Thread: RK 43 4 May 2021, 15:33 PM I also wanted to make a thread about ATGs recently. The Raketenwerfer is fine. I think the 5 meter range trade off does not cause it to be less effective as AT, but that it is exposed a tad more than other ATGs which fits OKWs offensive theme. 5 men and retreat are there to compensate for those 5 meters and the missing shield. The earlier timing is due to Allied light vehicle options. But let's be real: A UC will probably not bleed you enough in the first 5 minutes to force a Raketenwerfer. In most cases, it is better to just sustain the damage until you have Fausts because you need the map presence more than the AT capability. Regarding the 57mm discussion: The gun is good, but probably only in 1v1 because there are more mediums and LVs. The larger the mode, the more garbage it becomes. Especially because it scales quite badly with vet, probably the worst of all ATGs in the game. For it to work like other ATGs, you need to constantly dump at least 30 mun into it, which is not worth the reduced price of 50 MP in the long run. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should stealth be normalized4 May 2021, 08:29 AM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2021, 08:15 AMKatitof Makes sense that doctrinal camo is better then stock one + it could move for years and we all know why it can't anymore. The Rak had decent speed when cloaked back then, the ZiS was always slow af. I doubt that a Raketenwerfer moving at the speed of a cloaked ZiS would be a huge issue. It still couldn't do anything that was causing issues back then. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Funny match making ?4 May 2021, 06:19 AM Relic should rebrand this as the final fix for matchmaking. ELO twice as high? Well, how about you only get half the players? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Winter Patch Buglist 20213 May 2021, 17:37 PM (Not related to the current beta patch but the previous one) Yesterday I had my RETs stuck in barbed wire again. Shift queued first he left, then the right wire. First time this happened since the patch. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the replay file. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback3 May 2021, 15:20 PM Can someone tell me the stats of the new Vickers K to calc the DPS (CD, fire aim time, burst length and modifiers, ROF, reload etc). Or was the BAR taken as the base weapon and then modified? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback3 May 2021, 11:46 AM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2021, 11:34 AMVipper If my calculation are correct the bonus is around 23%-24% more DPS at all ranges so is not "that" small while being available from vet 1. Any issue has more to do with the restriction to cover than the bonus itself. The discussion was about 2xBren heavy sappers. They only have two squads and are a long range squad, so the vet1 bonus will not contribute much. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback3 May 2021, 11:05 AM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2021, 10:50 AMVipper One has also to keep in mind that R.o. get received accuracy/reifocment bonus that are combat bonuses and Heavy sapper get armor. Once reaching vet 3 heavy sappers are one of the most durable squad in game. At vet 3 yes. At vet2 they are fairly average. That's why I said it is probably best to use the once that vetted early while rebuilding one late game does not give a big benefit over an IS that already performs better at vet2. Jump back to quoted post3 May 2021, 10:56 AMKatitof Their in-cover bonuses are exclusively for STEN guns, they affect no other weapon and despite high values, its very minor and insignificant increase compared even to 15% accuracy of pios/CEs. If it is for sten only then it is indeed only a small short range increase. It does not change the fact that the unit still is a decent combat squad, especially for 6 pop. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback3 May 2021, 10:46 AM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2021, 10:32 AMKatitof And it doesn't change a single thing about that I've said. Which is, again: They are the ONLY unit in game with ZERO accuracy vet. Their damage scaling is EXCLUSIVELY upgrades. You're getting worked up to prove me wrong on an argument I never made, congrats. Double Bren heavy engies do perform decently in combat, although they are exceptionally munitions heavy, but then so are IS. How they scale does not matter that much. Saying they do not get accuracy with vet is misleading because they do get combat bonusses when in cover (however not 100% if on Sten only or if it also works for other weapons). I think if you manage to vet your engies early, they are a decent pick to make them a fighting unit. Building a fresh one in the late game for that purpose is what is not working. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - OKW Feedback1 May 2021, 22:18 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2021, 19:52 PMTiger Baron If we're going to use the same logic here as the flares where "oh we're removing it from this faction so that means we should remove/not give it to the others" then the B4, Railway arty and the 240mm barrage as well as concentrated barrage should either all be entirely reworked or removed from the game as well then. As far as your opinion goes on not having the Sturmtiger like it's shown in the video, again, that's just entirely your opinion and you cannot prove that it'd be impossible to balance in any sort of way until it's actually tested and people give their feedback on it like I've already said. These wild guesses and assumptions going off of currently implemented badly designed and balanced units I don't believe have anything to do with with this right now taking into consideration that it'd be something entirely new and unique, not to mention different. Of course it is only an opinion of mine, just like you saying it can be balanced. But the game has been moving away from quick wipes that you can do nothing about to a more consistent model of damage on basically every single unit. We're having balance issues with units that already fit this design in general. Throwing a unit into this that basically does exactly the opposite of what the game has come to be over years now will be either impossible to balance or very, very hard to find a right spot at the very least. Especially considering differences between modes etc etc. Regardless of what you and I personally think about this style of game in general, it should be fairly obvious that one trick ponies like the ST will be a tough nut to crack. And it is probably worth neither the effort/time that will be missing on working on other issues nor the risk of almost breaking a game mode for bringing a single unit back to life. In: COH2 Balance
