Thread: December Balance Preview3 Nov 2017, 17:10 PM How does one spam 175+ fuel units without controlling the entire maps worth of fuel income? Even in 4v4s I really only see multiple panthers in games where axis either dominated fuel control or never had their fuel contested. In: Lobby
Thread: Conscript's DPS in the new patch. 3 Nov 2017, 15:32 PM For all this balancing around dps, I'd love to know how field presence and capping power are being quantified. Because, you know, coh2 is a game of holding territory. In: Lobby
Thread: Conscript's DPS in the new patch. 3 Nov 2017, 14:09 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Nov 2017, 13:53 PMVipper One could start by changing size to 1 and making merge more appealing. Good lord I wish merge didn't just wipe conscripts. If it merged down to 1 man it'd be so much more useful. Cons regardless of their dps would synergize better with every soviet unit. Anyway I find the con changes makes them much better against units in cover and worse against units in red cover. It's kind of a passive overall buff to the fact they can create their own green cover. 240 mp for a 6 man squad of eating axis dps is, and has always been, their greatest strength. In: Lobby

Thread: 20% reinforce cost increase3 Nov 2017, 00:41 AM Holy crap it is indeed a global change. Just confirmed ingame. Even units in your HQ have the penalty. I was thinking it was just from the FHQ. Kek. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Some questions for relic/community2 Nov 2017, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2017, 20:35 PMelchino7 Hey, we had been having this discussion since 2013 and probably the guys behind the scene during the life vcoh as well. True, but up until 2015/2016 COH2 had actual relic devs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Some questions for relic/community2 Nov 2017, 19:36 PM The process has been unclear for nearly two years. The only structure that's been really been described is that the mod team submits a tuning pack to relic. Relic then implements what they want, how they want. That is about it. As for what kind of direction or involvement from the community or relic actually exists, well, your guess is as good as anyone elses. But it should be worth noting there have been a great number of people who have contributed to the design and balance of the coh franchise that are not official. The idea that the mod team is the only ones putting forth effort, now or before is grossly false. IMO, the mod team functions mostly as buffer between relic and the community rather than as a liason.

Thread: December Balance Preview1 Nov 2017, 17:01 PM Until panthers get to vet 2 they're still dead in 4 shots from jacksons. 640 health jacksons will likewise take 4 shots from panthers to kill. But Jacksons having 640 health has nothing to do with panthers. The team wants jacksons to be able to take 2 elefant/jagdtiger shells and survive. This is why elefants and jagdtiger damage is reduced to 300. This was the only reason back in FBP, and it's the only reason now. The panther stuff seems more like a smoke and mirrors attempt to shunt through that significant change. In: Lobby
Thread: December Balance Preview1 Nov 2017, 01:14 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2017, 22:32 PMsherlock The changes tone down repair speeds of the other factions closer to ost and soviet levels, which is a good thing in my book. There are also no changes to soviet repairs, so there does not seem to be a bias Oh I'm not suggesting any bias. I'm just noting that repair speeds are another disparity that skews how viable (either variant of) the Panther can be, and it may not be taken into account. To my knowledge the panther has the highest armour value of any non-doctrinal tank in the game. It is by no means reliant on attaining vet 2 to "do things", if it wasn't doing things it's hard to imagine it would ever hit vet2 . If the game files in the mod tools are not severely outdated it has even 20 more armour than a tiger and at 800 hp the highest amount of health of any non-doctrinal tank as well. (please keep in mind that it might be that the game files in the mod tools are outdated, personally I didn't expect the panther to have more health than any other medium tank) Defensively speaking, the panther is fine. It's just unreliable as anything other than a damage sponge. And with the increased armor with vet armor that role was further solidified. That's all I mean. Vet 2 panthers had that much better chance to bounce key shots so that they could stay in the fight long enough to get another round or two off. (Which would likely miss. ) The Tiger, incidentally is another unit that's suffered on Ostheer's roster due to WFA and UKF. In: Lobby
