Thread: Comet armor and abilities4 Sep 2020, 06:12 AM I'd sooner comet and church be one off tanks and be balanced as such instead of this odd hybrid of normal unit you can have many of and balance considerations specifically to ensure that doesn't happen... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Experimental Modding for reworked USF and OST4 Sep 2020, 06:09 AM 25mu to kit out grens and 25% more health and targets? Cons requiring nearly 3x as much for just the extra model not including the hundreds of MP mad smudge of fuel for side grade and armful of both for teching cries for revolution in the corner...

Thread: Sander's personal balance changes4 Sep 2020, 06:06 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2020, 05:42 AMSpoof Why change the Spec Ops flares? I get that they're uncounterable, but so are the British border flares. Does Spec Ops really need to lose the flares? Brit ones are less flexible, more expensive and more Likley to be noticed (because they cover more area so higher chance of a flare catching your eye). Unconterable anything is bad, but at least the Brit one has more drawbacks. Okw one costs the exact same as a recon plane with all the flexibility and none of the drawbacks. That's why it gets more heat. As for my opinion on the new notes, over all it looks great BUT perhaps EFA pios could get a flamer and sweeper as they would be the only ones that a sweeper is definitive since ukf and usf can sweeper and get rack upgrades. Also with the lowered cost of BGHQ.... that a whole lot of okw power spike coming alpt sooner than anyone else.... The abilities gated by having a truck at that point should just be intrinsic to their place and be balanced according instead of such a low bar. Also the delay in usf snare seems unnecessary. I get its ALSO an accessibility buff at the same time, but I feel it should be combined. Perhaps--when building is met snares unlocked OR vet 1 unlocks snares but when both are met - 5mu or something? In: COH2 Balance

They can do small amounts of damage that can add up but to utilise their ptrs rifles they have to be stationary/in the area for a long time. Making them easy pray for any enemy with rocket arty. Most MP AT is vulnerable to rocket arty.... That's what rocket arty is for. They are defensive and are vulnerable to the same things defensive units are. Late game they protect your other harder hitting AT. plinking away and stopping your case mate TDs from getting circle strafed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lend Lease Assault Regiment More Proper Setup2 Sep 2020, 02:43 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2020, 02:23 AMLoopDloop I mean sure but the point I was making still stands. Pfusies are a straight upgrade over volks in every way except certain types of utility. But they ARE more expensive and still don't COMPLETELY overlap. Cromwell and Sherman are the same price, but Sherman is flat out better and can do everything the cromwell can, including smoke without even requiring vet. SOME reason to pick a unit over another is better than none whatsoever. But you have a point in that the fussie/volk dynamic might need more attention. In: COH2 Balance

Pzgrens are absolute AT beasts, hence why the change is more polarising. AT penals are defensive and far from useless late game. They make it so the enemy will not dive you. Plus they have low but steady AT DPS due to deflection damage. They have different roles but neither should retain their capacity to fight infantry, certainly not elite infantry, when upgraded into AT In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of OKW in the meta 1 Sep 2020, 19:35 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2020, 19:31 PMVipper If one wanted to fix it one should start by following the PF design and have them start without SVTs and having to choose between SVT or PTRS. I agree with that design philosophy regardless of the current discussion. great AI into easy AT is poor design. At least pgrens have to think long and hard about it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lend Lease Assault Regiment More Proper Setup1 Sep 2020, 19:33 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2020, 19:03 PMLoopDloop IDK pfusies are kind of just an upgrade past the first couple engagements over volks. Even then though you have some reason to build volks as they can build and burn cover as well as being cheaper. They are overshadowed for sure, but not completely replacable. But even at that id argue that there's a bit too much overlap To the point: If you had an m4 and a cromwell available at the exact same time for the same price would you ever build a cromwell?

Thread: State of OKW in the meta 1 Sep 2020, 19:24 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2020, 17:59 PMelchino7 The original statement started with red cover while the test were done in neutral cover. OK so I'm not crazy. I'm glad I didn't pull neg cover out of my ass. Obers losing to ptrs penals in neg cover I don't particularly see an issue with for the reasons I was arguing but in neutral they shouldn't be pulling wins. Not sure how to fix that though to be honest. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lend Lease Assault Regiment More Proper Setup1 Sep 2020, 17:04 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2020, 16:26 PMCODGUY Then the logical alternative would be to allow the dozer upgrade for the M4A3 or add the 76mm Sherman instead. That being said I don't see how the M4A3 is the samething as the Cromwell. The M4A3 has the AP/HE shells, a .50 cal, seems like a much better tank. Doctrinal units shouldn't be straight up better replacements. That's shitty design. The Sherman and cromwell are quite alike but the Sherman is frankly better because of the reasons you mentioned. This is OK being in another faction due to faction differences but slapping it in where it would straight up replace and make a core unit obsolete is undesirable. There is no instance in the game where a doctrinal unit is a straight up by every metric better version of the core unit for the same price. All tanks either offer something different or a different cost/performance ratio. All infantry either fills a different role or if they fill a similar role they do so with trade offs. The Sherman would be a flat out better cromwell where now the m10 offers an alternative to what some call a Brit issue, a slow, expensive TD. it's not flashy but it's a GOOD design. A Sherman would not be. In: COH2 Balance
