Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion27 Dec 2020, 18:19 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2020, 12:50 PMSgtJonson Is there anything that could be done about grenade warnings? Because i feel like its still happening a lot of times that my squad gives the warning way too late or not at all. Not at all might be an exagregation, not sure anymore about my last matches. It happens to me at times also. My guess is that it has more to do with the lag in the online game. Any patch that they make for it would likely make the game buggier. It doesn't happen to me in comp stomps so I don't think it is the game itself. In: COH2 Balance

Has anyone tried changing the pack howie to attack ground and barrage only? With this, give it the same attack ground range as barrage, but maybe increase it to 100 like the 120mm (ISG also?). It would make it a lot better against things like bunker spam and there would be no more micro-less damage from it. In: COH2 Balance

The argument that keeps being used is that the molotov starts damaging when it hits, instead of having the timer. The problem with that argument is that the DPS from the molotov starts low so you would have to sit in the flames awhile to do much of anything. It ends up making molotov's nearly worthless until cons have vet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback24 Dec 2020, 19:13 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 20:43 PMMr Carmine Ime soviets struggle harder in 4s then in 1s.... I agree, with the addition that the AA nerf to the Quad probably should be accompanied by a price decrease. I have occasionally seen where it shoots down a plane immediately. However, in the previous version it took forever, especially for a unit that you only buy for the AA ability. The 2 to 3 revert probably should be have went to 4 or 5. Also, the SU76's vet 3 bonuses should be more like the Puma's - take out the barrage improvement and give it mobility and damage. That would make it more of a choice, as it would be decent at vet 3, assuming that you could get it to vet 3. It also seems strange that the ISU is considered a balance problem but the Brummbar isn't. They both wipe squads in the same number of shots, but the Brummbar arrives much earlier and is non-doctrinal. It forces a retreat on almost every shot as the combination of one medium AOE and one long is enough to kill any model, so the chances of not getting wiped in two shots are small. I use both - the ISU doesn't seem that great until it gets vet, while the Brummbar is good at vet0. Also, with 800HP and over 200 armor, the Brummbar makes a good damage sponge. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback24 Dec 2020, 18:24 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2020, 08:23 AMAerohank Having withdraw orders in the ui of a unit itself is a bad idea as it is a suicide button that you can accidently click. If it would be implemented it should be a 6th commander slot like the KT so it requires 2 clicks to activate. It's in the base UI, so shouldn't be that big of a deal. It seems like you should get a nominal refund, even if only 50 manpower. Other than that, I'll just use it as a scout because the tiny bit of vet that they get probably isn't worth as much to me as knowing more about their positions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion24 Dec 2020, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 22:03 PMSander93 As a QoL improvement, would people like ATGs and TDs to have Vehicle Priority on by default? This would mean newly built ATGs and AT vehicles, recrewed ATGs and recrewed Jacksons/M10s would all have Vehicle Priority by default so you wouldn't need to toggle it on all the time. The only real downside is that it's gonna take everyone some time to adjust to it. Yes please, this is a good idea. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RNG24 Dec 2020, 04:07 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 23:50 PMelchino7 No 2 games need to have the same mechanics. As far as "retreat" goes: SC2: Protoss have both recall in their HQ and their capital mothership. WC3: All races start with a "scroll" which makes the hero invulnerable and retreats all surrounding units back to a base. They can buy this at their own buildable shop or the ones spread around the map. From which they can also buy a rod of teleportation for their heroes only. 2 races has unique rod which let's them "retreat" units back to their bases as well. One simple retreats them back and the other puts the unit on a "stasis" and regens health. It would be nice to start with a 350mp "scroll" like in WC3. You could just teleport out when you pick a bad engagement. But this is COH, so they would probably implement a teleport crit where there is a 10% chance that your units go on vacation after teleporting home. IIRC, WC3 has RNG for damage. The biggest difference is that COH does it on the hit, so it's all or nothing which people notice a lot more than a small variation in damage. I had some great RNG today, so today would vote against any change. I had somebody dive on my wounded Panther with two full health Comets. I don't think my Panther or pak40 bounced anything, but he had at least 2 bounces when the Panther had just a sliver of health. Then one of the Comets abandoned and the other had to retreat......No dead Panther and a free Comet....... Map chat got really salty after that. In: Lobby
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion24 Dec 2020, 03:47 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2020, 02:13 AMmrgame2 Does arty account for RA? I'm not sure zis take a bigger hit. it is 6 man remember. Ost hit is definitely highest because of reasons I stated, and I forget to mention allies have better LV too! Now even ukf has early RE, and aec. Yeah this is simply bad for ost as Pak is their only 60 range mobile tank counter Arty doesn't take RA into account, it will not affect the damage. I'm pretty sure the damage is determined by the distance from the shell impact to each model. It's divided into 3 ranges with different multipliers at each range. I think all models start with 80 hit points. The six men are an advantage only because they normally spread out a bit, so a couple models will be further away when a shell hits. That said, walking stukas still routinely wipe all six in one shot. I think Pwerfers will also, but have to be dangerously close. If you main Ost, it will force you to be a little more careful with it, but you've got the best MG in the game to suppress infantry that go after your AT gun. If I had any worries about this change, it would be about how effective pintle mg's on tanks are at decrewing AT guns after this. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion23 Dec 2020, 19:28 PM In general, v4 looks much better. I like the global smoke improvements. Soviets are still going to have a hard time in the late game in 4v4. The ISU should have been nerfed in the same patch as the JT and Ele. Soviets don't have the freedomblob/Jackson/Calliope combo or 5-man sections/Firefly that other factions use. The new T70 feels really non-lethal. It's okay in a comp stop but feels like it won't be good against humans. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion23 Dec 2020, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 15:18 PMmrgame2 i agree. this change sounds worth a try, but in reality it is disastrous for ost. pak is their only 60 range mobile AT. allies have larger squad size, higher dps, sprint. katsuya will make easier mince meat of pak. no good, simply no good. This is a change to RA, not damage so it won't affect how much damage the pak takes from Katy's. It's a larger nerf to Soviets, as they generally have worse RA to start. OKW takes a hit because the raketen has lower range and more likely to be hit with small arms. In: COH2 Balance
