Thread: Why is the OST mortar's ROF so high?27 May 2017, 15:23 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2017, 09:32 AMle_saucisson_masque fix to all mortar in COH2 : REMOVE AUTOFIRE. artillery is pure cancer in game, like in war, but at least during the war it didn't shoot automatically at nearest ennemies. if you force people to micro their mortar, and only allow them to attack a position and not a mooving squad, then every problem related to artillery would be fixed. Maybe a little extreme but probably a good idea. Would be interesting to see what percentage of the players don't notice that their mortar pits don't autofire. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 27 May 2017, 14:11 PM Instead of building a cache, could those be replaced with a resource truck? Have the truck cost 200mp but make the resource gained equal to 5 munitions/number_of_players or 3 fuel/number_of_players? In a 4v4, being the lone Ost and having to build 2000mp of caches will be less fun than playing Sim City. In addition, possibly consider letting OKW make resource trucks also. If allied players think that is unfair, then give USF RE's a non-doctrinal 30mp mine and maybe (just maybe) adjust OKW costs. In: COH2 Gameplay

I understand the notion of adjusting conscripts mosins to be more reliably consistent. I don't understand the notion of changing conscripts entire profile of effectiveness. Cons were bad at long range, bad at short range, sometimes okay at mid range. In: COH2 Gameplay

So, in summary, you admit that emplacement spam is a losing strategy but you want it nerfed anyway so that you can noob stomp quicker? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is the OST mortar's ROF so high?25 May 2017, 19:30 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2017, 15:39 PMAustralian Magic IMO double GrWs (in 2v2) are way more annoying than Mortar Pit. Personally I would make every mortar truly shit during autofire while barrage should be superior in every single way. I made a thread before the WBP went live where I said the Ost mortar was going to be a problem. Everyone agreed I was just stupid. Maybe I am but I wasn't wrong about the mortar. Now we have this patch and I doubt that anything will change soon. The balance team seems to listen to only a few people and ignores the rest. They should have nerfed the autofire range for all mortars and the leig. In: COH2 Balance

And if you read the patch notes they have nerfed the elefant Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla Hey everyone! Elefant The changes to the Elefant will make it somewhat less efficient at countering medium armour (i.e., the Elefant’s intended counter). To compensate, and also give the Elefant (and its doctrines) more luster for 1v1 use we are increasing the AI and AT utility of the Elefant in other means. -Damage from 320 to 280 -Now gains access to an HE barrage. The barrage can penetrate all world objects and fires with a small 20-degree arc -Popcap increased from 20 to 23 -New Vet1 ability: Armour detection (works like Stormtrooper Vehicle Detection); TWP removed. Okay, then. It should be very easy for you show me any replay where you killed an Elefant with mediums. Same conditions apply. The marginal nerf to damage will be more than offset by the improved AI.

Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 25 May 2017, 13:47 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2017, 12:21 PMDangerous-Cloth I like how you perform the very thing you judge others on. At some level, Tatatala probably isn't wrong about this being bad for larger team games. He's completely correct about not being able to swarm JT's or Elephants in larger games. Giving the Elephant a 70 range AI capability is bad because the only way to push it off a point in larger games is to strip away the surrounding AI units and push it back with AT guns and infantry. Also, the pop cap nerf wasn't enough. If you think it was, show me a replay where you managed to kill an Elefant with two SU85'S. Replays where you killed one because someone overexposed it with no support and got it killed with a medium don't count. The Elefant should have received a straight nerf, just like the Stuart, AEC, rifles, etc, etc. That said, this does look like a better patch for 1v1's. Realistically, Relic won't put any more money into patches for this game. Even when they did, they often screwed up balance and the quality (in terms of bugs) was worse. The only drawback is that most of the members favor playing as Axis and certainly the most vocal ones favor that faction. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: jagdtiger APCBDC ACDC HIGHWAY TO HELL SHELLS24 May 2017, 13:25 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2017, 12:29 PMImagelessbean Indeed the JT double tap is annoying, and unfair, but to say the Pershing shoot through walls doesn't cause massive headaches is also unfair. Pershings shoot very quickly and can curb stomp T3 Wehr units, assuming it doesn't sit in front of a vet 2 Stug. They also don't have to worry about reloads so a double tap is not possible but a rapid double shot is, both are gimmicky. This is part of the USF's problem in team games. Its equivalent of T4 is normally compared to Ost T3. In: COH2 Balance
