Thread: Another JLI Idea3 Jan 2019, 23:15 PM Tbh I'd like to experient with hard caps for call in units. Guard spam can't be a thing if you can only support 2...same with panzer fussiliers same with JLI same with rangers same with........ Much like heavy tanks being capped at 1 allowed them to be made formidable without the risk of being over used (and thus nerfed to fuck) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dropping mp price on the maxim and the soviet mortar.3 Jan 2019, 23:04 PM I would rather the maxim be made more expensive to accommodate the 6 man crew and function as an MG than made cheaper and require at least a pair to stop it from being flamenaded head on. As for the mortar I think it's actually over performing. Given the realignment of mortars making them mostly the same the 82mm got out ahead with the largest crew and vet 0 flares... Again, I think a price increase is the step to take so that support weapons and infantry are priced to SUPPORT constripts instead of replacing them wholesale Edit: I can't vote because the pole lacks such options In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Another JLI Idea3 Jan 2019, 21:57 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2019, 21:20 PMBaba im playing coh 2 alot and in all honesty, ive seen JLI spam only once on my own team (2v2) and it failed miserably. i never had any problems dealing with JLI neither. i get to read those numbers of accuracy and stuff but really, have you actually seen how it plays out in a real game? from what i have seen they are like every other infantry spam except they dont get to use at weaponry to counter vehicles. how does a jli squad perform against a greyhound, t34 or a flak halftrak? lemme guess: okw is so op, in the same moment they spam 20 jli squads they still have enough mp to recruit 15 raketenwerfer. If i was relic i would tackle 20 other things before i consider jli a real problem If you've played coh2 alot then you are familiar with "bleed" right? That's where you inflict manpower damage that the enemy has to replace. So sniper type units are VERY good at inflicting this "bleed". This is usually offset by a very fragile model set to inflict this bleed that Also costs about 50% more than a regular squad and takes much longer to build impacting field presence. This provides risk for the reward of bleed. Know going forth from there: Paying the same as a volks unit, but with the ability to spawn from buildings. (there goes the cost factor) 4 models (durability....) Callin/building spawn (time factor) Just because YOU have not faced it doesn't mean it's not problematic from a design and balance perspective. And to add: the rakk costs 270mp. That's 50mp cheaper than a normal AT gun. Combined with the effectiveness of JLI and volks its plenty viable getting one out. Ag In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Another JLI Idea3 Jan 2019, 17:13 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2019, 16:37 PMmurky depths Wasn't there a big hub-bub over the 2man sniper team Soviets had. A 3 man 75% sniper team seems like we'd be walking backwards right into that. Not that a 4man 75% sniper team is any better. I was actually thinking about that today. Sprinting 2 models is too durable so here's 4 models that sprint and field spawn and can booby trap and can self heal and are 80mp cheaper... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW overhaul discussion3 Jan 2019, 00:31 AM heres what i came up with as a suggestion for okw teching tl:dr of it is that each truck gives access to certain units, and some are gated to number of trucks placed. so the player can decide their timing and the okw can still have access to important units like the JP4 and obers even if they cant fully tech to the schwere as with any faction overhaul, its a bit lengthy so please bear with me In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rework Penals2 Jan 2019, 12:50 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jan 2019, 03:14 AMNaOCl They are cheap, compared to sturmpioniers. They're better in every way. I'd rather have Volks with sweepers and Sturmpionier as combat infantry. Actually, penals and sturms cost the same per unit! But penals are gated behind an additional 160mp. As for efficiency, sturms are far more capable at repairing tanks than penals, sturms also do a better job at healing infantry! And sweeping for mines. And dealing damage up close.... Penals are better combat units for sure, but that's not unreasonable considering you are comparing engineers and a fucking combat only unit.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wishlist for 20191 Jan 2019, 23:30 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jan 2019, 23:00 PMDoomlord52 Realistically, more frequent but smaller patches. Every patch doesn't need to re-work a half-dozen docs, rework a faction, change 30 units and adjust 80% of the maps while also taking 4 months to make. A smaller monthly patch that simply adjust a few units or docs would be fine. Smaller focused patches would be great. Less massive balance upsets would allow us to better feel out what is working as intended and not just being left in the past. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW overhaul discussion1 Jan 2019, 23:21 PM I always thiught the stuka could be tied the first level of schwere if it were split. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmpionier 1 Jan 2019, 21:32 PM I think dropping 2 STGs in favor of MP40s and making them cheaper would be a good general change across the board. Allow them an upgrade to 4 STGs and a better target size? In: COH2 Balance
