Thread: Fallschirmjäger is very OP!17 Sep 2019, 17:27 PM It seemed like the old Falls were too expensive and too squishy at the start. Couldn't they just have had the price lowered and some of the RA bonus moved to Vet 0 or 1? Or now nerf some of the veterancy bonuses? In: COH2 Balance

Would be helpful if relic just release it to public. Reading through patch notes is hard to keep track. Any reasons for the secrecy? I don't think they're trying to keep anything secret as much as it just isn't worthwhile to them to compile all the data. The game is six years old and probably sells few new copies. I think we're fortunate that they're still working with the community and providing patches. Most other games this old are long dead. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bring B4 howi back to tank hunter tactics17 Sep 2019, 16:59 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 16:00 PMLago All the community balance teams have flip-flopped on Tank Hunter's howitzer. The B4 is more thematically appropriate. The ML-20 is actually good. Which wins out? Both the B4 and ML20 have life spans of a couple minutes in most games. The ML20 fires mores shells and is more likely to hit something but neither are what I would describe as good. On the rare game that Axis doesn't have howitzer counters, the ML20 is usually better. The scatter on the B4 seems to be much worse than the targeting circle indicates. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bring B4 howi back to tank hunter tactics17 Sep 2019, 16:53 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 15:56 PMKirrik Played this commander countless times, I know what I'm talking about. vehicle camo is stupid gimmick fitting mostly for stealth recon for T-70. It's useless for actual tank destroyers because it renders them stationary and reduces rotation to extreme degree. Useless against both panthers and superheavy TD's And PTRS conscripts being dedicated AT squad is sick joke, those PTRS are useless against tanks ever since their deflection damaged was nerfed several times over. This commander is partysan tier at best. This was my experience with it. Unless the Panther is moving in your firing arc you will lose getting the first shot in, and having to toggle the ability and then start firing makes you much more likely to lose the SU85. I do like the stealth for the AT guns and cons in the early to mid game. I was able to kill a few vehicles with stealth and AT grenades but the PTRS upgrade makes them trash as infantry. It can be fun to play this doctrine, but only against opponents that I could beat without using any commander. Its probably the worst of the 22 Soviet commanders. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bring B4 howi back to tank hunter tactics17 Sep 2019, 16:24 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 15:20 PMSkysTheLimit This is simply untrue. Go to the changelog and specifically find me the changes you're talking about The bombing runs damage is still good AND it stuns tanks. Find the patch notes yourself, since your insisting that it didn't change. Post your playercard while you're at it. I don't care about the ranking, but am pretty sure it will show axis-only. Anyone who ever used it knows that it used to wipe arty, team weapons, take most of the health of a truck, and would finish heavies if you could catch them repairing. Paying 250 munitions to do about 200-300 damage (AND A STUN OMG) to a tank IF they don't pay attention to it for 3 seconds or more isn't effective. The standard IL2 bombing run would be an improvement over it. In: COH2 Gameplay

The squad has camo too so you can easily ambush vehicles, especially since you keep hoorah as well What patch are you referring too? The bombing run is still really good, idk what nerf you're talking about. Don't think the cmdr got any nerfs in latest patch (unless you count howy cooldowns) To OPs point the b4 would be better than the ml20 as far as theme goes. Idk if the rest of the community is ready for another b4 cmdr though The bombing run was nerfed several patches ago. I just tried it in a game to see if I was remembering it correctly. I did. The bombing run now takes out about 1/4 of the health of a Panther on a direct hit. It sometimes decrews weapon teams but not reliably, nor does it kill the weapon. It's easily the worst bombing run of any in the game. The ML20 is terrible compared to the LEFH. It's so inaccurate that its almost as worthless as the B4. The anti-tank mine needs mine traps added to the ability. With no way to funnel tanks, it's really random trying to get close enough to use the anti-tank grenades. Also, the tank hunters still need their molos and snares. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bring B4 howi back to tank hunter tactics17 Sep 2019, 00:36 AM The B4 would fit in perfectly, as the rest of the doctrine doesn't do much either. The PTRS's were gimped. The bombing run which used to be useful won't kill tanks now, as that was deemed unfair. The bombing run won't kill howitzers or much of anything else. The AT grenades are okay if you can snare a LV or maybe a P4. The doctrine went from OP to terrible in one patch. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mobile Defense Doctrine16 Sep 2019, 21:50 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2019, 17:49 PMaerafield Wouldnt it be quite useful at 3cp if the chance for lmg42 was 100% on both squads? Right now it's only 25%. And I dont think we need a third 0cp osttruppen commander Getting both of them with LMG42's would make it worthwhile. I wouldn't replace the Puma in this doctrine like some people are suggesting. The Puma is in a league of its own with vision, speed, good AT, and decent survivability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mobile Defense Doctrine16 Sep 2019, 17:42 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2019, 16:01 PMTobis The puma was never the issue, it was the call in CP4. Being able to skip all teching and get both a good AT vehicle and a fantastic AI vehicle was what put this doctrine over the line. With the CP4 tied into teching the puma is balanced with forcing you to get locked into this doctrine for a good AT answer to allied light vehicles. Remove the battlephase requirement from puma, it just comes too late. Leave it in T2 so it has to go through a build time and can't be shat out as a panic call-in, but give it a 5CP requirement like it used to have so it doesn't come too early. It doesn't need to be sidetech, the "cost" is locking into a doctrine. I haven't played a lot of 1v1's, but what used to be nice was that I could just build T1 + T2 and use call-ins. It was like playing Soviets back then. Since you have to get BP2 anyway, the Puma doesn't arrive much earlier than a Stug, and the newly improved Ostwind isn't too bad compared to the CP4. Now it seems like you're not only NOT getting a panic Puma, you're losing access to Tigers/MHT's/etc. It is strange that it builds from the Light Mechanized building but requires Battlephase 2. Dropping the BP2 requirement and setting the build time probably equalizes the timing with the OKW puma. The Osttruppen should be 0 cp and single squads. At 3 cp it should be something like Relief Infantry, except that Relief Infantry is worthless currently. In: COH2 Balance
