Thread: Why Blobbing is so Prominent in Coh28 Sep 2016, 16:10 PM One thing: Craters are terrain level cover, not objects. Infantry only perform their clumping behavior when there's an object to be interacting with. What happens with moonscapes is that infantry don't move anywhere once an engagement starts because cover is everywhere. An A-moving MG will likely clump up, but manually setting up the MG in a direction helps designate positions for the crew that isn't so clumpy. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Infantry rebalance needed8 Sep 2016, 16:06 PM Depending on what stats you look at, Obers can be identical to Tommies. Their entities still have just 80 health. Which is actually rather significant. As strong as Obers are, (or as weak as Ostruppen are) their entities all have 80 health. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadier 4-man Squad: A thing of the past. 8 Sep 2016, 15:48 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Sep 2016, 11:52 AMTiger Baron Hey, balance expert, how about we test these changes first eh? I know how we can do that! Make a mod and give us the link so we see if it'll be fixed like you said it would be. Otherwise all that you're saying here is thin air without any proof to back it up with. I was a strong proponent of a fifth man for grenadiers for a while. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=405996712 (Spoiler: They're stronger versions of volks and get LMGs. The cost of 280mp isn't enough.) Not so much anymore, unless Assault grens becomes a unit upgrade that adds the 5th man. That way Ostheer can have their mp40 squad without losing their faust. Different, but maybe not better. I much prefer changes that help alleviate the more underlying issues with the faction or even all the factions. Improving entity spread in cover and while pathing is critical. Things that I actually think would help Ostheer immensely: Recrewing team weapons using 2 men instead of 3 for Ostheer. Merge ability for Grens (Maybe one that can only be used on team weapons.) Self-healing medpacks or Sturmpio variety of medpacks. In: COH2 Balance

These forums tend to rely on garbage statistics to fuel perpetual argumentation, unfortunately. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Some thoughts about Miragefla's Balance mod4 Sep 2016, 22:38 PM Well there was miragefla's mod, the balance preview beta, and then what was actually implemented into the game. The universal changes that affected all factions, suppression reducing grenade range in particular, were enormously beneficial to the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF mortar still not fixed3 Sep 2016, 16:56 PM You know, if you put REs in some bit of cover, usually outside the cap circle, they can really put some damage on the Sturmpios. There's been plenty of games where I've dealt heavy damage and/or dropped a model or two as they endured fire finishing the cap. Other times I've managed to draw the Spios out of the cap circle to push off my REs, which as far as I'm concerned is mission accomplished. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [2vs2] RIP Axis1 Sep 2016, 17:49 PM Obers need the panzerschrecks. Would this make OKW more like Ost? Yeah, pretty much. But what could be done is that OKW could become a clone of CoH1 Wehr. They're almost there. Obers in the Medic Truck able to schrecks, swap the walking stuka with the JP4. It'd be a linear, but flexible progression of OKW tech. (And the MG34 can go and die somewhere alone. Or go T0.) Ostheer just need to have their pgrens come with rifles, a Tiger with frontal armor, and a Panther that either shoots faster or aims better on the move. The StuG is their flavor and backbone. It could potentially use a small health or frontal armor buff, but that's probably unnecessary. Then the inevitable will be complete. Let the Ostheer be about StuGs and suppression, the OKW about the Luchs rush versus a defensive role with medics, stronger infantry, and indirect fire. ...At least as far as the Axis are concerned. USF is a whole other can of beans. CoH2 is a tangled web of half-balanced half-broken designs. If I'm just being all nutty and crazy with my thoughts, OKW units could be locked at vet 3, and vet 4 and 5 could be side upgrades for infantry and vehicles respectively. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: (2)Kolberg Outskirts26 Aug 2016, 19:50 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2016, 15:10 PMTric Feedback from stream [Done.] Scenario name needs renamed to have the same naming style as relic [Done.] Need to remove the third munitions [@9] Would add 2 more territory points, you currently have 8, the recommended is 10 [Done.] Capturable area cover is not balanced between the mirrors, this needs adjusted. [Sorta.] North edge of the map has alot of unused area, would give more value to it so the flanks are used more often, or would pull in the area to make the map feel a bit smaller I closed it in slightly, but have still allowed for a flanking/hideaway region for players to utilize at their intent. I replaced the central munitions point with a regular territory point, putting the count to 9. Did some more cosmetic adjustments, and pushed the base starting points a bit closer to the center to help tighten up the map. In: Map Contest 2016
Thread: Company of Heroes III - Your expectations25 Aug 2016, 17:01 PM Commander system could be improved just by having you spend your CPs. Have access to all three, but have to invest the CPs in each. Commanders more or less follow a formula of 'Usually useless ability, call in infantry, upgrade/recon/light vehicle, medium call-in/arti, heavy call-in/arti'. Spreading out CPs would delay the late-game, but provide a number of other strategic options. I'm speaking as a system for dynamic gameplay, not a balanced suggestion for the existing game, btw.
