Thread: Capture Points 7 Apr 2016, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2016, 09:16 AMBananenheld It's created by Mr. Godlike miragfla, the 1 man army who is working 500% faster than whole lelic. Lul its pretty obvious to see tho that when you cant tell the difference between 2 weeks and 4 months some problems would likely come up when trying to pull a balance patch together In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Idea for Penals7 Apr 2016, 15:58 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2016, 10:06 AMMyself It has been suggested that penal become osttrupen type unit something soviets miss both in stock and in doctrinal and that some of the utility of Consc should be shared with them. So there are solution that do not overlap... . except that the soviet dont need MORE units that cant fight, they already have cons for that, cons who when vet up get absurd amounts of recc acc you will AGAIN rin into overlap because you have to chose "do i want the 6 man squad that never gets hit and cant shoot his rifle or do i take the 6 man squad who is cheap to reinforce and cant shoot his rifle?" and reducing the utility of cons just to make another unit more attractive will just make t1 mandatory and while it is a cheap tier its another unnecessary manpower cost what the soviet need is a unit that can make picking one of the many doctrines without call in infantry viable, not more cannon fodder In: COH2 Balance

Thread: So penal is underpowered? or others are overpowered?7 Apr 2016, 04:02 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2016, 15:23 PMsquippy Just as a word of caution; if you made them so effective that they represented a clear advantage over Cons, then one would expect the meta to shift so that T1 is standard and Cons never get built. This is especially likely if they get infantry AT. We should never be trying to make Penals so effective that they automatically overshadow Cons. At the moment the only real issue that exists with Penals is they are under-used. And that problem is not necessarily going to be solved by taking them a better unit to build in terms of effectiveness for cost. Frex, if Penals were both buffed and priced to the equivalent of Obers, you might well see more of them. Back-teching to T1 mid-game when you can afford to start fielding elite infantry might easily be seen as worth it. I'm not offering that as a serious suggestion, only pointing out that bufff/debuff is not really the issue at hand. so wait... they cant have a clear advantage over cons? then just delete them also if you dont have cons you dont have a snare, and good luck stopping a luchs (even a 222) with penals... also, why shouldn't a more expensive and tier locked unit overshadow the t0 utility knife in combat? why not make them preform like slightly worse guards that only have mosins? guards are the elite bad asses that get all the fancy toys right? dont let the penals have upgrades well tat in itself would be a worthwhile reason to still get guards, that and ignoring t1 wholesale you then have a solid long range unit that can shoot a target vs needing to stab them with their bayonet guards remain kick ass by coming with fancy guns like AT rifles and getting lmgs, or coming with fancy semi autos and smgs In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Idea for Penals7 Apr 2016, 03:47 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2016, 07:15 AMMyself The soviet design is dependence in call in units and that is why soviets have the widest variety of call in and some of the most cost efficient ones. and we know that once relic makes up their mind they dont change it! i dont know about you but I sure love filling my pop cap with nothing but heavy tanks! that is of course when im not building t1 then t4 for a quick katy supported by call in t34-85s also something something okw income something something usf will NOT ever have a heavy tank but yea we should probably stop discussion because relic designed them this way.... what was it 3 years ago? it sure is a good thing the game hasn't changed at all since then or the soviet design might seem a wee bit dated! additionally their call ins should be more efficient, or offer an alternative play style, they shouldn't be an excuse for a sub par stock line up, i mean the OKW have a f*cking king tiger in their line up....the russ just want something as a non doc alternative to cheese... Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2016, 07:15 AMMyself ..... see 222 pop Guards or Partisans, see HMG Spam pop a 120mm... unless of course you are trying to use one of those paid commanders that you have for the soviet that lack those because you forgot that you needed certain commanders to make up for crap core units because you were playing on of the other 4 factions who DONT need to be pigeon holed so they can build infantry that can shoot in a straight line... in the end no matter what they do to penals they WILL overlap with someone in the soviet rooster (heres that outdated design again) and currently they overlap with the worse and most accessible one... give them a pair of scoped SVTs maybe that improve their long range dps as suggested but make it reduce close DPS enough that sturms and pgrens will beat them adjust price accordingly In: COH2 Balance

Final tier tank destroyer that has the exact same pen as the AT gun you can build 30seconds into the match? The one that with vet completely and unfairly devastates medium armour but is nothing more than a lottery vs late gane armour (not even a guaranteed pen vs vetted/okw panzer 4s) there is a reason that the t70 provides better AT Support than a Luchs...

Thread: Idea for Penals6 Apr 2016, 02:58 AM Price of soviet units are never ever expected to say the same when made useful, for example when people say "I want the shit medium tank in my final tier to be worth building" they dont expect a panther for 80 fuel just that you shouldnt need 1/5 of your population in a single unit in order for it to be any use... Same with penals. Obviously they arnt up to snuff atm (you can tell by the overall lack of game time they see... Ever.) In: COH2 Balance

In the mean time, don't click move/reverse on the other side of the flag poles. Position your tanks with escape/attack routes adjacent the poles. the wehr sniper is already using the proper portrait when camoed there is no more important stuff than that, so now we can move on to cosmetics and EoL stuff like changing game mechanics and balance In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What do you think about balance in CoH25 Apr 2016, 05:27 AM i wouldn't say that any faction is really "OP" its more they have holes/underperforming/never used units/commanders and have cheese to combat that they need to buff crappy units so they can nerf cheese units so the meta wont be as stale In: COH2 Balance
