Thread: Rifle Company need to be rework24 Sep 2018, 13:57 PM The Jackson NEEDED knocked down a peg. It was given tools to survive as a squishy TD. Los, speed, great turret, 60 range... Then suddenly wasn't squishy. It could brawl with P4's while out ranging AND seeing it far as the P4 could shoot guaranteeing supremacy. You needed to have a mental deficiency or be facing a freshly nerfed JT/elefant to lose a Jackson before it was balanced down a bit. Well that or creeping Rak cheese that for some reason is still in game... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flame Halftrack24 Sep 2018, 12:02 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2018, 11:37 AMSander93 That's what I said give pages ago. Panzer Tactician smoke is the main offender. I'd hardly call an infantry light AT squad a counter to an anti-infantry vehicle. AT guns with snares/mines do well in deterring the 251 and honestly I think most of its effectiveness comes from the stubbornness of Soviet players of calling in softcounter PTRS infantry instead of ATGs. Every German player knows the T-70 is coming and has to prepare counters for it (laying tellers, building pre-emptive PaK/Panzershrecks or even choosing an entire doctrine), but Soviet players somehow seem to refuse to adjust their build orders to face the inevitable flame 251. And they get punished for it. I think the flame damage itself could be toned down (and duration damage increased) a bit so it isn't as wipey on retreat while remaining as effective against regular targets. But I also think the T-70 wipe-on-retreat potential should be toned down similarly. There's somewhat of a timing difference between the fht and the T70 allowing for more time to prep. Additionally the Soviet have to chose between penals who get the prts or the lackluster Maxim supported by lack luster cons to have access to the zis. It's like comparing the luchs and the centaur, except in this case the luchs has much more power... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Universal Carrier vs Volks24 Sep 2018, 10:55 AM Denying garrisons and cover anywhere on the map ensures a dominant position which makes already strong volks even stronger. Then having an insta pop flame nade is a problem in part because they are so dominant in numbers. Cons at least have a 6 year animation and usually have to leave cover because they have to drop the molotov at their feet. Plus cons are not core combatants like volks are unless you get ppshs. Flame nade is probably one of the best in the game when it comes to power granted. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flame Halftrack23 Sep 2018, 17:13 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2018, 13:57 PMWiderstreit For playing Osttruppen, it is a usless tech. That's why it also gets unlocked with T2 since last patch. So or so there were scenarios that happend. And the Question isn't about that, only changin ability a. with a less OP ability, with option b. getting it back, when needed. 10 fuel and 80mp. That's what you are skipping. It's on YOU if you skip it. Know what the comparable cost is? 25 fuel and 125mp for the Soviet it's a fucking bargain AND you get support units from it. Quit bitching about not having tools you chose to forgo In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stormtrooper changes23 Sep 2018, 17:09 PM Well if flame nades can 80% caches on their own we can probably just completely transition into admitting volks are the be all end all for omni potent infantry. Able to clear buildings, caches and deny cover, snare, cheap, self heal, build cover, upgrade to STGs that make them good on the move, great up close, better at range... Unless we are going to make it another variant with different properties but almost certainly the same name to trip up the few new players that may stumble into trying the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Universal Carrier vs Volks23 Sep 2018, 17:04 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2018, 18:45 PMmr.matrix300 Why? Raketen misses quite often and isn't one shot for Vehicles thus allowing your enemy to escape even if you hit. So the counter needs adjusted it the UC. The Rak missing is a known problem of the Rak that effects it the whole game through. Advocate for fixing something that's not working not breaking something that is. The thing is that the OKW player needs a 270 MP unit to have even the chance of countering a 260 unit. 10 whole mp! Thats less than a seconds worth of generation. That's half of 1 conscripts model this isn't even a recurring cost. It's 10mp ONCE. A cost you will not ever even notice. But it's cost doesn't stop being relevant after purchase. After killing that 260mp unit you as the OKW can salvage for 5 fuel AND retain that 270mp investment for future inevitable armour. Neat! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stormtrooper changes21 Sep 2018, 23:01 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 21:20 PMLoopDloop Honestly though. Misinformed people keep complaining about how stormtroopers have no dps now and that couldn't be farther from the truth lol. I mean to be fair one would expect the new mp40 to follow the performance of the existing ones, which is lackluster to say the least (not unreasonable giving the timing of the some of the units slinging them) this whole same name but working differently business is getting out of hand (look at hit the dirt on cons and hit the dirt on guards for example) you shouldn't need to keep track of which things of the exact same name function in what way. Christ. Call it the mp-40/II just to define it or something.. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opel Blitz- why?21 Sep 2018, 22:56 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 20:41 PMMuricaFYeah A clear type b) response. OK, so, not balanced on history, how does opel blitz create balance? Why doesn't Ost have 6 man double lmg squads? Why does the Soviet have so many high AOE weapons? Why can certain units disappear entirely and move across open fields unseen? It's a game. Quit bitching because you lost and get back at it. In: Lobby
Thread: Opel Blitz- why?21 Sep 2018, 20:31 PM Because the game isn't balanced on history? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flame Halftrack20 Sep 2018, 16:47 PM What about improving the wasp firing arc so it doesn't need to be almost right on to shoot? Just a few degrees more traverse could help a lot with being able to hit and run garrisons. In: COH2 Balance
