Thread: MG42 over performing 10 Nov 2020, 23:14 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 09:14 AMSander93 Accuracy has no effect on suppression. Vet 3 Rangers (lowest target size in the game) get suppressed just as fast as vet 0 Conscripts. i think it does... at least if the target is obscured by terrain or in yellow/heavy cover as ive observed in my tests... in which case the MG42 is superior for simply being more reliable against units in cratered out terrain or in sandbags... both valid targets... lastly +0.12 suppression represents a 10% increase in suppression... plus theres the damage per shot of 3 vs 4 for the mg42... that is well worth a 4% price increase...

Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)10 Nov 2020, 21:43 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 21:37 PMGiaA Symmetry has nothing to do with an "advantage". Symmetrical balance just means the factions are similarly designed. So for example both factions have snipers, a T0 MG, T3 with Medium, AA, Tank destroyer etc. etc. id say OST shares similarity with SOV in that case... both have T0 engineers flamethrowers machineguns snipers mortars AT guns halftracks scout cars semi elite infantry with AT upgrades mediums and rocket artillery... the "entirely different" roles between the two rosters are 1. premium medium vs heavy tank destroyer 2. medium tank destroyer vs light tank destroyer 3. anti infantry light tank vs anti infantry heavy tank ohh and they also have to build tech buildings... the rest just convert which leaves their engineers free to do other stuff now if you meant gameplay and how the faction actually plays then yeah OST kinda has the similar defensive playstyle that UKF favors... just with a very different roster...

Stormjäger I'd nerf section enfields a bit (probs aim time), buff BRENs a bit and make them 50-60munis depending on buff, nerf section medkits a bit (rate of healing would be good), give sections snares (sappers can keep theirs too), take away trenches and give them to Sappers, nerf Comet's AoE and scatter a bit, make Cromwell 300mp 90-95 fuel, buff FF, Centaur and Churchill. Faction would probably be more straightforward and less frustrating this way. Currently most people can't play Brits properly and suck, while a few truly know what they're doing and can be extremely frustrating to face. Brits play like no other faction, which is why most people hate them. +1... brits are hated because they are difficult to play but also difficult to counter due to their extremely assymetric design...

Thread: MG42 over performing 10 Nov 2020, 07:52 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 06:59 AMSander93 It doesn't. Base suppression per second is calculated by ROF x suppression per bullet with the suppression threshold being 0.2. There are some factors that may influence this besides cover, but nobody really knows how that works. Presumably those are the same for all HMGs anyway. do missed shots contribute to suppression?... ie if i mod a unit to have 0 accuracy and X suppression do they still suppress in Y time? Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 06:59 AMSander93 It doesn't. Suppression max far range against neutral cover is 1.16s for the HMG 42 and 1.28s for the HMG 34. Barely a noticeable difference. not sure if thats the case though... one can dip an engie into and out of MG34 cone without being suppressed... cant say the same for the 42.... in any case the claims of setup time and the tracking bug is still incorrect... the mg42 and 34 are identical here...

Thread: MG42 over performing 10 Nov 2020, 03:33 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 01:35 AMSpoof 90% sure MG34 sets up faster than the 42. they both take 3 seconds to setup Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 01:35 AMSpoof When I speak of buggy performance I'm referring to the 42's traverse time they have the same traverse speed Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 01:35 AMSpoof and how the MG sometimes sets up when you don't want it to (which I experience a lot more on the 42 than the 34). this is confirmation bias most likely... they have the same setup time packup time and formation... Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 01:35 AMSpoof Also, no need to doubt my preferences. I WILL take a T0 MG34 over a T0 MG42. well its your preference... but do know that objectively the MG34 has only 2 advantages... thats the 10mp discount and a 2 second build time difference... everything else is irrefutable In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG42 over performing 9 Nov 2020, 23:33 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 21:04 PMSpoof If both MG42 and MG34 were available at T0 I would take MG34 any day. (x) to doubt Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 21:04 PMSpoof The faster (?) build time and set up time along with setup time is 3 seconds for all these MGs including the maxim Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 21:04 PMSpoof generally less buggy performance there is no gameplay affecting MG bug aside from the deathloop... the tracking snap is a graphic glitch shared by the 42 and 43 Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 21:04 PMSpoof is much better than the not-really necessary increased suppression and DPS. It's also a lot less devastating to lose an MG34 than it is to lose an MG42. is suppression affected by accuracy? because if it is then MG34 suppression is abysmal at far in contrast to MG42 suppression... 0.35 vs 0.28 is significant... and it kinda shows... the MG42 suppresses alot faster than the MG34 at far... its possible to dip into then out of MG34 fire without being suppressed... the MG42 will suppress you on contact however... Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 21:04 PMSpoof Of course, this is not to say either MG needs buffs or nerfs. They're both fine, learn to play against the MG42. yeah the maxim is the one most in need for a buff... though the MG34 could use some adjustment aswell In: COH2 Balance
Thread: stuka zu fuss needs more RNG in it9 Nov 2020, 22:45 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 21:31 PMadamírcz Not sure about introducing more RNG to it What´s worse, gettin wiped cause he clicked on your unit or gettin wiped cause he clicked at somethin 50 meters away from it and got lucky my main problem is that team weapons generally cant escape the stuka in time... if the stuka didnt mean instant death for say a machinegun id say it would be acceptable...
