Thread: "For Mother Russia" (sprinting while in combat)15 Nov 2019, 16:41 PM Currently shocks with FMR sprint and they can't fire on the move with 50% acc bonus. This is good for forcing enemy off the field as you can get to an enemy unit quickly and it has to retreat. Currently shocks with FMR can't chase the retreating squad because they can't continue to fire at it. If combat presence removes the sprint from shocks, I think they will be able to follow/chase retreating squad for a short time with 50% extra accy resulting in more wipes. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 15 Nov 2019, 04:27 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 23:00 PMDoomlord52 This is a strawman. Nowhere did I say that JLI/Falls were no longer effective or that they were 'trash'. Before the nerf, JLI/Falls were over-performing; you'd see them in essentially every single game involving OKW, and they would be used as mainline infantry, completely replacing Volks. This is currently the state of the M36; it's fielded in large numbers (2-3+) in every USF game, simply because it's so dominant against other vehicles. Nowhere have I said that you said JLI or Falls were no longer effective or trash. "Trash" part was my sarcasm related to how I think a comment on these units being "good" is an understatement. I said that you referred to them as if they were no longer very effective post nerf, even though the selling point of JLI and Falls stayed the same before and post nerf, with their most desired features being 75% crit + and excellent DPS at all ranges respectively. I would also like to point out that when major change hits a unit (like the Falls buff we had), everyone extensively tries the unit out. Even if a particular doctrine has a very strong unit, some people like to play with something else for a change every now and then. You don't have to necessarily associate lower frequency of Falls plays with ambush bonus bug fix + 20 MP cost increase + vet req increase. 340 MP for elite infantry is the low end cost and if you use your Falls properly they should still vet well. I don't think these changes were significant enough to consider Falls transition from being "OP" to just "good". You can often see in top 2v2s that OKW player decides to go with 3 Falls strat, so in this regard the game has not changed much. There were also more than just JLI change that affected the frequency of Overwatch doc picks. Flares that have to be planted manually, changes to the howitzer barrage cooldown, attractiveness of Panzerfusilier blobs and early snare availability, Tiger I for OKW, changes to overwatch skillplanes, all of these influenced the doc pick meta for OKW. Also for the other doc with JLI, it had a dead commander ability being thorough salvage that was initially suicidally long or didn't work post rework for a long time + ineffective synergy of JLI and infiltration nades. Infiltration nades are a good ability that is very situational. Scavenge doctrine is very good with the AI/AA Ostwind and JLI alone, but other doctrines can offer you more powerful tools. What made the JLI not spammable is the 100s cooldown. It's difficult to wait for so long to fill missing space in the infantry roster without sacrificing map control. Reason why people build Jacksons is because you can't fight axis 230+ armour vehicles with sherman effectively. This is why they build their tank destroyers. You can see Tigers almost every game post heavy tank buff. This is the only way not to lose the game as USF, you have to build Jacksons. Brits have Firefly + 6lb + extra stock tanks that can take a beating, Soviets can at least support their SU-85 with zis gun, satchels or Stun34 to trade for a Panther. USF relies primarily on Jackson. USF ATG ability is cool but consumes a lot of MU and may well bounce even if you hit the target. I don't think USF can afford any changes to the Jackson In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 14 Nov 2019, 22:22 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 20:27 PMStormjäger Falls and JLI are trash?!?!?!?!? Sarcasm. Doomlord refered to them as if post nerf they were no longer very effective, while they are. JLI always trade well and Falls are ambush superhumans. With infantry superiority, whether or not you can exercise your infantry to the limits is usually restricted by the vehicle and arty play of your opponent, so enemy infantry superiority while bugging, can be overcomed if there are other tools available to you. I say similar is true when fighting Jackson. You use the right tools to secure your tanks either by ATG support, fighting in advantageous location, closing the distance yourself, use of infantry with handheld AT, or if you have the luxury of OKW roster, you can build JP4 which handles Jacksons pretty well. 2 successful shots connecting with Jackson usually send it home to repair. I think Jackson is a very good TD, but it is not broken. Imho it doesn't require any changes as it is now. USF has holes in army composition due to lack of sniper or nondoc rocket arty which limits their power vs teamweapons. Before you say anything about pak howie, you can counter it by rocket arty or by moving your teamweapons to another position as it requires barrage to be used effectively post nerf and the barrage has cooldown. Every tank USF can produce doctrinal or not is vulnerable to Tigers or Panthers. Due to low pen of bazookas or 57mm ATG USF needs Jackson to have reliable response to the threat of axis heavy vehicles. While Jackson deals damage to heavies reliably, I think that combination of T34 ram + offmap or well used firefly with tulips can be deadlier to axis tanks. Jackson is just consistently good. One could consider replacing some commander ability with JP4 in one of the wehrmacht doctrines so that any Wehrmacht player that has USF PTSD can build a JP4 if he can't use efficiently the tools that he has.

Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 14 Nov 2019, 20:03 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 19:14 PMDoomlord52 Yes, the M36 is excellent at destroying tanks. The problem is, it's so good at destroying tanks that it makes basically every other vehicle irrelevant. There's a difference between "good" and "over performing"; see JLI and/or Falls before they were both nerfed. Ye, JLI and Falls were op but are trash after the nerf. Not worth to build them anymore. Luckily Jackson was recently nerfed in a similar fashion by bringing its fuel cost up by 5. Per JLI/Falls standard, it means that Jackson is already post nerfs and is good to stay as it is.

Tbh Katitof's feelings about range were similarly wrong to your feelings about pak howie shots being laser guided. You shouldn't patronize him. In: COH2 Balance

I think that Lefh in teamgames or rocket arty in 1v1 are the best counters to pak howie and teamweapons in general. In: COH2 Balance
