Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback9 Dec 2020, 20:14 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Dec 2020, 16:00 PMSander93 I didn't say stock roster. They have too much indirect fire overlap in their entire roster. It's the same with all the Sherman variants. Relic should've come up with more diverse units (like the Jumbo). Swapping all kinds of things now isn't going to fix that. They overlap because at some moments the various balance teams make them overlap. Pakhowi was at the beginning an almost only barrage unit and Scott an almost only auto-fire unit. Then the various balance teams decided to made them more similar. Buff the pakhowi barrage and remove its auto-fire, do the opposite for the Scott and you have two different units. You have the pakhowi be like a mix between rocket arty and field Arty in its purpose and scott a lighter brumbar. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback5 Dec 2020, 10:23 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 17:54 PMSaintPauli The reason that Osttroopen/Assgrens are meta is because Grens are the only mainline infantry that cannot be build from the headquarter. On multiple maps this allows the allies to cap vital points/buildings. This forces you to attack with the defencive oriented grens. Instead of buffing the grens you should consider making them buildable from the HQ again (and the MG back to T1). Also, the 5 man Grens are crutch that needs to go. It overshadows the other commanders (on maps where you don’t need to rush buildings) This is going to be a huge nerf for Ostheer. -- Isn't possible to tied the Pioneer increased vision to T1? So it gives more insensitive to build T1 early game and if you decide to go ostruppen to support your HMG42 then you don't have this advantage until T1 is built. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 18:17 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 17:34 PMSander93 The Jackson and SU-85 have barely been touched in years. None of the stats changes that did happen would suggest a goal to make them less all rounders. Their maximum penetration has been decreased by a little bit to make them a bit worse against heavy vehicles. They are still as effective against mediums and lights as they have been for years now. The Firefly got a buff that will help it against more mobile threats (i.e. mediums) so its all round performance will actually increase. Jackson and SU-85 have been constantly nerfed (directly or indirectly) on the last patches so mediums can dive and kill them with more ease. And I'm not against those changes. Now we have an other TD that no medium can match that being buffed because? Panther already win vs any medium, any medium+ any heavy and any super heavy allied factions can field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 15:44 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 13:37 PMSander93 I can't speak for the others, but I think the choice between the Panther and the Jagdpanzer IV / StuG is mostly a player preference and/or map/situation dependant. One isn't necessarily better/worse than the other against similar targets. I'd say all of them perform roughly similar against most targets at the moment. The JP4 has the range and DPM advantage, the StuG has the cost effectiveness advantage (get two for 1 Panther) and the Panther has the generalist/brawler advantage. The Panther however, is a mix of mostly mediocre characteristics. It has mediocre DPM, mediocre accuracy, kinda mediocre pen (for an AT vehicle), good but not fantastic mobility, held together with high durability. The complete package is good, but any one of those aspects on its own isn't anything to write home about. It is supposed to expose itself though, mostly by diving, where the current accuracy is often not adequate and it makes dives/attacks more risky than they should be. That is why it is being buffed slightly. That being said, the accuracy buff is being toned down in V2. And if it turns out that the Panther with increased accuracy becomes too good, then we can nerf something else about it later. I feel a lack of balance in your opinion, you've constently reduced SU-85 and Jackson stats so they don't become all-around TD counters even if their respective factions have no other stock units able to fill the gap but when it comes to the panther suddenly it has to become an all-around counter to medium, heavy and super heavy even if stug and jpz4 exists. I really wonder why you don't apply the exact same logic for the panther: make it a heavy counter and Stug/jpz4 answers to mediums. Buff it ok, but to only be really effective vs Comets and above, and make sure it's not anymore the correct answer to T34,crom and shermans. We're again all over circling back with this panther buff to the state where mediums have no place in game for the sake of one side having their iconic toy able to run over anything else.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 13:22 PM Can the mod team answer Katikof question? I think it is a good one. Was the panther really inacurrate vs heavies and super heavies? Aren´t you again creating an -one unit to answer all problems? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback2 Dec 2020, 07:56 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 06:07 AMSully This is objectively false, the generalist nature of the ISU means it can engage any target. Meanwhile the ele/jt jave to back off when being pushed by anything other than armor. Not to mention allied TDs can reliably pen both frontally, I challenge you to do the same to the ISU with a JP4 or stug. Lol you don't back off your ISU when rushed by a/various Panther? Sure you ever played soviet? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion1 Dec 2020, 08:03 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2020, 03:19 AMGrumpy Lastly, it seems really odd that the ISU is getting nerfed on a patch that is intended for core or META issues. It's not a core unit, and not particularly META given the large number of maps where it's a bad idea. If it's going to be nerfed, it should be done in a patch that focuses on heavies (other than the rear armor nerf which is fine). You're not the only one wondering about it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion30 Nov 2020, 09:57 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2020, 09:16 AMSander93 The Brummbar already got its range nerfed a few patches ago for exactly the same reason. The Brumbar does not face elefant or JT, the only relevant equivalence here could be the UKF 17 pounder. Anything else that can shoot a the brumbar can be targeted back from safe range by those aberrations. Nobody would mind reducing the ISU152 to normal range if there weren't the Elefant or Jagtiger to say hello in every teamgame. You can't simply tackle one issue (because we all agree this is effectively an issue) and leave the others untouched and create a huge unbalanced situation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion30 Nov 2020, 08:26 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2020, 21:20 PMmiragefla ISU-152's ability to snipe infantry from behind a wall of AT I would say is more impactful as you stop all ability to capture territory and also can deny VPs for infantry daring to step on that. The JT and Elefant are more devastating to vehicles, but they can't lock out a VP or territory from infantry on their own and bleed the opponent of infantry. And while I'm not responding too much, be assured we're keeping an eye on the posts passing through the threads. That logic applies for Brumbar and Sitting next to an elefant. Try to cap or decap vs it. I'm not necesarily against nerfing late game units but I really wonder how Soviet are going maintain sustain fire on late game if only Axis faction have access to all the good stuff. If nerf has to be done to super heavies then it should be for all the units accross the board at the same time, as it has been done for heavy generalists. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch25 Nov 2020, 11:35 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2020, 10:16 AMHannibal Never say never, but I think this is just very unlikely. Getting the 'CoH3' experience would require a seriius development team, but everyone has been pulled from the CoH franchise. We can see similar things with the AoE series: these have mostly been remasters without too much reworks of the engine, yet a complete dev team was needed. CoH2 already had its free give aways, many people that wNted to play it already got their chance and either stuck with it or did not. Unless the game pass can do a small miracle, there will not be that huge new player spike and thus no revenue spike for Relic/MS. That's at least my theory, but let's just see what the future will bring. Probably something in-between our visions. For the best I hope. In: COH2 Balance
