Thread: fallschirmjager units are too broken imo22 Jan 2020, 17:43 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2020, 17:40 PMT.R. Stormjäger Step 1: Keep a minesweeper in front of your LV to reveal any cloaked units Step 2: Stop spamming the forums with the same point day after day after day after day when it’s been shot down time and time again. You personally screaming at anyone who suggests changing Falls does not count as 'shot down'. Replying to a post mentioning me directly in a thread talking about Fallschirmjager is hardly spamming.

Thread: fallschirmjager units are too broken imo22 Jan 2020, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2020, 16:36 PMT.R. Stormjäger Edit: This is the last time I address it: Support Paratroopers, Commandos and Rangers have two routes: They can go anti infantry and dominate infantry with nothing they can do vs vehicles (well support paras have mines so not entirely the case) or focus on anti tank and wreck LVs alone or hunt mediums (or heavies if multiple 3ple zook rangers). Falls have 1 route, anti infantry. They are hard countered by vehicles and have a snare so that the T70/Stuart doesn’t drive up to range 1 and wreck them. In Lago’s mind this means they’re all the same, falls counter light vehicles and have no weakness. This couldn’t be further from the truth and the result of poor micro apparently, or lack of minesweeper escort on his LVs, leading to getting snared by camouflaged Falls. Falls do have a hard counter: medium armour. Giving a unit cloaking allows it to dictate the range it engages at, as it cannot be targeted while cloaked. Giving a unit higher CQC combat performance than the best nondoctrinal option in the opposing army necessitates attacking it at long range or with vehicles. Giving a unit a snare prevents light vehicles from closing within snare range. Put the three together, and you create a unit that cannot be attacked from long range if it doesn't choose to be, and which beats or snares any nondoctrinal unit short of a medium tank that attacks it at short range. These three abilities should not be combined on any unit. Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2020, 16:27 PMT.R. Stormjäger Support Paratroopers lay M6 mines. Haven’t seen you bitch about them. They can also pick up elite bazookas. Same with Commandos, camouflage, demo, double PIATs. Rangers can pick up triple elite bazookas. And in doing so, they sacrifice their anti-infantry firepower, allowing them to be hard-countered by dedicated anti-infantry squads. Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2020, 16:35 PMdistrofio I get you, but maybe devs wanted specifically that LV dont bully falls. Maybe meds and AI tanks An infantry squad that can only be hard-countered by medium tanks is fine if it shares timing with medium tanks. Falls arrive at CP2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: fallschirmjager units are too broken imo22 Jan 2020, 16:16 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2020, 05:04 AMdistrofio Removing the falls snares will end up in them being bullied by the shittiest yet abundant Light vehicles allied has. That's the point. That's how Obersoldaten, Paratroopers, Commandos, Shock Troops, Rangers and Jaeger Light Infantry are balanced. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson VS Puma22 Jan 2020, 11:03 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2020, 10:44 AMblvckdream Buffing Puma is a big no. Puma is already super strong as it is. We shouldn't look at Puma vs Jackson but more Puma vs AEC/Stuart/T70/Cromwell/Sherman/T34 etc. And in that role the Puma is awesome in the right hands. And surprisingly, multiple Pumas versus IS-2s. The Puma's big secret party trick is a hefty penetration spike at close range, which lets it punch far above its weight if it gets in close enough. The Puma has 160 penetration at point blank, which is more than the P4. Personally I'd add this feature to every vehicle, but failing that, I think the AEC at least should get it. UKF could really do with that sort of intermediate AT. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank balance overhaul22 Jan 2020, 10:41 AM There are a lot of interesting things you can do with tank balance, but they're the demense of mods now. With every patch being maybe the last, don't expect anything radical and risky from official updates. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: jackson armor nerf20 Jan 2020, 17:03 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jan 2020, 16:12 PMmons7erz How would you see it implemented? I mean, the Puma does a decent job at providing a check for the Jackson, meaning you will get punished if you over extend, especially if its vet 1? The way this thread suggests: lower the M36's armour. The Jackson's a long-running balance headache: reducing its strengths isn't really an option because USF relies so heavily on it, and increasing its cost just delays its timing. All that leaves is strengthening its weakness: its poor durability. Reducing its health makes it more vulnerable to the heavy vehicles it's designed to kill, whereas reducing its armour makes it more vulnerable to lights and mediums. It seems like a sensible approach to me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: jackson armor nerf20 Jan 2020, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2020, 23:46 PMHannibal It might the slight nerf that the Jackson could take without interfering with the rest of the balance. Decent idea. 5-10 armor nerf might actually be enough so that a P4 would hit very reliably. The only thing to watch out for is indeed the Puma since it could be a very easy and sacrifice to get a Jackson that might have already been hit. Especially with the smoke it could really cheese a Jackson kill if it penetrates too reliably. Is the Puma being a counter to the Jackson that bad an idea though? The Jackson is the only tank destroyer in a faction who's AT is otherwise all geared towards killing lights (low pen ATG, low pen bazookas, pathetic pen Stuart). If the Jackson needs a vehicular counter, what better vehicle than the one USF is best equipped to deal with without a Jackson? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: fallschirmjager units are too broken imo20 Jan 2020, 14:53 PM Falls just need to lose either the camo (entirely, no camo with vet) or the snare. Either change makes them vulnerable to light vehicles which lets them get away with their high damage. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Echelon Grenades17 Jan 2020, 20:45 PM The problem with RET grenades is assymetric micro. A squad under fire from RET grenades requires constant attention to dodge them, whereas the RET squad itself requires none. That makes for a pretty unpleasant game experience. I see two good solutions to this that don't involve deleting RET grenades. The first is to make them detonate on impact so they can't be dodged, then balance their damage around that. Make them a mini-mortar. The second is to make the grenades manually targeted. That way, there's parity of micro: a click to shoot, a click to dodge. In: COH2 Balance
