Thread: I strongly oppose the Soviet sniper change25 Apr 2018, 22:05 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 18:20 PMzarok47 Because it doesn't. Sov sniper (live) has more hp than ost (110 vs 82). Sov sniper is too durable. Hp is nerfed. You can still bleed Sov sniper for 90 MP when it loses model. You can't bleed Wehrmacht sniper if you didn't killed him. A mortar shell can still one-shot Soviet Sniper Team. Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 18:20 PMzarok47 Why does it shoot slower? it faces smaller sqauds (name 1 non-doc 5 man axis sqaud that isn't volks). ONCE AGAIN why does Wehrmacht sniper shoots faster when it faces 4-man Tommies and USF/UKF support weapon crews as well as some of the other 4-man squads? Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 18:20 PMzarok47 And for the kicker, giving sov sniper same hp and same dps as ost sniper will kill ostheer (support weapon faction anyone?). [...] EXACTLY. But they are RAISING Soviet Sniper rate of fire while nerfing its durability. KEEP it 2-man, increase rec acc a bit. Do NOT raise rate of fire in order to compensate for durabiliy nerf. What's funny is that AS A MOSTLY SOVIET PLAYER (and sniper user) I think that this change is overall a BUFF to Soviet sniper. I still oppose this change as I hate that homogenization trend going on lately. I mostly play 4v4 with my friends and almost never lose Sniper to small arms fire. I do lose it occasionally to mortar shells. 82 HP is a good thing to have in such case. ON TOP OF RAISED RATE OF FIRE. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I strongly oppose the Soviet sniper change25 Apr 2018, 17:53 PM We can't have reliable statistical data on whether snipers are "too durable" or not. I don't know how to resolve this issue into non-opinionated non-biased set of claims based on pure facts. Maybe we could do some modelling using unit stats... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I strongly oppose the Soviet sniper change25 Apr 2018, 17:08 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 17:06 PMNosliw I wasn't ignoring anything man. I was simply stating that Soviets by design have weapon teams that are better able to survive artillery/mortars/nades simply for the reason of "flavour", rather than for any balance sense. Obviously it is for flavour. Otherwise there would be 1 faction. Games would be completely balanced (if you exclude map balance and spawnpoint balance). And yet - nobody would play such game. It just doesn't mean that this is unbalanced. One side have more HP, other side have more DPS. Which isn't true for Snipers in next update. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I strongly oppose the Soviet sniper change25 Apr 2018, 17:03 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 17:02 PMNosliw Bro I said 6 men are more survivable. 6 x 80 health on an AT gun is better than 4 x 80 health... that's just basic math. Against explosives - yes. Against small arms fire - more input required (recieved accuracy and shooters accuracy). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I strongly oppose the Soviet sniper change25 Apr 2018, 16:12 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 16:06 PMNosliw Even better, imagine this common scenario: Grenadier runs toward a lonely Soviet sniper. The sniper gets off 1 shot before the Grenadier comes into range. The grenadier (who has same total squad DPS) has now lost 1 man, and thus 25% of the squads firepower. The soviet sniper can now retreat while being attacked by a squad at 75% power. Conscript runs toward a lonely Axis sniper. The sniper gets off 1 shot before the Conscript comes into range. The conscript (who has the same total squad DPS) has now lost 1 man, and thus 16.7% of the squads firepower. The axis sniper can now retreat while being attacked by a squad at 83.3% power. Get the picture? Yes, that's a good point, but things change if you add LMG42 on top of Grens, which shifts HUGE portion of their DPS to a single model. It also have "side effect" (irrelevant if shooting one-man sniper, but relevant if it is two-man sniper team) of focusing that portion of DPS on a single model, unlike Cons, who usually spread their DPS around several models. Well, in case of Cons shooting sniper that's still one model In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I strongly oppose the Soviet sniper change25 Apr 2018, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2018, 15:59 PMNosliw Ah man, you completely missed Zarok's point: Cons: Low DPS per model x 6 men = Same DPS as grenadier (who has higher DPS per model) Therefore, even so conscript models have lower DPS than Grenadier models, since you're not likely to be chasing down snipers with 1 man conscript squads, the DPS of a 6 man conscript chasing an axis sniper is basically equal to the DPS of a 4 man grenadier squad chasing a soviet sniper. Do you understand now? Oh, and don't forget that Soviets get Oorah! ability to close the gap even easier. I get your point. I'm not sure if Total DPS of Cons = Total DPS of Grens. Otherwise Cons would always win against Grens at any range just because Cons have more EHP. Can you (or anybody?) provide link to some reliable source of unit stats so I could double-check it? And Oorah is quite useless for chasing as it removes shooting on the move. In: COH2 Balance
