Thread: Capping mechanism14 Jul 2021, 20:53 PM Not necessarily noob friendly but yeah adding a strategic layer and mitigating difference of power between starting units around capping engagement. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Capping mechanism14 Jul 2021, 18:45 PM Do we know why devs decided to follow with the Coh2 capping mechanism over Coh1? I always though Coh1's were better in term of gameplay. What's your opinion? In: COH3 Central

Thread: Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B413 Jul 2021, 06:10 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2021, 03:24 AMGrumpy The video I posted was probably a little misleading. The wind-up takes awhile so you have to guess where they're going to be. I disabled the FOW in the replay. The player probably would've been able to save some of his Penals if he full retreated instead of soft retreated. Still the result was as hilarious as the blob of five Penals was annoying. If there was a Sturmtiger hall of fame, this shot would have to be in it as I got 32 models in one shot. The Sturmtiger still has manual reload, but that isn't the problem with it. If you time it perfectly, the shot can come out of the FOW and wipe a squad before you can react. I haven't got that good with it yet, but promise to keep trying until they nerf the range. The other problem is the guided-missile grenades that it shoots. When playing against a Sturmtiger, I've closed in on it but was unable to finish it on several occasions because the guided-missile grenades are ridiculously good. They'll usually kill at least 3 models for 20 munitions. Soviet mines were never that good and they got nerfed. As for the B4 being OP, I've tried it a few times and never had much luck with it. It's better than the ML20 but roughly on par with the LEFH. I don't even keep it in my loadout now. Interestingly enough, the current B4 is almost the same as the old ML20. The ML20 used to shoot 4x 300 damage shells instead of 3x 400 damage shells. I wish the ML20 was the current B4 and that the B4 was restored to it's former high damage, with either an AOE buff or a reload buff. Its not only about your video but personal experience ingame. Even when retreating before the wind-up will end with a full wipe and trying to move without retreating doesn't work either because the aoe is too large. If it wasn't the case we wouldn't see Sturmtiger almost every game. I think that the only squad that have a slightly chance to survive it is the 7 men cons squad. or at least that's the only type of squad I've see survive it more than once in a match.

Thread: Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B412 Jul 2021, 07:21 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2021, 00:07 AMGrumpy Sturmtiger needs larger AOE Is it hard-capped at 32? I wonder what require more skills, blobbing or pushing a button to delete everything it targets on a unit that can roam around easily due to its high armor and high HP. This unit is like a blob on itself. But a good old fashioned blob that delete everything on its path. I think part of the problem is that the amount of effort you need to put just to counter that unit is definitively too high vs the amount of effort to get benefit from it. Even if you manage to catch it off-guard with appropriate counters you need like 30 seconds to destroy it. And this not counting on the potential support the player can bring during this time. It is not that I'm against a nuke unit, but it must be a unit with various flaws exploitable by the opponent. Not what it is actually. For instance the decrew if damaged while reloading was an interesting mechanism even if flawed. So instead of simply removed it, why not having change the decrew by something else like a damage modifier giving +100% received damage while reloading. So the opponent has a windows of opportunity to deal with it quickly and force the owner of the unit to be much more careful after a shot. Oh and put back the manual reload, so the owner has a bit more to do than just going forth and back and until pushing the hit button. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: E8 is still trash9 Jul 2021, 17:11 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2021, 16:07 PMSander93 Other modes also exist. 1v1 resolves more around cost efficiency per unit and less around raw power. That is why the 76mm was such a dominant pick there, while barely ever being used in larger modes. E8 and Rifle Co seem to be doing well in 1v1 since the patch with it being the third most picked commander and USF win ratio being 49% (top 200) to 55% (all games). https://coh2stats.com/stats?range=week&statsSource=all&type=1v1&race=usf&timeStamp=1624838400 Not picked, just on the loadout. I had it on my loadout since the patch now but I never use it further than the tests I did on the first week. Not that I disagree that the Ez8 can be useful on 1vs1. Then your analysis of USF stat are... helpless. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Replace m8 Scott with the calliope.6 Jul 2021, 17:00 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2021, 16:13 PMthedarkarmadillo AT which point it will again be rengaged. Balance is getting out what you put in. Units that inflict micro or bleed while requiring none are poorly designed. A barrage leaves the counter play of moving. Auto fire means you as the Scott owner need to do a grand total of being in range and the enemy has to keep an eye on everything lest it disappear. This is why mortars were nerfed back when. This is why counter battery was nerfed. This is why the Scott was nerfed. Doesn't make your reasoning more logic, there are still quantity of unit requiring low input delivering great output in the game having bigger impact than a scott. But anyway you said the word, the Scott has been nerfed while it shouldn't have. Auto-fire being problematic doesn't mean the scott had to be nerfed into a neither good at auto-fire neither good with its barrage unit. In: COH2 Balance
