CoH3 mod - reBALANCE Tuning Pack

Complete changelog here:

221 Scout Car gunner and M18 Hellcat crew are scaled incorrectly

It's not the crew, it's the vehicle models. The M18 Hellcat was almost the size of a car in reality which besides the engine, suspension and lack of armor to make it light enough helped it be the fastest armored fighting vehicle in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) -

Otherwise changes look good.

Awesome, will investigate, thanks for the effort!

We just need Relic to allow everyone to search for games based on a MOD.

Lots of thoughtful changes with some big exceptions:

Marders needed to be changed but this is a dramatic nerf. 120 damage makes them completely unviable. They should remain powerful but be more expensive and have slower rotation rate - this patch does the opposite making them rotate even faster but do worse damage.

Removing in-combat reinforcement is odd given that this wasn't that broken in Coh2 - what's different? If this mechanic is to be removed then support weapons need their hp increased. One of the reasons they're so squishy is that they're balanced with on-field reinforce and re-crew in mind. However this might bring back support weapon meta from coh2 which I'm not a fan of. Big changes like this have big consequences.

Buffed penetration DAK Stug Gs will be completely broken. They already have rapid fire which makes them pretty strong, and with access to multiple forms of AOE ROF buff (8RAD, Command P4) they will slaughter everything. The philosophy of having 'clearly defined tank destroyer roles' doesn't make that much sense to me - the STUG is a bit of a hybrid unit because it's a tanky brawler.

Enormous AOE buff (1.5 to 4) to the Chaffee's anti-infantry capabilities in a faction that already has very good anti-infantry, making the greyhound worthless.

500% buff to MG suppression sounds ludicrously high - we really don't want a return to MG meta.

Buff to concrete bunker HP making them really unpleasant to deal with in 1v1.

Also some weird changes that remove unit flavour - why replace Bersa Urrah with Sprint? (explanation - 'it's not supposed to be a close combat unit' - but this helped them reposition to get cover/ throw nades).

Im not the modder, just an enthusiast and fan.

Bro what. 120 damage is the same amount as a frigging sherman 76 or easy eight without HVAP shells. Get the panzershrek if you love doing 160 damage per shot so much. Lmao.

The stug D probably has the 160 damage you desire.

Oh yeah, by the way, 120 damage main gun for 35 fuel is STILL a great deal, as a US player has to pay 50 fuel upfront and 90 fuel after to access it.

This is like the coh2 SU-76 is doing 200 damage, then it gets nerfed to 160 damage and claiming it's now completely unviable. Lmao.

USF has multiple handheld AT options all of which are getting good buffs.

Neither Stug is getting 160 damage. 160 damage on top of the penetration buffs would send DAK Stug G into 'most busted unit ever put in a COH game' territory.

The Marder isn't an SU76 and shouldn't be compared to it - it's not supposed to be a 'help you get by' AT unit. It has zero other utility apart from damage. It's too tanky and too mobile - these are the things that should have been nerfed about it - they're the reason nobody builds Wehr Marders.

How much health do the units have that the Sherman/Easy 8 are shooting at? They don't have to deal with Matildas.

Very nice changes, but why is m8 scott got it's range increase and stummel still having it's poor range while being glass canon?

Because it's a concept mod in development. They are making daily changes.

Can only be reinforced in friendly territory now on top of being out of combat and out of range from enemy units
Recrew team weapons ability now has same restrictions as new reinforcement behavior
Wehrmacht Medical Bunkers can now auto reinforce

Improved Flakvierling AA performance
Improved Crusader AA performance
Improved CWT Polsteen AA performance
Improved pintel MG performance across all factions as viable soft AA counters with slightly increased damage to aircraft, but decreased halved their range to be in line with universal AA update

Reverted range back to 50

RGBalance GUEST TUNING INTEGRATION
-Bazookas and GrB 39s no longer require initial weapon reload when deployed

US Forces
-Decreased Grenade Package research cost to 20 fuel from 25
-Scouts are under tuned at the moment with little late game viability
Smoke Grenade recharge time reverted to 120s from 180
Flare range reverted to 50 from 40. Applies to Scouts and Pathfinders

UKF Forces
-4.2in Mortar cost to 420mp/10fu from 440mp

Wehrmacht
-Jager further tuned
Upgrade now gives 2 weaker Panzerschreck (160 split between the two), to reduce the squad’s anti-infantry damage while maintaining their potency against vehicles

DAK
-Panzergrenadier further adjusted
Weapon profile updated for more optimal long range combat
-Flammpanzer 3 now affected by the self-repair passive upgrade

GAME FIXES
-Fixed detect mines toggle missing on sappers (was overlapped by breach)
-Grenadier’s merge ability can no longer apply to retreating units
-Added missing towing to DAK medical truck

CoH3 life would be good if this mod would just be the official patchnotes from Relic

"GENERAL
-Reinforcement mechanic has been further adjusted
Can only be reinforced in friendly territory now on top of being out of combat and out of range from enemy units
Recrew team weapons ability now has same restrictions as new reinforcement behavior
Wehrmacht Medical Bunkers can now auto reinforce"

My suggestion for reinforcement mechanics would be some of the following:

increase reinforcement time for all units so that it take longer to reinforce than die add an aura in base that provides reinforcement speed.

Medic truck (possibly bunkers) heal slower or heal only passenger or require ability to heal

Medic truck need to set up and be locked in place to heal/reinforce

Medic truck can transport support weapons but no re-crew them

Medic truck use medic kit to heal that need to refresh from base

update:


reBALANCE Tuning Pack updated after the last balance patch.

They reverted most changes that have been affected by 1.1.14 Balance Patch, but mantain other balance changes.

Nice change，NERF Panzerschreck and give 2 of them is good change.Also increase Wehr Pioneer squad size is good idea.But any idea or plan BUFF some Tech Upgrade like Wehrmacht Veteran upgrade or DAK Veteran Squad leader？

- Remove deflection damage to Boys and Panzerbuchse 39, but increased ROF, and increased max penetration by 10% to compensate for decreased DPS due to change

Some dude in my discord or maybe a steam thread was saying that this should be done. My question is why? Why would you turn the AT upgrade completely useless? In CoH 2, literally every infantry AT weapon does deflection damage, but it's especially important for AT rifles because their penetration is complete shit.

This is basically just removing the AT rifle upgrade from team games completely. Hell, this might even make AT rifles useless in smaller gamemodes too because this literally obsoletes AT rifles once medium tanks come out. Why would you *EVER* give your infantry this upgrade now? To fight off a couple light vehicles in the early game? You're basically just setting a timer before your infantry squad is effectively deleted off the map because it's worthless.
