Thread: Overwatch Flares, rework or remove3 May 2019, 17:05 PM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2019, 14:07 PMSkysTheLimit ...it's my opinion that it's more valuable than the passives you're referencing... It all sums up to that sentence. Your opinion. But dont worry no need to elaborate, just some "because i want it that way" justification. At least im thinking on the game rather personal tastes. As I repeated myself over and over again, flares could use a range reduction 'nerf' or unbundle it from goliath but the rest is pretty consistent. The commander was the least picked and turned into meta. ...you're just putting up resistance because you dont like me... No offense, but im straight. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Overwatch Flares, rework or remove3 May 2019, 14:01 PM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2019, 13:32 PMSkysTheLimit Of course it is, that doesn't mean it should be free/that it should automatically arm itself for the rest of the game. Yes, it should be free as long as you cant justify why not. Its a commander ability, not a 'free' OKM buff. Radio intercept is as free as this one. USF radio network is also as free (but needs more CP) and buffs inf and vehicles. Even UKF better cover bonus is 'free'. BTW the word you seek is passive since its a constant effect without any cost.

Thread: Bolster Musings3 May 2019, 13:46 PM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2019, 08:42 AMSeductiveCardbordBox I don't put much stock in the countersniper as a valid way to compensate. The same goes for bolsters as a counter vs snipers ... but that doesn't address the fundemental weakness of brit early game to snipers. OST has the same issues and OKM has no snipers to begin with Their AEC arrives late (compared to?), UCs lack chasing power (and are getting a nerf to boot), and they have the worst early game unit choice to face them down. Again, sniper / countersniper gameplay, OST cant pull LVs in the same time frame neither, and 222 gets rekt by AECs. Brit sections are the most expensive mainline Brit sections are reliant on remaining stationary in cover to fight well Brit sections have abysmal moving accuracy Again, OST vs UKF situation, grens loose to IS, but they are weaker to sniping shot (because of their cost and bad moving acc) and then UKF countersniper comes into play. Even vickers have an edge on MG42 when both are in green cover. There is a real tight balance there. Bolsters just flat out that said balance against OST with a relatively cheap upgrade. Brits do not start with a capping engineer squad They start with a more expensive mainline inf that excels in the first 1v1, like OKM has expensive sturmpios that excel at the first rush in. Brits have to tech up to even be able to buy a cheap capping squad Again, UKF has more fuel and cheaper tech, its only half an issue there Brits can't buy an early mortar for indirect and smoke And who uses mortars in the first 5 min? Even if you were to it does not have any effect on boslter. And to flank/displace HMGs early you can always use UC with IS inside, if the other player is MG spamming use fire to kill fire, vickers+snipers do wonders. Brits can't get smoke at all without teching and buying grenades or teching and building a stationary pit The same as before, no need to repeat yourself now. The AEC is now more expensive per unit. You cannot afford to lose one as you can a scout car Bolsters vs AEC? Countersniping effectively relies on luring in an enemny sniper before yours first fires. But brit map presence with a passive sniper facing an ost sniper in the early game is so pathetically low that you'll be fuel starved and removed by LVs even if you try. Humm no? Maybe someone is exagerating a little too much... It happened in the alpha. Bolster was the response. The game has changed a lot to even imply that something that happened in ALPHA could happen again. Pretty much debunked. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Healing Section3 May 2019, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2019, 11:12 AMLago ... That's all there is to it. There's nothing to be gained by the usual suspects screaming and shouting about how overpowered the red units are. Did you mean... RED ARMY UNITS??? *Plays soviet anthem in background Haha i was just kidding. I couldnt agree any more. If i could add something it would be that all changes are usually upsetting, at least at the beginning. And as SCB said, UKF need to tech to get their main healing, but at least teching as UKF is usually cheaper than any other faction. Tommies heal is beyond ideal, since other factions do not even reach up the same flexibility to heal, not even USF that has ambulance can heal their squads on the move (only hardcore medic micro could do that) As a defensive faction UKF heals should be valuable, because both quirks, ground holding and healing sinergise very well. Some people might complaint about UKF lacking pushing power, but thats the tradeoff. Keeping in mind that not every UKF player will be pleased to change the current healing mechanism, i would say that the healing crate system from sturmpios could do just fine for early UKF. If not, then make the healing IS "distributing medpaks" to stand still for the healing duration (and reduce its duration, increase the amout of healing). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle squad and Calliope need more buff.3 May 2019, 01:26 AM Well i agree on the part of riflemen vs specs variation, but its not because riflemen got worse in any sense at all. They are still great infantry. To buff them to outperform the current doctrinal call in infantry for USF would be a bad idea IMO. I understand that riflemen are better being generalist infantry, that can adapt to many situations. But the current meta forces early CQC encounters, specialists to have an edge in combats and cost efficient trades. Reworking vets sounds a good idea but also take account that riflemen with AT would vet much faster too. I would sincerely swap the order of the vets you prupose and remove so much ra bonuses. 1st AT nades and cd 2nd Acc 3rd RA bonus. if you start buffing RA they will snowball easily and as a premium generalist mainline inf is too much, even at their cost.

Thread: UKF Healing Section3 May 2019, 01:19 AM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2019, 22:20 PMLago Currently not. I think they should be able to though. I agree too. If OKM FHQ SWS can be upgraded for both there is no problem for UKF doing the same. The only point though is that UKF benefits more than OKM because loosing the FHQ doesnt hurt as much. It also encourages more infantry combat witch UKF is good at. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: NEW COMMANDER PREVIEW - 7.0 version3 May 2019, 01:10 AM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2019, 22:13 PMOutsider_Sidaroth It's okay, I don't mind taking it off the rooster, but this feels like the usual knee-jerk reaction because USF can out-cheese OKW in the early game. All good though, OKW needs it, else they crumble. USF 'needed' early game cheese aswell before the last patch, so we can call it even now. Its not like they are out of tools either. In: Lobby
