Especially when you can 100% guarantee it to happen with Airbourne Company. You mean like scope on tank with jaeger armor doctrine? what's most OP, tank that can self spot or atgun that can self-spot? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback24 Apr 2021, 21:05 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2021, 20:57 PMgeneral_gawain So whats the goal of the change then if it is still 45? Adjustments to their sight have been made to make weapons recrewed by Pathfinders slightly less potent. I guess someone on the balance team had a bad game vs USF and wanted to nerf it but realistically nerfing it more would without any real argument wasn't possible. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback24 Apr 2021, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2021, 19:50 PMgeneral_gawain The sight of the squad stays the same its only the individual sight of the entity thatg ot reduced so that a 50.cal drop crewed with pathfinders has no selfspot anymore. I do think that is the goal of this change. They still can self spot at 45 range instead of 50 when recrewing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My USF tech rework idea.24 Apr 2021, 06:47 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2021, 20:52 PMHannibal The point I quoted was you saying that 60 fuel is too much as a preinvestment before getting an LV. The MP and build order is another issue, I only wanted to point out that fuel wise, not much changes from live to OP's suggestion Fuel wise your first soft counter to 222 or 221 is gated behind 60 fuel instead of coming on the lieutenant. Fuel wise you have nothing to counter pzgren before 60 fuel and tech the 400mp captain instead of having him with one bar. I'm fully aware that change nothing for the lv timing but those aren't the topic here, i'm talking getting cpt or lt and what they bring to the player 30 fuel and 400 mp later with nothing to compensate it. As I said, before the ostheer revamp I would have agree, not anymore today. In: COH2 Balance

If anything, you could tech those a bit later because you could buy a doubly upgraded squad. By OP's suggestion you would have to get 4 rifles to stay relevant early game. Instead of having a superior unit from tech (lt or cpt) and associate it with your next unit from tech, you'll be stuck with having to chose between them. Some time ago I would have agree with this proposal to get ride of the free units but today other factions have been balanced around it already. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My USF tech rework idea.23 Apr 2021, 16:42 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2021, 13:48 PMHannibal At least in that regard, currently everything is locked behind 55 fuel tech, so that's not a huge difference. Racks and ambulance would like to have a word with you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My USF tech rework idea.23 Apr 2021, 08:36 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2021, 08:10 AMC3 TOOTH HQ: - Riflemen - Rear - Ambulance - Mortar Platoon: 30fuel - ATgun - Supportgun (requires Mechanize Platoon OR Company) Mechanize Platoon: 30fuel - Lieu (400mp), has double Bar by default - AAHT Company: 30fuel - MG - M20 (requires Mechanize Company OR Platoon) Mechanize Company: 30fuel - Cap (400mp), has double Zook by default - Stuart Battalion: 90fuel - Sherman - Carrier Mechanize Battalion: 30fuel - Major - Jackson - Doc tanks ========================================= .Lieu, Cap, Major are no more free squads, you have to buy them in Mechanize tech. This is to avoid getting 2 free squads mid game for USF. .Players who go for Platoon & Company tech will get 2 free squads, while the units diversity is really low mid game (Riflemen, Rear, Lieu, Cap + weapon teams). This new tech will give them various units in mid game no matter which tech they go. .There are many tech paths for USF to pick. Each of them is unique -Platoon(AT) + Company(AI): ATgun, supportgun, MG, M20 -Platoon(AT) + MechaPlat(AI): ATgun, supportgun, Lieu, AAHT -Company(AI) + MechaCom(AT): MG, M20 , Cap, Stuart I dont know how to ping people in this forum, I wish to ping Sander That's simply bad. The free squad is completely mandatory actually since it doesn't bring anymore an outnumber but the same number of unit your opponent already have on the field. You'll have to severely reduce the cost of T1 or T2 to make it balanced with the mandatory 4th riflemen your revamp impose to the player. It also reduce the diversity of the faction going back into 4 rifles BO almost every game unless picking a commander with call-in infantry. Second point is early lieutnant zook is also mandatory, with your logic USF player going company tech doesn't have a single early AT counter before investing 60 fuel and then 400mp or 70 fuel more on a stuart. third point is the complete lack of shock value before getting 60 fuel invested on one tier, how are you supposed to fight early pzgren followed by 222 if everything that have the same shock value is locked behind 60 fuel tech In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - OKW Feedback22 Apr 2021, 14:41 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2021, 11:01 AMSmartie It was just a Suggestion. A lower fuel price would completly allright for me. And then you can build the first one sooner and get a second to seal the deal with USF/UKF still stuck without any reliable coutner?

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - OKW Feedback21 Apr 2021, 16:48 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2021, 15:53 PMGachiGasm Well and JLI arent getting their weapons for free and arent 0CP inf. But its not the point I was making, my point was to make Panzefusiliers into a recon squad or recon+AT squad. Panzerfusillers from the patch that gave them their new role: Panzerfusilliers The way Panzerfusiliers are deployed has been changed to better match their role as an alternative mainline infantry to Volksgrenadiers. They will be slightly weaker than Volksgrenadiers at the start but have access to the Anti-Tank Rifle Grenades, slightly better combat veterancy, and more powerful upgrades, giving them increased power in the late game. This should make for interesting choices and compositions. Now cost 280 MP Now available at 0 CPs from the Regimental Headquarters. Flare cost reduced from 45 to 35 Initial squad size from 6 to 5 Grenade AOE distance from 0.75/1.5/2.25 to 1/2/3 Timed ‘Sprint’ ability replaces Passive Sprint at veterancy 5. Sprint lasts for 5 seconds Upgrade route 1 - Panzershrecks Can be upgraded with two Panzerschrecks for 100 munitions. Disables AT Rifle Grenades. Locks out G43s. Requires Mechanized or Battlegroup Headquarters to be deployed Upgrade route 2 - Recon Package (G43s) Recon package now increases squad size from 5 to 6. Now takes up 1 weapon slot from 0. Requires Mechanized or Battlegroup Headquarters to be deployed They are even more versatile than riflemen for the same cost once you upgrade them. Point is their raw stats are weaker than volks but they have the pfaust and once you can upgrade them they simply and naturally become better than volks. The problem with making them better early game is the same as always. What to do with volks and SP? And if you make them stronger early game then they´ll reach they pike sooner thus probably needing to nerf their top stats in order to maintain them balanced which lead to the same issue with volks atm, they fall down mid-game because Obers are here too. The infantry problem with OKW rely within the sole existence of SP and Obers at the same time. Volks and PF are conditioned by those 2 units that force them to not be so good early game and not so good late game. People always compare them to riflemen or even penals but USF and Soviet don´t have stock equivalent to SturmPioneer or Obers to complement them and that make a huge difference. In: COH2 Balance
