Thread: give the okw a sniper22 Aug 2020, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2020, 12:15 PMSerrith For combat stats only, volks with max veterency get -24% recieved accuracy +30% weapon accuracy -20% weapon cooldown For comparison rifles get -38% recieved accuracy +30% accuracy -20% weapon cooldown Ostruppen get -28.5% recieved accuracy +40% accuracy -20% weapon cooldown Conscripts get -37.3% recieved accuracy +50% accuracy -20% weapon cooldown The only mainline infantry that gets worse combat bonuses is the infantry sections who get less recieved accuracy reduction and less accuracy-but make up for it by having the lowest stock recieved accuracy of any mainline in the game by a fair margin. My point is that volks vet really isn't that good. The passive healing is great and imo it wouldn't hurt to put it back to vet 3 but other then that, they just don't scale as well as pretty much any other mainline. I am not saying they should be buffed, but they are definitely on the weak end of mainlines. Volks had their vet gutted pretty hard when they had shreks that let them vet up pretty much instantly. I can get behind a vet buff for them, including returning their self heal at vet 3 since it's earned now. Between vet and perhaps more "truck related" buffs to help them scale without all the weight on vet I think volks could be a bit more interesting Its no secret I don't like volks current design, but incorporateing their scaling with the unique okw teching could make them more dynamic and interesting than "rifles but worse and instead of side techs they just get everything when you build your first tech" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen and M1919.21 Aug 2020, 20:34 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2020, 20:28 PMProtos Angelus How are Rifles under performing? They are in a really really good spot right now. The only fighting infantry for USF (not counting the officers) non-doc and they do the job splendidly. They negate the need for elite infantry due to the versatility with racks. Only downside is that if you lose them, you lose access to snare. Short range they only lose to Sturmpios early on and long range to volks and sometimes grens but medium range they excel, placing them in a good spot (most engagements are medium range). Everything usf is too weak and everything axis is OP for cod guy. He thinks the elefant has too much AI and that the Jackson could use an HE shell. There is no reasoning. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: give the okw a sniper21 Aug 2020, 16:02 PM Kubles could afford to be a bit better against snipers but I don't think okw needs their own as a counter. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen and M1919.21 Aug 2020, 01:35 AM Even though your post doesn't really have anything to do with the m1919 I'm going to base my reply on the title: Imo m1919s should be non doc, it's odd for a part of a base be locked behind 2 doctrines. I'd adjust the cost of the officers slightly to compensate but have captain or lieutenant unlock the BAR, the other unlock the Zook and major unlock the m1919 This guarantees access to these upgrades and stops inflating the price of rifles on the basis these are "optional" and balance with them being inevitable can be applied.

Thread: USF what if21 Aug 2020, 01:00 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2020, 23:54 PMCODGUY I think so. That's why USF is such a garbage faction and OKW is OP by comparison. I say include the Scout Car with the existing units. USF has by far the worst starting game of any faction, they could use a boost there. I couldn't agree more I think step 1 though would be giving the Jackson AT LEAST as much AI as the elefant has. That will really help level out the usf late game In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2 of my balance suggestions with reasoning20 Aug 2020, 21:03 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2020, 19:13 PMthomasagray By the time a typical Ostheer player gets 12 CP, they'd probably have a Support Armor Korps already built. If that is the case, they'd only require Battle Phase 3 upgrade but not necessarily the Heavy Panzer Korps. But I think the community that does the patch should have the tools for at least that. I don't think it's an issue of feasiblity so much as how much time it will take vs the impact it'll have. I'm saying that for all the differnce that it'll make (which is little) it's almost not worth the effort as the change is so miniscule. It would be like adding 5 fuel to the Jackson--a token change with less value that effort to do. Not to say that it isn't necessarily a good idea, just that it's very low impact and attention could be better used elsewhere imo. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: possibilty to push back the late game td's20 Aug 2020, 19:33 PM There is already in place a system that recognizes vehicle classes in wrecks, so perhaps simply slowing the ROF of high TDs and applying bonus damage against heavy Armour could work assuming the game recognizes the class of armour while it's alive as well. For example you take the su85 and slow down its ROF but give it bonus damage against heavy tanks such that the DPS against those targets is effectively unchanged but the lower rof makes it less effecient vs medium armour giving room for the su76 to have a place. The su85 would still work against medium armour, just less efficiently. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2 of my balance suggestions with reasoning20 Aug 2020, 13:56 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2020, 10:14 AMA table This is in theory a decent suggestion, but in practice this would overlap with vaulting. You can also just build another sandbag behind the damaged one if you want to retain the ability to have your troops take cover there. It would be possible if you make it that the repair ability can fix sandbags rather than rightclicking it. Not sure if this is something that would come in a patch, assuming that they are coming in the future. Click on the repair button before clicking just like an abandoned vehicle. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: 2 of my balance suggestions with reasoning20 Aug 2020, 02:33 AM I'm on board with the second one, not so much on the first and that's solely because t4 is like 100mp now or something inconsequential so more work (even a little) with limited resources should be avoided. In: COH2 Balance
