Thread: M20 damage13 Dec 2014, 17:27 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2014, 02:07 AMMr. Someguy I'd be hesitant to buff the M20 without fixing the Wehrmacht vs USF matchup first. Good Point. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?13 Dec 2014, 17:21 PM Ugh the handicapped economy thing again. Hasnt this been shown time and again as really no handicap or do we need to go over that again. Handicapped versus call in spam maybe and even then less then most people make out (not counting the base sector 100% fuel and the starting fuel price and the cheap teching and then finally the late game trade for Muni to fuel or fuel to muni) And yes it will change things. Obers are and have been downright stupidly overpowered. They are like Shreks a no brainer 95% Guarantee to be in every game and every time perform better and get more kills then even a whole infantry blob at times. They are far too potent. They need to be adjusted. Even if they increase other units DPS if they for example turn out to break OKW. I even like the Kappatch that simply reduced the LMG and buffed the Kar98 resulting in the same squad DPS. This made them less rapid fire sniper rifles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Higher then usual Battleserver Disonnects13 Dec 2014, 17:13 PM I dont know if the greater community is suffering from this but ever since the December release I have noticed that while playing comp stomps, watching replays, or being in observer mode I constantly get disconnected from the Battle server and need to click the reconnect button. Sometimes even while I am observing a long game causing me to have to leave the game and rejoin. Call me Paranoid but I suspect Relic did "Something" to stop people from farming warspoils or there is a stability issue. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?13 Dec 2014, 14:54 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2014, 08:22 AMRomeo my ranking with USF is way better than all my other factions, is USF OP? No Romeo you are just a freak of nature. An aberration. A statistical anomaly.... Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2014, 09:41 AMgokkel Only if you lack intelligence to understand the implications for the faction as a whole. I thought you guys love your "asymmetric balance" argument so much over here? Obersoldaten are a necessity in their state for OKW because of the overall faction design. Why? A) OKW has little fuel and munition, which means they won't be able to build many tanks and stuff but will need to rely more heavily on their manpower units B) Volksgrenadiere lose against any other starting infantry 1v1 C) Volksgrenadiere cannot be further upgraded to become better at fighting infantry, whereas Riflemen for example will dominate them even further once they are upgraded D) OKW has no medium tanks to fight infantry. They only have some luxury tanks for late game and paper armor vehicles that can help you survive to the later stages of the game to get the proper stuff out but they will become relatively obsolete quickly once the enemy gets just a bit of AT on the field E) OKW has no support infantry. MG34s are doctrinal and worse than any other MG, the leIG is a double priced 80mm mortar without a retreat button, and that is already it. => This is why OKW is relying on manpower intensive elite infantry like Obersoldaten or doctrinal alternatives like Fallschirmjägers or Panzerfüsiliers to be able to compete with the enemy infantry => This is why nerfs to manpower income for OKW as I have read in this thread is a completely stupid idea because it defeats the whole faction design => This is also why Obersoldaten need to be powerful right now and big nerfs to the unit don't make sense if the unit is only viewed singled out of the overall faction You can say that you don't enjoy the OKW faction design which I find understandable, you can say that Relic should change the overall faction, but don't just go in and whine about every single OKW unit being overpowered as it happens in this forum all the time. If OKW as a faction was that overpowered as this forum makes you believe then OKW would not lose a single game ever. Justifying an OP unit because you feel the faction as a whole is weak doesn't stop the unit from being OP. This is like saying THEY CAN NEVER NERF THE CALL IN META BECAUSE SOVIET TECH IS TERRIBLE!!!! No you fix the weaknesses in other areas then you adjust the units that over-perform. Its not brain surgery... Obers counter Infantry even vet infantry 2 to 1 and sometimes more depending on their vet, cover and RNG. Obers counter sniper. Obers counter MGs frontally 1v1. Obers counter light vehicles (M3/M20/WC51 even loaded with Rifles). If an Ober loses his LMG and the MAJOR of all units picks it up the MAJOR will be the nastiest unit on the field besides the Obers themselves. Its hilariously broken. RUN OMG ITS A MAJOR WITH THE LMG FROM THE YEAR 2040 KILLING ALL THE NAZIS ON THE BATTLEFIELD SOLO!!!! lol In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Teching: Inefficient vs USF?12 Dec 2014, 14:40 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2014, 18:28 PMmiragefla Then change Ostheer's tech costs in MP/Fuel instead so that it's easier to hold off and more rewarding rather than being this thing which is punishing Ostheer vs USF rather than benefiting them at a time when they need these T2 units ASAP. That's not really a nerf for USF, it just makes it harder to push Ostheer off the field completely as they can actually get an appropriate response on the field in time before the attack hits. How you'd nerf the late-game to compensate is beyond me since issues such as heavy call-ins, smoke, and blitz and giving USF a penetration boost to the Jackson's stock shells to help vs heavies. Against Ost defense lines that may give USF issues, smoke. I agree. Ostheers early game is weak unless you mix in Snipers or Mortars. But Snipers are high risk and Mortars are RNG. Both of them Bleed USF early and USF has no early response to them. But even then its not ideal imho. I agree with the Jackson Penetration buff I really think this would fix the late game issue USF has against heavies. It it can Pen more then it bounces then it can get vet quicker and therefore be a better TD. Even if they need to lower the damage per shot and make the reload faster. Tackling an Ostheer defensive line is easier with the USF by far then with the Soviets due to plenty of smoke/offmaps and the Scott actually being useful. But then the Soviets would need to be looked at as well (after the fix to world of callins). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Ace12 Dec 2014, 14:13 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2014, 05:54 AMFestiveLongJohns That about sums it up. Its a broken unit in 1v1. It allows ostheer player to freely invest fuel into T3 and still call in a vet 3 tiger. No other commander in the game gives you the advantage of spending your fuel in the mid game and still giving you the beast call in at the cost of only manpower. The manpower drain can be easily mitigated by forcing a large engagement just before calling it in, and using the Ace as the nail in the coffin after both you and your opponent are recouping your losses. If you lose the ace you get your manpower back. Stupid, stupid mechanic that does not belong in this game. 100% This. Terrible mechanic. It should be a choice. Do I want to vet up my units or do I want to call in the Tiger Ace? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 damage12 Dec 2014, 14:10 PM It could use Vet based DPS increase. Because a Vet 2 Pumas LMG is better then a Vet 3 M20s 50 o.O. YAY no combat vet AT ALL! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: We Has 300 Points remaining10 Dec 2014, 18:54 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2014, 16:10 PMZuckerhund Let's not forget the "We're bleeding like a stuffed pig!" line. I think that pops up at 50 or 25 points remaining. It's supposed to be "bleeding like a STUCK pig". It'd be nice if these lines were re-recorded at some point. Bleeding like a stuffed pig is actually a very common way to say it wrong. Most folks in the US I know use it that way. Morphology! Now in 1944 they were probably using Stuck Pig which is correct.

Thread: tying upgrades to veterancy and removing stupid vet bonuses 10 Dec 2014, 16:24 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2014, 15:31 PMThe Silver Sage Yeah I like this idea, I used to always wait for the veteran bonus to accuracy that you get at vet 2 etc. before upgrading units with weapons. I know this veterancy mechanic has been integral to both Coh1 and 2 as well as DoW2 but sometimes it makes the game feel very unsatisfying especially long range combat. Who cares about cover etc. when you have enough received accuracy bonus that you can dodge small arms fire like Neo from the Matrix? As you said it kind of ruins late game engagements. You mean Vet 5 Volks? Or vet 5 Obers? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: We Has 300 Points remaining10 Dec 2014, 16:04 PM I dont know if this is a bug more then a WTF in the English version...but often times the Voice actor will say We HAS when he should say We HAVE when playing USF. Its not game breaking but pretty WTF for a game made by English speaking folks... Can I has a Cheezburger? is pretty funny and all but not good in a WW2 game... In: COH2 Bugs
