Thread: Why Soviets are OP26 Sep 2020, 14:26 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2020, 09:50 AMVipper If one want to redesign Soviet without commanders one has to actually bring Soviet commander inline with other factions and removed and tone down most doctrinal units. Currently Soviet have a plethora of doctrinal units and many of them are above the doctrinal units of other factions. Yes that's fine. The name of the game is balance and you cant have balance while you have to have certain units from certain commanders to make the faction work. Especially when you can only load 3 and pick one of those 3. If a faction REQUIRES a doctrinal unit to function it shouldn't be doctrinal. The soviet are the least reliant on commanders they have ever been so there is hope for this direction of balance, toning down the T70 in favor of making 7 man hit sooner (and thus improving soviet mid infantry game of all sorts) might be all it takes. As for commanders, once the core is strong they can be rebalanced- problem combinations not withstanding like recon+bomb not withstanding of course In: COH2 Balance

Keep in mind that cons have minimum 1 model not being targeted this will more than make up for the target size difference. CE drop like flies as they lack the soviet trademark infantry durability (which is fine since they are cheap as hell) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP26 Sep 2020, 09:37 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2020, 08:21 AMGiaA The whole "T70 carries soviets" meme only applies to Osttruppen anyways. Doctrine abilities exist. They are part of the game. You can't balance around a doctrineless game. You absolutely can and should balance primarily around a doctrine less game because doctrines are extras. You certainly can't balance well when you have 100*different variables and combinations to take into account with the primary balance if the core is balanced then you can isolate problem ubits/abilities and change them without nuking the faction. Look at the old spec ops with the call in cpanther. They were afraid to nerf the Panther because the faction would fall apart. Fuck the other 5 commanders right? Remove commanders from play and see what the factions need to be viable without then and it doesn't matter what you do to the commanders as the faction is still usable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied INF Team Games26 Sep 2020, 08:43 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2020, 04:28 AMSerrith Combat engineers are the most pop and cost efficient engineer in the game. Their combat stats allow them to be an actual stand in for conscripts if you have a way of getting supplemental AT in lieu of AT grenade cons. I wouldn't call them OP, but they are very very good for their price. Some might say too good. Pios are not comparable in terms of price to performance. RE(USF) come close but suffer from redundancy due to vehicle crews. As has already been said, CE are not a stand in for cons because they have only 2/3 the health and get none of the durability bonuses cons get meaning while you can have more they are significantly easier to push off. They are pop effecient I'll give you that but that's entirely because they are as bare bones as an engineer gets. That's their thing. They are cheap. Them and the t34 are the only remaining units that are cheaper than their counterparts In: COH2 Balance

Unless you're defending that thing I don't know what to say. You're absolutely correct then? For an extra 240mp they can be merged into, that much is correct. It already costs an extra 240mp it doesn't need another 20-30 on top of it. Compared to ost pios CE are appropriately priced. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied INF Team Games25 Sep 2020, 23:32 PM I can't think of any other engineer squad that needs an extra 240mp unit to be built to have a fleshed out list of bonuses.... CE are absolutely fine when compared to ost pios so unless we decide that all the things that CE can do plus healing units plus super mines plus recon plus bunkers is wicked strong and in need of a cost increase benifiting from cons and having demos that hellen Keller can spot and call out are fine at their price point.

Thread: Allied INF Team Games25 Sep 2020, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2020, 09:35 AMullumulu give okw a t0 smoke option. like USF got since devs realize their play is shutdown by mg spam ...and oh wonder its the same for OKW. I actually agree with this (the giving okw smoke) personally if have it on sturms along with the flame nade so that they are guaranteed access but limited. Once teching happens of course bghq has the leig for smoke and t2 stuka makes mgs obsolete and the luchs does well enough (tbh I think it could use a wee bump in power tho) so saturation isn't an issue at that stage.

Thread: Allied INF Team Games24 Sep 2020, 23:36 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 22:11 PMAlphrum umm, seems like u guys have gone a bit all over the place with this one but no way in hell is a kubel a good counter to mg's lol, in fact its terrible. if its a 1v1, all the maxim has to do is turn, so either the kubel can stay and die or try and change position which doing so it stops firing , while the maxim crew continues to damage it. But i highly doubt anyone goes for a kubel to counter mgs. (maybe x2 kubels can work) As you have mentioned thedarkamillo, i do agree kubel has great capping power but no way in hell do i consider it to punch above its weight, its combat isn't as good as other mounted guns and has terrible scaling, I have no idea how that is considered punching above its weight. If the kubel is considered to punch above its weight, i wonder what does the make the WC51 Keep in mind the kuble costs only 210mp. It's quick to respond and doesn't bleed. I've done tests myself and itll actually beat all allied mainline infantry in a shoot out without cover (while not realistic scenario it does show that it's got some bite and again it only costs 210mp) For the maxim turning, all the kuble has to do is withdraw and rengage the flank, it has the vision to decide how/when to engage. What's more, if it's turning to face your kuble its not facing where it was stopping your sturms from walking it off the map. Its a tool like any. As for the wc51 I think we can all agree it's over performing, granted at the very least it's got a munitions cost and can't be turned into fuel if lost by its own army. In: COH2 Balance

And while I think his Kübel point is quite exaggerated, it's not absolutely wrong Hmm. Seems he did. I guess I own him an apology on that. However the rest imo stands. Flanking is extremely viable and the kuble punches above its weight in both combat (especially the lack of bleed) and capping power. In: COH2 Balance
