Thread: Winter 2021 Balance Patch - Discussion 2 Mar 2021, 02:49 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2021, 00:40 AMPip Ideally Ram will just be removed entirely and replaced with a different ability, honestly. I'm hoping the Balance Team have made this change as a stop-gap while they mull over ideas for a replacement ability for both the T-34 and the 85, but we'll have to see. eh. it would have to be a hell of an ability, because currently the soviets only stock way to fight armour is head on. ram at least buys time for other assists, even in its current form. itll let you close with penals (hopefully) or get a salvo or 2 off from your zis or SU perhaps the t34 ram should actually act sort of as a conventional snare- with thresholds based on the health of the target: 100% health means damage only- no stun 75% health means stun like now 50% means engine damage 25% means heavy engine damage something like that. then theres more counterplay and it means actually suiciding ther t34 becomes more worth it the more beat up the enemy tank is. it then scales with heavy armour (more health means deeper thresholds) while still being unique and acting as the fore multiplier it was meant to be.

It reminds me of the M-42 when its was given a canister shot and then just killed him, as if to say: yes, we gave the M-42 a unique ability, but no one will use it now. i disagree. the ram will still allow for other better AT units to make use of the time without completely nuking the vehicle. i DO however think the t34 should have got something in return to make it more worth the cost- something like the cromwell got to make it worth flanking with or getting in the enemies face since many other tanks are roughly as fast as the t34 is already its often difficult to make use of the flank despite the great risk it imposes on the tank. i sort of with that rear armour damage was modified so that ontop of the increased chance to pen there was increased damage (across the board, not just from t34s) to further promote, or rather reward flanks.

Thread: Current state of the IS-21 Mar 2021, 15:21 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2021, 11:56 AMKatitof That's pretty much how it was in 1st year and how KV-2 is now. It would be a bad idea for IS-2. In the first year the is-2 could bounce the ass aof a P4 at point blank which meant the low ROF was devistating. A mid way point between the current and KV-2 is about where I'd want it but as I said, it's not really necessary. Imo the is-2 sorta falls into the category with the 120mm mortar. Where it's supposed to be great but in practice it's a bit lackluster as it's neither accessible nor frankly much better than its alternatives. That said the is-2 is functional now and changes open up the unit to being... Not... So I'd sooner leave it as is from a balance perspective. It wouldn't hurt though to see it in at least 1 more commander somewhere... Or maybe a command Aura of sorts to make the 2 whole commanders with it a bit more attractive without screwing with its performance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Current state of the IS-21 Mar 2021, 11:14 AM I wouldn't mind a damage increase in exchange for a lower rof for flavor but I don't think any changes are necessary frankly In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IL-2 Bombing replaced by ADVANCED WARFARE STRAFE?1 Mar 2021, 05:14 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2021, 02:24 AMGrumpy But it isn't a little inconsistent, it's terribly inconsistent. I don't know why. I tried it at all kinds of angles, centered the targeting, offset the targeting both side to side and front to back and never got any sort of consistency. I didn't put a stop watch on it, but think it is at least 1 second slower than frag bombing from Ost. As I said, it SEEMS like it has scatter instead of a pattern. If this is the case then it's an easy fix. Regardless of HOW inconsistent it is, it needs to be fixed not swept under the rug For speed I only tested it against the ju87 AT strafe, which was the same speed. However since it's an AI strafe I suppose it should come in quicker in hindsight In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IL-2 Bombing replaced by ADVANCED WARFARE STRAFE?28 Feb 2021, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2021, 19:23 PMGrumpy Replace it with the incendiary arty strike from Shock Rifle. I tried the strafe about 20 times on cheat mod. About half of the time it did almost nothing. One time it wiped a squad. Several times it did about half health damage to a squad. Most of the time, it won't do enough to even force a retreat. It's also really slow. The incendiary isn't awesome, but at least it works consistently. this is an opportunity to fix something thats broken, id much sooner that and retain diversity than simply tack another meh ability in its place. it has to potential to be decent, it just need to be consistent and sped up a tad In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Winter 2021 Balance Patch - Discussion 28 Feb 2021, 05:29 AM something nobody seems to be talking about even though its big smoke- they adjusted the commander descriptions on the commanders they changed. i know this probably reads very sarcastically but dead seriously im very pleased that they had the thought to do that. small things like that add up and in a good 5-10 more years of support we might end up with a polished and balanced game here! (im serious though, that small detail made me really happy) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IL-2 Bombing replaced by ADVANCED WARFARE STRAFE?28 Feb 2021, 05:26 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2021, 04:57 AMEtherealDragon I did some testing as well. It looks like they did fix the UI so that the shots actually line up right. About half health if you hit a full health squad with it and some suppression. It also seems to be slower to come in than other similar strafe like CAS Strafe or USF Tac Support Strafe. Both of which do better jobs at suppressing and damage respectively. It's too slow to hit anything reliably as well unless your opponent isn't paying attention... IMO definitely needs a buff despite the fix. the shots hit within the target area, but where seems randomish. i didnt look at stats but the best way i can describe it is that it seems like each shot has scatter. speed wise it seemed about the same speed as the JU87 AT strafe. advanced warfare used to be my favorite commander for 1s waaaaaaaaaaaay back before the soviet tech rework, i recall the ability needing work even back then. would be nice to see it getting a tweak somehow.
