Vet 3 cons EHP: 735 (806/(1.087.6)) Vet 3 Grens EHP: 457 (804/(.091.77)) But it DOES help grens in the ranges that cons would otherwise beat them. The only reason cons even EVER beat them is because they simply outlast them In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panthers need adjustment16 Aug 2017, 16:58 PM Well...i dont think anybody could even begin to argue that arty cover was even halfway a balanced idea.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US anti-tank nade minimum range16 Aug 2017, 03:44 AM Is it maybe for the sake of the animation? I know that has no business affecting balance but it would look a bit squiffy kinda lobing straight up and what not wouldnt it? In: COH2 Balance

The way i see it cons become glorified AT nade throwers and capper by late game ANYWAY so making them gradually scale (not as well as with conventional vet, but not leaving them as oddly durable balls of suck they are now) gives them a sense of fodder. The feel that if you need them to they can buy victory with their lives. What would seperate the men from the boys so to speak would be deciding what is worth risking them for, you still bleed, you still need to replace them, but their infinite status of underwhelming is justified and enhances their flavour Otherwise cons will overlap with penals or guards or shocks, they cant be made into conventional mainlines without stepping on toes and making somwthing else as pointless as cons are.

Still would wipe infantry in cover, like sandbags or fences, which is what it's not supposed to do though, right? And also the AoE heals. Combined with an increased sound signature i dont think it would be that bad, as a matter of fact i would argue that leig smoke + goliath is going to be even worse as its not going to cost any fuel. But in the end of the day there is no way at all to not make the sturmtiger nuke lone squads without making it an unreliable POS (oh hello there B4 howitzer) Putting in these super heavy hitters is a mistake, but here they be. We just need to make them so using them on lone squads isnt an effecient use of them (i would even argue that using a ST on a single squad is more of a grudge move than a tactical move) Tying it to tech is really going to help, but i mean 160fu for a fuck you to lone squads is exploitable, with the increased cost for not teching it would be down right treasonous In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be balanced15 Aug 2017, 01:19 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2017, 00:53 AMAlceister What if Conscripts shared experience gains among themselves, or with other SU infantry units? That could be fun, i always thought giving shared vet to conscripts would be a neat vet 1 for shocks and guards-inspirational like , but just earning it themselves could be neat. The vet 3 would need toned down i think tho In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortars15 Aug 2017, 00:02 AM I think that auto fire should be made less lethal as a general rule, make it a support type thing vs a set and forget skirmish changer (or lemon) make barrage great again instead of attack ground. Its got a cooldown, make it worth using over other options In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff the Storm Tiger pls!!!14 Aug 2017, 23:58 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Aug 2017, 23:41 PMLoopDloop Wait doesn't that punish single squads even more and blobbing even less? Sorry if i wasnt clear, i mean reduce the OHK radius but increase the far AOE a fair bit, making it require a more direct hit on clumped infantry and not fully wiping naturally spaced infantry. The larger far (or maybe even mid) aoe would let the damage reach further meaning that even with the reduced OHK radius its still sending damage towards the target (vs the wipe or nothing thing we have now) it would be less effective vs lone squads by straight up being less lethal, but better vs blobs by hitting more of the blob. The biggest flaw however with this i think would be magic AOE heals In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff the Storm Tiger pls!!!14 Aug 2017, 21:44 PM Maybe a smaller lethal areas but a wider "damn that hurt" radius? Then only those outright nailed die but unless a squad is clumped behind cover they will make it out alive, if only barely. I think thats a direction all big boomers should go personally- wide damage,not wide wipe radius In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff the Storm Tiger pls!!!14 Aug 2017, 19:35 PM Swap engine sounds with the goliath so you can easily hear it coming perhaps? Its a really fun unit that punishes shit ass blobbers so like the demo charge i would hate to see it just another "oh shit ill just retreat to my FRP" bullshit In: COH2 Balance
