Thread: Call in Meta25 Apr 2020, 17:48 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2020, 17:09 PMKieselberg The call in design is a balance issue; not the Greyhound itself. it doesnt matter if its a call in or a built unit, anything from a 222 up pretty well will punish you for crewing a weapon with zero nearby support. thats the role of these units. if you have AT and a snare (that one is most important) the unit will be drastically less effective and exploiting you. without a replay i cant give more direct advice but if you have nothing to stop a LV from cruising up to your team weapons and plinking away at them they will cruise up to your team weapons and plink away at them. its not a design issue, its not a balance issue, its called how the game works.

Thread: Call in Meta25 Apr 2020, 16:55 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2020, 16:51 PMVipper There is little reason for call-in vehicles with instant production to exist in the first place they could become build able form HQ. The current system of doctrinal vehicles is mess already with different requirements and method of units arriving. I agree with this. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Skill planes25 Apr 2020, 16:31 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2020, 15:13 PMelchino7 My view on skillplanes for CoH3 would be to make them loiter around first during the map on approach and then let the player have X number of times to allow them to manually strafe something. Even if they flew over first something akin to a recon flight then did a strafe by themself so there was a chance to shoot them down before they struk In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Changes i feel grens need25 Apr 2020, 15:05 PM It's too late for a rework but what ost needs is fine tuning via the battle phase system. Grens, while a 4 man squad are arguably the easiest to balance because they have up to 6 other tech levels that would allow for ensuring they are never left behind. The dage reduction via Vet SHOULD have been implemented via this system. One could grant things like increased rof via battle phase, better RA, cheaper abilities, cheaper reinforcement (already done last patch). Things that keep them viable but still unique AND utilize the woefully underused teching system. Grens don't need 5 men or g43s, ost needs an update that puts tech into consideration and at the heart of scaling just like usf, ukf and okw do. Which techs you utilize or skip should matter more than what units you can field, especially when you have 4 buildings and 3 sub techs. That's 7 potential places to alter and tweak and keep interesting. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger and ARVE25 Apr 2020, 13:24 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2020, 18:45 PMDoomlord52 Not to mention, it would allow for some incredible ambush opportunities. The loud sound would be more than enough warning, too. This could actually be a viable change, with some adjustments - but it does change the roll of the unit (and use-case) a fair bit. You basically couldn't use it in the current "assault tank" roll anymore (i.e. driving up to the target directly), and it would instead become an LOS ambush unit. That's how I feel. The unit really shined as an ambush unit and if can return to that role with a bit more warning it might actually see some field time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger and ARVE24 Apr 2020, 18:14 PM Would 4-5 seconds fly time to hit the target be a huge nerf compared to 1-2 seconds to hit the ground 10' in front of the target tho? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger and ARVE23 Apr 2020, 15:23 PM They could have simply lowered its ohk substantially and widened the damaging aoe (or for that matter LEFT it as it was and lowered the ohk radius) VS reinventing the wheel and that wheel is just the axle dragging in the mud.... The old Sturm WAS OP but it did take a bit of finesse to use well. The increased the work required to make it work and completely removed the reward. It's as dead as dead units could be. Replace it with soviet irregular and the slot would see more use. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Pershing.23 Apr 2020, 14:21 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2020, 13:03 PMLago You're kidding, right? The Pershing outperforms the HE Sherman against infantry, the best anti-infantry medium in the game. That's anything but piss poor. It's not gamebreakingly powerful any more, but it's still really, really good. Its cod guy and a usf unit. He wouldn't be happy with the Pershing if it shot Sturm tiger rockets every 6 seconds and had a pintle upgrade that shot solid gold eagles. There would a thread in seconds asking why it shoots slower than the tiger and blaming that for him losing a game In: COH2 Balance
