Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:53 PM i say if 70% crit 300 or above... 60% 280... 50% 250... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:50 PM ohh yeah forgot to mention that... they used to cost 300mp before the patch... go figure a 300 or above price doesnt sound too crazy for their improved performance now... -Must buy their sniper rifle for 45 munitions. Requires 1 truck to be deployed. -Squad cost from 300 to 250. -Reinforce from 37 to 31 -Reinforce time from 7.5 to 6 -Salvage ability now available; replaced by Thorough Salvage in Scavenge Doctrine. -Veterancy requirements from 660/1320/2240/3520/4400 to 520/1040/2080/3120/3970 -Camouflage is now available at Veterancy 0 -Now has First-Strike Bonuses; increases accuracy by 50% for 5 seconds. -JLI G43 Sniper Rifle light and heavy cover accuracy modifiers from 0.5 to 0.9. -JLI G43 Sniper Rifle garrison accuracy modifiers from 0.5 to 0.9 -Booby traps standardized to the Soviet version; see Soviet Booby Trap above. with those buffs 340 doesnt sound like a bad idea In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:48 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 19:41 PMthedarkarmadillo Snipers are guaranteed kills no matter anything and operate beyond the range of return fire so its less comparable. They need a screening force but that's more for Los than needing something to sofen the enemy up for them. An unsupported JLI is underwhelming but even an unsupported sniper operates as intended. It will always drop a model no matter what it is or what is around. 280 still is a bit too cheap for that though... they are several times combat efficiency of volks scripts etc and come packed with abilities like boobytrap sprint salvage while also having a vet 1 ability like snipers (medkits)... their inferior model sniping abilities is also vastly offset by the 4 man squad and the increased durability... plus its relatively easy for them to hit vet 5 by bleeding troops other OKW units cannot engage directly... if you maintain the 70% crit the price has to go above 280... 280 with a reduction to 60% crit as you suggested might be better for balance however...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 18:56 PMthedarkarmadillo Transform them into a light recon team. Camo, sprint, model snipe (what about something like the OST sniper vet round that gives a small stun? No aoe attack tho), maybe decap quicker? They could remain rather cheap if they are not such powerful force multipliers because as is a pair of JLI and a pair of volks is scarier than just 4 volks and is actually better on the munitions... Less powerful apart but devistating together. Personally I think a price up to 280 is a good start, that and lower the crit slightly, again start with something like 60% and see how those pair of nerfs make them feel. Small steps for fine tuning not sledgehammer nerfs to remove the unit from the game giving them the ability to snipe models obsoletes sov and brit snipers... it would be even more cancerous than it is right now tbh... id say just reduce their crit to I&R pathfinder levels... they have similar levels of utility and survivability anyways... thats assuming you want to retain the price... otherwise retain the crit and shoot the price up to sniper levels @340 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 19:11 PMthedarkarmadillo At 340 you are saying that that squad is individually worth more than a penal squad, than a Sturm squad that it is compatible with guards, shocks and Obers. That is simply not the case. They are over performing, but without another squad to screen or deal the damage to allow the crit they wouldn't hold up at all against those units and shouldn't be considered in the same bracket. They are powerful force multipliers but not a force of their own. Was you test invoking micro? Because should the penals be microed to focus fire the JLI those 12 models should be able to gun them down pretty quickly jli is a sniper squad... the purpose of the volks is a screening force to keep the penals from rushing the JLI in a similar way ost sov or brits use screening infantry for the sniper... but i get your point they need a screening force... but likewise snipers also cost 360 manpower for their performance... however critting much more powerfully than jagers do... by that logic snipers should get a cost reduction... as they dont hold up against obers or shocks and require screens just like JLI do...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 19:05 PMthedarkarmadillo 340 is too much. They are not worth that without support and don't deserve to be priced as such. 300 would be the ABSOLUTE most they could be priced at. And I feel that is even too much without actually receiving a buff, at which point they would need to be pushed back in timing... they took out 2x penals when paired with an accompanying volks squad... even at 340mp jager + volks STILL cost less than 2 penals... if the combo can bully 2x penals like that... then make the combo cost like 2x penals.. tested on cheatmods btw...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 18:27 PMTobis The snipe is the only thing they have going for them, otherwise they are grenadiers with more RA and a bunch of abilities that are split between ost commanders. Price to 280 mp Make the ambush bonus not work against retreating units Comparing them to obers is moronic. They are more equivalent to barred riflemen at 280 mp. Making them 280 mp leaves them effective without overnerfing them. with a 45 muni sniper however the crit is soo insanely powerful it can delete penal squads and IS relatively easily... as ive tested the sniper when paired with 1 volks can lay waste to 2x penals while the jagers didnt even lose a single man(!!!!).... 250mp + 250mp + 45 muni > 300mp + 300MP... therefore it is only logical to nerf the jagers to 340 mp or even more as 340 + 250 already = 590... which is still cheaper than 2 penals which by the way jagers exterminate In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 17:46 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 17:35 PMmortiferum No, what I am saying is with BAR or double BAR, the pathfinder can very rapidly bring a target to the snipe threshold at all ranges, while JLIs can't really do that, hence the 290 MP cost. It also is specifically made to complement the paratrooper doctrine, while the JLI is just an ordinary call-in with no special interaction with overwatch or salvage doctrine. JLI requires a nerf, but not the proposed "340 mp, 6CP". They perform like obersoldatens that come at 1cp... nerf them to proper 280mp squads or nerf the price and reinforce to obers standards...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price24 Dec 2018, 16:47 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 16:42 PMmortiferum US pathfinders can pick up BARs and become quite capable of bringing enemies to below the sniping threshold. What you are proposing is nerfing it into irrelevance, not "fixing" it. JLI would become irrelevant? Hardly... even with a nerf to 40% crit they still remain ridiculously strong due to their abilities that pathfinders dont have + 5 man squad In: COH2 Balance
