OKW Tech Cost Ideas

Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2015, 12:15 PMDeC

Playing and preying on typos means you have no counter argument or anything of value to add. T2/T3 does not cost any fuel as you start with 40 fuel. T2 is too god to be cost free as it auto-heals the doomblob and is too durable for a forward point.

Slight fuel cost reduction and Mp increase for MechHQ would be an interesting change as it would encourage OKW players to actualy spend fuel and build vehicles instead of "nah don't need to ma Puppchen/shrecks deal with anything, imma make sure they remain healthy and strong by deploying the med truck first"

T4 is also too cheap and IMO a panther arriving earlier than a t3476, sherman is quite wrong LMFAO

Soviet also start with the fuel to get T1 / T2, should that be increased as well?

Btw.: let's debunk your assumption:

USF:
T3tech 170-180 (LT / Capt)
unit 110 (Sherman)
== 280-290

OKW:
T3tech 120
unit 202.5 - 262.5 (P4 / P5)
== 322.5 - 382.5

Now consider that every additional tank is way more pricy.
This is how OKW is intended to be played: good tech building with a fancy feature, rather cheap tech, but costly vehicles in the long run.

1- USF starts with 15 fuel (?)
2- You would expend 10f for the ambulance and 15-25f for either nades/bar-zook
3- Base income is equal to all factions, meaning that OKW it's closer to .7 rather than .66 (Makes difference on the long run)
4- OKW P4 arrives at 307f and the Sherman at 290/300f. On teamgames, assuming medics from other allies, relying on flamers/1919s, then it goes to 265/275f.

3. COH2 rounds the displayed number up.
Example: 4 CPs + 1 fuel + base = 16.6... income, not the displayed 17. Nevertheless, we talk about a difference of approx 10 fuel after 30 (!) minutes, between the displayed value, and the actual one. Neglectable difference in the first place.

...not discussing the display, rather than the arbitrary number of .66 when it's .7. It's not much, but it's neglecting 1.3f per minute.

But... anyways, hope you still understand / appreciate my general argumentation in this regard, and what i tried to explain.
(...This is how OKW is intended to be played: good tech building with a fancy feature, rather cheap tech, but costly vehicles in the long run. )
Let's just use your example of ~70%, so T3 is ~115 fuel, and a Panther is around ~250, which still has the same outcome of (rather) cheap tech with pricy vehicles in the long run - my actual point, the faction design.

...
I'm just saying that it's not crazy to say, with the actual teching and upgrades needed for USF (ambulance and optional nades/Bar-zook), that the first OKW PIV arrives at roughly the same time as the 1st Sherman...
