Thread: Rear Ech. Flamethrower - Rifle Company7 Oct 2020, 20:46 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2020, 20:43 PMMr. Someguy USF is already munitions heavy so I would even suggest making Flamethrower Team a call-in squad, 4 Riflemen and a Flamethrower. I really really like this idea. Also if it gets the rifleman sprint it would make for fun synergy. In: COH2 Balance

Flamethrower - Rifle Company7 Oct 2020, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2020, 18:46 PMVipper Problem is than then 200 mp infatry will be able to dislodge garrisoned mgs on its own. I would test moving the flamer to urban and merge with flame grenade that now would be available to RE. Rifle-grenade could be move to rifle-company and moved to riflemen using the AT grenade animation, on could combine it with a "hit the dirt" type of ability. That would probably fit the theme of both commander better. Well I'd say that LT in a way can also solo garrisoned MGs. With his smoke + grenade. It is such a burden to convert a unit that you need for smoke/mine sweep to what amounts to just a flamethrower. I know OST and SOV have this too. But for them at least the enigeer is core so you don't have to get so far off track just to use a doctrinal ability... I don't know if stacking more random abilities will really change the commander... I've also kind of had a change of mind concerning rifle. WP barrage + E8s makes for interesting plays. Still not a top commander but its ok. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rear Ech. Flamethrower - Rifle Company7 Oct 2020, 18:30 PM Is it really necessary for the flamethrower upgrade to lock out the ability to fire m23 smoke grenades? It's very disruptive to have to lose a smoke firing unit for a doctrinal upgrade. Give rear echs the ability to fire smoke while upgraded with the flamethrower. EDIT: Really good suggestion from a reply. Replace the flamethrower unlock with a 4 man Rifleman squad call in that can upgrade a flamethrower. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M8 Grey Hound - Recon Company6 Oct 2020, 04:49 AM In my experience unless you are extremely aggressive this unit rarely comes on time. I find that it comes a bit to late for a unit that is not really fantastic without huge MU spending. I suggest that it becomes a 0 CP unit that is locked behind one building upgrade (the upgrade that you get AFTER unlocking the building) or LT + CPT. This way it would come around the same time as other USF light vehicles which IMO are around the same power level. EDIT: to clarify I think it should unlock whether you go LT or CPT, when you get the tech that lets you research major In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relationship between commanders and game balance2 Oct 2020, 07:57 AM I don't agree that Recon Paras need m1919s for the commander to feel flexible enough, though it would be nice. I am annoyed though that if I want to get paratroopers I have to drop a pal howitzer. They should rework the pak howitzer drop so that it's an ability that Recon paratroopers get IMO or something. Or maybe dropping at a beacon causes the ability to also drop a Howie. I really don't like Rifle. The M4A3 HVS- sorry I mean E8 - is a lame feeling unit that is very expensive for being essentially a AT vehicle that is worse than the M36. It could use some abilities to spice it up. Maybe a shell switch or something. Also rifle IMo needs a new ability, maybe the flares and sprint should be bundled and they can add Cavalry Riflemen... In: COH2 Balance
