Thread: One-shotting entire squads14 Oct 2014, 22:20 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2014, 22:10 PMacosn It is actually on topic- shooting down those aircraft is an awful idea because it'll one-shot entire squads if you're unlucky. But he didn't mention that. He is just bringing up AA capacity out of the blue in a thread about one-shooting. But yeah it does kind of suck that shooting a plane down can actually be more detrimental the the one shooting it down then just letting it do it's thing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: One-shotting entire squads14 Oct 2014, 22:04 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2014, 21:29 PMSierra You want to talk about some bull though, let's talk about how AA Guns from the OKW can't seem to bring down a single loitering aircraft. It's kinda pathetic when called in recon planes can complete their full recon loiter and fly away without a scratch, despite being shot at by tons of 2cm FlaK autocannons, or the big FlaK cannon on the Schwerer Panzer HQ for the OKQ. I've even went out of my way to build extra FlaK defenses to discourage aircraft only to have the enemies aircraft completely ignore it. For instance 4v4 on Hill-331 - My team secures the left side of the map. I bunker down with HQ trucks, barricades, MG bunkers, sandbags, mines, and tank traps. (Fortifications Doctrine) I set up three extra FlaK cannon emplacements, my teammate places two of his own, and we have 2x Schwerer Panzer HQ's with the big FlaK gun there. The Allies proceed to call aircraft run after aircraft run that complete their entire loiters despite being shot at by 7-AA guns, further more the Soviets call in precision bombing strikes, artillery strikes, and more because our anti air defenses apparently aren't thick enough to destroy a plane that constantly circles over the area getting shot at. The AA Defenses were spread over most of the left side, leaving zero missed opportunities to keep steady anti-air FlaK damage on the aircraft. Considering the significant manpower, 10-fuel, + popcap investment in these defenses. I found myself thoroughly disappointed in their performance. (Or lack thereof) Just make your own thread. This is completely off topic and will only derail the conversation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: One-shotting entire squads14 Oct 2014, 00:30 AM I find no problem with one shots. They don't happen all that often and it's the nature of the game. It what makes this game different then games like starcraft. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bye the community13 Oct 2014, 22:07 PM These are the stupidest threads. It's just a game you don't "leave" it. I haven't played in the last two days. You can just play it whenever you want. No one cares if you stop playing. In fact, that's normal, no matter how good the game is. In: Lobby
Thread: Solve balance issue regarding call-ins13 Oct 2014, 18:37 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2014, 18:35 PMPedro_Jedi Heavy call ins should be limited to 1 per game. I don't like hard caps. It's better to better to keep all builds possible, even if the chances of attaining them are slim. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Teching 13 Oct 2014, 18:29 PM As many have pointed out, this isn't a tech problem it's a unit balance issue: 1. Kubel- It's a T0 pure manpower unit. It shouldn't be forcing anyone to tech to counter it. Unfortunately it's overperforming, so many players are choosing to tech to hard-counter it, which makes things predictable for the OKW to counter their counters. 2. Bazookas- This upgrade would have saved your opponent from the counters you pulled out. It should have countered the puma making it real hard to chase the M20 and should have contributed in holding off the panther as well. Unfortunately, it is underperforming on pretty much all of it's aspects and it would have been a useless investment. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The overbearing balance of 4's13 Oct 2014, 18:03 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2014, 14:17 PMthomasthetank Lot's of stuff This is a spot on analysis. Great explanation on the difference between teamgames and 1v1 and why the scaling will never work without changes. Unfortunately I have to disagree on you solution. Not because it wouldn't balance team games but because it would require far too much work and would leave the games in a far less enjoyable state. To balance the maps for team games like they are in 1v1s you would have to essentially scrunch all the maps down so that the time to arrive in the battle is similar, and then spread out the map large enough for more flanking and harrasing to take place, essentially spliting up the players. All you will left with is a long but shallow looking map with every fighting their own 1v1s and slightly interacting with their neighbors. And that doesn't leave much room for variety in maps. Besides I don't think there is anything wrong with the 4v4 meta and maps. I think it's perfectly fine as is and both sides are able to succeed depending on teamwork and skill. That is until the late game hits and the axis side get's a variety of extremely powerful weapons that are easy to support with extremely effective support units and maintain even while taking losses, while the allied side either has to depend on doctrines to compete or simply unperformed compared to their opponents. The problem is in the late game, there is no need to change how 4v4 works in general. That's why I have been such an advocate for fuel upkeep. Which would help keep the resources flowing around in the late game under a much more controllable state. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The overbearing balance of 4's13 Oct 2014, 17:44 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2014, 16:43 PMJHeartless Actually if you look at the DPS they are very close. Due to the Bazookas higher ROF. The accuracy and Pen hurt it alot. Accuracy makes its low Pen and OK DPS not work against light vehicles due to their target size being small and the Pen makes them suck against heavier tanks that they can actually hit. I would like to see either an accuracy buff making them light vehicle counters that can do SOME damage against Mediums or more Pen so they can actually hurt Mediums well or Heavies. Right now they are not good at counter either class of armor. Overall DPS is largely meaningless when it come to infantry AT weapons. Most competent players won't maintain range for more then one round to go off. Whether reload be 5 seconds or 7. And in the case of Pschreks it's usually their high alpha damage that is so powerful.

Thread: The overbearing balance of 4's13 Oct 2014, 16:32 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2014, 16:15 PMGalbart What about simply doubling the effectiveness of (currently near-useless) Bazookas? This is a small change that would greatly increase USF's AT capabilities (e.g. allow for dedicated RE tank-hunter squads, give Rifles some AT oomph (at cost to AI), and allow for effective AT rifle flanks). Double is a little much. I think the best balance would be if they did the same damage as schreks, but had lower penetration. Though similiar pen and lower damage would still be better. The problem is that with low pen + low damage and now recently added low acccuracy makes them useless. In: COH2 Balance
