Thread: Statistical Oddities27 Feb 2019, 05:12 AM -M2 50 cal reverts to its old (bad) penetration at vet 2, and is wildly inconsistent damage-wise. Aim time is huge for an hmg. -RE stens have crazy RoF and a strange 2.5 damage. (The fixes for these are opposite- M2 should shoot twice as much for half damage and suppression, sten should be half as fast for double damage) -HM-38 barrage and autofire shells have different explosion patterns. One is the old insta-wipe kind. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: HMG "handbrake" mode & manual reload.23 Feb 2019, 09:05 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2019, 04:20 AMCyanara The problem with that is you never know how long a unit will be out of combat. Another enemy unit could appear as soon as the unit starts autoloading. Taking away that control could be just as frustrating. That does sound like a problem, but as the system works currently, almost every single reload is done when fighting (the exception being if the last shot of the fight is followed by a reload). Auto-reloading out of combat gives a much better chance of reloads happening when the weapons aren't in use. The idea doesn't take away any control; it actually gives players more factors to consider about engaging at opportune times. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: HMG "handbrake" mode & manual reload.22 Feb 2019, 17:32 PM "Handbrake" or "Hold position" mode would be good. I think a manual reload is too in-depth micro-wise. Instead, units could auto-reload after they exit combat. That would also benefit infantry and autocannons. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Upcoming CoH3 installment (Poll)18 Feb 2019, 23:06 PM I think the most exciting part of an upcoming CoH game would be new Army designs. I love the vCoH US vs Wehr matchup as much as anyone, but CoH2 followed that design pretty closely with Soviets vs Wehr. I'd like to see some more ideas on how to make armies work without gimmicks.

Thread: OKW MG-34 Buff (But not the way you think)18 Feb 2019, 00:07 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2019, 20:37 PMStug life no I would call 95% "basically the same". The fire rate is slower, but it does more suppression per shot. The main difference is the damage, which isn't very good. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ostheer MG/Early16 Feb 2019, 17:11 PM So basically- -The MG34 is like 95% as good as the MG42 EDIT: For suppression. Its damage is lower. -DShK would be best MG if not for its tiny cone of fire -Maxim close range performance does not improve past 10m like the other MGs (visible on DPS chart, not my spreadsheet), so it's more vulnerable to frontal attacks. And I think- -The M2's damage and RoF mean it's very inconsistent. The damage and suppression per shot could be halved and the effective RoF doubled, like the DShK -I recommend increasing the short-range performance of bad machine guns would make them harder to push from the front, without making them as able to lock down a wide area like the MG42/34.
