Thread: Any reason ostheer medical kits don't heal to full health?18 Dec 2015, 15:54 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2015, 18:13 PMDullahan Most active healing abilities don't heal to full health. USF didn't either until they made the ambulance a toggle rather than an active ability. (Why did this happen btw? To cater to scrubs who couldn't micro it?) Brit heal and ostheer medkits work the same way, they heal about 75-80% so if you're extremely low on hp you won't get quite to full health. Maybe there's some variance in the exact numbers but this has been my basic experience with such abilities. IIRC it was pitched as an anti-blobbing thing. Since it's not a timed ability, no need to bunch up all your units at once to get it. Since you're not bunching up your units all at once, you're less likely to wander into the field in a massed group when you're done. That said, ambo micro was dumb. It took up apm for no reason in a faction that was already overflowing with apm sinks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Scope15 Dec 2015, 00:24 AM Scope generally is fine but scope plus vet 2 scout car probably needs adjustment. FFS you can see all the way into the opposing base from the far side of the center VP in crossing in the woods There should at least be some kind of tell that the areas which are normally very far away from enemy eyes are being observed.

Thread: 150 fuel panzer 4 increase it's penetration. 11 Dec 2015, 05:28 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2015, 02:08 AMFiresparks the concept of an "early" or "late" game faction is flawed. That said, I do think the problem is the fact OKW have an early game on par with the Soviet and USF while having an amazingly late game. This 10x. Clock based balance is a bad way to go about it, not least because it makes it needlessly difficult to keep 1s and 4s balanced at the same time. Besides which, the vet 5 system plus easy access to good armor means that OKW's lategame is probably always going to have the highest potential strength. Giving these things to the faction that was supposed to be Axis' earlygame was boneheaded. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Royal Artillery Regiment10 Dec 2015, 16:45 PM Eh, I'm not sure that giving good artillery to a turtle faction is a good idea. True, emplacements are bad right now, but history suggests that they're going to get buffed at some point. If the sexton/base howitzers are good when that happens it's a recipe for a balance clusterfuck even worse than what we've presently got. Getting battered to death from an unassailable fort is not my idea of a good time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW free AA 8 Dec 2015, 21:26 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Dec 2015, 21:16 PMAustralian Magic It's simple. I'm perfectly fine with planes being brought down by Ostwind or 251/17. It's fine. Yet Schwerer and base flaks are really annoying. In team games Lend-Lease and Industry are just pointless becasue of 2-4 Schweres. Not to mention other air abilities. This needs to go away. I ran a test agasint 2 Schwerers. 5 planes out of 11 were brought down. Free schrecks, free nades, cheapest tech and free AA? That's way to much. Sooting down planes shout be a reword for investing in Ostwind, 251/17, AA HT or Quad. But shooting down planes for free is just too much. Just had I game where 2 planes were shot down yet there was no AA unit. I wasted 200 ammo for nothing and my 200ammo were countered for free. Flak bases ans Schwerer should lose AA abilities. It's also kind of bizarre that the OKW of all possible armies ends up with reliable-ish control of the skies. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 Survey In-Game8 Dec 2015, 21:19 PM Relic if you're reading this, my real answer is that the allied factions were somewhat* over performing before the Dec 3rd patch in 2v2, but the Dec 3rd patch probably over corrected and now it's the axis that are overperforming (but we'll need a bit more time to see if it's just maladaption on the part of the allied player base.) * overperforming within a reasonable margin, but definitely in need of some adjustment.

Thread: Relic must act !!! OKW need tone down & Brtis need buffs8 Dec 2015, 05:07 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Dec 2015, 10:43 AMMoerserKarL yeah because all the high priced tournaments with all the viewers are uninterested and irrelevant(SNF,OCF etc.). Those "niche little game mode" got the most viewers in fact CoH2 tournaments aren't creating new players, it's more like the new players are the audience for tournaments. And, frankly, there are almost as many current soviet 4v4 players (7191) as there are current 1v1 players of all factions (10561.) In: COH2 Gameplay

Excessive turtling makes for boring, frustrating games and should be discouraged. In: COH2 Balance
