Thread: UKF in ML so far...23 Apr 2021, 22:42 PM If it isn't dead it isn't bled, and that is REALLY FELT when a shot connects and a full model squad just retreats away. 20% less really hammers that 1 shot consistency. The P4's large OHK radius is why its a real shock tank that AT infantry cant rush. 2 shots means AT rocket infantry can rush a vehicle, snap a shot, and retreat out before bleeding. The UKF roster has consistently either lost or never had great bleed tools, with the Comet as the one real exception. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback23 Apr 2021, 22:08 PM Finally got around to running the new B-4's math. TL/DR Its an alpha strike oriented ML/20, otherwise its worse except in 1 weird case. New B-4 has 71% less 160 damage radius, and 14% more 80 damage radius, with 3 times the 1 shot area than the ML/20 or leFH. Of note, the Priest actually has a larger 160 damage area. 6 times the 1 shot area of the Sexton. Its an infantry hammer instead of a large AT gun. And a some-what consistent one with that ginormous 80 dmg radius. The change from 0 -> 2 near didn't effect those numbers at all (+.01 to 160 dmg radius), just improving direct hit performance. Damage applied to an area over time has increased by 17%, but still 21% less than the ML/20, and its really bad normalized with pop, only being better than the Sexton. its only 15% less 80 damage area down range over time. So, its a bad ML/20 with some reasonable alpha strike. There is one space where it actually shines. The ML/20, B-4, and leFH all have the same scatter characteristics, except in one characteristic: FoW scatter. B-4 has 1.25 mod vs the 1.75 of other field artillery. This means for into FoW long range infantry bombardment, the B-4 is king. The Priest beats everyone else by 2x, but the new B-4 is the best otherwise (by 7% over the leFH). Its a weird niche, and if people don't complain I'll be surprised. If you watch the Tightrope video, you can see the insane 80 dmg radius. The tanks are tickled but the infantry get splattered. I would suggest normalize B-4 CD with other fixed howitzers to 70 seconds. This maintains pop cost efficiency while allowing it to shine as an infantry hammer. Otherwise, keep the Direct Fire at 640 damage. It keeps some of the old B-4's AT power. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback22 Apr 2021, 05:31 AM the Brits have no good option for Assault Rifle. Bren already has a cemented position, so changing Vickers K is much better, as most dont use it. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: COH2stats.com match and player statistics 2.019 Apr 2021, 22:11 PM Its interesting how much play OKW gets regardless of win rate and team size. They don't do very well in 1v1 and are still played equally to OST. And 2v2-4v4 they get about 20% more play time than OST, while only being dominant in 4v4. 3v3 and 4v4 don't have great data, as discussed, so take that with some skepticism. And UKF ain't doing so hot, jesus they don't see 1v1 play. I was suprised at the drop in USF play as well. In: Lobby
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback19 Apr 2021, 22:01 PM Doesn't seem like any viability changes. I still think sand bags and trenches baked into the Ro.E base line would not be amiss. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF in ML so far...19 Apr 2021, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2021, 19:48 PMblvckdream Comet already got a buff to its MGs in one of the last updates. Or did they scrap that as well? Cromwell, not Comet I believe. Comet just had its AI AoE hammered. Panther has Comet AI when facing infantry along with better survivability and not consuming the shot, so its always ready to shoot any incoming tanks. It invalidates Medium armor and lets the Panther punish AT guns. I can hug other TDs safely, Panther MGs really tingle. The Panther is some weird cross between a heavy tank and a heavy TD. Removing the Pintle would cement its position as a TD, and not a heavy tank along with making Tank Commander an upgrade and not a side grade. In: COH2 Balance
