Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost27 Dec 2018, 22:39 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 20:06 PMelchino7 If you want to rework Soviets (good luck with that), make another thread about it. 221 is simple the Obers of the vehicles. It's not meant to stay vanilla and the fuel upgrade is just there as a stopgap. I wouldn't buff the performance, but would play by moving around the cost to build and the cost to upgrade. Take 5f from it and move it to the upgrade. If the unit is not getting vet reasonable, improve the range/speed of the shared vet. Want to see the performance when people get access to riegels. The unit has shared vet. Doesn't need to be on first line to vet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 22:06 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 21:50 PMTobis Not only conscript, but getting 1-2 for support helps a lot. One penal + one conscript will be better off attacking 1 volks + one JLI if you have mollies teched than 2 penals. Till when? early game that can work, but when cons become obsolete you're not going to do anything more. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 21:28 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 18:22 PMTobis The .9 cover accuracy on the g43 makes them beat penals in cover regardless of range, though it's somewhat close at range 10. You can literally move the penals up one meter to range 9 and annihilate the jaegers because they aren't in cover, but he wants to ignore that. That's reasonable performance for a 280mp squad with 45 muni upgrade. I see a lot of, "why can't my penal spam beat combined arms?" in this thread. Try out new unit combos in the new meta. JLI are literally designed to counter penals and guards. Flamer CE, conscripts with molotovs, and shocks are all good versus JLI. JLI are obviously going to be nerfed in the next patch, they aren't a 250 mp squad. Comparing them to pathfinders doesn't work because pathfinders are pretty shit, only good because they come at cp0 now. Would like to see them buffed too. The problem is how well they work with volks. Also you can't really be serious telling people to go conscripts vs OKW to counter JLI. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart25 Dec 2018, 10:53 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 08:38 AMVan Der Bolt So, how would u suggest to use it? Stuart is not a shock unit so don't use it that way. As Jar mentioned it, it does the job to cover your flanks from lone capping squad so that's one task you can assign him. Otherwise it needs combined arms to perform decently, the sight range increase at vet1 and gives quite a boost for a faction lacking sight if you hadn't selected a dedicated doctrine with sight bonus, M20 + Stuart combo can also be quite a thing early game to roam the battlefield. The main function of the stuart is to offer support to your squads, you say zooks are better to keep lvs at bay but I'll answer that zook + stuart can seal the deal vs any lvs. Following that logic the stuart is not difficult to hit vet2 or vet3 when your first medium hit the field, it is then up to you to swap crews... I have to recognized that unlike I thought at the beginning I'm mostly using capt that lt since the patch went live but that's because it feet better my playstyle than being better than T1.

Thread: Increase light jaegars price22 Dec 2018, 09:35 AM Maybe Relic can now remove STGs from Volks, OKW would relic on various "elite" infantry to do the dps while volks keep their main task: soak damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The new Sector assault 21 Dec 2018, 11:25 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2018, 03:56 AMtightrope I think it needs to be toned down a little, maybe in the size of the targeting area. As others mentioned in team games you should definitely get AA for this just like stuka CAS. Imo AA isn't the right answer, the game basic hasn't been designed around strong Air damage and AA are just a cosmetic "Every game tells a story". Sometimes I've got an AA on the sector and the time it takes to be in position aim and shot, the plane already delivered its load, or sometimes I think I'm in range but no the bastard doesn't want to shoot. Then AA are too random and too expensive to maintain but on the other hand if they were hitting everytime skillplane would become useless. Air and Anti-Air mechanisms haven't great design in this game, we can see it in every match they are involved. I think we went to much into AirStuffblowseverything as doctrinal abilities as a lazy option to make those commanders appealing. Hope the new commanders will be designed without them.

Thread: can we now fix soviet T2 please?20 Dec 2018, 11:22 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2018, 10:18 AMSpanky I am a t2 player myself, 1v1 or 2v2 and from my experience, maxims work great if you have the ability and knowledge to predict your opponents moves. Experienced players are just better at predicting, so they can win the first engagements and gain map control and this comes from years of practice. Edit: what I'm trying to say, is that t2 is fine. It used to be over the top. Then if your opponent has the same ability than you, what do you do? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Sector Assault needs to be fixed ASAP19 Dec 2018, 15:15 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2018, 15:06 PMSmartie Well, as i mentioned above the ability should have higher CP requirements and higher munition costs. I also said that the ability should be replaced if the obvious problems cant be fixed. Lets keep in mind that we basically agree on this. But we disagree about the role of the leFH. Its true that Axis factions have powerful tools to counter them but this is also true the other way around. USF and UK can build Sextons / Priests who counter howies very well. Soviets can just use "combined arms commander" who have recon planes and bombing run. With that combo you can also destroy every howie. I just think that the mod team did an amazing job with the new Overwatch commander. The only thing that needs adjustments is Sector assault. Lefh isn't the problem, T3 defending it is in 1vs1. Overwatch could be renamed Overthetop today... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Sector Assault needs to be fixed ASAP19 Dec 2018, 13:47 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2018, 12:43 PMSander93 In essence this isn't any different from what Relic did which is just releasing the patch and have the audience crash test it, and hotfixing the biggest issues shortly after. The entire playerbase can do more testing in a few days than a testing team could do in months. Anyways Sector Assault issues are now known and are being looked into. Yeah I know but making it official so people are less about to bitch about, or at least we can let them bitch and do the right stuff. In: COH2 Gameplay
