Thread: Why Soviets are OP14 Nov 2020, 15:11 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 03:56 AMPip Sure, but in DIRECT COMBAT accuracy and RA are still undeniably preferable. The healing and vision are certainly good, they're just not combat stats. But it's part of a big picture. Always having full health while not a direct combat Stat, directly impacts combat. It doesn't matter how good the RA is if the first shot from an enemy is going to drop a model and lower dps. I even think that moving the healing back to vet 3 would be enough to really help okws mid game and scaling, helping maintain pressure and get over the healing hump if they go mech. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IL-2 Anti Tank Rocket Run14 Nov 2020, 15:00 PM 76mm isn't bad. It's AI is great. It (and other armour) however would benifit from a much higher close pen so they are not useless against stronger tanks. Harder to use and generate risk, but not useless In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP14 Nov 2020, 02:28 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 02:02 AMPip Healing is alright, but isnt a combat statistic. The vision is similarly OK, but only defensively, given that it's an "in cover" bonus, and not as significant as other units vision-in-cover bonuses. If you're actually fighting other units RA or Accuracy is generally preferable. The healing is actually quite dope. While not, say... Quantifiable, it is a huge bonus to pressure and field presence. Less so against WFA because the AOE healing and forward retreats designed specifically to minimize the impact of retreating but against soviet its rather powerful in knowing unless the enemy squad headed back to base you will be full HP and they will not. Vision also has value in picking engagements or seeing what's coming a bit sooner to position support. Again not quantifiable but has as much value as a good commander can extract (which imo is the best kind of "extra" vet for OKW to have) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)14 Nov 2020, 02:25 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 00:47 AMgbem i think thats more of soviet being UP more than anything I don't believe the soviet are UP. the opposite actually, as they are extremely flexibile and have an ability for everything Id even argue, despite how my previous post read that in the current soviet faction the 7 man hoops are acceptable. I believe that bolster for brits however is both one of the best things the brits have and also one of the worst for balance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)14 Nov 2020, 00:13 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Nov 2020, 16:23 PMKatitof Bolster costs precious and very important fuel as well as half a squad worth of mp, meanwhile any other squad can just spend abundant muni. WELLLLLL soviet COULD pay like double that, to get in on 1 squad, which they then have to ALSO spend munitions to get AND it locks out their only weapon slot... iirc upgrading to additional models to all other factions that can has more drawbacks than just cost, like locking out other options cost alone does not justify a brokenly stupid mechanic/stats. KT is expensive as hell and it was nerfed to hell. whats more im unmovable that tommies are stupidly designed because of bolster. they will either be UP as 4 man and good as 5 or good as 4 and OP at 5 becuse bolster isnt an "if" but a "when" and "when" bolster is bought the powerspike is incredible and without drawback In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)11 Nov 2020, 15:03 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 14:33 PMGachiGasm Main design fail with bolster is that it has zero disadvantages what so ever. I mean, cons 7 men grade, which is awaible pretty much close to late game, while bolster just gives you plain permament one time unlocked boost. Plus bolster doesn't lock anything out. You can still double arm AND get Pyro or med kits. For cons 7 man is that or something else. No both. Bolster design I believe is the crux of Brit design as was mentioned before. As a result of its conless nature tommies are either good then OP or bad then good as 4 and 5 man respectively. It's either a massive power spike that makes em too strong or an unnecessary gate for tommies to be worth their price. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger OP AF10 Nov 2020, 15:22 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 14:12 PMSgt.BigHead Against Blobbing inf , simply can adjust a mechanic that punish blobbing units with debuff with target size or taking damage can calculate by proximity to units one to another... U don't need a click and delete unit any sort of , Combos or strategy should be lets u do that... My hope for coh 3 is that when units are in close proximity they gain a target size debuff scaling exponentially AND a dps output debuff (don't want to shoot your buddy in the back of the head at 26 people fire while running through craters under enemy fire while collectively taking up less space than a subcompact car) OR stop removing features/units/abilities that punish this kinda play.

Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses10 Nov 2020, 00:09 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 16:58 PMSgt.BigHead I prefer scuddle pak ability to, crew destroys the gun retreat the base then can rebuild pak cheaper kind of ability ( crew cannot cap points) to shooting over houses etc. With this alternative brace can keep vet crew alive but ofc it needs penetration shoot ability after spending mun anyway or will be utter useless without it.... I actually kinda like this idea. Sorta like a crew that "deploys" the gun at a cost and undeploys (scuttle) to move it In: COH2 Balance

But IF they need a buff, it could be a small durability buff to let them close in a bit better and better fulfill their role. Sprint could work similarly The commander with the Jaeger command squad provides sprint and g43s In: COH2 Balance
