Thread: Necessary changes for OKWYesterday, 23:21 PM Jump back to quoted postYesterday, 22:41 PMKatukov I liked the forced retreat if the officer model dies, it punished blobbing, something pfusiliers are basically made for. at least it doesn't have the funny free aura around it, but instead it has "hey you will retreat 1 squad and be outnumbered lololol", which gets annoying if spammed. Why the pfusiliers have minute 0 snare is beyond me. It has a considerably longer range than a volks pfaust... Forced retreat was an awful idea. It didn't specifically punish blobbing, it just added a really aggravating level of RNG to infantry engagements. You can't control whether or not your Officer gets sniped, so all that happened was that sometimes you lost infantry engagements for absolutely no reason other than your enemy's infantry decided to target the wrong model.

Thread: Tank suggestion for Axis: Jagdpanzer 38t Hetzer3 Aug 2021, 22:51 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2021, 22:11 PMStetoGuy I would like to see this tank in the game but I wonder what role it would have? I guess we do not know everything about the German factions yet but considering it is rather similar to the StuG III in the sense that it has a similar gun on a non-turreted, cheap chassis, then where could it fit into the faction? I guess Relic could make the StuG more of a support weapon than pure AT and have the Hetzer as a pure AT option, but idk. Last thing I want is a another M10 situation in CoH2 where we have a TD that struggles to find a use because its role is overshadowed by other things. If I remember correctly I only ever used Hetzers over StuG IVs in CoH1 because they cost manpower instead of fuel and were a call-in but god forbid we have that again. IF there are two German faction (And there likely will be) It's perfectly possible one might have the Hetzer, and the other have the StUG. In: COH3 Central

Thread: Why free medic is harder to get for some faction?1 Aug 2021, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2021, 16:37 PMAshmole Yeah and so does every other faction. Few Soviet players will keep their half-track solely for that ability. They'll upgrade it to a quad which takes healing away. Every other faction except OST only has an HT doctrinally though, SOV and OST have it base. OKW doesnt even have a "halftrack" doctrinally, the Opel is the closest thing, and it's closer to the Ambulance, really. Surely it doesnt matter that Soviet players "don't do it", anyway. They have it as a mobile healing option regardless. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why free medic is harder to get for some faction?31 Jul 2021, 23:06 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2021, 22:30 PMAshmole I think the main issue I have with OPs post is the assumption that because the Soviet healing is the cheapest it is therefore the best out of all the factions. Soviets pay onky 200 for a medic but can't move it and have zero abilities to heal on the battlefield (other than urban doctrine). You have to retreat units off the battlefield to retreat which can make it difficult to have good map control if done too often Soviets can now heal on the battlefield with their Halftrack.

Thread: Fallshirms are OKW power creep31 Jul 2021, 12:06 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2021, 07:22 AMMassaDerek Blobber had 40% more manpower investment than a support player in 3v3, big shock coming to you clearly.FJ are imbalanced especially late game but that's a completely different story.You can't get ranked in the first place if you only play 3 matches and leave.You can only get so much rank in exactly 17(I just checked to verify) matches even with a 70-80% winrate which is a very good winrate for allied teams that aren't sub 100. I didn't say that rank 800 was a "good" rank, I said that people agreed with me that sub 800 was "good"-they weren't agreeing with me on this on the forum, but on a discord server and two of them were sub 100 USF/UKF players, learn to read. I love how you assume what and how I play like off a forum post without even seeing a replay of me playing, playing with me or against me, no nothing to prove anything. "fyi i was playing like a retard 4+ years ago when half the playerbase didn't even have a rank lol bro your so bad" You realize how dumb you sound right? So you understand that you spent 40% less than him on infantry (Even discounting upkeep bleed differences) and are still insistent that FJ are imbalanced because he was able to defeat you? You werent playing as a "Support player", you were playing as a drain on your teammates and letting three enemies put their full weight on the equivalent of two and a half people. This strategy of yours only works on weaker players. You played badly and so you lost, not because the enemy picked Luftwaffe. EDIT: Feel free to upload some replays to demonstrate how "well" you were actually playing. That game specifically would be preferable, but apparently you didnt save it. EDIT2: Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2021, 07:09 AMMassaDerek The circumstance that he only has to pay 320MP and pay 60MUNI whilst having a online PzAuth to get terminator elite inf whilst I have to spend 45+ fuel and 270MUNI+be in green cover to fight against him and have a measurable chance to win or get Brenmandos, not manpower or where I spent it.I don't expect stock IS to win against them and that wasn't the point of the thread. You really should be adding in the PzAuth costs (and the timing) if you're adding in the fuel for Bolster/Weapon Racks, by the way. They cannot just be discounted because "Oh well they don't JUST unlock things for Fallschirmjager". Allied and Axis teching is designed differently, but pretending that axis "dont pay" for their ability to upgrade weapons is disingenuous. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshirms are OKW power creep31 Jul 2021, 02:04 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2021, 00:33 AMMassaDerek Considering the fact that ranks go up to 5000, rank 470 is 75th percentile atleast.Anything below rank 800 or so is "good" according to basically everybody I've talked to.Considering how few matches I've actually played with my teammates(less than 20 at this point in this particular premade lobby) thats great actually. Playing enough matches on it's own i.e. rotting on the game can get you up to this point, regardless of your rank or winrate, because the ranking system is stupid. Nice strawman btw, the point of my post wasn't that "elite inf beat my unupgraded IS wtff relic" but rather as to the circumstances of as to how they do it. The circumstance of how they did it was that he invested way more into his infantry than you did though, by virtue of you spending 500MP on Caches. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why free medic is harder to get for some faction?29 Jul 2021, 18:50 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2021, 17:28 PMMr Carmine Okw has other powerfull traits other factions lack. So its actualy balanced that their medics require a specific path imo. If you you want your stock superheavy (wich no other faction has btw) you need all your truck deployed anyway. Its just a choice to go 1 way or the other how to get that stock superheavy What okw also has is that 2 out their 3 stock inf have self heal with vet next to the sturm medpacks. Most factions and specificly su and usf need to tech a certain direction or backtech for at guns. AT guns != Healing, is what I'm saying. I don't think that comparison is particularly fair at all. Also: Vet 5 healing really isnt arguable to be a replacement for base healing at all. Self-heal should be removed, however. In: COH2 Balance

You don't need bolster and double brens for them to be "halfway decent" The 17 pounder (like all Emplacements) is not great, and decent players will be able to deal with them pretty cost effectively. The firefly is... Ok, though the SU-85 and Jackson especially are leagues ahead of it. Brenmandos are very strong, though very expensive... Though SOV not having optimal INF DPS really doesn't matter. That isnt really what their infantry are for. The Comet isnt the same sort of tank as the Panther. What sort of weird strawman is the idea that you need "15 AT guns and 5 TDs", anyway? Weren't you complaining about the Vickers not being very good earlier on? The reason not to play UKF is because they are a fundamentally flawed faction, even if they "fit your playstyle". In: COH2 Balance
