Thread: OKW NOW the LEAST OP faction25 May 2018, 14:01 PM I would like obers to come sooner so they can have a bit of time to shine before bobbed down but aside from that imo okw are decent at least. Volks aren't holding up to double armed WFA or guards isn't really a balance issue given the price match ups (the problem comes from the design of being better to start and being able to pay so they never catch up) but guards at least are 50% more expensive and require stationary to beat them so like.... That's fine. KT could use a small bump tho or rather allied tds need a slight reduction. Since the ass of the KT isn't higher than a medium tank any more it doesn't NEED to be taken frontally. It should require or at least promote flanking In: COH2 Balance

Like any non hammer/anvil allied stock vehicle. I think that it's still 3 hits from most Axis tanks, except Jagdtiger, which will kill it with 2 shots. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should lategame tanks vet a bit faster?24 May 2018, 02:20 AM It doesn't help either that some of the units first level of vet is super meh. Is-2 cap territory, Sturm tiger grenade thing, elefant TWP, kv2 cap territory, Churchill crew guns... All kinda meh really making it seem even longer before they get meaningful vet In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson Overperforming23 May 2018, 21:17 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 20:13 PMGI John 412 Yes, firefly and Jackson both can fight all types of vehicles because they are the USF and UKF sole TD that is non doctrinal. StuG is also the Whers only actual TD. The Panther is sort of a TD/Heavy tank/Medium tank hybrid. And yes, SU-76s can fight heavies in the late game in massed numbers, but they aren’t designed to do that. They should receive a slight penetration nerf in order to resolidify their role as a light/medium counter. The comparison is in theory what the units are supposed to do, not an example of how that theory is being implemented currently. Because, yeah, SU-76 is kinda OP and SU-85 is kinda meh. Lol Funny enough usf and UKF are also the only factions in the game that can turn LITERALLY any infantry they can field into an AT squad, and many of whom can are also 5 man squads or can be them.

Perhaps that can be changed tho. Make the AP better at tanks and worse at infantry to make the shells more of a choice In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson Overperforming23 May 2018, 08:20 AM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 08:05 AMEsxile Sherman problems is its survivability, not its DPS vs various targets. Knowing all infantry vs you can snare you make it irrelevant in almost all situations and I have been a fervent user of Sherman "spam" strat in 2vs2 till rank 50/30. There is nothing insentive to build a Sherman over a Jackson. Over-performance of Jackson is also due to you have to build it yes or yes, even more if you went Lieutenant first. Actually I'm using a lot Armor company so I can diversify my late game build. A M10 is enough vs medium and let me get faster Scott, then I can build a Jackson if needed. This is something I have say since long but Jackson can never be balanced since it has to fill two distinct roles and with other AT source in support. In comparaison UKF can always field Atgun or a AEC to support its Firefly, or simply to build mines to protect its flank. Sherman is more durable than most mediums because of its ability to self heal (I guess not durability but resilience maybe?) but all in all I don't disagree that every squad and it's dog having a snare is a bad design. They should be special not doled out to already versatile infantry. Tbh when I saw the health buff I suggested swapping the m10 and Jackson instead of making the Jackson omnipotent harbinger of all things armoured as true m10 is now a mini Jackson but as y I are saying the cheaper m10 offers more options in vehicle choice (and HVAP helps when the cats ret big) and the old Jackson feels more like a doctrinal unit being somewhat niche. Strong in the right hands but shouldn't br forced... But alas we instead got a doctrinal m10 and a non doc super m10. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson Overperforming23 May 2018, 07:10 AM Sherman has great pen on its AP shells iirc. Don't recall the numbers but isn't it 140 close and something like 120 far? That's pretty great and again, I'm going off memory here but the AP shells also have an AOE of 2 (VS the regular 2.5 of multi purpose shells) so you are not trading so much AI for pretty solid AT. It might be interesting to see what knocking that AOE down a bit and seeing what elevated pen would look like (say give it TD AOE but like +20 pen on all ranges) then the Sherman could be the medium killer OR infantry killer but falls off VS combined arms approaches.

Thread: Ostruppen having an MP40 upgrade23 May 2018, 06:34 AM Aren't ostroppen like 200mp? They shouldn't be a match up for Soviet elite squads nor even ppsh cons given that the upgrade is now the same cost as a bloody lmg given how the exact same price difference (40mp and 60mu) leaves grens absolutely helpless against Tommy's and rifles In: COH2 Balance
