Thread: Buff for 5 man grens19 Apr 2021, 15:51 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2021, 15:29 PMVipper One can balance a unit with changing the number of weapons, that is my point. The number of weapon affect the behavior of unit when they lose models. It is good for squad with low entity count to keep the number of weapons low to reduce the DPS drop off when model die. This is part of the reason Commandos are easier to use to than MP-40 ST. Using 3+1 weapon basically make the unit's DPS profile complicated with no real benefit. A 3+1 profile is not 'more complicated' than a 2+2 or 1+3. As long as you tell the player that the squad will take significant DPS hits when the third model dies it is fine. Knowing when to retreat and when to keep the squad in a fight, when closing in is worth it and when not is part of properly playing the game. Having units behave differently is crucial to keeping diversity in fights. Standardizing all of it makes them more boring. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff for 5 man grens19 Apr 2021, 15:25 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2021, 15:13 PMVipper Weapon would be re-balanced according to number the total DPs of the squad is balance issue the number of different weapons is design. Comminication is also a reason to avoid 75% of weapons replacement. It would be better if some standard was used for normal weapons (not lmg/AT) like half the weapons or all in this case 2 or 4. Number of weapons and their DPS are both connected to how the unit works and is therefore both designed and balanced. You can barely separate these. There is no reason to standardize this as long as the player knows what is going on. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff for 5 man grens19 Apr 2021, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2021, 14:56 PMVipper There is very little reason to use 3 weapons in 4 men squads. One should either use four for consistency or 2 for less DPS drops. What? Why? How many weapons are handed out with an upgrade is determined by balance only. If they need 2, 3 or 4 G43 is not a question of consistency, especially not if it is communicated to the players. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff for 5 man grens19 Apr 2021, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2021, 13:38 PMZeroZeroNi And that extra model allows you to do what exactly?? Answer this question. The G43 also has the benefit of mobile close-mid firepower over lmg. But it's considered shit. The current G43 is considered shit because Grens have low EHP. The weapon profile then forces you to close in, losing the EHP so that you can't stay in the fight for long. 5 men Grens allow(ed) you to do exactly that: close in, because they gave a whole lot of EHP prior to the nerf.

Cromwell and others don't have their description anymore and just an error message. You can edit the loc file yourself. You just need to change the respective text for the specific key. In your case, note down the missing key and add the text next to the key in the file. In: Modding and Tools

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback16 Apr 2021, 12:22 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2021, 12:06 PMZeroZeroNi Here is why this is bad. What does it suppose to represent actually. It's not like they exert constant bleed that a rate figure has any value. It represents how quickly the unit is able to destroy resources in case the tank is destroyed. And, in case we assume that T34/P4 are balanced towards their purchase cost (meaning price relates to performance), it gives an indication of how quickly the firepower can be killed or at least forced to retreat, i.e. taken out of the fight. All respective to the cost of the TD. I think the second assumption is fair. Mediums are in an okay spot in most game modes, at least in the smaller modes where you could see a stug and SU76.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback16 Apr 2021, 10:39 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2021, 10:27 AMVipper Point here is that both stug/SU-76 can zone enemy tanks up to a point, SU-76 can do it while being cheaper and with less pop. In sort it might not be as powerful as the more expensive Stug but it is a cost efficient TD with the added utility of barraging enemy units. Which is exactly what I said 6 posts ago: unless you regularly take pot shots with the SU76, the StuG is the overall better and more efficient choice. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback16 Apr 2021, 10:23 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2021, 10:18 AMVipper TTK is also a bad indicator on it own because it assumes that TD will kill the tank... It is an indicator of how quickly you do damage before the enemy has to retreat as well. And if you want to pull out an extreme example with high reload like the Elefant: yes, alpha damage is very important. But the two units in question have similar ROF, so extreme cases do not apply here. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback16 Apr 2021, 10:17 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2021, 10:06 AMVipper There are so many theoretical simplifications here to draw any safe conclusion. (The math you are using are also unclear) Cost efficient is simply difficult to quantify but if you want simpler approach the PzIV/SU-76 cost ratio is much batter than T-34/76/Stug and SU-76 can zone out the PzIV from longer range. If one want to attempt to dive a tank to kill the the one still risks more in the case of the PzIV to cause less bleed to the enemy. Obviously there are quite some other factors. The Stug has to stand in ATG and TD range for the first shot, the SU only in ATG range. The math is simply dividing cost by TTK and comparing it to the costs of the respective TD The resource ratio you use is a very bad indicator, because it assumes similar TTK. In: COH2 Balance
