Thread: Remove the flamer from penals or14 Aug 2016, 13:53 PM Penal Battalions and the whole of T1 have no AT. If there's any Soviet T1 unit the Axis player can be assured that light vehicles will be a good decision. If the Soviet brings out Guards, note that the Soviet will need to split its forces between Penals, Guards, and maybe conscripts for an actual snare. That's a huge amount of manpower to maintain, not to mention the Soviet player will only be able to counter you if they have 3+ units together. If they split up their capabilities are likewise just as split. In my opinion, Penals need it so if a satchel charge is thrown onto a vehicle and lands literally 'on' the vehicle, it should stick to it until the timer runs out. I've been trying to figure out how to do it ingame, but the best I can do is have satchel charges be literally sticky nades when targeting vehicles, which isn't really the goal. If Penals had a form of AT in this sense, their flamethrowers would certainly need an analysis. But currently Penals are designed to just troll the face off of garrisons because of their lack of AT.

Thread: has RELIC given up on COH2-DOW3 has been announced ?13 Aug 2016, 16:43 PM The efforts leading up to 2.602 and then up until beta were very optimistic and involved. I remember that energy without the aid of rose tinted glasses. But one thing I know though is that this was not well broadcast or made public outside of gamereplays. And that has not helped at all. People aren't wrong for feeling snubbed and nor are people wrong for not knowing about any of the dealings before coh2 release. In: Lobby
Thread: Shock Troops 13 Aug 2016, 11:10 AM No at. That is their bane. Not only are they expensive they need at support or they'll bleed mp like crazy. They are like any other infantry squad without a form of at: situational at best and highly exploitable by your opponent. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Panther(both factions) vs Comet 13 Aug 2016, 10:59 AM The annoying thing about the comet is that the brits still have Cromwells and fireflies at their strategic disposal. Just the threat of comets makes ost t4 seem like a poor decision. Oh the bits and their ability to dictate their opponents gameplan. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther(both factions) vs Comet 12 Aug 2016, 15:24 PM Panthers were actually scary when the meta was to rush for IS2s and ISUs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T70 Nerf12 Aug 2016, 14:36 PM Well c'mon people you all know Soviets need a few conscripts squads to cap to get that fuel, so the T70 costs 720 manpower more than you think. Obviously this means that the T70 costs 1810mp and 215fuel. Obviously. I mean seriously, everyone should already factor this in by default. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: G43s on Panzer Grenadiers?12 Aug 2016, 14:31 PM G43s don't require sitting still to fire. If your opponent is being cheesy with indirect fire it's one of the best ways to both deal damage with your grens and keep them alive for more than a volley. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why Blobbing is so Prominent in Coh212 Aug 2016, 01:43 AM I think a lot of burst fire weapons have 'focus fire' set to 'true'. I could be wrong though. But focus firing burst fire weapons will hit (or miss) only the targeted squads entities. This can make focus firing very effective. I'll have to check that next time I have time off from work.

Thread: Let's Test! 45mm ATG, Sd.Kfz 222, andISG performance11 Aug 2016, 01:04 AM It's kind of interesting how much the game has changed since even May. Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2016, 22:28 PMFiresparks I think you're losing sight on what the 222 should be. https://www.coh2.org/topic/55548/t70-nerf people are getting tired of the light vehicle power creep. "fixing" the 222 mg is just going to add to it. the vanilla 222 "works" because it's mostly a defensive vehicle. It keep the wehr alive by killing other vehicle but doesn't dominate infantry (except the brits). I'm not entirely sure the 222 is what is 'should be' or is intended to be. I find that it is a particularly inelegant kludge in its current state, especially given that its MG has been effectively broken. in addition, if you look at the 222 coaxial dps (chart below), you would notice that the 222 have ~20 dps at close range. that's a lot of dps. No doubt. I'm not exactly arguing that these are changes that should be made, or that they are balanced and game-ready. I'm merely attempting to implement them in a testable format so that people can actually see, instead of theorizing, how they would impact the game. I just get tired of endless spreadsheet calculations on the forums when there is little to no testing in an ingame environment. I'd rather adjust from here than be perpetually at the drawing board. But I'll be back at work and out to sea for another week or so if I decide to add or alter this any more, I'll get to it then. Until then, I still invite people to test things out as an alternative to debate. In: COH2 Balance
