Thread: Mobile Defence doctrine20 May 2018, 23:21 PM command tank would be fine if it was t3. Puma however, is solidly a T2.5 unit. by t3 I would prefer a stug, but t2 would be too early for puma. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SBP Change Notes20 May 2018, 21:42 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2018, 21:11 PMShadowLinkX37 I've been trying for them to standardize OKW vet for 2 years. Will never happen. they've actually standard volks and okw veterancy to a large degree. the total combat bonus at vet 5 is 30% and 22.6 def. vet 4 and vet 5 are sight and heal. It's basically identical to the old rifleman vet before the terminator. this is exactly what I meant when I said veterancy bonus is one of the least visible part of the game. I think another compromise is to provide every line infantry with the 30% accu 23% def, and then diverse on other benefit not directly tied to combat. volks already have self healing and sight.

Thread: SBP Change Notes20 May 2018, 20:50 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2018, 19:39 PMShadowLinkX37 Nope. Balance team would never go for standarized vet. ironically they are standarizing everything. veterancy is really one of the least visible aspect of the game. Jump back to quoted post20 May 2018, 19:43 PMadamírcz As if there wasnt already way too much mirroring. Especially some of the changes during this patch were already a way too high cost payed in uniqueness, for (not much better) balance how else would you make the line infantry veterancy unique and still balanced? jp4 and FF veterancy are different, but I would say they are still "equivalent". FF offer more offensive bonus and JP4 offer more defensive bonus. Some people are obsess with the 40 bonus damage on the FF without taking into account the whole package. right now rifleman vet is basically outright better than volks and grenadier. "asymmetric" doesn't mean making one side overpowered. right now the rifleman vet is 30% acc, 15% def + 23% def. that extra 15% def basically wipe away the extra acc bonus on the grenadiers. alternative: 1.3 x .77 = 1.001 (rifleman vs gren) 1.4 x .77 x .93 = 1.002 In: COH2 Balance

Try vetting either RE that cant fight at the start of the game with out upgrades. against axis it's either the wehr or okw. RE is still good enough against pio, and wehr usually go barrack build, leading to victory by default. the problem is actually re/brit vs sturm. I would usually give the sturm the advantage in the initial rush. Jump back to quoted post20 May 2018, 17:45 PMShadowLinkX37 Yeah sure we can make StG side tech, so long as volks scale as well as rifles the biggest reason rifle got the terminator veterancy because their 30% acc 23% def was inferior to the grenadier's 40% acc 23% def. how about we standardize veterancy for line infantry to 30% 23% def for everyone?

Thread: Bring back two man/woman soviet snipers [poll]20 May 2018, 07:01 AM Every snipers should have been turned into a two man team, with 40 hp per model and 135 reinforcement cost. nothing more infuriating than dealing 40 damage to a german sniper only to see him retreat for a "free" heal.

I don't think the okw tech tree need flamesturm, assuming the volks get HE nade. both the medical and LV truck get artillery. Okay, lv truck isn't that great at handling building, but it's a LV building. You shouldn't be building it if the map have lots of building. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SBP Change Notes19 May 2018, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2018, 18:27 PMOutsider_Sidaroth But USF starts with Rear Echelons... they still don't need to build anything at zero minute, and against the wehr the rear echelon is good enough. the old smoke + nade combo was honestly good enough for the Rifleman to contest the field in the early game. The rifleman are the best close quarter line infantry and work well with smoke. the addition of the t0 mortar and the removal of smoke is one of the greatest mistake made to the game.

Thread: SBP Change Notes19 May 2018, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2018, 10:53 AMLago A counterargument to that is that the flamenade doubles as a very fast, powerful cover denier. If OKW doesn't have it then they struggle with early buildings, if they do they can use it to swing the first fight anywhere on the map. Locking it behind the truck means OKW doesn't have that flamenade for the first fight and that they call the truck in as soon as possible, slowing their T0 by 100 manpower. Leaving it be and weakening OKW T0 in other ways means you're balancing around OKW pulling off an impactful flame grenade in the first fight, making it more important to that initial engagement, not less. the okw get the most powerful unit at the start (arguably tied with tommies) and can get to capping right away. Usually it's the other faction that have to remove sturm from building, not the other way around. USF, OKW, and British shouldn't really get garrison counterearly in t0. Their starting unit and tech means they can head for the all important building right from the start. The wehr are usually stuck spending the first 20 second building the barrack. Soviet conscript rush hasn't been that good for a while. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Firefly need to be cheaper19 May 2018, 05:43 AM Jump back to quoted post17 May 2018, 18:03 PMullumulu to bad that german tanks must stay to hit something...time enough to shot tulips in this right moment and kill the enemy armor. if u cant do it...learn it..it is not that hard. "accurate" on the move is a mainly US trait. every other faction, including the british, get 50% accuracy penalty. FF get a slight better of 45%. In: COH2 Balance
