Thread: Stormtroopers and cloak12 Feb 2021, 06:20 AM I use stormtroopers in automatch regularly, they work perfectly fine with their mp40s, I had multiple surprise attacks and wipes with them. I do notice that sometimes the squad is only partially camoflaged, but in those cases one of the models stand too far from cover, it just takes a quick repositioning to fix that. One thing I'm still unsure about is what determines their recloak time after entering combat. Sometimes they are able to cloak as soon as the under attack indicator is gone, sometimes it takes much longer and in those cases iirc there is not even a crawler nearby to keep them visible.

Thread: An idea regarding OST relief infantry rework10 Feb 2021, 06:38 AM This ability is just full of contradictions. First of all it costs a massive amount of munitions and many times you would be better off using the respective commanders' sector artillery or stuka loiter. But let's assume you use it before a big engagement (most likely towards late game). You get your ostruppen squads but you also manage to retereat all your squads with a few models left. Great, now you are left with a bunch of one of the weakest infantry units, they have no veterancy and they need to be upgraded with lmgs (further increasing muni cost). But most importantly they take up pop cap so in the end you have even less manpower to reinforce your retreated squads that would be more effective on the frontline than those fresh ostruppens. So overall you paid tons of muni and manpower and the result may put you in a very disadvantageous positions, while for example using smoke bombs and sector artillery could have saved your troops and win that engagement. There was a proposal about relief infantry returning some manpower for each model lost, that would make far more sense imo. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger... why?7 Feb 2021, 12:56 PM Forget about blobs, I use it mostly as a tank stunner, granting a guaranteed kill. It even gives far more xp to the sturmtiger than trying to hit a tasty blob. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback18 Dec 2020, 11:52 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2020, 11:49 AMSupport Sapper in the bug fix note, there is a line said the scope lee enfield having it profile fixed, so it will be a such a waste if it can make it to the game, like, in live, this weapon cant be found anywhere in the game, which is a shame. Could replace one of the rifles for pyro sections, without taking a slot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Osttruppen Discussion and Feedback15 Dec 2020, 13:37 PM With ostruppen requiring T1 will they still worth getting over grenadiers for slightly more early map control, but a weaker late game unit? In teamgames the main reason I would deploy ostruppen is to allow me to send my pios immediately to the most contested points and to get T2 faster, but they remain largely fragile for the rest of the game and thus being a pain (only pro is that they are great at recrewing team weapons). With T1 becoming a requirement there seems to be little reason to deploy them, and I'm wondering wether they still have a place in smaller gamemodes either. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback13 Dec 2020, 14:17 PM With ostruppen meta being toned down 5 men gren meta comes back, it was already visible in the streamer 1v1. Imo it would be interesting to try the ukf raid package on grens in place of the 5th man upgrade. It would give them a capture bonus and a firerate bonus in cover, emphasising grens intended defensive use. In general the idea is to replace vsl gren upgrade with something that leaves room for other doctrines in smaller gamemodes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] Bug Reporting12 Dec 2020, 14:01 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2020, 11:58 AMDharx The new Churchill pintle Vickers lacks a mounting stand, it just floats in the air. The mg on the 250 Halftrack also floats (and originally it didn't have one), result of limited modding tools. It's really only visible if one zooms in. Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2020, 11:58 AMDharx AT Tommies have the magazines of Boys AT rifles floating below the gun instead of attached to the top. Sniper's rifle is fine. Result of wrong animations most likely, unsure if it can be fixed. Iirc there are some other weapons with misplaced mags in certain squads. Again, hardly noticable without zooming in.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback12 Dec 2020, 08:37 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2020, 13:33 PMSander93 UKF received the medic squad to encourage/accommodate more diverse builds (support weapons, Assault Sections, etc.) and because it's not desirable to force people to build a FORWARD Assembly in their base. I'v got a partial counterargument for the diversity aspect: if we look at the two doctrines that feature ass tommies and at tommies we can see both of them has a halftrack. And coincidely these halftracks are gaining the ability to heal in this patch. In all other cases one would always have at least one medic IS to heal support weapons anyway. I agree that with the recent fix UKF medics are indeed too cheap. Sure they can't reinforce like USF ambo, but that's their only non-doc healing platform and most of the times it sits in their base in smaller gamemodes. I believe it is more likely on the other hand that UKF medics sometimes would leave the base to capture some nearby sectors as risking their loss is not as serious for UKF as it is for USF. As for a solution I would add some munitions to their cost. Not 60 as forward assembly but somewhere around 30 or 45. Or not even to the squad directly, but as an unlockable sidetech that allows the requisition of medics. Perhaps it could be 5-10 fuel instead in the latter approach. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback8 Dec 2020, 19:14 PM Why is this whole raid package necessary? On one hand it offers too much and too early for only 30 muni, not to mention how broken it can get when combined with advanced cover combat ability. However if the intention is to simply delay IS capping bonus that was removed in 1.0, then why not just lock it behind Platoon command post for example? In: COH2 Balance
