Thread: Add visual indicator to flare like abilities1 May 2021, 14:09 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2021, 13:04 PMKatitof Kubel, 251, IR HT and 222 have indirect detection too you know. At last i truly see. Yo are right, those abilities are the same as the flares. The next logical step is to remove graphical and audio indications for enemy players, after all being flared is no different than being detected by kubel. Thank you for enlightening me.

Thread: Add visual indicator to flare like abilities1 May 2021, 13:01 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2021, 12:22 PMKatitof Most opponents also don't know they are in sight of spotting scopes 222 or detection of 251, or kubel or invisible luchs. What kind of visual indicators would you suggest for these? Very cool straw man you are building out there. Direct sight recon units are nothing like flares and you know it. In: COH2 Gameplay

Compared to roaring vehicle flying right up to your screen? Jump back to quoted post1 May 2021, 08:39 AMKatitof And its not MOBA, every singular ability will not have "red circle" on the ground for opponent to see. Its not hard to get enough personal experience to know these ranges. It's a quality of life feature that would help average and new players. By the logic of your argument we could remove units descriptions, after all "Its not hard to get enough personal experience to know these". Also can you really tell what area of space is revealed by soviet flare when you notice it 5 seconds after it has floated in random direction? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Add visual indicator to flare like abilities1 May 2021, 08:34 AM We already have one such thing in the game, green pulsing circle shows up whenever scout plane loiter is activated. I wish the same circle would appear every time someone uses one of flares abilities. It would help with counter play, allowing players to react better, knowing exactly where to reposition if they choose to. flares right know are annoying, they are hard to spot, give little audio cue and after being fired are uncounterable compared to planes.

Thread: Aircraft spawn distance normalization.24 Dec 2020, 12:08 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2020, 19:33 PMMr. Someguy My suggestion would be to have planes spawn in the sky a set distance, dive at the target, do their attack, and fly off. Spawning them above the camera hides their spawn point, and the set distance means they'll be consistent wherever they're called in. It would be really cool but also take a lot of work to code and test. As mod team is quite limited with resources i think a simple change of spawn location works best. As far as I know all planes in the game fly at the same height and speed. We can hope for such a system in CoH3 Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 18:09 PMelchino7 Any kind of spawn change would require a complete rework on AA mechanics. As we are not talking about loiters, only single strike aircraft passes i don't see how AA would need any kind of change. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Aircraft spawn distance normalization.22 Dec 2020, 10:19 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2020, 09:11 AMKatitof So what do you suggest? I suggest that the time delay between smoke and hit should be constant. I think it would be good from design point of view to make the time delay different for each ability which would give balanceteam another tool in their toolbox for the future. But if balance team cant be bothered to do that I would happily take the same delay on all airstrike abilities compared to live version for the sake of consistency. I am not 1v1 pro so someone should correct my numbers but going by my gut feeling: PTAB strike: 6 sec delay Ost cluster-bomb strike: 5 sec Soviet Airborne Rocket strike: 5 sec Soviet machine gun strafe: 2.5 sec USF machine gun strafe: 3 sec Ost smoke screen strike: 2.5 sec OKW smoke screen strike: 3 sec Tell me if I forgot anything If all strikes would share one delay I would make it 5 sec. As for how to as for how to achieve it, I would suggest to make it so aircraft spawn in accordance with targeted spawn point, not on the edge of the map. If that would make aircraft spawn in the middle of the map sometimes, so be it, its the price I would be willing to pay. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Aircraft spawn distance normalization.22 Dec 2020, 09:03 AM Player call-in plane airstrikes should all have the same time between red smoke and actual bombs/rockets hitting. Currently the timing depends on the location on the map, leading to the situations where players have very little time to respond if their units targeted happened to be on the edge of the map. It would also give more consistency to the ram+il2 combo so loathed in 1v1 where maps are small while being rather weak in 4v4. In: COH2 Gameplay
