Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback28 Apr 2021, 00:40 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2021, 20:05 PMIntoTheRain First, thank you for making some real changes to the docs and adding some much needed indirect to the Brits. This is the first patch where I've really liked what I'm seeing for them, and gives me a reason to be excited to play them. Immediate thoughts: 1) I'm not sure Mobile Assault needs the Land Mattress and the Mortar. Why not take advantage of this slot to use a unit that is only available in a single other doc, like the Valentine or Tank Hunter Sections? Or an ability like Smoke Raid Operation? 2) I'd really like to see more access to the Vickers outside of just Tactical Support. 3) Reworking Raid Sections as an alternate mainline is probably a good idea. Surprised there is no mortar support here even with the Smoke Grenades. 4) Moar indirect! Extra mortars are good, but it would be nice to see the Land Mattress and Sexton available in other docs to open up more team game diversity. The Land Mattress is really bad in it's current state. Both it and the Sexton need buffs so I'd rather not see them anywhere else until they are improved. In: COH2 Balance

Flares are uncounterable and need to be removed from all factions. Flares tied to units are generally short ranged and tactical. They don't really cause an issue. The flare from Spec Ops was a problem because it was an infinite range one that lasted too long. The Royal Arty flares should probably go also. Also, lots of things in this game are uncounterable. That's not a good measure for whether or not something needs to be removed. In: COH2 Balance

Ukf, soviets and usf are all cheaper Su76 in Tier 3, or T70 So you are confirming that OKW is as dead as UKF Bullshit, volks are just trash compared to everything mainline Rich coming from a Soviet fanboy that doesn't even play the game T70 as AT vehicle AND OKW as dead as UKF? You went BIG. In: COH2 Gameplay

Given the 120mm mortar range, they can bomb the hell out of the trucks even in base sectors. ...only if you've been base-pinned, which probably wasn't because of a 120. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Petition to Nerf/Remove Soviet Mortar Flare27 Apr 2021, 05:18 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2021, 01:15 AMKurobane People like to cry and complain about everything when most of the problems are on a personal level. Mortar Flare is fine in my opinion. First if the Soviet player has Mortars then they went with a T-2 opening and against OKW....definitely a L2P issue here. You can do the same thing with IR Halftrack or JLI cloaked to give you sight which btw does not cost ammunition or require a mortar which will not last to end game once Stuka or Panzerwerfer hits the field. Either way this is a non issue compared to Spec OPs global flare. It requires a Support Unit which...does supporting abilities or do we want to go back to Precision Strike? Petition to bring back Precision Strike incoming.....Guaranteed decrew a MG42 for the mere price of 30 munitions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Petition to Nerf/Remove Soviet Mortar Flare27 Apr 2021, 04:17 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2021, 17:40 PMMr Carmine The flare costs muni and manual input, its in the air a few seconds, the soviet mortar that shot the flare doesnt have enough time to win vs ost mortar. It gets about 2 rounds off in auto fire i believe before the flare goes out. I for one havent seen it winning a dual with the ost mortar. It sometimes does if your first shot is the flare and you attack the Ost mortar. Even then, you need RNG to be equal because you get the first shot but the Ost fires faster. If the flare was removed from Vet 0, the Soviet mortar would never win, despite ludicrous claims about its barrage being superior. The Ost isn't the old turbo mortar (I got 59 kills once against double soviet before the ROF nerf) but it's still a little better than the other mortars. I don't think mortars need to be rebalanced. The delayed fuse change seems okay and is more of a change than a direct nerf. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The game slowly moves away from an historical WW2 game27 Apr 2021, 00:18 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 08:13 AMPanzerKampf And slowly becomes just a "flavoured" WW2 RTS game. .... I wonder if the magnificent balance team members have any clue or idea of the history of WW2 and the actual weapons, artilery and warfare being used. It is interesting that people get so selective in what they want to be historically accurate. Here is a portion of what I've been thinking about putting in a rant on arty: AoE Damage Crewed Base Damage Range Rng(IRL) Shell Wgt ROF (IRL) Near Mid Far ML-20 152mm Howitzer 200 250 17230 51.5 3 200 30 10 B-4 203mm Howitzer 640 250 25400 110 yes 640 96 32 leFH 18 Field Howi (Ost 160 250 10675 14.8 6 160 56 8 leFH 18 Field Howi(OKW) 160 250 10675 14.8 6 160 56 8 M7B1 Priest 200 180 11270 14.8? 6? 200 56 10 Sexton Self-Propelled 160 135 12253 11.5 6 160 80 32 The Sexton and Priest should barely outrange the LEFH. Instead, the LEFH greatly outranges them. The ML20 should do massively more damage than the LEFH. Instead, the LEFH does more than the ML20. The B4 does do more damage than the LEFH, but nothing on the order of what it should. Disclaimers: COH2 numbers taken from Stein's sheet, I have not verified that they are correct. Ranges for the Priest and Sexton taken from the towed version of the gun, I could not find if the self-propelled version had a shorter barrel which would have decreased the range. In: COH2 Gameplay
