Thread: Opinions on M8A1 Scott in new patch5 Jul 2016, 19:42 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2016, 16:33 PMmiragefla Here's a tip for people saying it's not worth it, this goes with the Dozer and Brummbar as well, use attack ground to target concentrations of troops. I've tried it and brought down 3 out of 4 grens model couple of times. Most of the time missed though. Not sure if it is much different from simply autoattacking. Autoattack occasionally gets lucky shots too, but doesn't put extra strain on your already overburdened micro (and that little thing usually requires a lot!) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts may as well be removed5 Jul 2016, 19:22 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2016, 18:27 PMJadame! Cons dont die, their utility is crazy, they available right from the start in numbers, sure they suck in lategame against vetted axis infantry, but if you find yourself in position where you forced to fight vetted axis infantry with cons you should ask yourself what you did wong to allow this to happen instead of creating completely false threads asking to buff already strong unit which perfectly in place. Jadame pretty much nailed it. Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2016, 18:43 PMAustralian Magic Cons are fine. Sometimes I can achieve 40-60kills in 2v2 on 1 squad without upgrades. Tho PTRS upgrade should be a bit better... AT weapon on a squad with AT snare and ability to temporary increase movement speed shouldn't be powerful. Otherwise it would be no better than volksschrek blobs, though latter had bigger alpha strike. Also it's not like PTRS is purely AT weapon like Schrek and Zooks right now after nerf (only 25% damage to inf) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts may as well be removed5 Jul 2016, 16:14 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2016, 15:23 PMGrittle At most, cons should get a reinforce price decrease from 20 to 15 and 25% faster reinforce speed when T4 is unlocked for maximum rapid deployment Also, Molotovs and AT grenade should be merged into one 250 manpower, 30 fuel package. So now you can add a more meaningful 3rd HQ upgrade for the SU, like a passive "rapid conscription" for vehicles, costing 300 manpower, 100 fuel to unlock at T4, where for every 2 non clown car vehicles you lose, you get a free T34/76. I smell T-70/Su-76 spam Imagine that in Tank Hunter Tactics shell (dat salvage). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinions on M8A1 Scott in new patch4 Jul 2016, 20:25 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2016, 20:24 PMOmega_Warrior Best strat for them is to go mechanized with double stuarts. Your opponent will buy AT guns and schreks but then you can retreat them and build dual M8s. His AT will be pretty much useless. Hmmmm... gonna try it. Thanks for the insight! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinions on M8A1 Scott in new patch4 Jul 2016, 19:39 PM Hey, folks, I would like to hear your opinions on M8A1. I haven't found any noticeable improvement on gun performance, but 400 HP is soooo much better. I've tried to use it with Airbourne commander: camo'ed vetted Pathfinders with +5% sight range bulletin and this little thing together goes a long way. But IMO it is still very cost ineffective. It is always good to have mobile smoke dispenser around though. What's your story? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Change mortars with current mines as role model?4 Jul 2016, 14:33 PM Some time ago I came up with this idea on mortars: - remove autoattack completely - increase saturation of barrage (fire all shells in barrage in shorter period of time) - reduce lethal AoE - increase non-lethal AoE What would we achieve: - mortars now actually require input from player - damage has more "molotov-like" effect instead of "riflenade-from-FoW" - less instagibs - still kills models if those were already wounded More options - implement two types of barrage: - saturation barrage - all shells fired in shortest time interval (used when you need burst damage) - covering barrage - longer interval between shells (when you need to deny some area from enemy) I don't like idea of adding suppression to mortars. It easly can become an uncontollable hell. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Time for Commander Buffs4 Jul 2016, 08:03 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2016, 20:45 PMSuperhet Commanders have been flawed for so long despite being one of the easiest to fix aspects of the game, that I don't think it's ever gonna happen. When was the last time a commander was ever positively changed design-wise? You guys are wasting your breath. Relatively recent: Quality changes - Partisan Tactics (AI partisans always spawn with PPSh, AT - always with schrek) Soviet Reserve Army (irregulars replaced with schrektisans) Elite Troops (vet training replaced with stormtroopers) Rifle Company (removed insta vet RMs, moved flamer from RMs to REs) Soviet Industry (replaced "Soviet Industry" ability with fuel paradrop) Elite Armor Doctrine (Pz.IV battlegroup replaced with Sturmtiger) Stats changes - Lend-Lease Tactics, Defensive Tactics (DSHKa buffs) PPSh commanders (PPSh buffs so they won't be downgrade on mid distance) ML-20 commanders (reworked number of shells, IIRC also damage) Just few thing off the top of my head. Not all these changes has made related commanders 100% viable, but these were steps in right direction nontheless. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2016, 23:20 PMTobis Would love if the 45mm light AT-gun could be given the same gun as a t-70. Make it decent against both lights and a unique gun that can help with infantry, when it loses its usefulness against vehicles. I thought about the same, but I came to conclusion that this may be too OP. Just imagine 6-man T-70 gun a-moving blob as early as 2 CP. It should get AN ABILITY (with ammo cost) to switch to HE shells and it should work for several seconds (or several shots?). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Infantry3 Jul 2016, 12:15 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2016, 13:15 PMRappy Problem with this is that OKW has the most pathetic support weapons for combined arms. Raketens get instant decrewed by anything really. They fall into enemy hands very easily and are then retreated. [...] So why don't you then instantly decrew enemy raketen (with anything) and recapture it back and retreat it? In: COH2 Balance

STUFF My basic point being the average (http://coh2chart.com/) is based off raw data... Which doesn't really represent which factions are better than the other. Do you refer to whole data (all pages) or to "General" page in particular? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Any reason for it?30 Jun 2016, 16:34 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2016, 16:27 PMBudwise Kati your numbers in a vacuum of 2 tanks sitting right in front of each other not moving is a poor argument. This never happens, pretty much ever so please stop pointing to it like it is the answer let alone an answer because it is clearly the answer for someone who doesn't actually play the game. Indeed. This what happened to me when I didn't used stop right before shooting. You can miss on the move pretty much from any range > 0. In: COH2 Balance
