Regardless, other grenade abilities reduce the range even if told to throw before suppression and this one should follow suit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Medics26 Mar 2020, 19:39 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2020, 18:01 PMLago That's what I think, yeah. Do them like the Soviet ones where you pay for them and they sit by the base structure. That's much easier to use for their intended purpose (a base healing option for non-Section builds) and solves the medic-stacking and medic army problems that the squad implementation creates. Reusing the Vanguard Glider squad seems like the worst of both worlds to me: it's janky to use and opens up a whole can of unintended interactions. Plus, do the medics take up pop? If so then that's shitty, if NOT then they could be abused since they can cap territory. It's simply more streamlined to have them automatrons and easier for balance as well. Staple the automatrons to the glider and call that a day (I literally can not think of a single time I've seen or built the medic squad anyways In: COH2 Balance

The best healing method is from coh1's panzer elite where you get automatic healing in the base sector. That should have been the implementation for soviets/ukf and maybe okw with bghq being a forward base or whatever. Id just give the medics a small aoe of healing so they don't screw up unable to heal the last member. For the UKF medics just tying them to the structure like ost bunker/UKF forward assembly medics would be best to save micro and what not In: COH2 Balance

I think that it's a casemate AI unit disqualified it from being a tank hunter... Doesn't mean it can't be used against armour in a pinch. Just don't rely on it being your only AT much like you won't for any of the soviet big boomers. Multiple doesn't mean great at them all, just serviceable. In: COH2 Balance

Some people think that if it isn't a rapid fire b4 barrage it's not good enough In: COH2 Balance

It can be a fairly unreliable ability - there are time s it just collides with something else. Usually craters. You literally had to stand around for it to do that. I've never wiped a squad with it, because people either move or retreat. Then the damn thing is on cooldown and you can't do anything. Generally it boils down to this - After you've tried to upgrade your fusiliers you can possibly squeeze in a barrage or two. You can keep doing it but you'll lock yourself out of your doctrinal arty. So no, the JT isn't a thing that I would consider to use against infantry. Have you ever tried it? It's a pretty terrible ability. It might work if it were a timed damage toggle but if you move out of the barrage area to either charge it or retreat then it's pretty much done because it can't follow up any shots. I e found the barrage incredibly reliable. The trick is to use it on things that can't move quick enough like mgs or AT guns In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Suggestion: sight options for Ostheer and USF26 Mar 2020, 06:02 AM OK so I've sat and thought and here's what I got: Soviet-fine don't need anything here Ost- good, but a bit more would certainly be a boon- proposition: bunkers gain increased Los when garrisoned This aligns to the mktre defensive design of Ostheer and hopefully brings more use into underutilized bunkers (can't recall the last time I saw one used for garrison) Usf not terrible but really not good. Proposition: OFFICERS in cover have increased Los (forgot that detail earlier) so that it's not super OP. imo officers lack definition. They should be what REALLY takes a usf player to the next level instead of being rifles that can get a weapon without racks... Brits- aec is good, Tommie in cover are good. Pyro Tommie are good. Eden vehicles get increased Los with their sole upgrade. Lots of options quite frankly. Nearly as good as the soviet, however its more organic so people seem to forget about it. Okw- not awful really. Uhu being chaneed will be nice, and a number of light vehicles aid in scouting. Jp4 later on is also fantastic. Also hare lots of options but like the brits not having to click a button or frankly, have trade offs to get it makes people forget its there I feel... No change aside from the Uhu rework really needed imo. In: COH2 Balance

The AEC does have 50 sight range. Very good post In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 HE shell range should be reduced?25 Mar 2020, 22:32 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2020, 22:09 PMPrinceps Than just remove the At mode. the commanders are strong enough without special soviet snowflake abilities Its not only that this unit fuks everthing in turbo mode noooo. it just come with counters to its counters.... like is its not easy enough to win with stock SU ... but with this overperforming piece... so after the Tiger nerfs we will see this thing in every 2vs2 game ... yeah! The AP shell is there because as an AI only unit it won't be worth the price. We know this because it USED to be an AI only unit. Perhaps we should give volks shrieks again, and make the bofors delete infantry instantly, pios with insane DPS and all the other things in the "It doesn't work but someone is going to suggest it again anyways" bin. On the topic of NOT already failed suggestions my input: The isu is in need of a look, as when it was put in its current state the Panther had a whack more armour. I'd reduce the deflection damage a bit and lower the pen to 180 at far (which is plenty enough to pen the ost p4 at all ranges) But ultimately a 260fu AI only unit would HAVE Tobe OP. it needs to have some serviceable AT in order to justify its price and it needs to have a high price or its would be a no brainer. It doesn't need an overhaul it just needs tweaked back in line after certain units were changed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Suggestion: sight options for Ostheer and USF25 Mar 2020, 21:40 PM Give usf the increased sight in cover bonus that used to be in recon company, for ost I think I agree a 222 upgrade via battle phase would be great. Even a lock down mode kinda thing In: COH2 Balance
