Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)25 Nov 2020, 18:15 PM ALL mainline infantry need munitions to be effective late game. ALL OF THEM. Because ALL of the enemy squads are ALSO going to invest muni in theirs. Saying it needs to invest like the enemy does does not disqualify their supremacy. If having to invest munitions to fight enemy squads that also invested munitions means a squad isn't good then there is no single decent infantry in the game. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch24 Nov 2020, 11:41 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2020, 09:05 AMSupremeStefan What it need is less dmg and faster reload And less pen? Cause even with less damage the guarantee to frontally pen all allied stock armour with the exception of comet/church would be a bit much. Reliability always needs to come with a drawback.

Thread: Pershing blows - USF Heavy Cavalry22 Nov 2020, 20:35 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2020, 13:32 PMOswaldMosley Back to my original point. A Pershing is a heavy tank, it's supposed to have superior armor and a superior gun. It's doctrine exclusive, limited to one, and has a 230 fuel and 19population cost. A panther is a medium tank, that's only 185 fuel and can multiple fielded. It's absolute bullshit to me, that an Axis player can swoop in with a standard tank and kill the USF's only heavy tank. That's too powerful. The Panther should at the very least require the support of an AT gun or a stug, in the same way a comet can only beat a panther if it's supported by an AT gun. Also in regards to the Jackson, that was exactly my point when I said the only way a Jackson kills a Tiger is if the axis player has bad micro A PERSHING (not Jackson) IS a heavy tank. One on a faction designed around not having one. It's also backed by some of the best mainline infantry the game has to offer and the absolute best TD in the game by an incredibly ungodly margin. You are paying for a tank that can deflect AT in a faction that is not supposed to deflect AT. It could certainly do with a bit more bite but if it's ever in a scenario where the enemy CAN solo it with a Panther that's unequivocally on you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Bipolar Nature of Cav Rifles18 Nov 2020, 01:02 AM They are aggressive support for light vehicles the AT satchel let's them keep these vehicles safe and also allows them to scale. It also makes them unique. They don't need to be a boring clone when they can be something useful and unique In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP16 Nov 2020, 01:40 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2020, 15:14 PMWiderstreit Different doesn't mean, that they should get better versions than the origianl fractions. They have 6men + merge, in 3vs3+ that mean endless Vet3 units. That isn't fair and if you call that asymetric balancing, than please visit the psychologists. E.g. Osttruppen are balanced, the have quicker refesh, but for that they are easier to hit. They get a "better" version if they take it. I say "better" because if you recrew it with anything but cons you are overpaying to reinforce it and cons have an above average target size. Merge comes at lacking on field healing and ONLY having 3 buggy ladies that have to wank each and every man to get them into fighting shape- but sometimes a lad gets a little too into it and keeps the lass from moving on, assuming they don't get drawn to your allies to try and escape the soviet union.... Trade offs. Strengths and weaknesses. Easier to keep units on the field, but spend more time in base when forced off. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pershing blows - USF Heavy Cavalry15 Nov 2020, 02:29 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2020, 01:11 AMOswaldMosley A 185 fuel costing medium tank that can be spammed, being able to single handily destroy a heavy tank that costs 230 fuel is BS. Tank destroyers are meant to counter tanks, should a single Jackson be able to destroy a tiger now? A single Jackson CAN kill a tiger. The issue with the Jackson isn't its firepower its the firepower combined with the mobility combined with the HVAP combined with the crew combined with the range combined with the standard health. The Panther IS. A tank destroyer, just in a different package. It lacks range but instead has durabilitym compared to other TDs. It also gains some AI in exchange for increased price. If the Panther is not supposed to kill the Pershing, what pray tell is ost supposed to use? Or are they expected to simply surrender when the Pershing hits the field? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)14 Nov 2020, 15:48 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 03:25 AMgbem the main problem with sov is that their utility and versatility is locked through unecessarily high costs... take conscripts they have comparable combat ability to volks or grens but you need to buy molotov and AT nades separately... in contrast rifles and IS smash grens and volks outright in terms of combat ability hence dont need nades and whatnot to come for free... Cons ARE cheaper than volks now so the match up is a bit better and cons are the only unit plagued with side grades that inflate their price, the rest of the soviet generally pays for utility with slightly inferior stats rather than extra costs. The power of versatility, even with extra cost is the flexibility it offers to react. This alone makes soviet very powerful and imo far from UP. some aspects are imo not up to snuff and id like to see the T70 weakened and the surrounding time frame buffed a bit so the entire mid game isn't reliant on it but for the most part the soviet are pretty great tbh In: COH2 Balance
