Thread: HMGs - remove capping ability15 Dec 2016, 00:29 AM In COH1 units had to 'use' a territory point to capture it. Units capping were more or less like repairing units or units in red cover. I don't see why this mechanic can't be reintroduced in addition to the cap circles. Cap circles offer no debuffs, and they allow for capping progress to be frozen. This is not a bad mechanic. BUT, if units could pack up their team weapons or plain infantry could 'active' cap to break this 'freeze' it might prove to be a meaningful game mechanic. A player might decide it's worth to put a squad into considerable harms way to get that last 1% before retreating. At least I think so. It doesn't have to be either-or. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should squads gain XP for repairing?15 Dec 2016, 00:23 AM I get that. But I also remember many people trying to investigate or discuss what they seemed to notice as a problem with vet. I personally threw away a mod in frustration because I couldn't get my conscripts to reinforce with the PPSh upgrade I'd made for them. (Because it affected the entities that wouldn't be upgraded on reinforcement.) People tried to discuss it but threads would get shut down or derailed by specific now-bant people who refused to consider that people thinking vet was broken were right. They'd go to lengths to show how the spreadsheet numbers 'proved' that vet wasn't broken. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: 222; The best iteration15 Dec 2016, 00:18 AM Ah the 222. A unit that attempts to be both the Scout Car and Armored Car of PE, but ends up trying to fill the role of the 2cm Puma from Wehrmacht. /coh1 speak. In: Lobby
Thread: Balance Patch Brainstorm: Swapping Sniper and Maxim14 Dec 2016, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2016, 15:15 PMFalseAlarm You don't fix a broken meta/strat by introducing an even more broken strat. With the sniper nerfs, people want to swap it with the maxim and then just buid T1, which provides AT, AI specialist, an accurate scout car and a strong HMG. Sounds silly. I guess it depends on your definition of AT. AT satchels alone aren't really going to counter anything. I am against this notion if there are ptrs on penal or an m42 in t1. Penal shouldn't hard counter vehicles. The idea is that maxim spam comes without zis support option. It necessitates going t1 and t2 to have all the infantry based options. I mean the scout car faces grens and volks with fausts, so I'm not sure how the m3 becomes so powerful if you switch maxims and the sniper team. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: WinterBalance 1.214 Dec 2016, 16:29 PM No! The point is satchels aren't a counter they are a deterrent. Penal don't have to have nor do they need a hard counter for vehicles. Just a deterrent from being yolod. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: WinterBalance 1.214 Dec 2016, 14:47 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2016, 12:50 PM__deleted__ There is not problem overruning, problem is they have zero chance at all ranges, if you give them only satchels they still get rekted by lights because they can just keep distance and bleed them Penals can't use sight or shot blockers? Do you try to chase light vehicles down with Shocks? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Balance Patch Brainstorm: Swapping Sniper and Maxim14 Dec 2016, 14:45 PM As opposed to T2 into T34/85s? I don't get the retort. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should squads gain XP for repairing?14 Dec 2016, 03:59 AM Of course it would be. I made that last point to illustrate a point, not suggest it as an alternative. God that would be awful. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: WinterBalance 1.214 Dec 2016, 03:53 AM People thought that Sturmpioneer panzerschrecks were going to be a perfect solution and be used consistently in competitive meta. Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2016, 16:04 PM__deleted__ We gave penals PTRS to give player some chance to survive in tier1 and make tier1 more lucrative because right now you either spam guards or backtech to tier2 or die. Simply there is nothing that good to keep tier1 useful when soviets have mg + cons (whitch are not that worse than penals) and AT guns. Also tier1 player loses 180MP and engineer building time in beggining. And If we don´t want to make tier1 cheesy tier with OP early game and trash lategame we must give it some kind of AT AT Satchels. Done. Penals can't just be overrun by light vehicle rushes. Lategame AI viability untouched. Also IS lack AT grenade (reliable). It deterrents only heavy and mediums rushing because of its long wind up time preventing it being used against fast moving targets. Yeah, also PIATs. In: COH2 Gameplay
