The DPS is lackluster compared to the DPS output of other light vehicles to the point that the unit has to constantly rely on the 28cm rocket barrage ability in order to be effective in combat. cant tell if trolling or not...

Thread: Let's talk pop cap19 Feb 2021, 21:25 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2021, 18:04 PMSerrith Popcap is fine. If the only concern is that you can't reach 0mp income worth of popcap then I dont see an issue-a solution might be to increase the mp upkeep to a full 2.5mp(or however much necessary) to pop so that you have zero income at 100 pop rather then rebalance all units around an increased pop max. Some units are balanced around taking up a certain amount of your maximum army potential most notable in heavy tanks. A tiger will take up 21% of your army potential while only allowing you to be in one place at a time. An su85 and an at grenade upgraded con squad will counter the tiger and be able to cap and be able to recrew weapons teams will costing fewer resources and only 1 more pop cap. This is fine because it rewards the player who has a better composition instead of the player who has the better units. All units and compositions have counters and thus there is no situation where a single army composition could max at 100 pop and be unbeatable. I dont like the idea of 100 pop meaning 0 mp income (if i read that right) as that means you wont be able to do...anything. reinforce, build caches, re-tech if you lose it (okw), bunkers, weapon racks ect...

Thread: MG34 is OP19 Feb 2021, 05:41 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2021, 14:29 PMPorygon Isn't MG34 the worst HMG in the game? . Doest deal a lot of damage, which is a problem for vetting up, but it's suppression is adequate, especially for its price In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Let's talk pop cap17 Feb 2021, 17:40 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2021, 09:23 AMMaximizer Maybe add that you can get above 100 pop, but since you need manpower to reinforce reduce manpower income about 75% when going above 100, so you have to have a haevily mechanized army and are not really able to rebuild losses until you reach lower pops (at least 70-80 to get actual manpower) but if you keep your stuff alive you will be able to boast a massive unit count, which u still have to micro well so not to lose a ton of units/models to keep it (up) that will ruin team games entirely and make them extremely one sided as one side will end up against vetted units AND increasing volumes of armour. the pop cap ensures that the numbers can only get so high and playing against 8 churchills or panthers a player just because you couldnt kill the damn things earlier does not sound like any fun at all In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback16 Feb 2021, 15:42 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2021, 03:16 AMSpoof Weird. Does it say that in the unit information? I swear I've never seen that before. The game is horrible at giving information to the players. I'd love to see a clean up patch that allows for some more polish. A symbol for units that get shared vet would be phenomenal at the very least In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk pop cap14 Feb 2021, 13:35 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2021, 13:10 PMporkloin Ah! How could I forget the deciding moment of WWII where Zhukov decided he had too many t-34s and began scuttling them to free up some of his pop-cap for more su-85s. It is all clear to me now. The war was not decided by allied forces fielding 5 tanks for every German tank, but because its still a game. in this game the average infantryman can take 4 2cm shots before calling it the pak43 can 2hk a t34, but the elefant takes 3 and cant shoot through buildings, the tiger has less range than both those 88s and less range than a panther 75, and also deals the same damage as a stub dick sherman to other tanks, the KT however manages to deal more damage than the tiger, but less than the elefant or pak43 USF can get of their tanks but nobody else can snipers can tank a literal rocket to the face IRL the zis as a field gun had a longer range than the LEFH arty ppshs, the most produced SMG of the war, isnt available stock but the centaur, of which there was like 100 is. the bofors can barrage, but not as far as a mortar you can sit in a molitov cocktail and be fine if you sprint too much the airforce cant drop bombs the ostwind 37mm can only hurt 2 guys in a squad at a time if you are standing behind a sandbag you can survive a grenade landing at your feet and it wont even stop you from shooting a 25 tonne tank ramming into a 700kg car will disable the tanks gun and destroy its engine, but the car can drive away afterward if you want to get upset about game mechanics not being realistic, pop cap is one of the least unrealistic ones to get mad at if you want to ground it in reality, im not sure there would be nearly as much give and take in a battle of like 500meteres and im certain they wouldnt gate what they give you based on how long you have held certain points of interests In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk pop cap14 Feb 2021, 13:18 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2021, 12:49 PMporkloin It doesn't encourage balanced compositions though. It encourages min-maxing as many resources as you can into 100 pop. If I'm short a few pop to buy my heavy tank is this mechanic rewarding me for a "balanced" composition, or is it encouraging me to sacrifice some of my balancing units to make space for the heavy tank? Upkeep mechanics do favor balanced compositions however. there isnt a whack of min maxing in the game though. you need to strike a balance of what your army can do or go all in on some sort of strat and hope the enemy doesnt counter it (i guess thats kinda min/maxing in a sense) i do think heavy tanks take too much pop cap, but in the end they are high impact units and pop cap allows them to be counterable and prevents snowballing. something like okw would need a complete overhaul if you got rid of pop cap since they really have the best of most things and are limited by how many of those things they can have at a time.

Thread: Let's talk pop cap14 Feb 2021, 12:39 PM Pop cap isn't a "fun" mechanic it's a balance mechanic. It forces (or tries to) push for a balanced army composition, much like hard caps on heavy tanks to. Otherwise people would just spam the piss out of elite units that are not designed to be spammed.. Pop cap ain't glamorous but it serves a purpose In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will the Jager Command Squads 5*80 also be changed14 Feb 2021, 12:37 PM I think it's more or less OK due to being a one off squad. But worst case it could have a weapon change on one off elite officer type unit instead of an upgrade for core infantry. Think of it more like how paras can get 2 m1919s even though rifles can only carry 1. Not a perfect example but elite units sort of push the boundaries. In: COH2 Balance
