Almost every single unit since then has gained major changes in abilities because they just simply dont fit the game anymore. abilities that are free and require zero user input should be in this category. Conveniently ignores the "Because nobody but the scrubbiest find it an issue after half a decade of being mostly unchanged" In: COH2 Balance

B4 precision strikes could be countered by insta-nuking the B4s as well, didn't mean the B4 wasn't broken. It can be baited with a mere 240mp investment and then it's on cool down and they are not generating any value from it at all. They could just constantly bomb your base with all of 2 clicks instead (much micro!) In the late game ost infantry suffers most from needing high micro to remain alive so its a non issue that they have something that saves them LITERALLY 2 clicks. In: COH2 Balance

YOU being unable to counter it doesn't mean it's broken. In: COH2 Balance

It used to be togger but was change for good reasons, it is time for axis counter batt to change, too. It requires an expensive unit to sit idle and wait for an enemy to trigger the ability. Huuuuge difference. A unit sitting there... Taking up pop cap and COULD be barrageing but is instead waiting.... It's like an AT gun sitting in Camo. Ain't gunna do fuck all of you don't trigger it.

The British Mortar pit was nerfed to require user imput for precisely the same reason, yet in team games you can set your howitzer to auto fire and it will take out katies randomly with no effort required. There's a huge difference from a 400mp unit coming out at 5min having no micro and a 400mp and 50fuel one once at vet 1being able to shoot at units that barrage if it's not already on cool down. Wanna know how to make CB useless? Get a mortar and fire it before you fire your Katy. It'll draw the fire and you can just move it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years19 Mar 2020, 19:33 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2020, 18:39 PMSkysTheLimit I could be wrong but camo was a vet 2 passive on old falls right? Maybe if they made it like it is now, comes by default and gives ambush with vet, and move the snare to vet 1. The costs would also need to be redone again I actually like the reinforcing on the field idea, but i feel like it is just a little too ambitious It used to be vet then iirc on their first overhaul it was made sooner but no ambush bonus but I could get behind your suggestion.

Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years19 Mar 2020, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2020, 13:51 PMSkysTheLimit What would you do for them though? Like i think they should've never had a snare, so that should stay gone imo. Their ambush bonus is really solid. They also have strong grenades that can be combined with that stealth to powerful effect I'm of the mind they were mostly fine before the change. The ambush bonus is a nice addition and I think any unit attacking from stealth should get it. Previously the snare wasn't an issue due to their squishiness and cost, I don't think it would be one if their dps is returned to the old high but not attack across no cover and still manage to win somehow high. Ambitiously Perhaps (and hear me out here) changing their vet 1 to reinforce on field (by plane, that Flys over the map) when not in combat. That would let them remain in enemy territory BUT let the enemy know they are still there... Somewhere.... But conservatively, I'd take a closer look at the doctrine and return falls to their former power level. A single apsectof a commander being the only selling point is never a good idea Mash the ostwind into the flak emplacement slot and combo them as "air defenses " or something and see how that looks. Then there are 2 units that share the weight of the commander instead of making falls OP to make it attractive In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years19 Mar 2020, 13:39 PM Regardless of the lore falls are elite infantry and should be represented as such. Nobody is arguing about the propaganda for guards or rangers nor should we be. Falls should be unique and powerful but I feel they land more on the latter and less on the former currently. The balance team did an admirable job in a momentous attempt to rework falls, but I think it missed the mark and in turn falls lost their spirit. In: COH2 Balance

It makes units like the Puma, Stug3, and SU76 harder to use than they should be. Those units could easily get an accuracy buff y'know In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Standardization18 Mar 2020, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2020, 18:02 PMProtos Angelus Jackson is a king of speed and maneuverability. It's a tank with a position and role brilliantly defined. Glass cannon by definition. It needs no nerfs/buffs. And Jackson can't really escape any ambush. 1v1 or 2v1 engagement it can escape if it leaves immediately and has luck on it's side (It's better to be born without a male reproductive organ, than without luck, cause with luck, your MRO will grow out of nowhere), but it's low armour really makes it a tank that if you have to retreat with it and you're not flanked/ambushed, you're playing it wrong. I never used Jackson on the same control unit bind (ctrl-X) with any other unit. Jacksons are their own bind always behind other units. Also, sight is important here too as a factor. You need vision to utilize range. Glass cannon by definition? I'd like to read your definition of glass cannon because mine isn't "every bit as durable as any other allied td but also able to escape damage easier and also able to dish it out better" it's "can deal great damage but if you misplay slightly it's toast" In: COH2 Balance
