Thread: AVRE vs SturmTiger 23 Jul 2020, 18:45 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2020, 09:44 AMWiderstreit So also ISU is OP as fu*k? Way higher fire-rate, and also long-range. A long-range Sturmtiger would be like a call-in ability, which can be destroyed. The isu, last I checked anyways only has 70 range. It used to have 100 way back but it was reduced because apparently highly armoured and mobile units with boat loads of health being able to fire 2. 5 times the range of normal tanks is pretty strong Picture this: calliope, like it was at launch with the same health and armour as a Sherman. But with MORE health and MORE armour and instead of saturating an area, it drops a nuke on it. Or how about this:a b4 but instead of being able to be off map deleted in a second.... Well it can't be. And instead of being able to get a cheeky flanking squad of the cheapest unit you can muster to get up on it and wipe its vet, you need a full on tank and 6 shots, maybe more because odds are some will bounce... Huge durability, mobility, potentially devistating payload extreme range. Recipe for poor balance. Being able to nuke an su85/firefly from 1.5 their own range while also being able to outlast them? Please think this through.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main gun crit23 Jul 2020, 18:32 PM A little rng makes the game unpredictable and exciting, but unrestricted rng makes it annoying as hell. Rng needs an aligning feature or something that allows a measure of predictability. Things like crits only happening at a certain threshold is good and predictable rng. Tanks surving a killing blow they had no right surviving multiple times in a row and instead getting a crit is not good rng I'd argue that at 25%...thats pretty well fine... I would still like it to become a wound rather than a require full repair crit, but happening when the tank is already being left as a 1 shot isn't the end of the world imo. I do quite like sanders suggesting of the greatly reduced accuracy, not sure how well that would line up for animations though given the gun barrel generally goes limper than gerry's dick when someone destroys a tiger.

Thread: Mobilize Reserves idea23 Jul 2020, 18:12 PM Soviet t3 isn't really lacking tbh as the su76 is a decent enough td and will perform well against Ostheer unless they go heavy Armour. Soviet t4 is just much more rounded. If there was reason to linger in t3 such as an economic benifit with a shock kv-8 it could see some work I think. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main gun crit23 Jul 2020, 13:41 PM I don't think so. It's fairly rare and adds some randomness. That said I'd like to see more "wounded crew" crits where imstead of disabling a component and requiring a repair it reduces efficiency and is only time gated In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T-34 Ram23 Jul 2020, 13:38 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2020, 05:16 AMKyle I know it's been talk to dead and I previously said I was ranting. But I don't think Relic will ever change the commander.. A commander reshuffle is more likely than a mechanic eemoval/change as it's easier and would have greater good impact on the game as a whole. Both EFA factions require a bit of commander tweaking to bring some weaker ones up to snuff and toning down strong ones can be done at the same time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mobilize Reserves idea23 Jul 2020, 03:40 AM The idea of the upgrade is that it comes at t4. The t3 price is an opportunity cost. Purchasing it sooner is a choice and should not be discounted. If one is worried about it delaying the T70 but find it comes too late they could purchase it post T70 however it should not discount the final tech as it adds flexibility and risk weighing. Choices like this are good and should be encouraged not made inconsequential and streamlined. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Calliope shotgunning nerf ideas22 Jul 2020, 23:55 PM Unless they can make the calliope a regular Sherman that can barrage and give that barrage a munitions cost to balance it I do not see any way to have the unit unique and in a state where it's fun to use and a challenge to play against. It needs to be a drain on the economy to use frequently to warrant being on a strong delivery system. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AVRE vs SturmTiger 22 Jul 2020, 21:22 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2020, 19:58 PMullumulu hmm...why excatly? seen u my youtube link? this ST cant even kill a mg with low HP and 3 model left when the rocket hit the mg crew on top of the heads. While a B4 can bring a KT very low with one shell why would be op? there are commanders with prists/ sextons and b4 in the game...which are cheaper and u even can spam them! why would a st with 90 range op?? Because 90 range is seriously huge. I'd sooner it work properly than be a wet noodle from significantly further away. And unless you plan on making the ST completely immobile and susceptible to all manner of off map and on map strikes I'd personally let that comparison drop. I totally couldn't see why a 90 range armored, high health nuke launcher would be problematic... Nooo not at all. It would be JUST like the sexton that could be killed by a 222 or puma flank and absolutely. See this is why nobody takes you seriously.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are sections balanced?22 Jul 2020, 19:43 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2020, 14:57 PMGachiGasm Sturms are strange aswell, they are luck dependent when they are charging to close range. Sometimes they can even charge rifles in cover lose 45-50% HP but have all models alive and beat rifles. Sometimes one model get sniped on approach and sturms will lose. In my extensive testing against tommies sturms lose IF they drop the first model before they get half way, any later than that and they nuke the tommies. This wasn't an issue before they changed tommies specifically to not be able to burst down models tho. Perhaps a small damage bonus to the enfields when in cover instead of all the other things in cover provides would align them a bit better with their cost effectiveness. Then make 5 man an upgrade that takes up a slot but also removes the cover modifiers to make them more mobile. Then we have squishy tommies that fight well on defense or more durable tommies that can fight on the move better In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T-34 Ram22 Jul 2020, 19:33 PM It's been talked to death and most people agree the bombing run needs to go. It fixes many issues. Recon and bombing should not be combined in a commander nor should heavy Armour and powerful off maps. All in one commanders are the problem, not an enemy driving straight through the your lines and wombo comboing your unsupported heavy TD. In: COH2 Balance
