Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta2 Jul 2021, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 15:21 PMVipper I am not sure I follow. Why would one build a mortar to counter and ATG that has not been build yet? Unless OKW has also build an ATG as one his first 2 units which probably means he does not how to play... If we are talking about 2 ATG on the field we are talking way past the early game. Sorry, I wasn't clear. The army OP was talking about was 2 mg 2 at, and Katitof brought up mortars, you are right building a mortar that early for the first OKW mg would be to early since it will not come out until after 1st truck but what about against OST? You will not get reliable wipes to prevent the build which is understandable. He is saying to build mortar to counter the build which is pretty unreliable for all factions. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: SMG Penal clown car vs OKW2 Jul 2021, 15:20 PM If you look at my posts my favorite unit is SMG Penal since no one seems to like it or use it. This game I used clown car to decap until CP2 and ran around the map with SMG penal clown car. In: Replays

Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta2 Jul 2021, 14:30 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 13:51 PMVipper And OKW have no mortar... USF mortar is one of the most cost efficient mortar out there with not tech cost and lower price so pls avoid claim for "massive advantage in MP"... The advantage would not come from unit cost, once more the OP is talking about specific army composition. We know it is coming so we are attempting to counter it. So when do you build the mortar, it can't be one of your first 2 units because the OKW player will notice the infantry advantage and push hard with opening units which will lead to the massive advantage in MP I was talking about. At no point was I describing the unit itself which is cheap and available. Is it after the normal build of 3 infantry into LT/CPT, which is about the time the 1st mg comes out? It is the natural counter, so at this point it comes down to if you get lucky with hits or not, unless the mg is in a building which helps. Any later than this and the pak howi is available if you went CPT which has WP shells which is probably the best way to actually break a turtle due to damage and smoke in one. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta2 Jul 2021, 11:43 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 07:01 AMKatitof Did they removed mortar from T1? I wonder what the TTK is for 1 mortar to kill 1 at gun, then TTK in fog of war, the TTK using the army composition discussed which was 2 at and 2mg. Pretty much you will have to make 2 with varying levels of success. If it is USF vs OKW that is a massive advantage in MP which will lead to steam rolling since USF mortar has most scatter.

Not with the timing they are talking about, if you are Ost you have no arty at that timing unless you go T4 which is a gamble. The opponent can make a tank as first vehicle while your hoping your shot lands. For soviets its not to big of a deal because you need it for the other meds anyways so getting Katy first can cause huge bleed. OKW is the weird one because they can just retreat if shit goes sideways so high reward low risk but shitty unit. USF is the one with the hardest problem due to their arty kind of sucking for 1v1 in regards to squad wipes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta30 Jun 2021, 22:23 PM I think the issue is the at guns are to mobile, they can easily reposition with the rest of the army. So I propose increasing there "pick up" time, that way if a flank is in the process of happening the user doesn't just pick up and go. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A question about Mainline Infantry Vet26 Jun 2021, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2021, 01:42 AMLady Xenarra I was not aware there was a stated cap on the amount of models lost other than Squad death. So up to +5 multiplier. Your suggestion would make them too powerful and frankly would roll Axis players regardless of skill. That or the price would have to be increased to compensate, which is almost as bad. 0.8 is elite infantry model size, even infantry sections need to be in cover to get that or 0.85 outside of that iirc. You counted Panzergrenadiers as elite inf and they get 0.8 model size for a 4 man squad. Vet 1 is easy to get on a T0/T1 as well. Penal accuracy and other values would have to rebalanced as they would then be doing far too much damage compared with their current survivability scaling. 3 man squad can still be very dangerous, esp against another squad fairly worn down. Overall I think the unit is fine. More changes to survivability would homogenise the unit to some generic allied mainline and overshadow conscripts as much as they used to. I was think of making the target size .8 at Vet3 when they would be going up against tanks/elite AI troops. I believe the different Guards have better than .8 target size but at work so not much time to check. I agree with you on your last point, having a lot of units to similar is boring. What do you think about at Vet3 having a small decrease in reinforce cost to say 23mp? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A question about Mainline Infantry Vet26 Jun 2021, 01:19 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2021, 01:10 AMLady Xenarra PG's timing leaves them in a sort of halfway zone between T0s like cons and T4s like Obers, but the distribution doesn't change much even removing them from the list. Cons do damage fine, especially from behind cover and that -30% weapon cooldown in cover from Mobile Reserves. You mean like this? 6 man fusilier does contribute to their great scaling. Their start is utterly rubbish however, these things balance out. As I've said earlier, volks late game is ~~non-existent~~awful and fusiliers look even better thanks to this. Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking more along the lines of the start of the fight and just remove it from the ability. Even with the ability and maximum lost squad which is 3 I believe the Target size would be .77/.775 depending on how it is calculated. Starting off with a Target size of .8 would allow maximum damage for a bit longer to help against stronger units. Once down to the 3rd man it would be worse but you would most likely be retreating at that point anyways. Any thought on that? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A question about Mainline Infantry Vet26 Jun 2021, 01:01 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2021, 00:39 AMLady Xenarra Disclaimer: Typing at the end of 9.5 hour shift. To answer your questions clearly the issues are this: Cons have an ABSOLUTELY abysmal base (1.09 model is just awful when the main base is 1) and only beat grens/volks by simple virtue of outnumbering them and getting up close. For years they were a meme unit because their late game was just so weak despite successive buffs. 7 man went a very long way and they're fine now. Their base damage is pretty low, esp at far and the vet buffs go a long way towards making them a reasonable unit. This graph is of the base damage values and it's clear that in a distance cover shootout they'll get crushed hard. Volks have 31-70% more damage if 1:1 squad comparison. Obviously 6 men but you'll lose a guy fast with base model size. Vet II+ obers and pzgrens will still walk over even vet III 7 men cons. Penals start off extremely well but they scale not as well. (Used to be even worse, imagine running around with 1 model size inf vs pzgrens and obers!!!) That price for their fantastic base has to come somewhere and scaling is one of them, as is the cost of the unit. Considering they start as 6 men and have this firepower below? Strong scaling would make them ridiculously OP. Of key importance is the fact that volks and fusilier do not have the same Kar 98. That's up to 25.7% more damage at close range. Yes the upgrade is more powerful for fusiliers than volks but it also costs more and the 6th man is not free. It is true that fusiliers scale very hard but that says more about how weak volks are late game than anything else. It's also not true that 40% accuracy is unusual for mainlines Grenadier: +40% Osttruppen: +40% Conscript: Already stated as 40% Riflemen: 30% Fusilier: 40% Panzergrenadier: +16.7% then +20%, making +40% overall Volksgrenadier: +30% Infantry Sections have weaker scaling (25% accuracy etc.) in great part imho because of how powerful their base is. Penal: Last man stat bundle, +30% and then +20% I get what your saying and thanks for posting the graphs. To counter, PG are considered Elite right not mainline and Grenadier have a Vet3 target size of .91 and a squad size of 4 so they can't trade as long as the others so it would make sense. Also why do PF get an extra man with the upgrade wouldn't that contribute to their great scaling vs VG. For the Cons, I would expect them to get walked over due to cost of Obers and PG and the fact that they aren't supposed to be used as damage dealers. I feel like Penal scaling would easily be addressed with a buff to Rec Acc like 5% or a reduction in reinforce. Edit: Part of my issue or confusion is using the Penal as intended can cause massive late game bleed. The Vet1 ability encourages you to stay fighting as long as possible. The other thing, do you know what the bonuses are and how much they increase per model drop? In: COH2 Gameplay
