Thread: Delays in Mortars retreating17 Jul 2021, 18:43 PM From what I understand, this is because once the mortar begins its 2 second "wind-up" it has to go through the entire process of firing a shell. There's a 2 second "wind-up", the shell firing and then also a 2 second "wind-down". The entire process can easily take 5 full seconds or more to complete even after you press retreat. Easily enough time to get a grenade on the mortar team. You could argue that heavily reducing or removing these times and substantially increasing "reload" could make mortars too difficult to wipe since they can retreat. I'm sure there are ways to combat that problem though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to effectively use IGs?11 Jul 2021, 21:46 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2021, 20:43 PMGachiGasm So pretty much title. Its really pissing me off that no matter how I try I'm unable to effectively use IGs. I do great with soviet\wehr mortars, I understand the "shotgunning" use of UKF\USF mortars and that you really want to use them at close as possible. OKW IGs is a complete different story, when I use it it feels like it cant hit shit and its a MP dump, no matter with barrage or autofire, where mortars would have obliterate enemy IGs just totaly suck ass in my hands. While I usually see ppl being able to utilize it and deal good damage with it. Speaking mostly from a teamgame perpective. It's a tumor way of using them, but next to your schwer they're basically untouchable. Using barrage I find it pretty lackluster because of the smaller AoE and increased scatter for RoF. Autofire is better for chipping infantry. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: is kubel free mpahack to good?10 Jul 2021, 04:54 AM I think all light vehicles have been given excessive abilities to compensate for them falling off lategame. Things like the WC51 and scout cars. The kubel is no exception. It would be "more balanced" with increase LoS instead of the ability. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: LefH airburst shells are weird26 Jun 2021, 09:05 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2021, 18:09 PMLady Xenarra My limited testing has revealed that in the rare cases of keeping vet 1, the enemy either ignores it or just stays in the barrage zone with their blinded vehicles. The aim of VP/point defence is far better served by regular fire mode as you cannot retreat a dead squad, nor do dead models replace themselves for free. Scott also takes full damage from aimed shots. I’d honestly suggest vet 1 giving an improved AOE profile ala old CB damage profile but that would invite way too much screaming of OP I think. As it stands, there’s little reason to use airburst shells. I feel like any suggestion to buff arty currently would be met with screams of OP lol. But yes, this has been a problem with the mattress for years now. Why use WP rockets when the HE ones just kill your opponent. Now the same can be said for the LeFH In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Flame thrower26 Jun 2021, 08:59 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2021, 15:53 PMSander93 I think in vCoH they used to deal less damage to targets that were in water, but I'm not sure if they copied that over to CoH2. IIRC they do do half damage to units in water, not that'd really be an issue though unless you find yourself in the unlikely situation of fighting dual flamers with no other small arms. Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2021, 18:01 PMblvckdream That might be because your unit is sitting in a trench and the flamethrower can't aim downwards. It happens for trenches like the ones used for Rails and Metals and Alliance of Defiance. I experienced this the other day on rails when a player was spamming royal flamers at me when I was in the fuel trench. This should be looked at and fixed if possible. It's pretty shocking to see 4 flamers do absolutely nothing to a squad in a trench. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Bunkers21 Jun 2021, 08:05 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2021, 07:49 AMZeroZeroNi Not if this the complaint is this petty. If small changes are considered petty so things like the above don't happen, then full on petty is what we need. The exact same concept was given to the jackson and now the calliope in the armor department so p4s would not bounce on them. I suppose those changes were also petty when they were talked about. it's not a justification, it's an example of weird balancing logic. And bundle-nade IRL used blow off threads of tanks or derail trains they don't do that in game, I wonder if the 0 pop fighting position or the new 0 pop soviet bunker actually takes any decent damage from bundle-nade. Hey, so long as you give Grens the ability to upgrade 2 lmg 42's and a 5th since section get to do that then sure all fair as you said. Glad we're on the same page that things should be balanced axis to allies instead of 1 side having 50 armor bunkers and the other dying to StGs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bunkers21 Jun 2021, 05:55 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2021, 05:39 AMZeroZeroNi Yeah why is it that a 17 lbr can't be de-crewed have to be destroyed and has brace that just about negates all damage and can be repaired while brace has the same damage, pen, range as pak43 is non-doc and has +40% more hp???? oh right pak 43 shoot through walls I guess since that justify's it you can accept not being able to throw nades justifies it's higher armor. I didn't expect such a petty and thoughtless complaint from a MOD, shame on you. ??? I can't complain about things becasue I have a badge? Neither of those things justifies why they cost zero pop, not to mention the video showing a LGB which should AT THE VERY LEAST deal a pixel of HP to an enclosed bunker with 1 man. Grenades are intended to clear garrisons such as this IRL. Why not just give bren guns 90% moving DPS on sections since pfusi's get that on G43s. Alls fair right? In: COH2 Balance
