A letter to Relic COH2 Game balance team

Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2015, 18:12 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf

I always thought spearhead also increases turret rotation speed?

I still don't like the idea of increasing armor AND reducing costs.

Sorry, but how are my changes OP?

The "hollow charge" ability is useless. It's terribly inaccurate because it's barrage. I think it would be better if the le.IG fired those shells by auto-firing. It would actually hit something.

How is decreasing JT CP requirements to 12 and slightly reducing fuel costs OP? It's still the most expensive call-in (and also the latest with 12CPs).

Volks need 8 hits to kill a single soldier. After upgrading them they'd need 7 hits. OP?

Sturms with shrecks wouldn't be more OP than PGrens and Volks having Pzfausts is also nothing special. Are Grens OP because of having Pzfausts aswell?

This post has scared me more than anything I've read on here. The fact this guy is top on many factions and the fact that these kinda people are the guys who are on the relic internal balance forum, give advise to relic and do the alpha testing probably equates to why the games so fucked and stuff like truck pushing even existed in the first place.

While I agree with some things and disagree with others one thing gets to me. The truck pushing, if you are to take out truck pushing then the m10/t34 Crush should be gone too. Theoretically if a m10/t34 could crush so can almost every tank in the game. Complaining about the truck pushing but not infantry pushing is (to me) a bit hypocritical.

some dude use "hollow charge" ability kill 2 of my med truck in my USF base.

JT is somthing USF and SOVIET cant counter. so it must be high price.

VG can mix with Fallschirmjäger Panzerfüsilier to stop the tanks.

also REKT43 got buff.

Okay when a t34 and 'M10(which cost resources)come out,there's Faust, mines, pak, and other tanks to prevent or punish it.

What can you do against truck push 1 minute into the game? Go WC51 and hope for the best every game??and screw yourself completely if you fail?

Soviets honestly shouldn't struggle with this if they go T1. But t2/con spam docs and Americans are boned if the guy had any
Skill.


It's a bit odd for you to ignore the big picture. Pushing as a mechanic is OKAY. Pushing 1 minute into the game with extremely limited counterplay and no risk is FAR from okay.

Your med truck would have been killed by a normal barrage as well, LOL!

I guess Elefant is something USF/Soviets can't counter then as well? JT would still be the most expensive call-in tank in-game and would still arrive later than any other tank apart from a Tiger Ace.

Panzerfusiler AT nades are crap and Falls bunch up like crazy when being ordered to Pfaust something = wiped pretty often.

RAK43 got buffed because it was a needed. That buff doesn't justify the lack of non-doctrinal vehicle snares.

Basic, cheap inf shouldn't have Shrecks. It's simply bad design and leads to balance issues.

Sturms are the right squad to have double shrecks. Just like PGrens they'd be fragile and expensive to replace and therefore couldn't be spammed like Volks while still being able to deal decent damage vs vehicles

U dont have to do anything. more rifleman can deal with it.

Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2015, 18:42 PMbraciszek

Spending MORE manpower to deal with a FREE unit.

When something is FREE, it shouldnt require manpower to defeat. Its fine as it has become now.

People push units around with all kinds of stuff. The problem, IMO, wasn't the pushing but more that the thing just didn't want to die.
SWS should die more easily if you face it with 2+ squads (further reduced armor), instead of moving in slow motion.
Well, just my 2 cents.

He does have some good adjustments overall, and i would love to argue about them, but in the end we know two things that will certainly happen:
1. fanboy wars
2. Relic doesn't care

not exactly unheard of for top players to have different views on balance.
