Opinion on the "new" USF mortar?

The problem with the scott is while the barrage is great, it bugs out (cancels) if you stop scott at any point during the barrage -- it's not possible to fix this bug. Thus, if you start a barrage and the enemy forces you to move while barraging, you need to keep moving.

It also doesn't help that the barrage has a 60-second cooldown.


I've said my peace about the mortar, so I have to derail now. I don't see how you think the scott sucks because of a bug that doesn't even affect it's best strength. Honestly the scott is one of the shining stars of my army now. I get people doing all kinds of stupid risky crap to kill it (like overextending panthers and king tigers into m6 mines). One game I got over 80 kills with a single Scott that survived the entire game! I actually thought it was in danger of being nerfed. It does miss a lot, but keeping it behind an infantry wall is extremely effective. Once it hits it's pretty damned devastating. Sometimes on-par with the difficulty of dealing with a brumbar, but cheaper.

The barrage is pretty crappy and I really only use it when I'm desperate. It misses small targets, so it's only really useful on OKW buildings or immobilized heavies. You can even increase it's accuracy by manually targeting squads in a specific manner. When shooting at moving squads the shots will miss usually, but they will land just behind the target. So, by manually targeting a blobber's point squad, the shot lands in the middle of the blob wrecking like 5 guys at a time! I get these things to vet 3 all the time in team games. 1v1 tends to have smarter players, so you may not get opportunities to splash shots in the middle of blobs, but it still will significantly help you win infantry engagments. Each shot is like bundle grenade.

I would like to see the cooldown on the barrage released, though. The barrage sucks, but I would like to be able to use the smoke more often. Sometimes I use it to cover squads capping vp or covering teamates armor.

USF mortar appears OK to me. You have a mortar which cannot be stolen because of its pack up time and it gives you smoke if you want to avoid munitions and fuel cost. Use the unit for this function and you will be rewarded.

If you are looking for long range indirect fire try the Pak howie, still amazing.

I think the pack howie needs either a major cost decrease or an autofire range increase, but I still love the thing.

How do you feel the new USF mortar?

I played some USF games lately and I had the feeling it couldn't hit anything in all the games I did.
.......
Now I know the USF mortar was overperforming before, I was playing intensively Ostheer during all that time but I have the impression it went from OP to useless...


It was situational before, meaning that it was really good against Ost with multiple weapon teams, and not so great against OKW. One leig pretty much hard countered a mortar if the player actively used it against the mortar.

Now it is much more situational. It still seems to hit a lot, but not kill much. The smoke is okay, probably a little more reliable than smoke from the standard Soviet mortar.

A lot of games are won through attrition. One of the key components in that is how efficient units are in terms of price, popcap, and what they actually kill. In that light, compare the new and old mortars.

Old:
260 MP, 6 popcap, 30 kills in 40 minutes
cost: 260 + 6*1.5*40 = 620
benefit: 30 * 28(average reinforce cost) = 840
ratio: 1.35 (really good)

New
240 MP, 6 popcap, 10 kills in 40 minutes
cost: 240 + 6*1.5*40 = 600
benefit: 10 * 28(average reinforce cost) = 280
ratio: 0.47 (better to build another ammo cache and possibly second RE)

The autofire range on everything should be decreased. The pack howie would be okay if the attack ground range was equal to its barrage range, like every other indirect. I haven't verified it by looking at the files but it seems to be 60 for autofire, compared to 80 for the Ost motor and something like 100 for the mortar pit, leig, and 120.

If the mortar pit's autofire range was set to ~50 (along with all the other indirect), people wouldn't complain about it so much. Most people are too lazy to manually target the mortar pit. They want a set-it-and-forget-it unit with 100 range. In game, it is sometimes hard not to go off on a UKF teammate when they are just letting the thing autofire at a moving squad (effectively doing nothing) while ignoring the mg that you need moved in order to take a point. Set it to 50 and they either learn to use it or just lose a lot.

Where did you get the numbers for the rate it kills? This number would be extremely situational.

I often check kills at the end of a match. With the pre-nerf mortar, I'd get up to 30 against an Ost player in a 1v1 or 2v2. Those were the most that I would get, average numbers were probably in the 15-20 range. Against OKW the numbers were much lower and I rarely got them. On the post-nerf mortar, I don't think I've ever got more than 12. Both Ost and Okw can hard counter it if they want so it often doesn't even do that well.

Please test it yourself. If you get better results then post the replay. Maybe I haven't been using it correctly.

I won a 1vs1 game I was primarily losing cuz my opponent rushed my vet3 Scott with his Pz4 + Pz5 + Stuka loitering. At that time I only had 1 M36 + a zook squad. He didn't kill the Scott and I killed his 2 panzers. He was probably getting made with the Scott raping his infantry.

The USF mortar is clearly a optional unit in case of HMG42 spam, and only to use smoke...

I cost decrease could be cool, and also a 3 men setup or an increase in it cover defense, otherwise its a good unit.

AA: it's 65 for USF mortar. 80 for all normal mortars + Pack Howie. 100 for ISG/120mm. 105 vet1 ISG. 115 for mortar pit.

Barrage: 65 for USF mortar (80 on smoke on vet1). 80 for all normal mortars (which include mortar HT). 86 vet3 USF mortar. 100 for ISG/120mm. 105 vet1 ISG. 106 vet3 mortars. 115 for mortar pit. 133 vet3 120mm. 140 vet3 ISG. 160 Pack Howie. 212 vet3 Pack Howie.


-OMG that range on barrage on 120mm/ISG/Pack Howie!!11!
>>>120mm takes double the amount of xp to vet compared to normal mortars while also shooting at half the speed.
>>>ISG barrage is mostly not used unless you are countering UKF emplacements (AOE does not guarantee to use it in this way)
>>>Pack Howie only shoots 3 shells (which are great, specially at vet2) which makes it lackluster while waiting for the cooldown.

Opinion:
-USF mortar: do not spam it just like before. You are facing MG heavy strat or annoying garrison? Get one. USE THE FREAKING SMOKE, do not rely only on the HE barrage.
-USF Pack Howie: increase amount of shells and/or decrease cooldown on barrage. That's it. Oh, if min weapon crew could be set at 2, that would be great.
-OKW ISG: reduce AA range to 90, give it smoke, replace vet1 with Hollow shell mode (like changing munition with Sherman instead of it been a barrage), better AoE profile against garrison.
-UKF mortar pit: reduce aa range to 100. Give smoke at vet0. Replace garrison RoF buff bonus with "Light HE barrage" unlocked at vet1. Light HE shells are the originally beta concept. Lower damage (60), higher range (130). Reduced cooldowns on barrages.

Im not sure why you wouldnt just make usf mortar a copy of ost one....i would trade this mortar for free flame nade unlocks (with tier) anyday.. like okw gets... it also gets the additional benefit of denying cover.

its not like a t0 mortar is game breaking.. T0 AT gun isnt gamebreaking.. USF needs to go cpt for one...or go a useless doctrine..

Or maybe you could just move its range bonus vet to 2 or something. It could use some love.. the range is a joke also... a mortar without range just seems so stupid to me lmao.. even if the accuracy completely goes to shit it should still achieve greater range.

Where did you get the numbers?

Also, why should the pack howie have a shorter AA and attack ground range than the ISG, which is less expensive to get and has less pop cap?

http://stat.coh2.hu/

AA = Attack ground

The pack howie should get a lesser AA or equal to mortars cause it has an insane barrage (vet2), great normal barrage and good AoE for rof.
What the pack howie needs improvements is on the barrage deparment, not the AA.

FTFY.

The mortar actually was game breaking at worst and imbalanced at best. T0 AT gun is not gamebreaking, but it really undermines the importance of teching making it awkward.

Or maybe you could just move its range bonus vet to 2 or something. It could use some love.. the range is a joke also... a mortar without range just seems so stupid to me lmao.. even if the accuracy completely goes to shit it should still achieve greater range.


Alternately, it could've feasibly stayed exactly the same, but been put into LT tier.

Doesn't AA stand for auto attack? Is that always the same range as attack ground?

For some reason, I can't load any of the GCS replays (even with the -allowincompatibleReplays). Are there any where a USF player got good use from a pack howie? It's always possible that they suck when I use them only because it is I that is using them.

It was game breaking because it was performing much better than an ost mortar... imagine if OKW had to go a certain tier for an AT gun like USF does, mechanized for example ... it would be much more awkward for them

Placing it in LT tier is even worse because it doesnt give USF a way to counter garrisons/mgs and okw still gets free nades/weapons unlock with tiers. and even with the mortar usf is still lacking with a versatile amount of units and abilities compared to the vanilla factions, lacking basic tools...

If it was just a T0 ost equal mortar it would be completely fine and not at all game breaking.

-Only now good for it's smoke, range to short.
-Cheaper now to use grenades to smoke so it's rather useless.

-Very very circumstantial.

-Will die to ennemi's mortar/LeIg the moment it's revealed. No time to pack.

AA => Auto attack

AA range = Attack ground range

Barrage uses a different weapon profile

NOPE. It was practically a clone to the OH mortar. The AFK offensive stats were the same.
Differences:

-It cost +20mp but been T0.
-It had better vet1 (due to scatter reduction)
-SLIGHTLY different/better barrage. Took this from and older post: "1s faster rof but more scatter".

Ginaaa: `just caught cooper47/ maphacking
05 Feb 2025, 00:11 AM
adamírcz: Oh well, I might look it up on dickcord and try upload anyway
02 Feb 2025, 00:27 AM
adamírcz: shiit, saw clean through me
02 Feb 2025, 00:26 AM
aerafield: That's exactly what a drophacker would say
01 Feb 2025, 22:37 PM
adamírcz: Just to be clear, Im askin cause I want someone banned, not coz I would wanna synchhack
01 Feb 2025, 15:10 PM
adamírcz: Do Relic still banana people for synchhacks in CoH2 or is it only for CoH3 now
01 Feb 2025, 15:09 PM
Lady Xenarra: Great, we're all getting somewhere B-)
30 Jan 2025, 21:32 PM
Rosbone: @Lady Xenarra Yes, I am more than happy that Kill Counts were added. I apologize for the insane rant. Like everything else, if you want it done right you have to do it yourself :romeoHairDay:
30 Jan 2025, 19:44 PM
adamírcz: Damn, didnt expect to trigger such impressive rant, but there is nothing I disagree with there :rofl:
30 Jan 2025, 19:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: Errr, browser error. Come on, aren't you happy the game finally got a kill counter? I mean it's fantastic for viewing how many inf you mowed down charging MGs frontally :rofl:
30 Jan 2025, 19:05 PM
Lady Xenarra: @Rosbone
30 Jan 2025, 19:04 PM
Rosbone: *trip on
30 Jan 2025, 18:13 PM
Rosbone: Damn it, you got me talking about Relic again. I had almost completely forgotten about Coh3, like most everyone else. You can only watch waterheads tri n the sidewalk so many times before its just sad.
30 Jan 2025, 18:13 PM
Rosbone: They offer no help to the underling because they dont know shit, they just annoy them until they quit and go somewhere else. There it is, the business in a nutshell.
30 Jan 2025, 18:08 PM
Rosbone: Like most companies, if someone is good at their job they dont get promoted. So only the dumb rise to management roles. These people are usually what I call list makers. All they understand is "I have a task on my list that needs done, did you do it?".
30 Jan 2025, 18:06 PM
Rosbone: It is extremely sad that some moron like me could go there and out work everyone there in multiple roles.
30 Jan 2025, 18:05 PM
Rosbone: So now it has multiple points of failure and relies on asynchronous internet calls. Just the dumbest of the dumb work at Relic. It is clear, they have no concept of what is good or bad.
30 Jan 2025, 18:02 PM
Rosbone: The old file had player name, position, rank, RelicID, SteamID. Coh3 should have included these and player color. Now it just has player name and IDs. You have to go search for the rest of the data from a Relic server.
30 Jan 2025, 18:01 PM
Rosbone: In typical Relic fashion, they did something truly great and then f*cked it beyond repair in a fit of retardation. I have not looked deep in Coh3s files but I would imagine it is still broken. They should have expanded the local info, but its Relic so....
30 Jan 2025, 17:58 PM
Rosbone: @adamírcz Not sure which CELO you are using, but all CELOs pull information from a Relic server. This is because Relic is retarded. All the data neded used to be in a local file, then Relic broke it.
30 Jan 2025, 17:56 PM
adamírcz: and now its back on; noice
29 Jan 2025, 22:56 PM
adamírcz: why the fuck is celo down?
29 Jan 2025, 22:41 PM
SteamNOC: teamkiller ban plz
29 Jan 2025, 16:21 PM
NigelBallsworth: @GenMe what you're saying makes sense, but if that's the case, the designers are creating a situation that makes it very irritating and not at all fun to play Allies, seeing as the player of average skill gets stomped 4 out of 5 times by players of noskill
28 Jan 2025, 23:49 PM
Soheil: Axis 3v3 , 4v4 but Alies strong in 1vs1 and 2vs2
28 Jan 2025, 22:41 PM
OKSpitfire: Relic*
28 Jan 2025, 16:05 PM
OKSpitfire: Which brings up back to the inevitable: How on earth could they allow- Oh of course, the game was released in a really broken and unfinished state, much like the last one. But this time the publisher has had enough. Cheers for that.
28 Jan 2025, 16:03 PM
OKSpitfire: I think these things especially annoy the community because it brings us back to obvious strategic bullshit and exploits that were already a 'thing' that got painstakingly corrected in the previous iteration of the game.
28 Jan 2025, 16:01 PM
OKSpitfire: I think it's more that the lessons learned from all the years of carefully balancing the previous game haven't been learned or carried over. Thats and mechanics have generally been dumbed down to make the game more noob friendly.
28 Jan 2025, 15:50 PM
OKSpitfire: I dunno. I find the idea that anyone would purposefully make one faction stronger than another in a multiplayer RTS game kind of dumb. Why would any designer do this? There's no upside.
28 Jan 2025, 15:49 PM
Rosbone: But the miss was for good reason, to increase the player count and sales. But it has removed too much of the pleasure of out skilling your opponent.
28 Jan 2025, 11:13 AM
Rosbone: Because noobs that cheese are too competitive. Coh2 really was as good as it gets in every aspect of RTS. Relic just needed to fix some small issues and add mechanics. They missed the mark a little.
28 Jan 2025, 11:10 AM
Rosbone: @GenMe Finally someone gets it. Coh2 was designed so varying levels of skill could play together. This increases the available players. Which helps everyone due to better match making. Sadly Coh3 took this idea too far. Which has alienated top players.
28 Jan 2025, 11:08 AM
GenMe: same in coh 2, you pretty much guarantee an axis late game victory, so all they have to do is last out, it also makes them easy to play for newer players, no need to flank, squad wipe late game units
28 Jan 2025, 09:47 AM
GenMe: the reason axis is OP is because they have a massive following, you cant blame relic for listening to thier target audience, a strong axis faction makes more money
28 Jan 2025, 09:45 AM
NigelBallsworth: and then "EZ", like no shit it's ez. team Axis is ez mode.
27 Jan 2025, 22:45 PM
NigelBallsworth: @aerafield "low effort, maximum reward" is an excellent way to phrase the shit that a LOT of Axis players do in team games.
27 Jan 2025, 22:38 PM
Lady Xenarra: @aerafield Given how much screaming there is about it already, there’s nothing for me to say to add to it.
27 Jan 2025, 14:04 PM
aerafield: Ofc the axis main won't mention the Wespe with double barrage and no cooldown :megusta:
27 Jan 2025, 00:26 AM
Lady Xenarra: So will we be seeing substantial nerfs to the SPG spam in 2.0? Bishops were already pretty obnoxious before 1.8 but the extra MP reinforce costs now make SPGs in general an ez click to win option.
26 Jan 2025, 13:47 PM
donofsandiego: the location will be dug double wide so that coh 3 can fit beside it
26 Jan 2025, 07:04 AM
donofsandiego: Upcoming: Operation Shed. For this operation, we will be relocating Coh2.org to it's permanent resting place behind the shed.
26 Jan 2025, 07:03 AM
Rosbone: This has been a paid for announcement from The People for the betterment of Coh Society.
23 Jan 2025, 20:11 PM
Rosbone: And at a point when they need to have as many positives as they can. Instead they drop the ball and beg people for upvotes. You wouldnt need begging if you just did your jobs, like ever.
23 Jan 2025, 20:08 PM
Rosbone: They put out new maps and increase the chance you get the new maps! Great idea! Thanks! Now its been 2 months of getting the same map over and over and over. How do they always fail themselves. Turn a positive into a negative everytime.
23 Jan 2025, 20:07 PM
Rosbone: Seriously now, how is Relic still around. They cant do anything at all without F'ing it up.
23 Jan 2025, 20:05 PM
GenMe: Its pointless even recording wins or losses in coh or any other RTS, they are being maphacked to death
22 Jan 2025, 05:16 AM
aerafield: But make no mistake, this is not supposed to be a "DAK OP" rant. The whole game CoH3 is designed in a way so that stupid players can perform well and reach high ladder spots. Low effort, maximum reward strategies are everywhere
21 Jan 2025, 22:51 PM
aerafield: Yeah I was gonna say, you clearly never saw the 10 IQ 10 APM blobbers roaming around on CoH3's top 20 ladders as DAK. Blobbing VSL Pgrens near the camouflage truck
21 Jan 2025, 22:47 PM
Lady Xenarra: Nvm, I was wrong about VSL. Ultra efficient blob smashers go brrrrrr
21 Jan 2025, 21:31 PM
Lady Xenarra: VSL is a myth, that is all.
17 Jan 2025, 20:10 PM
Rosbone: Ahhh I see the time span was less than a month for my view.
16 Jan 2025, 15:35 PM
Rosbone: 1600 is also lopsided based on 3v3 or 4v4.
16 Jan 2025, 15:32 PM
Rosbone: 4v4 has enough players or Wespe blobs but 3v3 doesnt? Some good axis teams are only playing 4v4?
16 Jan 2025, 15:31 PM
Rosbone: @aerafield What is up with the Coh3 win rates? 4v4 1500 has axis at 57% winrate. Same setting in 3v3 is allies at 52% win rate.
16 Jan 2025, 15:30 PM
Rosbone: Bueller? Bueller?
16 Jan 2025, 15:16 PM
aerafield: weekly shoutbox post :)
16 Jan 2025, 11:49 AM

09 Jan 2025, 11:04 AM
Willy Pete: So yes, he was very much doing Ullu things B-)
09 Jan 2025, 00:56 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Couldn't spam pumas, he ragequit after 4 mins. Told his teammates they sucked and disappeared into a puff of smoke
09 Jan 2025, 00:55 AM
Rosbone: @Willy Pete Did he spam Pumas and do all the great Ullu things? :romeoHype:
09 Jan 2025, 00:16 AM
Willy Pete: I played against Ullumulu in coh2 today. The legend lives on
08 Jan 2025, 20:32 PM
blvckdream: @Rosbone yeah ... still no alternative to coh2 -_-
05 Jan 2025, 09:12 AM
Rosbone: @blvckdream They just might. Glad you are still in the mix brother!
04 Jan 2025, 14:59 PM
blvckdream: @Rosbone I submitted a request. Let`s see if they do something lol
04 Jan 2025, 12:28 PM
Rosbone: If you go thru the process, please mention @aerafield just for kicks :foreveralone:
04 Jan 2025, 10:54 AM
Rosbone: relic stopped banning people. But was rumored to do a ban-wave recently. They just announced this new portal: https://help.relic.com/hc/en-us/sections/36051779792147-Code-of-Conduct-Relic-Account
04 Jan 2025, 10:53 AM
blvckdream: Obvious map hacker. doesnt even hide it. who can i send the replay?
04 Jan 2025, 09:25 AM
blvckdream: Is there still a way to report coh2 maphackers?
04 Jan 2025, 09:19 AM
donofsandiego: "boo womp"
03 Jan 2025, 19:01 PM
donofsandiego: me when my riflemen blob gets insta wipeb by a V1
03 Jan 2025, 19:00 PM
Rosbone: @Willy Pete :clap:
03 Jan 2025, 03:33 AM
Willy Pete: And apparently Relic has as well lol
03 Jan 2025, 02:37 AM
Willy Pete: Do enough people care to even complain? I don't mind the v1 but I've given up caring about balance
03 Jan 2025, 02:36 AM
Lady Xenarra: @aerafield :rofl:
01 Jan 2025, 14:11 PM
aerafield: "Deploy a devastating V-1 rocket capable of wiping out the opponent's base immediately. Only 9.99$ BUY IT NOW!"
31 Dec 2024, 22:19 PM
Lady Xenarra: I am surprised by the lack of screaming that the V-1 will be in the new battle groups.
31 Dec 2024, 14:55 PM
Rosbone: Its going to be one of those years.
25 Dec 2024, 12:39 PM
donofsandiego: rosbone coming out in the shoutbox was not on my 2024 bingo card
25 Dec 2024, 06:46 AM
Hannibal: Relic lost their most professional CoH3 hater
24 Dec 2024, 11:48 AM
Rosbone: However, since Relic added kill counts I cannot trash Coh3 anymore. And have subsequentially started to sprout breasts. I am slowly transitioning into a Coh3 enjoyer :blush:
23 Dec 2024, 13:43 PM
Rosbone: Its good to see people coming back even if it is to trash Coh3 and shit talk each other. That is what men do. :snfQuinn:
23 Dec 2024, 13:41 PM
Rosbone: @skemshead How do you know they are idiots? I mean. I know. But how do YOU know? :snfPeter:
