Thread: Model 24 stun grenades9 Aug 2018, 17:18 PM Do they add a debuff after the stun? I didnt think they did. Just stun and PREVIOUSLY half health the squad (now it's 10 damage eh?) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About USF early game, how about finally buffing RE a bit?9 Aug 2018, 17:15 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2018, 14:20 PMEsxile Why would you need more than one RE for that? Key is to win two first engagements and then snowball, one RE squad is enough for that. The issue is, or the ability is effective and using it in proper condition wins you the engagement, or it is not and it is useless. Abilities and grenade that have such impact on each engagement that they should come a bit later, around 3-4 minutes, not before. The only exception is for the anti-garrison. Make it their vet 1 then and make it useful. But again, if they are using it in the first few engagements they are really just tying up a squad hoping to let the others work. Suppression reduces incoming damage doesn't it? So it's slowing movement but not harming them out side that. The RE would still be vulnerable and immobile right? So if say it's a match up between sturms and volks against RE and rifles you would volley the sturms charging so your rifles could womo the volks. The cheap RE are tying up an expensive squad but if the volks turn on the RE instead of the rifles they could force them off and then it's battered volks and sturms against just rifles. Theory crafting is easy of course but that's all we have. That and comparing the old insta pin to the current never pin or even suppress... Volley fire is in the same boat as demos- noob traps designed to waste resources as they are so ineffecient. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About USF early game, how about finally buffing RE a bit?9 Aug 2018, 13:54 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2018, 07:38 AMEsxile It would be really bad, allowing the USF player with a button to win any engagement like flamnade was before being remove from start. But it would require mixing in RE instead of just building rifles for days. Against OKW it would hinder a Sturm rush for sure but if RE retained a debuff while it was happening the Kuble would be prime as fire support. Against OST I don't see much issue either because they are generally not hard aggressors especially against USF. They need MG support and cover to succeed. Again if it's not over the top like it was at launch it wouldn't be so bad. There needs to be counterplay which the debuff offers, but atm the debuff outweighs the actual effect. You are better off just focus firing 100% of the time In: COH2 Balance
Thread: vickers9 Aug 2018, 13:44 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2018, 08:04 AMmortiferum Think that honor goes to Maxim, though I find Vickers always snipe one model before suppressing and is oddly accurate against retreating squads xD I think the suppression problem with vickers is that the first targeted model kinda just die, and it doesnt suppress because it isnt firing while aiming at the next model. And it doesn't help that that exact phenomenon will lead to eating a lava nade and being forced away In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About USF early game, how about finally buffing RE a bit?8 Aug 2018, 19:16 PM A buffed volley fire wouldn't be too bad I don't think. It would open up options. Assuming it's balanced of course it would only be Much use against something like sturms or pgrens and each use would delay BARs slightly. It's not like it would be all good with no drawbacks here In: COH2 Balance

Or use callope or priest? Or usf pak howitzer? Or a tank? NO but I came onto the forum and posted about it on a thread about a different factions problems. Why hasn't relic fixed it yet?

Thread: Sherman howitzer bulldozer7 Aug 2018, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2018, 18:48 PMmiragefla No, if you want to see more Dozers, you need a Brummbar AOE profile where squads are forced to retreat if they take a hit at full health like the reworked Brummbar. The Dozer's already expensive, has no ability to fight off tanks, doctrinal, has less speed and armour than the Brummbar, its veterancy 2 does almost nothing for it in the role of a breakthrough/assault tank with its only gimmick being heavy crush and the ability to wipe if you're lucky. Ding ding ding! All large caliber guns should be like this. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: is 2 needs buff7 Aug 2018, 16:11 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2018, 04:10 AMFelixTHM It surely doesn't. It's already very good for its cost. I don't understand why people think that tanks should be perfect and weakness-free. If you give the IS2 good offensive ability it would be overpowered. Pershing: Everyone knows it's amazing, but it has a downside of super small health pool for a heavy tank Tiger: jack of all trades but not statistically impressive in any category. IS2: slower than average, but extremely heavily armoured. It deflects Panther and PAK shots regularly with its 375 armour, basically trades offense for defense. Is good vs other tanks but RNG cannon vs infantry. If you make it better against infantry it would basically just be a Tiger with much much more armour. Right now it's a Churchill with more RNG. Neither is good. It can be given the Brum bar treatment easily. I would: Buff damage to 200/240 but reduce ROF to keep DPS the same Adjust accuracy and profile so that it damages infantry reliably but isn't going to wipe every shot like launch. Make the 122 unique instead of the same as every other cannon. In: COH2 Balance
