One of the things that annoys me the most about COH 2 is that it literally takes seconds to type up a tooltip like I did here in this photo and yet the game lacks basic quality of life features like this.

Any game involving strategy needs to have Numerical Data visible to the player. Wether it be Civilization, Starcraft, X-Com you name it information is visible to the player.

Instead Relic is like "Vehicle Crews are more experienced" meanwhile the Ability/Veterancy is wildly different or adding hidden bonuses without any way of knowing about it unless you Data Mine the game.

And if that tooltip is correct that means the description is wrong in the first place lmao. So even on top of that it's the wrong info/ misleading sometimes.

Pls check who I quoted and replied to because it was not you.

Fair, but he didn't state that KV-1 "needed a buff" either.

Ostheer hull down vehicles face 60 range TDs with high penetration, KV-1 do not.

KV-1 is already a very cost efficient tank it simply does not need any buffs.

Do you have reason why balance wise KV-1 neeeds a buff? else one can simply change the name of abilities...

Now that I've had some time to think, I actually do have more to say about this.

First off, I never said that KV-1 needed a buff. If you'll read my post, you'll see that my words were: "...if the OST version is more impactful/ better the only supposed balance reason was because it was necessary to use pioneers to do it...[now that this is not the case,] shouldn't they be brought in line with each other? For consistency's sake. Make OST hulldown KV-1 level or the other way around."

Now I want to just say that OSTs Hulldown ability was designed with the downside of having to be dug in by infantry. My assumption is that this is the reason why it was given extra range (so that the tanks can be effective further back without having to be dug in at too risky a position) while the KV-1 was given reload speed instead.

Now, I may not be a high ranking player, but considering that now the ability can be used anywhere at any time, regardless of troops present, I think that the ability deserves to be at the same level as SOV.

I will take your argument and use it back on you; considering that this ability was balanced with the idea that infantry would be the ones digging it in, why does it *need* to stay at the same level?

A panther--which has 960 health to begin with(already the amount of effective HP a KV-1 gets in hulldown, and additionally an extra hit of health VS ANY allied tank destroyer)--when hulled down recieves not only one but TWO extra hits of health, AND gets its weapon range extended to 62 and a half units!

If it was a defensive only ability, this would be excusable, but the fact is that it is now available for use regardless of whether or not there is infantry support. Meaning that it can be used at any time to easily counter those said 60 range allied TDs.

I just don't think that it needs to be at that level for an ability available to every one of OST's tanks with no requirement other than to spec into a doctrine which has hulldown.

If I'm missing something here, please correct me.

Of all things I would prefer the developers give an option to switch all descriptions to numerical values and blunt descriptions instead of the vagueness that it is currently.

That and the names to be changed.

There is no problem with balance if the abilities would be the same. Please explain the problem you seem to see.

Yeah actually now that I think about it, if the OST version is more impactful/ better the only supposed balance reason was because it was necessary to use pioneers to do it.

But now it isn't the case sooooo.... shouldn't they be brought in line with each other? For consistency's sake. Make OST hulldown KV-1 level or the other way around.
