Thread: Poll: Do you honestly think that blobs should be nerfed?20 Feb 2019, 14:43 PM CoH 1 had a mechanic called Group Zeal for the Panzer Elite faction: if you blobbed their infantry, they got individually stronger. They later added an inverted form of this mechanic to CoH 1 Pioneers: they got individually worse when grouped up. CoH 2 has the code for this: Radio Net is a bonus for grouping up Shermans. It's almost certainly possible to implement, the question is if it should be. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer MG/Early19 Feb 2019, 22:00 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2019, 21:57 PMdistrofio I am not assuming a thing here, but you do. I dont know how ""Impactful"" is to nerf HMG, im showing that its not the point OP wanted in the first place. I dont think assumptions should be made if we are talking about balance. Feels dont show reality, only a part of it. Given Ostheer's tech structure, a 280 MP MG42 is effectively a 20 MP reduction to Ostheer's starting manpower. That's not even a Grenadier model's worth. It'd be like making Conscripts cost 235 MP. You're changing so little it's really not worth it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer MG/Early19 Feb 2019, 21:55 PM Making the MG42 280 MP would change very little. OST builds rarely use more than two unless they're spam strats, so you're making a difference of a whole 40 manpower at most. You'll delay the first Grenadier squad slightly, but it really wouldn't be that impactful. The same goes for the Maxim: reducing its cost is a boon to Maxim Spam but makes little difference to normal builds that deploy one or two. The Maxim needs to be a better MG, not a cheaper one.

Thread: How is the game state for people right now?19 Feb 2019, 13:20 PM 1CP Pathfinders makes them incredibly awkward to put in builds: the early CP tracker isn't a consistent timer. The current cooldown based solution is much better for preventing easy Pathfinder spam. In: Lobby

Thread: Pack Howie Airdrop18 Feb 2019, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2019, 21:06 PMEtherealDragon I don't want Greyhound to counter 222 as hard as a Stuart would (Abilities + 80 damage). 60 (or even 50) Damage would place Greyhound on perfect ratio of Fuel to damage ratio for LV damage and would mean that it wouldn't sometimes get countered by a vehicle that costs half as much fuel and is a no-brainer counter. 50 Damage would mean that it would take 7 shots to kill a 222 and 8 to kill a Luches - making it extremely inefficient as a LV counter still. I ran a load of tests on the Greyhound a while ago: with its .50 cal upgrade it beats the 222 and fights fair with the Luchs. Given its a Luchs itself, that seems about right to me. The Greyhound without the .50 cal is utter trash, so just think of the unit as also costing the 70 odd MU you need, like Obers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pack Howie Airdrop18 Feb 2019, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2019, 19:41 PMOutsider_Sidaroth Stuart + Greyhound is a lot of fuel, but maybe it could work, I'll see if I can try it. It's like OKW's choice between Luchs or Luchs-Puma. The Puma slows down medium armor, but gives you an immediate vehicular AT response. Otherwise you're relying on handheld to support the Greyhound, which can work but isn't as safe a bet as a Stuart. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pack Howie Airdrop18 Feb 2019, 19:11 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2019, 18:33 PMEtherealDragon I've always enjoyed Pak Howie and it's nice to be able to use it in LT builds now. I'd feel better if they upped the Greyhound's AT damage back to 60 to facilitate Capt-less builds to make full use of the Howie drop. Now that AT gun isn't so available to the commander it's be more usable if Greyhound didn't struggle so hard vs. lowly 222s. That's what the Stuart's for. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Overwatch flare ability18 Feb 2019, 14:19 PM You could ditch it at this point: Jaegers provide sight. You wouldn't even need to refill the ability slot given its bundled with the Goliath. In: COH2 Gameplay

If lmg grens match double bar riflemen at range 20-25, you'd hear about grens being op all day all night on this forum just like the recent JLI rants. I'm done with you. You're beyond delusional. I ran the numbers and he's right: they cross over within that range.
