Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf25 Jul 2014, 04:45 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 03:31 AMwongtp to those crying about using pumas, its the same with using t34s you numbskulls. finally got what you deserved. also you can hear the sound when katyusha is firing, why arent you dodging? this is so much fun. it hits a huge area and fills it with rockets, dont blob! im really loving all these german tears right now. dont worry, you guys still have the best infantry that has been overperforming for way too long with the lmg34s. next up, nerf obers! ok,seriously, it fires too fast and does too much to okw buildings, that is all. keep it at 75secs and let it do reduced damage to buildings and it will be fine. it should never share the same cooldown as stuka because stuka is a precision artillery. katyushas has a huge degree of randomness and is heavily affected by scatter. katyushas cant wipe a lone mg42 or pak consistently unless rng hates you. the only time katyushas does epicly is against blobs, which is the reason why many of you are getting hit hard. time to learn the hard way and spread out. I keep saying the same thing over and over. The two are completely different in how they apply damage. The stuka is a fast devastating nuke that hits exactly where you want it to. The kat is a fast devastating nuke that spreads its damage all over an area completely randomly. Both will punish you if you blob, but the stuka has a much higer damage potential due to the 0 scatter and predetermined firing path. I think the cool downs on both justify the kind of gains to be had by using them. The issue is as stated, you can get to many goddamn kats on the field right now and it's not really very punishing if you lose them. Rather than nerf it back to uselessness I just want it to be more expensive to justify it as an expensive anti blob weapon. But yea it needs a massive nerf vs buildings right now, that is just silly.

Thread: OKW arty call in instantly destroys your base?25 Jul 2014, 02:27 AM Just has this happen again on a 2 on 2,puma buzzed past my at guns and rifles, drove into our base and boom everything explodes and dies. Was a shame as the game had a pretty good back and forth, but losing every building you have, even if your mate is still in the game is pretty much a death sentence. It's actually kind of hilarious in a way that stuff like this happens but I remind myself it's a relic title. In: COH2 Gameplay

Nevertheless all 3 vehicles were destroyed. Yea I would love to see that happen as I haven't been able to reliably even damage armor with them... I have however lost tanks and light armor to stuka, not sure if it's the pen or the splash that's doing the damage. In: COH2 Balance

"just don't blob" It's actually hilarious how it's the exact reverse situation in the stuka thread. You have a handful of allied players saying it's broken and an overwhelming majority of Germans saying it's fine. I think the majority of the forums just plays Germans. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf24 Jul 2014, 20:24 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 20:20 PMwooof yes, lets consider the difference in damage. like milka said, 16 rockets at 160 damage is 2560 damage. compare that to 6 rockets at 200 damage which is only 1200 damage. considering it only takes a single rocket for a squad wipe, ill take 16 over 6 the katyusha is also unpredictable and hits faster. you have less time to react and the rockets will hit more than just a straight line. you can even manipulate katyusha scatter to your advantage. if you want to quickly destroy a building, get close. if you want a large amount of spread to hit units that arent in a blob, barrage from max range. if only soviets had cheaper AT infantry that also spawned from buildings. Are you actually suggesting someone might actually use the partisan doctrine lol? That actually made me laugh. Yes over the course of what 20s the Kat will do more damage to an area? Are you going to sit there for 20s and get shelled or move? And yes let's drive our art that dies to a stiff breeze to point blank range shall we? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf24 Jul 2014, 20:07 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 20:01 PMDarthBong420 I am. Kat every 60 seconds with this damage is way better. Stuka does all of its damage instantly. Kat takes quite a while and acts as an area denial weapon. Your problem is you don't seem to feel you should lose anything to an artillery weapon. Vs the allies who have dealt with fucking stuka wipes since launch and have far fewer counters. Oh and you even get a nifty infra red half track for extra hilarity. Therefore it makes no sense to double its fucking cool down. The problem is they are too easy to field so they need to be more expensive. Additionally fals popping out of buildings can insta kill these with a faust and I am already seeing people in team games adapting. Give it a week and reassess. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf24 Jul 2014, 19:56 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 19:48 PMDarthBong420 you fucking kidding right? kat destroys mgs and paks there is nothing that can be done. don't even go into okw. kat destroys their base buildings 1 or 2 strikes. fuck with armor pen bulletin in can even destroy p4's. kat can do this over and over and over every minute. We know that damage vs buildings is way out of whack. And yes I have killed setup teams with the Kat and have also lost them repeatedly to the stuka. I have never seen a Kat damage armor however and I have had 3 of them firing on a tank. The exception was the jagd which got stunned by the rockets, but it always gets stunned when damaged. I think a price increase is justified but making the cooldown equivalent is absurd consider the difference in damage output. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf24 Jul 2014, 19:46 PM Plus why is it okay that the Germans get a fucking nuclear bomb carrier with no scatter that routinely wiped squads but everyone is outraged over the Kat actually being useful? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf24 Jul 2014, 19:44 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 19:19 PMCannonade Thanks, but I asked him. Meaning I want to hear his justification. Lienz foest, as soon as you hear it firing you have to retreat all squads and weapon teams and even then it's a potential wipe. I had an mg, and 2 rifle squads running after I got scanned as well as a Sherman repairing in the back. He got the Sherman the mg squad and most of both rifles by firing backwards. A lot of the maps have narrow choke points that can't be easily avoided, plus many times the stuka bombs will insta kill setup teams that can't get out fast enough. I don't see a Kat doing that In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katyusha seriously need a nerf24 Jul 2014, 17:56 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 17:54 PMbraciszek Allies still blob. Dat fresh fanboyism smell... Its the same 5 people arguing against tons of people who know what they are saying. Talk is cheap. It needs a cooldowm increase* 6 280 mm rockets take a helluva long time fo load for the stuka zu fuss. Its the same for the katyusha's 16 180 mm rockets. Yes call me a fanboi despite the fact that I play all factions pretty regularly. Your argument makes about as much sense. The stukas reload time means its balanced? You are conveniently ignoring the post that has about 12,000 views which clearly indicates it is not balanced. So yea fanboism works both ways. The stuka still maintains 100% accuracy and does far more damage in a much shorter time despite the fact that it has a longer fucking reload. Right now the only problem with the Kat is it can be spammed while the werfer cannot. Hence the goddamn cost increase. In: COH2 Balance
