Thread: OKW (balance preview mode) - concerns and solutions7 Jun 2016, 06:45 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jun 2016, 00:38 AMFiresparks the light vehicle meta is inescapable by this point. Every factions are basically expected to be fielding a light vehicle by about the 6:00 mark. Forcing the OKW to get healing or to get their light vehicle will have pretty devastating consequences. it's also a more relevant topic for 1v1. Any well coordinated Axis team is going to split their tech. One okw go medical truck and one okw go mech truck, or just have an ost plater build a medical bunker. In addition, a flak ht buff instead of a raketen/schreck buff means that the OKW will be forced to spend fuel, instead of relying on manpower/munition purchase. Are we talking about a faction having in the balance mod: T0 shreck + t0 Pfaust + t0 raken + T2 Puma + T2 jagpanzer + T3 Panther + ultimately King Tiger? And you are complaining because that faction have to make a choice between heal or early light vehicle? Not mentioning sturmpio still have medic crates and basic infantry passive healing vet3 (or vet4). Sometime, it is good to think the faction has a whole, on not only every single unit in a vacuum. Because at this stage I'll ask the M15 to be equiped with tulip rockets because you know it doesn't cut it when come medium tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW (balance preview mode) - concerns and solutions4 Jun 2016, 17:03 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jun 2016, 14:36 PMJohnnyB Unfortunately, raketen doens't fit to these fatures. It has no staying power - it needs to constantly run back to base or get decrewed. What good is an AT unit that shoots one time and then it has to run? Or that is easily decrewed by its verry own pray? Sturms are not deadly (they have only one shreck, compared to pzgrens that has 4 models also, BUT they have 2 shrecks) and can get wiped pretty quick. Not even a combo between these 2 units can offer a proper AT solution, I didn't felt that. So I thought to some solutions: Build a Puma and stop asking for buff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Ace not viable3 Jun 2016, 10:29 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jun 2016, 10:11 AMXutryn_X7 Make him even 330 fuel or 800/1000 MP but it's stupid to have those manpower penalties and fuel penalties.I told you,the longer the game it get's the longer you will be in disadvantage.And for that price make him deal 240 damage.It's exactly as a normal vet3 tiger.In 5 minutes with a normal Tiger you will get vet 2 and another panther but with tiger ace in 5 minutes at least you can reinforce your army not to say to build another unit I don't understand why you want to change the design of this doctrine if your wish is to get from it something similar to the 2/3 doctrines providing normal tigers. Put those doctrines in your loadout and leave the Ace where it sits. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Valkyria Chronicles Skin Competition3 Jun 2016, 08:40 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jun 2016, 06:54 AMwouren The issue that I have is that rita's skins were fine and it seems a bit like a slap in the face to RitaRush, despite all the time and energy she put in. I may have over-exaggerated in my post a little, so I get your point. I could town it down a few notches. I see it the other way around, Rita's great work lead Relic into organizing this event because many people are using her skins. I don't know if Rita has been retributed for the 2 first set of skin but she definitely can participate to the contest and win some. That's a good thing to put in an artist book or CV, showing a company organizing a contest after your first release. In: Lobby

Thread: [OKW] Possible alternatives for the MG42 call in30 May 2016, 19:06 PM Remove shreck from Sturm and keep pzfaust for Volks. Then put shreck CP1 or 2 on Sturm. Or the other way around. Keep the shrecks on Sturm and add CP1 or 2 pzfaust on Volks. In: Lobby
Thread: How do you counter Ostheer sniper as USF?30 May 2016, 17:46 PM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2016, 17:10 PMwouren What about last minute zook dismounts or luring the 222 over M20 mines? Sidenote: I think it's funny how people were saying that the bazooka was OP against panthers when it's hard even to take down a 222, You have to control both side of the map, the sniper usually stay around mid. So cap sides and keep your rifles out of vision behind shot blockers. Or he is going to move to cap one side and you ambush him, or he is going to your cutoff and you flank him from everywhere. Masterkey word is do not hard retreat all your squads at the same time or it is pretty much GG for him. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Repair Speed Tweaks30 May 2016, 10:07 AM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2016, 09:44 AMKatitof That TA 1v1 meta, especially with buffed allied TDs on balance mod surely will make TA so much more dangerous Pair of pios/CEs do a fine job at vet2, thing is, getting there is extremely challenging if you don't go for flamers every time. These two suffer the same and I'm not talking about making pios and CEs rep speeds match vet2 sweeper spios, but either improvement with sweeper or ability for sweeper to actually get to vet2 for the bonus. Needing 3-4 squads to effectively repair what other factions do with single one isn't exactly balanced in my book. Buffed allied TD in 1vs1 means still having 1 or 2 TDs (dedicated tank destroyer doing jack shit vs anything else) vs a unit able to 2 shots any kind of infantry squad and tanks. 1 TD, buffed or not, isn't going to cut a TA. I like the " getting extremly challenging idea" when you associate it with what it is for, increasing the repair speed for your heavy tanks. The same tanks getting armor bonus with vet.

Thread: Repair Speed Tweaks30 May 2016, 08:56 AM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2016, 08:37 AMKatitof Because it doesn't make much sense to have 3 armies with excelent repair speeds and two more ones who are completely gimped there while all 5 depend on armor equally. Possibility to have faster repairs with sweepers for sov and ost would go a long way and if not that, then even making it possible to vet them with sweepers in a reasonable time to get that vet2 bonus speed would go a long way. I can't wait for 1vs1 games Tiger Ace instant repair on the field simply by equiping sweeper. Teamgames are already broken because of OKW being able to fast repair Ostheer tanks. OKW repair speed bonus should have been nerfed the moment resource restriction was gone. Relic now decides to only make it as an upgrade is the minimum move. - Ostheer is a faction that can field stock panther/brumbar + whatever special heavy/super heavy unit it wants and not to mention their tanks gain armor with vet. - Soviet doesn't have stock heavy tanks and doesn't get armor with vet. Not having stock heavy is probably why you don't feel the need to have faster repair speed. Your tank have less HP pool to repair. - USF, again, what is the heaviest HP pool to repair? 800? And you are asking why paper tanks faction has better repair speed? - UKF: Don't have the faction, I have no idea if the repair speed bonus is ok or not. If not, adjust it, not Ostheer one.

Thread: Double Stuart into Pershing30 May 2016, 08:44 AM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2016, 08:21 AMCookiezNcreem cool strat. tried it vs Brad in one of my older replays(triple Stuart) and also used it from time to time in 2v2 but not with Pershing yet, but with M10s and armor company, it's a great way to get 2 early Thompson crew squads... Call me crazy Works best vs ostheer to really Avalanche your light vehicle rifle blob advantage. They have to get like a pgren shrek squad to properly counter before they get the CP or t3 tech, or they just get steamrolled if you do it right. Vs OKW though they can just pump out too many shreks and in turn, it ends up making your Stuart's way harder to use than they should be, makes them borderline useless as its a lot of resources and delayed techtied into them to each be countered by one shrek squad being in the vicinity.. I think so the strat is much more viable vs OKW in 1vs1 than 2vs2, You can also see if your opponent use a lot of grenade, if yes ==> dual Stuart. I think this will be the new meta when OKW loses the shreks and shermans loose their crush ..but it depends.. do the relic preview sturms get shreks or Is that mirages mod only.. totally agreeing, I have the same thought, I'm really looking forward to see if OKW get Shreck+pzfaust or one or the other. I really hope for the second option or Light/medium play will be dead vs OKW. In: US Forces Strategies
