Thread: Penal Battalions and Assault Grenadiers31 Jan 2014, 13:33 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2014, 12:36 PMKatitof When one squad needs to constantly rely on other squad to make it work, then it means it doesn't work. Your assessment is not correct. Complementing the penal squad with a conscript increases time the penal can stay on the map and inflict damage. It improves it. The penal doesn't rely on the conscript to be valid. As mentioned the penals are ok, their manpower and population cost are maybe not in line with their performance (maybe adjust the cost to 320 manpower and 7 population). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Penal Battalions and Assault Grenadiers31 Jan 2014, 12:20 PM Penals perform ok and the armour is what makes them a good unit to merge with to save some manpower and keep a damage dealing unit on the field, it also gives merge actually a good use. The only thing worth thinking about would be a cost decrease to 300 or 320 manpower (and maybe 7 or 8 instead of 9 population cost). Penals have a role and are good at it, however in most scenarios they are too costly for it. Their manpower and population cost put them in the same league as elite infantry which they're not quite.

Thread: Guard14 Jan 2014, 00:14 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2014, 02:24 AMelchino7 Reduce cost of DP28 to 45. Reduce number of DP to 1 but increase the effectiveness of the weapon to scale similarly to 2 DP28 minus the damage the mosin on the other guard may add. I like the idea. If relic also addressed the issue with the unit jumping around all the time and not being able to fire both the ptrs and dp28, this would be a rather good change. They could do with a tad higher penetration than 80. I had someone trying to button my p4 with guards today and they didn't fire a single ptrs shot because they were moving in on the tank and running around (zis got in 1 hit though). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What is up with the 203 mm Howizer ?13 Jan 2014, 22:34 PM The strength of the b4 lies in its fast reload time (it's either the fastest or second fastest after the panzerwerfer, not sure anymore). The vehicle target ability is a bit iffy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with the 203 mm Howizer ?13 Jan 2014, 22:27 PM Could you upload the replay? Might be helpful to determine whether it's actually a bug or if something else caused the issue. Please write when you tried to use it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with the 203 mm Howizer ?13 Jan 2014, 22:21 PM The b4 needs an unobstructed firing line to the intended target. There can not be any buildings or hedges in between the gun and the target or it will not work or react to a firing order. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The tiger ace syndrome12 Jan 2014, 22:57 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2014, 12:24 PMCardboard Tank I´m already pissed about the ram ability, more range on SU-85 and mark target which screws up tank combat. But if that´s really going to happen, I doubt I will be playing to the extend I´m doing now. It´s not only small mistakes representing the factions... it seems to move to utter shit which actually has nothing to do with WW2, except some models. Give Germans anti-tank-knives! They never existed but are needed for balance of course. I'm sorry to pursue this off topic remark but was there a change to su85s that I didn't see or when was the range increased? Are these beta changes? The Tiger Ace can be beaten, however I preferred it when it was an indefinite all in call-in. But that can be debated. I often go guards with mark target to be able to button it and have zis and a su85 try to do some damage. It's really though to beat though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: "One-shot-wipe-potential"12 Jan 2014, 13:14 PM We seem to be on the same page then. RNG and osw should be toned down in my view as well, but I wanted to make it clear that the work doesn't stop at removing it. You'll have to compensate for the "random damage". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: "One-shot-wipe-potential"12 Jan 2014, 12:44 PM You missed the point of my post. I said it was important to maintain the mechanic of how the match up between Soviets and Germans works, nothing more nothing less. So if you remove all one shot capable assets you have to compensate for that factor of chance with for example stronger cons for example that are able to cause a similar manpower bleed on the German player. I see you point about the precision strike. Maybe I was just lucky that I didn't have to deal with it being spammed against me. I don't see why you'd have to get "pissed off" though . I never commented on the Sturmovik, it is absolutely too strong. It probably would help to either make it less strong or reduce or remove the LOS of the plane. Regarding the railway, is2 late game argument I do appologise, I didn't see that you wrote your other argument. You also misinterpreted most of what I wrote. I was offering perspective, I wasn't attacking you or your argument. I do agree that osw and chance should be reduced, however I kindly wanted to draw your attention to the fact that you cannot simply remove it and expect the game to still work.
