Thread: OKW Command Tiger Ability underpowered11 Jul 2021, 07:48 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2021, 16:56 PMMMX this pretty much. reaching vet 3 with the cmnd panther already feels like an eternity and i have rarely ever seen one getting to 5 stars. sure, the buffs it provides at vet 3 and onwards look great on paper, but getting there is an arduous task to say the least. afaik the aura was recently changed to affect vehicles only, so it shouldn't affect the rak. That's true for a vet 5 Command Panther, but you can easily get a vet 2 one. And even with vet 2, the Cmd Panther aura seems way sronger. I personally liked the idea of buffing vehicles AND infantry with Tiger Command ability. This would have differed from the Cmd Panther Aura and justified the price and low aura range. In the current state, IMO its almost useless, just because its range (35/40) is way too short to synergize with other vehicles, especially in 2v2 with a mate. What aura ranges does Cmd Panzer 4 and british cmd vehicle have? Maybe equalising it would help a lot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Command Tiger Ability underpowered10 Jul 2021, 14:08 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2021, 10:29 AMGeblobt The command panther has worse veterancy compared to the standard panther. On top of it the command panther doesnt benefit from the aura (as far as i know). In the end its a worse panther with mark target, that buffs other units. On the other side is the command tiger more or less the same as the default tiger from Ost. And it doesnt get debuffed from the ability anymore. So you have a full working tiger with a nice aoe buff ability. Its probably a little underwhelming, but its still nice to have and the current state is better than the thing being owerpowered. The Command Tiger itself neither benefits from its ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Command Tiger Ability underpowered10 Jul 2021, 07:34 AM Hey guys, I wonder why the Command Tiger ability seems so underpowered compared to Command Panther aura. This thread has nothing to do with Axis/Allies OP plz nerf/buff OMG.... It's just a comparison between 2 abilities of the same fraction. Command Panther Aura: - passive - range 80 - for free Bonuses: - +15 sight range - +10% speed - +20% ac/de- celeration (with Vet 1) Veterancy 2: additional +20% accuracy. Veterancy 3: additional +20% reload speed. Veterancy 4: additional +5 weapon range. Veterancy 5: spread aura on infantry Command Tiger Aura ability: - active - range 35 (40 with Vet 2) - 35 ammo Bonuses: - +20% reload speed - -20% received accuracy - +20% accuracy So in conclusion, the Command Panther has doubled range of aura, provides the same accuracy and reload bonus, gives more speed and is for free. On top of that, he exceeds sight range, buffs ac/de- celeration and extends weapon range. Furthermore, with Vet 5 it spreads to nearby infantry. The only bonus lacking is the -20% received accurcy.... Can anybody tell me, why this seems well balanced? I don't get it... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak43 bug3 Jul 2021, 08:14 AM Hey guys, as you can see in Tightropes latest cast, my Pak43 seemed to be unable to shoot the abandoned Su85. My guess is, beeing able to shoot through obstacles, the Pak43 always shoots through it. Therefore abandoned vehicles might count as "obstacles". Maybe someone can check this out!

Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced24 Jun 2021, 14:13 PM I am sorry, but this discussion moves into a false direction. As I said before, the problem of Pathfinders is not their weapon profile or sniper mechanic. They feel good and they are doing well! My concerns are just their early and easy arriving and the possibility to upgrade them with heavy wepaons. Jägers are never capable of standing their ground versus allied core infantry. Their purpose is to scout and support from long range. Pathfinders though can become a real threat to vehicles with double Zooks or shred down Volks and Grens with double BAR. All of that combined with their huge vision. That's NOT their purpose! USF got Airborne Rangers for that role. Pathfinders should be a supportive reconnaissance unit. Therefore I suggested to town down their arrival, increase cooldown and withdraw their weapon slots. They will still be useful and powerful at long range, can snipe and spot the enemy. But Bazooka-Finders or BARfinders?? Really? ... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced23 Jun 2021, 12:43 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2021, 12:39 PMMMX The thing is, trying to engage in a substantial discussion with people who mistake their lack of skill and/or perspective with balance issues is indeed senseless. Like I said: If Axis have something strong, maybe abusable: It's a balance issue. If Allies have something strong, maybe abuseable: It's a l2p issue. Cool! If I haven't mentioned it yet, I was an alpha tester right from the beginning and I am a top 100 player. But you're maybe right, it's only my lack of skill.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced23 Jun 2021, 12:25 PM I have never said anything about Pathfinder rifles, their weapon stats or their units profiles at all. My only concern is Pathfinders arriving too early, they are too cheap and can easily replace riflemen with weapon upgrades, like in the replay. The only purpose of the comparison was to show how Relic balanced Jägers. Jägers were overpowered because of arriving too early, beeing too cheap and too strong. Now they fit in a perfect role as a support recon light sniper unit. Great synergy with Volks. It would just be great, if Pathfinders were in a same support role and not as strog as mainline infantry. But it's okay guys, I know this forum is mostly Allies biased and any substantial discussion is senseless. I just wanted to point at a balance issue. Have a nice day abusing Pathfinders as weapon crews and upgrading them with BARs and Zooks! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced21 Jun 2021, 10:59 AM My suggestions to balance Pathfinders and prevent people from abusing them: - Pathfinders 1 CP; increase call-in cooldown to 100 sec. - Beacon does only provide reinforcements for Airborne Rangers; no sight in FOW anymore (Pathfinders' sightrange is largely enough) - Sniper rifles take both weapon slots (the possibility of easily upgrading them with double BARs or Zooks is insane) Quick comparison: OKW Jäger: - 1 CP, 300MP, 8 popcap, reinforcement 35MP - 100 sec. call-in cooldown - G43 Sniper needs to be upgraded for 60 ammo - Upgrade needs a set up truck USF Pathfinders: - 0 CP, 290MP, 6 popcap, reinforcement 30MP - 24 sec. call-in cooldown - 2 Sniper rifles for free - 2 free weapon slots (BAR and Bazooka) I DO NOT want to make them the same. Their weapon profiles differ and their sniper rifles work a bit different, thats absolutely okay. Thats not the matter! The issue is simple: You can spam Pathfinders early on and upgrade them easily with powerful weapons while still beeing cheaper than Jäger. To understand my consideraions, watch the replay.
