Feel free to come up with different name for those types of units. Leig becoming a mortar type is maybe true but that doesn't make a reason for your claim about the pakhowi. Their stats are significantly different to think the contrary. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback5 Jan 2021, 14:41 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2021, 13:43 PMVipper Having unit that is very difficult to counter does not mean if fine even if it can not wipe with a single salvo... True enough we should cut Elefant and Jagtiger range to ATG one. Same for any rocket arty unit and cut arty units range to pakhowi range at most. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback5 Jan 2021, 08:08 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2021, 23:21 PMSkysTheLimit I don't think the new Scott is useless but it really should get at least a small cost decrease. Nerfing it's range by 10 makes getting more than 1 pretty risky and micro intensive, so I don't think there's any reason it should still have it's old price It is because it fails to achieve anything useful on a game. People have to stop thinking balance in a vacuum and spreadsheet stats and start asking themselves where do you put the scott on your roaster on 1vs1 or teamgame? Does the balance change make the unit more useful on 1vs1? no - result no one will ever use it anymore here. Does the balance change keep the usefulness of the unit on teamgame? no because Priest or Calliope are 10 times better for their effectiveness/price and those are on par with other factions counterparts. At the moment with this patch the scott doesn't achieve anything relevant, it was suppose to be oppressive because that was its main function. Now that it's gone, what do you build the scott for? That's a real question because in my opinion there is not a single situation where I would think "I need a scott". The balance team is just killing USF late game vs heavy support unit strategy, as per this patch USF will be 100% dependent on doctrine to counter it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback4 Jan 2021, 22:41 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2021, 20:04 PMSander93 V5 USF changes Scott still useless. I mean for around the same price and around same time other factions get rocket arty that can wipe 1 or multiple squads on a single barrage and you still believe anyone will pay to use a unit that can at most kill 2 models on a barrage or if lucky force a repositioning? You made sure that auto-fire will be bad enough to not invest on the unit for it alone but at the same time you make sure the barrage can't deal impactful damage to its target. Then on a bigger scale pakhowi and scott were completely redundant only that they were useful and redundant to now be useless and redundant. The balance team really can't find another solution to make their role more unique and keep their usefulness? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The time factor29 Dec 2020, 09:46 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Dec 2020, 22:58 PMKatitof CoH1 had heavies for ZERO fuel as well as dual panthers for ZERO fuel. Sherman has a cost of 90 fuel. CoH1 had less fuel, because vehicles had no fuel cost at all or much lower fuel cost then CoH2. Less tanks were used? Are you even aware of roo spam, tetrarch lil john spam or hotchkiss spam? You could easily get roo after roo without end and get 6-8 of the latter two and it wasn't infrequent sight. Too bad, shouldn't have complained about all the units before late game for ability to end the game. Without being able to end the game with early game units, there is no reason to stay in early game longer. There is no decision, because players hated that and asked for removal of it, the trend continues right now with further T-70 nerfs for example. There was a time when it was a viable choice, then the unit got nerfed into irrelevance. It happened for every single light or early unit of every single of the 5 factions, removing any choice other then "go for meds asap and get only what's absolutely needed to survive until that". Why are you completely ignorant to that little fact? Sorry, but you can't have any decision making between staying low or teching when you kill potential of early game units to seal the game and nothing will change that unless you're willing to get these units back to the "op" times. Ah the good old time when you could seal the game with a single stuart. Funny enough OP had a different vision on this matter at that time. In: Lobby
Thread: Tech cost28 Dec 2020, 11:28 AM Grens are the cheapest stock infantry in-game, they cost 240 and get their upgrade for free along teching. In: Lobby
Thread: The time factor27 Dec 2020, 17:19 PM A slower pace requires deeper options on each tier or global upgrades costing fuel but acting as side tiering option. But the idea of slowing the game pace for the sake of it doesn't make sense. If we take Coh1 as example of slow pace early game, that's essentially because USF had BARs upgrade as a kind of side tier option upgrade or the player could tech to rush the M8. Both option were viable but one give the illusion of slower game pace since it delays the tech. The wehrm had a similar idea with or spending fuel early on tech to rush the PUMA or spending some on veterancy for your grens. I think the illusion of coh1 being a slow pacing game also come from the fact that generalist tanks are really hard to get working properly - you always better invest on tank destroyer for the armour fighting and mostly focus on infantry play all the game length. Coh2 is different, a single Pz4/sherman/t34/cromw can turn the tide of the game in a matter of seconds so you need to have yours asap. In: Lobby
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback18 Dec 2020, 07:16 AM The mobilize reserve in T3 requires Molotov and Atnade upgrade to be unlocked but if you play Penals you don't get anything from those so why would it be a requirement to get bonuses on Penals. There something I probably miss here. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry, mortars and MGs: relationship and scaling. 11 Dec 2020, 14:16 PM Mortars could use a debuff on their barrage, like applying malus on accuracy for the squads under fire. They would become then a real counter to trenches and covers allowing your own troops to rush them with less casualties. With that no need to increase too much their accuracy or damage output. I think the same debuff could apply a suppression malus on HMGs so they lose some of their suppression under mortar barrage. This would allow to make some changes to HMGs, maybe decreasing their setup times to make them more responsive. In: COH2 Balance
