For USF it does make the difference: no atnade at this moment of the game and barely one zook if you decide to go lt first. If you read past the first 9 words with will find more! For example directly following where you stopped reading is "when it comes to spam". If you are already planning on spamming them 5 fuel isn't going to make a difference one bit because it's the MP that will drain you. The 22q is incredibly squishy and doesn't need hard AT to push it off. Stick to hard cover and watch as it takes far more damage than it deals and has to fall back for repairs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW 22115 Dec 2018, 19:24 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2018, 19:20 PMKatitof Anything less and we would see it being spammed to completely overwhelm USF for example, who have no answer to lights at all from get go, UKF at least can put up a fight with UC and soviets with M3, but 2 of these things against USF in 2nd/3rd minute would royally fuck them up. I don't think 15 fuel would make hell of a large difference when it comes to spam. Knock off 5 fuel and add a point of armour and see how that feels? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dealing with blobs15 Dec 2018, 19:21 PM I think the best route is to give units in green cover incremental accuracy. The units in a prepared position can put up a fight against the onslaught of the enemy before they get focus fired to hell with all sorts of automatic weapon. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper15 Dec 2018, 18:50 PM I think a 20mp reduction is the sweet spot here. That puts 30mp cheaper than volks which would be acceptable for performance and 20mp cheaper than grens which can be chalked up to lacking a stock weapon. The side techs can/should be adjusted too, but that's a separate issue that won't make much better for cost in the early stages In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW 22115 Dec 2018, 18:48 PM It's firepower is very good, I don't disagree with that at all, I just feel like for its timing it's a bit squishy FOR COST. it doesn't necessarily need to be made more durable, but maybe cheaper (you can add the reduced cost to the upgrade to not bust the balance of the cache) I expect more for 20 fuel with no transport ability.

Thread: Should Air supermarcy have a smaller bombing zone?15 Dec 2018, 18:44 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2018, 16:20 PMLoopDloop There's no counterplay to a lot of airstrikes though. IL2 bombing and frag bombs almost always get through, and stuka literally doesn't even spawn a dang plane. I do wish the bombing had a smaller zone though. Being able to actually control where they go to some extent would be great, as it really is the main portion of the ability. Those have a smaller impact thoug (not to say they shouldn't be able to be countered but that's not the focus of this thread) If AS gets smaller it will just be an arty strike with a fancy animation.

Thread: OKW 22115 Dec 2018, 15:11 PM Hi all, just wondering: do you think the 221 might come a bit late? At 20 fuel and its low armour I think having to place a truck makes it too expensive. I could see locking the upgrade behind a truck so the fighting cache doesn't come quite so soon but I think the standard 221 isn't really impactful enough as a unit to be delayed as much as it is with such a fuel cost. Thoughts? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should Air supermarcy have a smaller bombing zone?15 Dec 2018, 15:06 PM I thought it just needed some sort of counterplay, then it's former glory would be acceptable: Have planes fly over ahead (escort planes) and every escort that gets shot down is 1 less bomber. Having AA weakens the strike, not leaves you heavily punished. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: the problem with soviet lategame15 Dec 2018, 14:36 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2018, 06:55 AMNaOCl You're telling me, that someone manages to raketen your katy in the 15 seconds it has to leave base to fire? You dont need infantry across the hold front, just one squad 50 in front of your katy for the 30 seconds it takes to fire its payload and reverse to the rear, your base sector, where raketens cant be cloaked. Not everything has to be reactionary. If you know the enemy has a Katy you can hunt it. They usually fire from roughly the same place every time in my experience In: COH2 Balance
