Thread: Why on earth do sections need 50% moving acc? Seriously.28 Apr 2020, 09:23 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2020, 08:58 AMSkysTheLimit Lol that same person who hasn't played the brits regularly demands for people's playercards if he doesn't like what they're saying. He's getting exactly the respect he deserves, he's been trashing the balance team forever I don't think it's impossible to figure the balance in that case either, the messenger is what people are pushing back on. He only insults about 75% of the people he talks to kappa Then people should call out on the bullshit, not be childish and make straw man arguments themselves and take the personal problems to PMs. But this "side" discussion has dragged on long enough now. I'd rather go back to topic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why on earth do sections need 50% moving acc? Seriously.28 Apr 2020, 08:20 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2020, 00:29 AMSkysTheLimit That's what Storm was saying about i. Rounds. If he doesn't own the Brits, then he's most likely never played them at all Of course he never played them. How could he if he does not own them? This does not mean that you could not spot that something is wrong with a faction or single units. You should be more considerate and open minded since it is in general harder to get a decently based opinion on a unit, but not impossible. You still get a feel for raw performance, timing and general strength against that faction. And while there are obviously some things missing, this can be enough to have reasonable balance concerns. I would not phrase an opening post as absolute like OP did, but people were RE-ing against the general fact that somebody talks about a unit he did not buy, which in my eyes is absolutely wrong. What I said is that I have not seen enough IS yet to have a personal final opinion. But in general it is nice to see Brits being played again, they were quite rare in 2v2 and 1v1 before the recent patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Pershing.28 Apr 2020, 08:01 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2020, 03:47 AMMMX Both tanks have an angular scatter of 6, but the Pershing pulls ahead due to having a lower distance scatter (4.2 vs 5.5). Hence the size of the HE-Sherman's scatter cone is roughly 25% larger than that of the Pershing. AOE Profile (upper panel) and size of scatter area (lower panel) as a function of distance This is exactly what we need in these types of discussions. The only thing missing is the rate of fire. Here the Sherman wins with 6.175 seconds vs Pershings 7.0 seconds. So performance wise you trade a 13% higher reload vs ~25% higher scatter area and better AoE. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why on earth do sections need 50% moving acc? Seriously.27 Apr 2020, 22:28 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2020, 22:16 PMT.R. Stormjäger I agree with incendiary rounds that 50% moving acc for sections is a travesty. I disagree with him making suggestions for balance changes for a faction he doesn’t own. My position is valid. That's pretty much self-contradictory but then again that's not my cup of tea. As long as he makes a reasonable point, he can post whatever he wants. I have not played enough with and against Brits lately to have a final opinion of IS. From what I saw on Twitch they seemed to be quite strong, while in the tourney Brits seemed not to be a big issue. But this probably means only little, many players stick with what they know for the tournament, and the Twitch streams were mostly team games were things get a bit wild from time to time. Patch is now two weeks old. If anyone has some real game data this would help a great deal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Unit vs unit engagements27 Apr 2020, 22:18 PM Stats on squads give you way less information about actual power than it would for vehicles. The problem is that a lot depends on model focusing and retaining DPS, as well as short movements from cover to cover and (grenade) abilities. Raw stats like DPS and effective health are only part of the equation. But otherwise you will have to do with coh2db.org. If you do not use units that have been heavily reworked in the last 2 years, it's mostly fine. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why on earth do sections need 50% moving acc? Seriously.27 Apr 2020, 22:14 PM Also this has now derailed far enough into personal insults. Clear that stuff up via PM -> back to topic In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why on earth do sections need 50% moving acc? Seriously.27 Apr 2020, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2020, 22:08 PMMusmula Oh ofc I agree totally. You can protest all you want. I got UKF as a gift and I happen to like them personally but not my fav faction. And also this is not the same UKF it was when it was released so that kinda messes up his argument even more. But making threads and posts and comments about UKF OP when he never even used a single unit? That seems absurd to me. You do not need to own a unit to see something is wrong with it. Nobody needed OKW to find out that the JLI were OP after they buffed them beginning of 2019. It's more difficult, but 100% doable, even if you want to deny it. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Are sections perfectly fine?27 Apr 2020, 20:54 PM Poll should go more like "Power state of infantry sections" to not influence the voters. Also I'd recommend changing the "perfectly fine" to "fine", because a unit being "perfectly" fine in CoH2 is an absolute rarity In: COH2 Balance
Thread: In depth - scatter and how it works27 Apr 2020, 20:53 PM The ground attack thingy had to be a bit catchy to keep people interested. Many usually skip these technical posts so you have to offer them something interesting they don't know. I have seen VonIvan and Luvnest often directly target a vehicle in the smoke instead of a spot behind it, sometimes they also do it correctly. It is possible that they actually know how to ground target properly but just did not remember it under stress, but I would assume that almost nobody knew how far you have to aim behind the vehicle. Still, for some top level players it might be useful information. And even more so for the rest of us 99% that just populate the low ranks. In: COH2 Gameplay
