Thread: Thoughts on OKWs Flak Half Track26 Aug 2019, 17:26 PM I think its major problems stems from: A: It must setup to fire, USF AAHT does not. B: A full burst from the cannon cannot kill the M3A1 scout car, which allows for PTRS penals to easily approach and AT satchel it. C: AEC counters it very well. There isn't any good spot for it vs all allied factions. Why buy a mediocre HT when the luchs is a real wiping threat and more duarble and can fire on the move. There just isn't a reason to buy a suppression platform when the MG34 doesn't require specific tech. Plus mechanized also has the puma, which counters all light vehicle play and even some medium tanks. Battlegroup is simply not good enough. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USA September patch discussion26 Aug 2019, 16:35 PM Any words on making HEAT barrage from pak howie a zero AoE but minimal scatter as to be effective vs stationary tanks? I'd like it to be more consistant and less RNG. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Sight flares vs Recon planes23 Aug 2019, 23:45 PM I think OKW has probably the most viable doctrine % of all factions. None of them are going to be Jaegar armor OP, but they're all viable (except maybe firestorm ). In: COH2 Balance

I consider the USF ATG one of the best in the game, perhaps only behind the Zis gun. I said the weaknesses of the USF ATG would not be nearly as apparent on the Axis side, because of comparably lower armor values for Allied tanks. This statement remains generally true no matter the anecdotal (and quite often doctrinal) Allied heavy tank you choose to bring up. Do you not agree that the USF ATG, without any extra pen rounds, would perform better on the Axis side than the Allied one? At t0? If so, why not? If you agree, on the other hand, tell me why you think the OKW needs it's AT capabilities buffed so signifigantly and so early on? It's true that the USF AT gun is better in axis hands than their own, it's also true that axis AT guns are better in allied hands than their own. It's stupid how your stolen AT gun is better than the one your faction gets, but it applies to both sides, which is why you always steal your opponets AT guns. OKW needs AT ability early because currently people think clowncar is ok. I'm not sure people would think the same if the OST 250 or OKW 221 were nondoc and running over USF because no snares. But for some reason it's ok when flamer engineers do it vs OKW. The fact of the matter is though that the raketen any way you slice it is a piece of cheese and terrible. It's literally the OKW maxim. it gets deathlooped on retreat, the model is garbage which prevents it from being fixed, and does not function in its role correctly. I'm sure most people would agree with getting a pak 40, even though the price would be higher, would be a lot better. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cloaked run speed23 Aug 2019, 23:11 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2019, 23:01 PMStug life Snipers We feel that the Sniper’s cloak ability is over performing, making them extremely difficult to counter with infantry. To address this issues we have made the following changes: When firing a shot or using an offensive ability when not camouflaged, the unit will be unable to become camouflaged for 10 seconds Snipers cannot cloak until out of combat for 3 seconds Tested it ingame. It takes about 7 seconds to go from shot -> cloak for the OST sniper EDIT: Ok so I did what the notes specifically said, and this is the difference: When shooting out of cover and then entering cover it takes 10 seconds to cloak. When shooting from incover and staying in that cover it takes 7 seconds to cloak. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion23 Aug 2019, 23:05 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2019, 23:00 PMMazianni Endgame tank comparable to Panther Doctrinal Doctrinal Endgame tank again and admittedly a bit too tanky tbh Doctrinal Etc The point remains that the vanilla values of the ATG are more than capable of tackling T-34s and much less so for a PzIV. doctrinal =/= isn't true. Any AT gun can tackle stock mediums well enough. The only one with subpar pen is the USF ATgun, which in trade gets the widest arc, best RoF, ability to boost pen to becoming the best penning AT gun, increase sight and range as well. So saying that USF AT gun is bad "vanilla" is like saying the pz4 MGs are dogshit because it's "vanilla". When in reality, people buy the MG upgrade which puts it on par with t34 MGs.

Thread: Cloaked run speed23 Aug 2019, 22:59 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2019, 21:50 PMStug life sniper need to wait 10 second before they can recloak after shooting.... Pretty sure this isn't true. UKF sniper used to not be able to get shots on the OST sniper because it took awhile to aim vs time to cloak. And although its aim time is currently pathetic, it most certainly isn't 10 seconds. In: COH2 Balance
