You must be talking about AT partisans as that's the only Shrek slinging unit the OST will face (unless of course they drop one themselves) in which case... What's your point? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Valentine tank popcap10 Jul 2018, 22:07 PM I'd rather have the Val function as a tank for its cost and have IR a bonus than pay that much for IR and have an emergency confetti cannon strapped to it for giggles In: COH2 Balance

Thread: King Tiger balance fix: smoke launchers10 Jul 2018, 22:04 PM Yuuuup! usf has more smoke per capita than any other faction. Hell in surprised they didn't just give the Jackson smoke instead of turning it into a no weakness TD like they did, would have at least been in line with faction design... Even the brit have a fair amount of smoke, a bit expensive for some of it but loooots of smoke there too! OKW had the puma (much smoke. Eek) or vet poison smoke on Obers. Now they finally have the leig. Ost and Soviet have a whooping 1 non dog option for smoke... In: COH2 Balance

If you let it eat four to five volleys (assuming you get suprememly unlucky with rng from atgs or TDs then you’ve messed up. Most tanks also can’t take that much damage. most tanks are not that slow either. coupled with pathing it might not necessarily be your fault that it sits in danger. ive had units die because an allied squad was moving up and neither one could decide who had the right of way so the tank just wiggled in place while the infantry got upset that the squad formation was disrupted and started running laps around the back of the tank causing it to wiggle causing their pathfinding to restart.... terribly messy business...

Thread: How about we not have any T0 MG?7 Jul 2018, 23:05 PM i fail to see how grenades are a hoop. they also unlock smoke on 4 separate squads of whom 3 you will have received for free just by getting to tanks (starting RE, lieu/ Cap, major) and then grenades on all your rifles. its a choice, should YOU CHOSE not to get them. you dont get to twist other armies because you refuse to use the tools given to you. the only flaw lies between your chair and keyboard In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit tank scatter7 Jul 2018, 22:55 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2018, 16:47 PMFiresparks the pershing have one of the best AOE in the game. The comet 's AOE were never anywhere close. And really the comet is the allies's counter part to the panther tank. I stated my suggestion for the cromwell in the thread I linked, but I will post a short summary here: cromwell: reload time to 5.5-5.1 seconds (5.3 avg) size to 20 penetration to 90/100/120 vet2 reload bonus replaced with .85 received accuracy (size to 17) and for the comet: pop to 16 reload time to 5.9-5.5 seconds (5.7 avg) .90 reload speed for vet 2 1.30 penetration buff for vet 3 the comet WAS a a no limit pershing. it didnt have the AOE but it was supremely accurate, even on the move, could melt infantry/ team weapons (AT GUNS) from a mile away, had the same durability, was faster, had cost free blitz and the commander which was over performing.... it WAS broken, thats what i was referring to. its relic. is there a single unit that didnt design poorly and then nerf out of the game to rot for at least a year in patch cycles? hell, it BARLEY lost to a panther despite its better AI in the gun and utility and what not. imo they could easily undo most of the nerfs it received and limit to 1 on the field at a time (same for the churchill) as the unit itself wasnt problematic, it was the level of critical mass it could atain. it was panther spam without the drawbacks of the AT centred panther... although i dont like your proposals. i wish they would overhaul target siizes entirely tho to make different ones more meaningful In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Valentine tank popcap7 Jul 2018, 16:44 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2018, 09:25 AMVipper Pop should go, the CP also. On the other hand the Radar should become an upgrade and limit to 1. swap the recon and the victor target. a vet ability shouldnt require other units, plus...like.... it never gets used in combat so as it is now they could remove all its vet and nothing would change... it should be a light tank first and fall back to recon, not over priced map hacks In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit tank scatter7 Jul 2018, 16:35 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2018, 16:33 PMFiresparks the main gun on the comet and cromwell actually have identical scatter as the panzer 4, but the panzer 4 also have better reload speed and mg as well. Related: https://www.coh2.org/topic/80056/the-cromwell-need-buffs/page/2#post_id687045 the average reload time of the comet is 6.15 seconds, with identical AOE and scatter to the cromwell. well they should have know that adding a non doc pershing with no limit they would end up over nerfing the tits out of it.... changing vet seems like a good direction for the brit tanks tho aside- as long as tommys have so much potential i am cautious of bringing the cromwell up to AI "standards" for profile, even if that is a logical direction In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?7 Jul 2018, 16:28 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2018, 14:09 PMCODGUY I did. My win rate is a good deal better with OST Heer than it is with any other faction. Grens are a bit more vulnerable to stuff like mortars and light vehicles because of their 4 man sqauds but in infantry vs infantry combat they do excellent against Riflemen and Infantry Sections. gotta play more than 10 games t be placed against enemies of your skill level. grens are far harder to use than either tommys or rifles because they are less durable, even tommys are as durable as panzergrens and can get 5 men ontop of that. low durability means you need to pay more attention to them which impacts everything. another problem is the AWFUL design of weapon racks. every single tommy/rifle can arm 2 guns ontop of being 5 men. they dont have the raw power of the mg42 but 5 men shooting at 4 men more than make up for it.
