Thread: Is the T70 OP?4 Mar 2020, 19:42 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2020, 19:20 PMelchino7 Before removing myself from this thread i would try one more time? Does this sound too bad? If we go that way for the 221/222 which I find excellent, there is no need to nerf T70 armor. Not sure if the OKW AATH should get that bonus, it is already shredding infantry and have smoke.

Thread: Short video about the biggest tank collection in Europe4 Mar 2020, 12:59 PM The owner have 10 US tanks and several vehicles from WWII, all of them are running and been used in many movies. Video is in French (as the owner) They're running an Ez8 in the video, we can see a Priest, a 105mm (i guess), some HT, an M20 etc... Thought it could interest you guys. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: What is the REAL problem with Ost T4?4 Mar 2020, 08:25 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 02:51 AMelchino7 Weird brainstorming after couple of beers idea. Not necessarily all to be implemented. After T4 is been built. -Pios to 5 man. Reduce squad popcap by 1 to 0 to remain the same as now (it's 5 popcap, 1 per model + 1 on squad). Non doctrinaly late game they would have a unit which can cap/scout without getting obliterated as well as more easily recrewing support weapons and repair vehicles. -Reduce popcap on support units/Pio. Same as before, but in this case Pios goes from 5 to 4 as they remain a 4 model. MG42/Mortar goes from 6 to 5 Pak40 goes from 7 to 6 Sniper from 9 to 7 Unrelated to the late game on OH. Bunkers Cost of construction goes from 150 to 50mp. MG/Medic upgrade now cost 100mp on top of their munition cost Now we can MAYBE see people build bunkers as cover AND maybe we can adjust the cost of command post separately. You should stop drinking for sure. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 16:21 PM What's completely disconnected from reality is the actual state of Tiger, specially OKW version. Before nerfing ram+strafe it would be good to see the definitive version of the patch. Nobody is going to spend so much resource on Ram+Stafe vs it if it lose its OPness first hand. In: Lobby
Thread: How to reducing USF's reliance on Jackson28 Feb 2020, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2020, 12:14 PMVipper Tell you what. Lets stop here so you can take some time and think what exactly you want propose and pls come back with a clear proposal with some rough estimation of number if possible. I'll just ignore like I usually do. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to reducing USF's reliance on Jackson28 Feb 2020, 11:43 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2020, 11:02 AMVipper In other words a M4A3 Sherman should obliterate infatry and when the enemy builds a 380/140 Panzer J the 340/110 M4A3 Sherman should be able to spend some munition and "deal reliably" with that more expansive PzIV. And since this road with make other version of Sherman redundant we should then buff them even more... Nope that does not sound as a good idea... Well you know Pz4s are already obliterating infantry AND dealing USF sherman at the same time. What I propose is one OR the other with an upgrade. Now if it requires a fuel price increase or the upgrade being a spit fuel/munition, so be it. I haven't even say the sherman should be better than the Pz4, just at the same level when it get skirts so it can fight the OKW version reliably. I don't see the Ez8 proposal being a straight buff, you get a one unit limited that can't be mixed with other pershing or Calliope and it would have similar characteristic with the panther. Then in exchange, the M36 is nerfed so it is only relevant vs panthers and heaviest units. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to reducing USF's reliance on Jackson28 Feb 2020, 09:55 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2020, 08:41 AMSneakEye A member of the patchteam stated that they avoid complex changes and want minimal risk. This amount of changes is complex and introduces quite a bit of risk. I'd recommend to propose much simpler/smaller changes if you want the patchteam to consider your idea. The simple change I have in mind: Sherman M4A3 with a new upgrade for a certain amount of munition. Locks out AI mode and increase the penetration of AT mode so it can deal reliably with Pz4s (with skirts). Obviously this would make Sherman 76 and Ez8 redundant in their current version but with the appropriate nerf to Jackson so it can't trade off anymore with mediums so easily there is maybe some other space for them to fulfill. Edit: Ez8 could become a Pershing alike but dedicated to AT or a panther version for USF, limited to one at time Sherman 76, no idea yet. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A redesign of Sherman27 Feb 2020, 10:38 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2020, 09:45 AMVipper As some people say TDs (and actually very expensive TDs) doing their Job now how is that a problem? Where did I say it is a problem? You've the option between 2 tanks, one is AI the other is AT and both are going to be countered by the same opposing tank. Which one do you build? This question is not a trap and you can answer the Ez8 if you want but that's on you, people who play USF more frequently see a better ROI building the AI one, you can't simply deny it. In: Lobby
Thread: A redesign of Sherman27 Feb 2020, 09:25 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2020, 09:02 AMVipper All the Sherman variant are great, yet many of them see little action simply because ~~the M4A3/M36 combo is too cost efficient.~~ Because they are great on paper only. Ez8 is a great tank on paper but completely shut down by Panther and Jpz4 for OKW and panther for Ostheer. If you buy a tank with better AT than AI and a bit more health but that is countered by better tanks few minutes later then you stop building it and prefer a version with better AI than AT because at then end the result will be the same except you'll deal more damage to infantry on the mean time. This situation has nothing to do with Jackson. Even if you remove the M4A3 people will switch to scott with Jackson. Saying that, I agree that increasing stock sherman AT and reducing Jackson strength vs mediums is the best move possible but it should be made uppon OKW's Pz4 and not Ostheer's one. In: Lobby
