Thread: Sturmpio repair speed4 Dec 2015, 00:22 AM the old sturmpioneer repair speed was a bit insane. Even a King tiger can be repair back to top condition relatively quickly. instead of going back to 1.6 hp/sec I think it's better to make it 2.0hp/sec +1.0 with minesweeper. Minesweeper are also trivial to buy since the sturmpio can just put it away. I think sapper need their repair speed lowered to 1.6 as well. Repair rate are appled per person in a squad so a upsized sapper with the heavy engineer upgrade basically become the best repair unit in the entire game. Rear echelon should have better repair speed because of their low combat strength, although I don't know how weak they are after the buff. Sturmpio should have better repair speed because of their price and pop upkeep. Sapper is neither weak nor expensive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rocket Artillery4 Dec 2015, 00:06 AM both the tommies and major artillery need a pretty massive buff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [December] Volks and Obers are Overpriced3 Dec 2015, 15:34 PM the base ober is worth like ~320mp, but the lmg34 is easily worth 90 munition at the least. The current arrangement basically shove part of the lmg34 cost onto the base unit itself. At least they only cost 40 mp to reinforce. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December Update3 Dec 2015, 01:56 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2015, 01:54 AMjugglerman Lol- those saucy germans. But seriously how come OKW & Wehrmacht has never had to spend fuel on teching shrecks for their mainline troops? wehr schreck require you to purchase a relatively expensive anti-infantry unit and then spend more munition to dump the unit's anti-infantry strength for anti-tank capability. In short, panzergrenadier schreck are really expensive. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: December Update3 Dec 2015, 01:49 AM all the nerf on Tommies seem excessive. Yes I know the out of cover penalty was decreased but its had a minimal effect on the lee-enfield anyway. All these changes only seems to make Tommies even more a walking bren blob. If you're going to nerf the tommies at least buff the bren carrier and vickers to compensate for the early game weakness. and people are too focus on the sniper's effect on light vehicle. It was merely a small part of the ability and its other effect was useful but hardly overpowered. A better nerf would have been to just change that particular effect against light vehicle. While I'm glad to see the OKW resource penalty gone, I feel like there isn't really enough nerf to compensate. There's no doubt the OKW got a massive buff with this patch. and the terminator vet on the rifleman is still there. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Shouldn't UKF have AT snare?2 Dec 2015, 08:33 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2015, 22:30 PMAchtAchter Panzerschrecks don't do deflection damage. panzerschreck still do 30 damage on deflection (25% damage). Bazooka deal 20 damage on deflection. I think they should have modified the sniper's critical shot directly instead of moving it to vet1. Something like giving the ability the same restriction as faust. For example, the ability will only trigger engine damage if the target hp is 50% or less. This way the sniper doesn't counter a 222 outright In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British mortar2 Dec 2015, 00:45 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2015, 05:25 AMLemonJuice its pretty map dependent i find, on some maps i get a huge payback with it. on others, its not so good and easy to destroy. the nice thing about the mortar pit is that you dont have to reinforce it, theres no bleed. you "bleed" by losing sapper trying to repair it. I don't know why your comparing Ost bunkers to Brit emplacements. 1 is MG based more like USF emplacement. The other is a mortar. They serve two different things for two different factions which both are designed around. and to add another point. Both the Ost and US have access to a mobile mg that will do the job just as nicely. the british lack any mobile arty aside from the Sexton. The sexton isn't even that good. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Scout sniper squad.2 Dec 2015, 00:43 AM I would buff the penal first. The sov sniper is still an excellent but the overall weakness of the building make it less attractive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: inefficiency of panthers28 Nov 2015, 03:19 AM The panther can already match the more expensive pershing in a 1 on 1 slug fight. Its rof might be low, but its high armor and high penetration allow it to match and even defeat more expensive tanks like the is2, Comet and pershing. The panther will completely dominate tank battle if it got a rof increase. Its slow rof is clearly intentional to keep allied medium tanks relevant. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [OSTHEER][ALL][Panzer Werfer]27 Nov 2015, 07:49 AM the panzerwerfer seems to always go between wipe machine or a gentle breeze. I think it would make it easier to balance if the panzerwerfer fire its rocket a bit slower, instead of instantaneous. This would allow infantry to retreat but support weapons would still get wiped.
