Thread: Buff for wehr tactical movement8 Mar 2021, 21:26 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2021, 16:51 PMelchino7 The competitive commander with Tact movement (Lighting) has G43. Tact movement for that commander is fine, the problem is that Blitzkrieg has eternally been overshadowed by other commanders with better combinations of abilities. If the coh2win site is right go with: CP4 to CP3/2 Cost from 40 to 30 Duration from 20s to 15s If it's fine in another commander I wouldn't tune it too much. Best just replace it with an existing ability of a similar type. Assault and hold, valiant assault or hell, the ability from close the pocket that let's vehicles cap territory would be beyond perfect for blitzkrieg... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Zooks for con/penals in Lend Lease 8 Mar 2021, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2021, 19:40 PMUnit G17 At this point zook drop wouldn't even be that far fetched, considering soviets could already equip other soviets with SVTs and brits drop vickers and piats for everyone. And I agree that the bundle should be separated. I mean sure, considering that you get an M5 and an assault guard squad equipped with tommies without any munition investment it is a good price for 1-2 call-ins, I mean you can turn one M5 into AA and keep an another for reinforcing, but then the rest becomes a burden. And even if the M5 was replaced with some other HT unavailable to soviets it would be still a burden when you just want more assault guards. Separate them, make the thompsons a munition upgrade, it will be more expensive this way but not many will miss the discounted bundle, I'm certain. . Bundles are not necessarily bad, but the units within should be replaceable. Consider the bundle as an unlock fee and thusly allow the units within to a bit stronger than their timing might otherwise allow as an individual unit. In essence. Buy the bundle then you sre free to build the units from the bundle as you see fit. But you must purchase the bundle to get access to the individual units in it. This would work regardless of what halftrack is installed in the commander, but would obviously be more attractive and interesting if it wasn't a halftrack the soviet already have stock... Would work nice for the guards though! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Zooks for con/penals in Lend Lease 8 Mar 2021, 15:29 PM I always thought the M5 should have been a variation of the UKF halftrack that drops guns. Since cons only have 1 slot and it competes with 7 man (unlike Svts that come much earlier and don't have an "unlock" like getting the halftrack would I don't think it would be an issue. Would get around the bit of having a non doc vehicle locking a doctrinal infantry squad too. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope7 Mar 2021, 21:22 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 17:00 PMPip Sturms are a lot worse than Panzergrenadiers, they have slightly better damage at absolute point-blank (sub-5 range), but their drop-off is a lot more severe, so they need to get a lot closer. Their RA is also significantly worse, which makes their having to get close even more of a hindrance. They also don't have Bundle Grenade... Stun is nice, but it's an utility, not a damage dealing tool. (There's also Combined Arms... but this isnt a constant thing) This makes sense obviously, due to their /far/ earlier timing compared to Pgrens, and their better utility... But you can't really justify building more than one and trying to use them as a "real" combat unit past the first couple minutes, especially since they have other shit they need to do, while Pgrens have no job except "kill guy". Sturms are also supporting Volksgrenadiers, whereas Pgrens are supporting the much better Grenadiers (And the MG42), so they're kinda carrying a heavier weight which compounds all this. Sturms are great, and the OKW early game would be pretty much impossible without them, but they're not really comparable to Pgrens. The thing that really makes sturms good is their vet. If you can get em to vet 2 before there's a saturation of targets, they get pretty tanky (-23% target size) putting them to 0.67 target size. Vet 2 sturms are a slight bit more tanky than vet 1pgrens are at 0.68 target size. I'm not a great player, but I frequently get vet 5 sturms in 2s, 3s and 4s (don't play 1s much anymore) It hurts when you lose them, but they have a psychological effect on the enemy when they are on the front that can buy time for other units to position better. They arnt pgrens, but they don't fall off as rapidly as people think either. Just as the enemy gets more firepower and vet they are less capable of soloing enemy squads like they can at the start of the match. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Vickers HMG able to shoot beyond its shooting range ?7 Mar 2021, 21:03 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 18:54 PMAngrade (Ægion) A quick tip. If you select the unit inside the garrison rather than the garrison itself, it will display the correct range. yupp. this is it. when you click the building it shows the arc from the centre point of the building, but since the mg is in a window, its closer to the edge. click on the unit in the building garrison slot to see the actual range and keep ion mind the vickers has an ability that increases the range a bit!

Thread: Buff for wehr tactical movement6 Mar 2021, 22:04 PM tbh tac movement should have the attck while moving ting that okw spec ops has (the one that also makes units invisble on the mioni map and costs the same) as it would grant a more tactical option for ost. it wouldnt be as strong without the mini map invisibility and the fact that grens are not good on the move like obers/sturms/stg volks are. pgrens could be strong, but they are at least somewhat more limited than the entirety of okw infantry.

Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope6 Mar 2021, 22:01 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2021, 16:10 PMblvckdream No because sandbags are not available in the same way: Ostheer: Pioneers can build them but Grens can not OKW: Sturms can not build them but Volks can Soviets: Engineers can not build them but Cons can, Penals again can not USF: No sandbags non-doctrinally but tank traps that also give green cover UKF: Only mainline can build them With this proposed change every faction would have sandbags available for their engineer/builder unit and thus making all factions even more similar and boring. i disagree. requiring engineers would be better than it being on mainlines, because then you require a unit to fortify that isnt the most plentiful squad you are going to have on the field. you dont REALLY see sandbag spam from ost BECAUSE you cant just slap one down with one of the 4 squads you have on hand to fight and clear garrisons and snare like okw can. sandbags wernt really an issue when soviet could only make em ei5ther, becasue cons were no your main fighting force, thusly you were not able to saturate the map. theres nobody up in arms about how engineers lay mines and how that mkes the game boring, and like mines, different engieeers could have different fortifications. soviet have the bags they have ost keeps their bags as is (or rework bunkers...) usf (while they dont have baqgs, have green cover tank traps which are almost the same, just a bit jankier to use) brits could lose the bags all together and just use trenches and okw, probably give them normal bags like ost but built quicker unless there are alternatives.

Thread: Buff Ost and Sov artillery guns (LefH 105mm and ML-20 152mm)6 Mar 2021, 21:51 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2021, 19:20 PMPip Reducing their pop-cap would make them a LOT more usable in smaller modes... though I think it's worth considering hard-caps on the units in team modes. what i would like, is a pop reduction but add a muni income reduction (sort of like how pop cap reduces MP income, but with muni) then you can build as many as your pop cap allows, but good luck mining to defend it, or having a snare ready for a dive. then its not a hard cap, nor does it cripple your arm composition but it does impact your economy, especially if you build a bunch (like in team games) In: COH2 Balance
