Thread: Balance 2018 2vs213 Apr 2018, 03:26 AM @vipper id like that, would it be 4 IR stgs or 2 and 2? Also related to that, do you know if only the IR stg models have the bonuses against units un cover or of its a flat buff to the squad? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: panther should be slower (and re-evaluating medium speed)13 Apr 2018, 01:19 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2018, 23:34 PMLago If the enemy is spending their fuel on tank destroyers to fight your Panther then they're not spending that fuel on medium tanks. Medium tanks inflict manpower bleed. Tank destroyers don't. The issue is that certain factions dont need to rely on mediums to inflict bleed and instead can ball omnipotent infantry to do that freeinh up fuel to ensure the enemy cant use their mediums to do their job In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank destroyers should be less accurate12 Apr 2018, 04:18 AM Idk... Stug spam is the go to cancer for ost... Making them 60 range without the durability drawbacks the su76 has (which is annoying enough as it) would be beyond game breaking. Especially at t3. It would incentivise ignoring t4 even harder and spamming stugs even more In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank destroyers should be less accurate12 Apr 2018, 00:40 AM While in a 1v1 scenario a 200 damage gun makes no difference the name of the game is combined arms. Shreks for example deal 120 damage, so a shrek hit and a panther hit currently deal 280 damage, with a buff to 200 for the panther thr pair would deal 320, same as 2 proper AT gun shots. 2 hits of each would now be a kill on a medium whereas before it would require an extra hit from something. A panther and shreked pgren would be able to take on allied mediums fairly reliably. This scales upwards as well. Might take 6 shots to kill an IS-2 but that extra 40 damage adds up when other thinks shoot too In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Balance 2018 2vs211 Apr 2018, 18:33 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2018, 16:27 PMTheGentlemenTroll Id say dual brens is a bit OP. One bren is okay but 2 brens are ridiculous in cover. Make it one slot, give it the dps of the mg42 and itll be easier to balance against axis squads. The bar would be put in line if its long-range strength was toned down slightly at the same time you don't want to overnerf the Bar as it'll make the upgrade subpar. And Katitof is right about lmg rifles. Back in the day vet 3 Rifleman's Squads with double 30 cal were insanely strong at all ranges and unkillable with the RA vets. The only real squad that could compete with them were the broken Obersoldaten at the time. Bren cant have the same dps as the mg42 because the mg42 is so good to offset grens model count so they can keep dps up. Not only can tommies offset that with a small cost (for all infantry they build) they are also more durable to begin with but also get the same rec acc buff (-23%) a whole vet level sooner Thr problem with dual wields iis that it allows already superiour units to widen that gap to ungodly unmatchable levels. Double guns make fresh squads fight like vetted squads and vetted squads near undefeatable. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Balance 2018 2vs210 Apr 2018, 08:19 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2018, 06:23 AMKatitof I'd say they want limit to one weapon, which then would require to be buffed as DPS increase from BREN is nowhere near DPS increase from LMG42, same goes for STGs vs 1 BAR, which would lead to quicker model snipes, which would lead to more QQ threads. . Some might argue that double bren can afford to be weaker because brits can buff their durability by 25% on already elite RA leveled infantry so they can stick around to deal that reduced damage, some might also argue that that very same upgrade that makes them more durable comes with a 25% DPS increase allowing even unbrened tommies to be a potent force. All of course while bleeding less than grens and armed with the most effecient healing im the game bar none. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: re-evaluting the panther's range and HP10 Apr 2018, 05:13 AM Im 100% behind mgs being most tanks primary AI (it would help differentiate big boomers like the brumbar and sherman HE for example as well) Mgs are dps you can count on with clear counter play (cover) no need to worry about RNG saying them 6 models are going to gangbang eachother the 1 time that tank rolls a hit causing a wipe. Mgs being buffed across the board would also help axis factions deal with double armed allied troops in a way that RNG never will. Reliability is something both sides can account for plan around. Praying for a dice roll isnt. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance 2018 2vs210 Apr 2018, 04:59 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2018, 03:46 AMMittens The Jackson already got a pretty heavy handed nerf including a price increase.... Price imcrease means little when the buffs it received make it nearly unkillable. You can treat it like the other TDs (the ones with exploitable weaknesses) and sit it at 60 range and outrange most armour, or if you chose you can utilize the mobility it required to survive being squishy even tho it no longer is. Did you smash all the enemy armour? Cool hop out and releive your pop cap. Oh shit heavy armour? Load up HVAP and increase your damage output to supremely reliable levels. If its only drawback is cost its not really a drawback. In: COH2 Balance
