They still use Essence? WHYYYYY? It's so outdated that became since v3 a horrible optimized and buggy mess engine. Is it so hard to write new engine for modern systems and hardware? This engine took in january 15 years and they write the 7th version of this pile of garbagre.

Can someone explain to this poor soul that they are not still using the very same engine from 15 years ago, because this is not how this works, preferably using programming gibberish?

If I remember correctly in Coh 1 wer pio suffered a damage or received accuracy penalty when they where spammed.

Not spammed, but blobbed and it was introduced very late into the game life span.
It also completely failed to deliver its purpose, which was allowing brits some breathing room in early game.

Which begs the question: why wasn't this accuracy debuff carried over into CoH2 to prevent blobbing from happening?

Boy oh boy, do I wonder why.
You know what red army was famous for?

Blobing should be a viable strat, the main problem is the counters to blobing aren't effective. I would like to see a modifier to hmgs to increase suppression effects the more squads are caught by the hmg, this way hmgs would effectively be able to counter things like gren with mg42 blobs and infantry sections with bolster squad and double vickers blobs.

Something like this actually does exist in coh2.
The more models are around, the higher suppression will be.
Its called incremental suppression.

But tinkering with suppression proved extremely dangerous in the past.
Make it too low, HMG will be useless.
Make it too high, HMG spam meta.
Adjust incremental one, single squads aren't suppressed.
Adjust it other way, everything is instantly pinned.

Whatever can be done to HMG, its a loss for balance team.

i wonder every time why the good player dont use this great feature....it brings much advantage:

- instant full squad
- save MP
- right use it means u doesnt must retreat...when used on field

Because its very micro heavy, it makes at the very least one squad do nothing but move between base and field, if that squad actually performs combat, you're not going to have full health and bleed will increase, you'll be left with under vetted squad by mid game and while cons are better now, its still a suicide. Its worth the effort exclusively in the first 4-5 mins, then lights hit the field and you aren't going to have enough space to not retreat all your squads to heal up as doing otherwise will, again, only increase your bleed despite hypothetical cost decrease and it works only in 2 penal 2 con opening, where you're going to do MUCH better with 3 penals and M3. Cons also have rec acc greater then 1, which means they'll bleed more overall, but transferring their models to other squads means these other squads will not receive the bleed as cons themselves have strong rec acc vet to counteract that weakness.

It used to be a thing in the past, very briefly and only for a niche BO.

Nowadays its an act of desperation, not viable move. That's why its not being used.
AND its greatly inferior to OKW forward reinforcement/blitz truck, ost 251, even derping with USF ambulance and brit forward assembly.

OK, guess I'll just silently hide and see how things go... I mean who would even bother to propose changes if the balancers just cover their ears and "Blah blah blah I can't hear you!"...

Double schreck for OKW is nothing but a distant dream...

Ofc it is nothing but a distant dream....

Modders who do balance patches for CoH said it multiple times, if you love ost features so much as okw player, play ost and vice versa.

These two factions have barely any difference at all now and you people want to mirror them even further to the point where having two will be pointless.

I think its 4 years late for this thread.
