Thread: Feedback for New Commander mod 4.0 - OST core changes13 Apr 2019, 16:05 PM USF commander still weak, boring and barely sticking to its own theme. Only "urban assault" thing it got was last bundle of flame nades and wp shells, seems balance team understood they picked urban assault commander without urban assault capabilities. Ranger squad, probably the worst contender for urban assault infantry from usf doctrinal infantry list. Paras have demo charge, assault engies are self explanatory, I&R paths have great arty strike to destroy buildings, what do rangers have? Calliope still the most expensive AND worst rocket arty in the game. "Rework" didnt even bring it to katyusha or mattress level. Molotovs require tech... All the other factions get their doctrinal stuff for free, usf needs to tech even for molotovs (30 muni cost...). Sprint on rangers has potential to be broken, just like WP shells on 75mm sherman. I guess these abilities will quickly get "adjusted" after commander release and it will join NKVD commander in trash bin. Obligatory "usf didnt need urban assault commander, it has armor and rifle companies" comment. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: why Rangers dont have any utility skill?13 Apr 2019, 14:05 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2019, 13:58 PMVipper Because they had a cost reduction and they where simply too cost efficient. The idea behind cost reduction is probably so that people can afford built more of them, so instead very expensive very strong units you get less strong less expensive unit similar to the changes to obers. This actualy makes sense for a bad idea change. Last thing anyone needed was more Rangers on the field. One strong CQC squad to break some defenses was ideal, no need for changes there. Their cost was justified too. These are some changes just for the sake of changes. I repeat my idea for balance team: Use unique Ranger skin from game files, apply your changes to that squad, add it to new commander under new name. Leave heavy cav Rangers as they are. In: Lobby
Thread: why Rangers dont have any utility skill?13 Apr 2019, 13:35 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2019, 13:23 PMSander93 If that was their intended theme, shouldn't the damage reduction only have applied when near an armored vehicle (or just the Pershing)? And with combined arms being the only relatable theme, the similarly named ability itself is enough. Making abilities that work in very specific situations or are more complicated than they should is bad for any competitive game. Thats why Rangers DMG reduction was good feature, it was simple and it worked. Didnt cause any issues. Easy to understand. You didnt understand my previous post, i wasnt talking about heavy cav overall theme, i pointed out how Rangers specifically follow this theme. Combined Arms has nothing to do with Ranger squad being good at assaulting enemy positions. But you already said Combined Arms is enough so i guess we have to accept The Judgment... All infantry squads in the game get lower received accuracy as they vet up. JLI are nothing special, besides getting a lower value than average. But it's still the same mechanics that are at work. On top of that, JLI received accuracy veterancy bonus is communicated in the veterancy description that every player has access to (though admittedly Relic's descriptions aren't the best). This is not comparable to a hidden damage reduction modifier that isn't shown in the game nor is it mentioned anywhere in the Rangers' unit descriptions (again unlike Shocktroopers, whose descriptions mentions they use light body armor). Wait, so all this fuss just because there is no mention of DMG reduction in Rangers description? I got genius idea to make things simpler: Add "Has Damage Reduction" to Rangers desription. Done.

Thread: why Rangers dont have any utility skill?13 Apr 2019, 13:10 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2019, 12:53 PMSander93 What problems? The only thing the changes did was to remove the squad's lower vulnerability to AOE weapons, which had no place in the game since it was neither thematic nor communicated to the player (unlike Shocktrooper armor for example that is shown cosmetically). The problem is that you felt the need to remove it in the first place. Rangers were not causing any issues, at the same time they were doing their job just fine. Why even touch them when there are so many garbage units in usf roster that need some buffs/rework? The DMG reduction was very thematic as Rangers are supposed to charge at enemy positions alongside Pershing (Combined Arms ability suggests this use of Rangers) and they need to get close to do some damage, having DMG reduction was helpful to avoid being blown up by random tank or mortar shell. DMG reduction wasnt communicated to players... And how is vetted JLI insane received accuracy communicated to players? Maybe make them ballerinas jumping around? Rangers had DMG reduction for years and it didnt cause any issues (while many other units were breaking game balance) and now, in 2019, you say it has no place in the game. Thats very random statement. Just for clarification, elite squad with frag nade as their only "feature" has place in the game? In: Lobby
Thread: why Rangers dont have any utility skill?13 Apr 2019, 12:42 PM Rangers are good squad, they dont need additional utility because of how good their stats are. The problem is someone in balance team was bored and decided to destroy the only standing out feature of rangers, damage reduction. It was completly unnecessary to touch rangers in the first place as they were fulfiling very important role in usf roster and were good at it (their high price was justified). Now you can be sure that this great "rework" will bring some problems while previously rangers were in a good spot. My idea for balance team: Some forum user (nigo?) said there is unique ranger skin in game files. Take this unique skin, apply all these wonderful changes of yours to ranger squad, call it Urban Assault Rangers (or whatever) and add it to the new usf commander. Leave heavy cav ranger as they were. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for New Commander mod 4.0 - OST core changes12 Apr 2019, 21:41 PM I didnt understand at first why you are touching rangers at all with that MP reduction. Now i see that it was just introduction to make rangers into even more generic and lacking squad. "Rangers are having their received damage modifier removed as no other infantry unit in the game has this trait" No other infantry squad has insane crit value on their rifles together with ignoring cover and sprint, when are you removing these "traits" from JLI? What a bullcrap argument to make squad with frag as their only "utility" stand out even less. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?12 Apr 2019, 08:03 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2019, 07:47 AMthedarkarmadillo You need to update your game mate. The pak howi is a monster, UKF have a snare and the Jackson is probably the most survivable allied TD due to having all the tools to survive having below average health but... Not having below average health. What tools to survive does jackson have? It has no armor and no defensive abilities. In: COH2 Balance
