Am I correct to understand this as a tank veterancy buff? In such case it should be reverted and done in the other direction - the tank mg gunners should be nerfed. Particularly their suppression.
Yes that would be a buff to the MG of the Panzer IV and Panther.
Why?
Because the Stug and Stuh MG (which is MG42 Vehicle same as halftrack) deals
25% more damage and double suppression.
(you see the latter I nerfed a little in one of my lists.)
Additionally, Stug gets 1.15x health bonus and Stuh gets 0.85x received penetration.
Panther and Panzer IV get nothing at all. Just a crappier MG. People that go for tank veterancy with Tier 4 units are not being rewarded properly for their investment.
I do believe wm t3 really needs to be looked at and tuned down. As well as some other minor issues like wm ht supression rate, t1 changes from last patch etc.
Puma I agree with you, it's seems a bit random and i actually already mentioned to remove the 5 procent green health crit. Other than that it's a bit tricky to change Puma crit tables, given it's a combination of a burst weapon and a tank weapon.
But I definitely agree the damage spread needs to be more even and I was already playing around with a few ideas in my mind. Something with less damage, less cooldown
One thing I would/will remove certainly is the cooldown modifier on the move. It's a system that fails.
Tier 1 changes hmm ... I don't know, maybe cutting some corners on the volk scaling like their insane sight range bonus at vet 2, and that capping bonus if tier 2 is reseached, a bit tuning on their mp40's ... . And slight sniper nerfs. Other than that I really can't see a thing to be changed.
Or one would have to redefine volksgrenadiers, cheaper and weaker. But I wouldn't make such drastic changes.
I think we need to look at grenspam a bit
Hmm, maybe. Maybe we need to look at zeal (and ftfl) instead. Or maybe we need to look at mortars, flamethrowers and such things.
Btw Croc is an absolute beast vs tier 2 strats. Just sad no one build it in the broadcasted games.
Lets be honest, EliteMod and other COH mods will never really go anywhere.
Well if it would work it would be awesome.
But personally I already find it challenging working on it. And I just wanna try and get the full potential out of COH before it goes to the museum.
