Thread: Hull Down Panther new best TD?15 Apr 2021, 06:09 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 17:22 PMSander93 That's rather irrelevant. The point is that Hull Down makes your tanks immobile in a game that is dominated by manoeuvre warfare. You're going to lose the initiative and you're going to be dependant on your enemy if you dig in all your tanks. Which can work well often enough if your opponents charge headstrong into your lines, but if your opponents are good they'll just go elsewhere and overrun some other part of the map or wait until they have offmaps available. Because we all know you can only hulldown all your tanks together or none. Beside thta those comments remember me some other made long time ago to defend brit simcity. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback15 Apr 2021, 06:06 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 22:16 PMIntoTheRain I couldn't tell you. I'm just giving you my opinion. I think the live version is incredibly strong, and thought the first revision was a fair change. I'd completely disagree with their assessment that it is weak and that the revision wasn't user friendly. Its the same as a Grenadier Rifle grenade, and would most likely have paid for itself with 3 uses. It even had the upside of not knowing when the Grenade was going to be launched. I've been using the ability for some time and I consider it more like a long range with lower impact flamethrower vs unit in cover. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback14 Apr 2021, 20:56 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 17:03 PMIntoTheRain I'm certainly not on the balance team, but I have no problems with nerfing it and think they should have kept the first version. Auto attacking Grenades are incredibly powerful at that timing, and require far more input (and screen time) to counter than they do to use. Its a zero risk, high reward weapon. The original proposed version would have kept the Grenades free, but forced user input to use. I think that is a fair way to at least equalize out the amount of APM required to fight them. The original version kept the 60 munitions cost to upgrade it and nerfed their cooldown into oblivion. My point stand, if it was a good idea to make them requiring user input fair enough then why didn't the team just followed with the idea? Instead we've got a declaration that the ability is in fact weak but get nerfed anyway. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The game slowly moves away from an historical WW2 game14 Apr 2021, 14:45 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 13:03 PMPanzerKampf Sigh... please read my previous post: " All I'm saying is let's not try to lose as little authenticity as we have now. Let's not lose anymore of it just for the sake of changing the game." I want to preserve what little historical authenticity we currently have without losing more. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. Also read Kasarov's post explaining a change for the next patch that directly contradicts history. Like the Kubel wagon requiring two Jackson's shot to be taken down? It has been the case for years but you only see it problematic when it comes to the USF ambulance? What about the Openwagen truck requireing two shots as well? historically accurate?

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback14 Apr 2021, 14:28 PM The rifle grenade changes are being reverted due to the lack of user friendliness. While it is an annoying weapon to deal with, it is not particularly powerful on its own with a travel time and delayed detonation. We are restoring the Rifle Grenade Launcher to its original form with only a slight nerf to its reload time. Someone from the balance team can explain how: 1- something not particularly powerful can have been nerfed to the ground on the first patch iteration. 2- still get nerfed, I mean: it is not particularly powerful but slight nerf to its reload time. Shall we nerf all flamthrower because they are particularly more powerfull on their own vs cover. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hull Down Panther new best TD?14 Apr 2021, 14:23 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 14:19 PMVipper The best counter of hull done tank is "heat barrage" or timed fused barrage both available to Allies. You can also use ground attack atgs. Which says a lot of how the ability is only balanced by the fact no one use it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hull Down Panther new best TD?14 Apr 2021, 14:16 PM So we heard a lot during years about Brit's simcity and now the same people are promoting Ostheer simcity that outrange most of all of their respective counters. Bear with me, what's are the most appropriate counters to Brit simcity? Panther? Elefant? Atgun? Or Stuka, mortar, Brumbar, Pwerfer, Lieg. Good luck damaging panther on hulldown with the Scott, 80mm mortar or katyushas. Someone mentioned Atgun, lol? since the panther will be there already with better armor and range that's mean the only support you can provide to the atgun are infantry units and we all know how infantry without tank in support do well on the late game! The only thing that make the current hulldown balanced today is that its not used, once people start using it that's just going to ruin the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Encirclement doctrine10 Apr 2021, 09:43 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2021, 23:43 PMJibberJabberJobber Could require break supply line stuka to require line of sight. Then there's no decap abilities left that don't require a setup in this doc. The problem is not the way to do it but the result. To keep the commander balanced there is a necessity to make it works but the result is problematic. I don't think there is anymore a good reason for rewarding cutting off your opponent annihilation of everything catch on those territories. In fact cutting off your opponent is a classic mechanism in the game but it shouldn't be give such reward even for a heavy munition cost. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Encirclement doctrine9 Apr 2021, 21:46 PM Why this doctrine hasn't been proposed with modification? Is the balance team planning to do something with it in the next version of the patch? I know at high level the doctrine doesn't seem much but at low level on 4vs4 its just really problematic. The answer to it can't be just -don't play random, everyone plays how he want and deserve balance and fairness even more at low level when they're learning the game. The doctrine is killing the fun for a lot of people and I think it deserves to be modified into something less OP at low level. Not everyone knows every doctrine, not everyone knows how to counter it and not everyone is skilled enough to prevent it during all the game long, remember it requires hundreds of hours of play to assimilate all mechanisms. If you don't pay enough attention for a short while that's instant victory for the opposite team in most of the cases. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: MGs need to be looked at8 Apr 2021, 19:05 PM With the new formation they've been made more powerful on the early game, I think one of the side effect is an increase in their vision range because of it and that's one of the reason for nerfing scout unit vision range when they pick them. But still without scout units they certainly gain an big buff not only in their survivability. In: COH2 Balance
