Thread: Sturmtiger over nerfed 22 Oct 2021, 08:06 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2021, 03:09 AMthedarkarmadillo Why does the okw Panther get 2 extra levels of vet but cost the se as the ost Panther? See also up armoured p4 and lefh and pak43 and any other overlap units I may be forgetting? Faction design is more than just flavor. It is also balance..Ostheer is unable to match the enemies in a battle of attrition (straight up, tommies are easier per head to replace than grens, despite the clear performance and scaling gaps) thusly Ostheer is better at controlling enemy infantry to reduce losses. The mg42 is absolutely the best mg in the game, but that isn't freely so. The itent of my post wasnt to complain about units being better for simaler cost. I agreed or at least thats what i wanted to show is that comparing unit cost across factions in a vacuum isent a viable comparison. I am not the most knowligable on okw but the okw p4 and panther cost more the the ost counterparts afaik or i missed the cost buffs to okw armour. Things being better and for the most part more expensive is also balance or flavor between axis factions. Other then that i am in full agrement with your post. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST sniper need nerf.20 Oct 2021, 17:21 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2021, 17:09 PMKlement Pikhtura With all those arguments, I'm still not convinced that OST sniper is better then SOV one. If anything SOV is generally more effective, especially in tandem with Penals. It also has a flare that can reveal cloaked units. So if any nerf should be done, it should be done to all, or at least both SOV and OST snipers. Counter snipe is kind of redundant ability. Pretty sure most counter sniping at higher levels is done manually. I wasent aware flares revael cloaked units. Is this specific to the sniper or a radius smaller the sight it gives? Because i used flares plenty of times from mortars and it hasent revealed stealth units ime. In: COH2 Balance

Allies have better tools to melt axis armour because axis armour is just better overall, esp stock tanks. Mostly allied doctrinal tanks are on par. If axis had better armour still and allies had the same level at tools as axis up onto mediums that is, that axis would waltz over allies like no tomorrow. Getting buffed and some compensating nerfs happens to allies in the same amount. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Why Brits Armor10 Oct 2021, 15:24 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2021, 14:51 PMDonnieChan crom vs infantry: run over and shoot -->crom win crom vs at gun: smoke, run in and shoot -->crom win crom vs panther: smoke, run out -->crom win same with comet Lol the panther can run over inf just fine and mow survivors down with 3 mg's. Instead of smoking the at gun the panther just parks point blank and mg's the models down. The cromwell cant even reliably pen the panther. And if you force the crom or comet to smoke the panther and have them retreat its a win gor the panther and not the other way around. In: COH2 Balance

Outside of ranting you havent contributed anything to fixing the problem. Let alone understand it yourself. You are in no position to tell others to go away. Its just 120mm op thus nerf. And leig etc weak. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF PATHFINDER really？2 Oct 2021, 17:29 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2021, 13:36 PMPip This is a Strawman, but if T1 with Sniper, Penal, and M3 play were a strategy that dominated at high levels then it would be arguably overpowered, yes. I dont see how it is a straw man. If some strat dominates even among top players it isent neccesarely op. Or standard openings or builds are as wel. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: JP4 performance2 Oct 2021, 11:15 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2021, 10:37 AMVipper And again you simply confirm my point, people who complain about that SU-76 complain about the gun and not about that fact that is has lower armor than Stug III. In sort the gun is more important than the armor for 60 range TD. Now in your opinion is that "ridiculous"? because if it is you are "posting ridiculous stuff". (and by the way SU-76 has 88% chance to penetrate a PzIV at max range so you might want to reconsider your definition of "crap") People dont talk about the lower armour of the su76 compared to the armour of the stug cuz the su76 has 10 more range and is 25 fuel cheaper. Also allied armour values with few exceptions are already lower and axis can mostly pen every stock alled vehicle with ease so people accept it and dont complain. The su76 can pen the ost p4 88% of the time. The vet 2 p4/okw p4 and Anything bigger and chance is 68% at best. Not that it is imbalanced or up but it still isent great pen for the late game. Just the su76 's timing just doesnt excist since the lv fase is tiny and the su76 provides what su dont need at that timing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF PATHFINDER really？2 Oct 2021, 08:59 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2021, 18:25 PMReverb So you think a bunch of completely randomized matches with all sorts of skill levels, the majority of which are far below what should be used as components to evaluate balance is a better way of determining balance issues, than a tournament of high skilled players effectively playing in controlled settings of multiple matches on the same map over and over and each team switching factions every match...? Interesting logic. In your logic soviet t1 sniper opening with m3 and penals are op now because its been proven to be very effective by some high level players. Yet it costs quite a bit of mp and micro/combined arms and map control early on. In: COH2 Gameplay
