Thread: Tactical Support Completly Broken 30 Nov 2015, 00:12 AM It's working as intended. It's sector based iirc and cost a shit ton of munis. It's powerful but hey, it should be. Don't put all your shit in one sector. Use smoke etc to protect your stuff when stunned. I haven't used the ability a ton so I'm not sure how "fair" it is in terms of reaction time, chain stun etc but unless those are particularly egregious I think it's fine. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: British mortar29 Nov 2015, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2015, 23:06 PMtenid I'd point out that while the mortar pit can take hits and continue to fire, any attempt to repair it under fire will result in a lot of dead engineers . Depends on how they're attacking it and how lucky you are. If they're doing a barrage unless they place it dead center you have a pretty good chance of repairing. You can also just repair in between barrages. Most people don't keep up their barrage micro if you're attacking them elsewhere. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British mortar29 Nov 2015, 22:58 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2015, 22:32 PMferwiner It is immobile, expensive and gets completely shut down by less expensive artillery units. Only situation when it is worth using is when you are completely sure your opponent is stupid enough not to build his own mortar. I wouldn't see it gets completely shutdown by arty units. They're a counter, but they're like a bazooka up against a medium tank. Good-ish but hardly definitive. With the flame damage nerf the incendiary halftrack round isn't even as scary. The only thing that truly threatens it is an ISG, but iirc it needs vet to outrange it. In general though if your opponent invests roughly equal or more manpower in indirect fire, they will beat it. But the mortar pits strength is that it can take hits while still dishing them out, and can even be repaired while doing so. The best way to beat a mortar pit is to get within the minimum range with anything that does raw damage. MG42's are remarkably good up close. If you're just lobbing mortars/ISG's at him you're wasting time and not using those units very effectively. (Plus if he can shoot back you're not going to win that fight.) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hope for USF AT-Gun?29 Nov 2015, 15:46 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2015, 17:01 PMFoxbat feels pretty weird to have the same unit historically performing pretty differently. Would it really kill the game for both to use the current 6pdr stats? Personally I care more about factions having uniaue playstyles and tools than I do about accurate representation. I feel like the 6lber was lazy as shit in comparison to how well the other AT guns are balanced. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: inefficiency of panthers29 Nov 2015, 00:07 AM A panther isn't cost effective, but it shouldn't be. It's not about being cost effective: it's about being so beefy that your opponent can't do shit about it. Also I would advise against decreasing the cost of Ost t4. The reason it has a similar cost to ost t3 is simple. It is entirely viable to skip Ost t3 for T4. If you decrease the cost, you actually make this easier. This is why they have nearly identical costs for tech, with the main difference being unit costs. You could justify decreasing the cost of t4 units themselves, but adjusting the tech building or battlephase would be a bad idea. It's really important to keep in mind that Battlephase being divorced from structure costs is what allows Ostheer to have some semblance of tech diversity. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic's stream summary27 Nov 2015, 08:09 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2015, 06:22 AMSpaceHamster Pathing improved? I thought it would be on the backburner forever and ever. Does this mean my jackson won't move at turd speed when it meets small objects it can't crush; aka trees(and turning like there's a tomorrow when it does )? Don't get too excited. Relic's pathfinding actually isn't the problem, it's the restraints they put on movement. If units had high rotation speeds and acceleration like in most other RTS the pathfinding would work just fine. But because of the playstyle Relic aims for (as well as authenticity) we end up with these sorts of problems. The pathfinding itself has always been pretty good. I don't know many other games where vehicle A moving through an area vehicle B is in will cause vehicle B to adjust itself so that A can get around it properly without vehicle B having to be told to move.
