Thread: 60 range TD5 Apr 2020, 10:26 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2020, 05:59 AMAerohank Do you remember USF in teamgames in the 480hp Jackson era? They were horrible. Died instantly to schreck teams and Jagdpanzers / Blitzing Panthers ate them up for breakfast. Max range PEN reduction would be a better idea. The issue is that when they were 480hp they were given many tools to survive like that, then they cranked up the health, increased the price and called it a day leaving a unit with average durability but vastly above average mobility making it extremely durable. It would be like taking grens, slapping 2 extra models on them, adding 20mp and calling it a day while leaving their lmg, med kits, damage reduction ect. Except they also have an ability that gives them bonus DPS and for some reason the lmg can fire on the move. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: 60 range TD5 Apr 2020, 02:48 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 23:28 PMStug life The problem is only 1 60 TD that has all the good stuff of the firefly and su 85 but non of the drawbacks But it's the only AT they have* * if you exclude the higher than average pen on the Sherman... Or the fact that every single infantry they field can carry a bazooka... Or the elite version on the elite infantry thats nearly as good as a shrek but much faster firing.... Or the various doctrinal AT vehicles... Or the fastest firing AT gun in the game that can also have the highest pen and the longest range. Anways that's why the Jackson has to be the most mobile, incredibly accurate on the move, fast ass turret, long vision, full health but also self healing. Oh and the ability to increase pen as well as damage. Because there are no other options (that I want to use) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Question about 120mm mortar5 Apr 2020, 00:22 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 23:39 PMCODGUY My math says 5-4 on a 120mm mortar is B.S. compared to 4-2 on an 81mm mortar which begs the question why is this even a thing? As said, soviet squads have larger squad sizes. It's a thing. Look it up. Literally any, and literally all soviet weapon teams up to and including the ml-20 EXCEPT the 120mm you are whining about, which has 5, because it can retreat with 1 man (which is an unfixable bug) do try to keep up.

Thread: USF Airborne Company5 Apr 2020, 00:18 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 05:58 AMCODGUY This is kinda what I think. Make Pathfinders CP1 for 300 MP and a 5th man. Yay. More ez mode durable infantry.. Very very very exciting.... That'll add more flavor for sure. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank AI rebalance4 Apr 2020, 19:18 PM @loop the coaxial would get a bonus to green Cover (not negate it but lessen it's impact) and the Canon would get a bonus vs garrisons. This would mean it would still be strong vs units its directly targeting but not overly so. green cover would still always be a benifit. As for blobs, if it isn't set as such already we could turn the (I don't remeber the name for it) mode where a missed bullet rerolls a nearby model on. If that's on for all the tank mgs I imagine even a blob would want to take cover best it can. The idea is to make cover more important not less. Keep in mind right now being in the wrong cover makes you more vulnerable not less. Infantry in the open should take a lot of damage, not RNG wipe or do nothing. Tanks should be scary to be caught out by. Right now you can flank an AT gun, and sit on top of it and if RNG says it lives no amount of cannon shots will change its mind. As for the HE/AT shells, I agree it's a great feature that should be on all tanks, but this and that don't need to be mutually exclusive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Question about 120mm mortar4 Apr 2020, 04:14 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 01:50 AMCODGUY I think it's b.s. this unit gets to retreat with 1 guy after having a crew of 5. That needs to go the way of the dodo bird. Just like the small mortar will get away with 2/6 men. To do the math for you: 6-2=4 models dead and can still retreat, 5-1=4 omg! They can retreat after losing the exact same models!! Craaaazy! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sweepers in half track's shouldn't detect mines.4 Apr 2020, 00:32 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2020, 22:28 PMWiderstreit Better give negative clear-speed if suppressed. That is something needed since years. Negative clear speed?.... So when they are suppressed they lay mines....? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sweepers in half track's shouldn't detect mines.3 Apr 2020, 22:03 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2020, 21:39 PMMazianni I sympathize, and there are a good few weapons that should not be possible to fire out of a halftrack (Panzershreks and Bazookas with backblast) but the last thing non-upgraded halftracks need right now are nerfs imo, given how flimsy and off-meta they already are. I know it's technically impossible to fire a panzershrek from an enclosed position, don't read the fucking manual next time and you won't care so much! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank AI rebalance3 Apr 2020, 10:52 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2020, 07:02 AMAerohank I don't think this will improve consistency much. Units like the ostwind, Brumbar, and ISU152, rely completely on their main guns to counter infantry so will still get lots of kills against clumped up units. Buffing MGs and removing cover mechanics for tank MGs also makes things like using a sandbag wall with guards behind them a lot worse against medium armor for no reason. Pintle MG upgrades are not devided evenly. Medium and heavy tanks often have the same number of MGs so either the MGs will have to be inconsistent in strength or the main guns will still need different AI strength, which will still lead to inconsistent wipes against clumped units. I don't think you read the OP... Just skimmed.... Uneven allotment of pintles was addressed. Additionally while not explicitly stated I figured it would be assumed that AI tanks were going to remain unique. As well thought out and totally awesome as your idea of the ostwind relying entirely on its pintle would be I'm just not sure ost could handle that.... Brummbär was also (again not explicitly) slightly touched on with talking about heavies and how they need to be front loaded with wipe potential but a pintle would allow for more consistency and thus less reliance on wipey DPS. Heavy Armour would be a caliber above mediums naturally, I didn't think it needed to be said that a 12cm IS-2 cannon wouldn't have the same reduced AI as the 75-76s of the medium armour stated in the title and discussed in the post. The important thing is that special units remain a cut above but your run of the mill medium is reliable and still a threat. In: COH2 Balance
