Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v44 Sep 2019, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 21:49 PMMr. Someguy Caches are an issue in 3v3 and 4v4 because they can be put far behind friendly lines and generate extra fuel and munitions in addition to the extra amount you get for being on a larger map with more resource points. So all large maps have more resource points? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v44 Sep 2019, 22:11 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 21:04 PMDerKuhlmann Its not fun when games turn into who can spam most panthers and tank destroyers. So maybe turn it up to 350 manpower so its more a risk? Maybe just build your own caches? It's already a risk because early game it always means one less unit on the field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should Light Gammon bombs/bundles level wooden buildings?4 Sep 2019, 20:21 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 17:03 PMdistrofio Voted yes, but i wanted to ask sincerely. Do flamethrowers in MP burn buildings down like in the campaign? Is there a way to implement this for wooden buildings only? I think thats the cheapes way to demolish pesky garrisons, scorched earth style... Disclaimer: I tested this about a year ago. It could have changed in one of the patches since then. The large brick buildings take 2-3 minutes to start on fire with a single flamer engineer. IIIRC, the time is a little lower for the OST flamer HT. I didn't test the Wasp. It can be done but how often can you spare your engineer for that length of time. The fastest way to take out any building is the simplest: a Sturmtiger. It one-shots just about any building, maybe any building (haven't tried it on the big station in Ettlebruck). Buildings seem to have about the right amount of health now. I wouldn't support a change beyond making demo charge-type abilities destroy them. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Scott in LT or CP as the OKW Walking stuka.4 Sep 2019, 17:15 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 06:08 AMRiley Here is a contradiction, your friend claims that early stukas is a risk and a bad idea. Then I said transfer it to T3. You say now that this is a nerf. So can you give a definite answer? This is an advantage, and transfer to T3 will be considered a nerf, or it is not an advantage, and is a risk and not a working meta. Normally people get Stukas after a Luchs and Puma. Early is anything before that and puts your Stuka at risk to a diving AEC or something similar. Transferring it to T3 is a big nerf in terms of timing. Even getting one before T3 has some risk because the 100 fuel means your first tank comes out about 3 minutes later. I've ran into a few good that used double Scotts. It's really difficult to deal with as OST. They outrange your Stugs, can force your AT gun to retreat or be wiped, force a lot of retreats on infantry. Putting it in LT or CP would badly unbalance the game. If they were to change it, I'd like to see them turn it into a real howitzer, buffing the barrage considerably and further nerfing direct fire.

Thread: Snipers, to make them more supportive4 Sep 2019, 02:25 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2019, 16:03 PMBalanced_Gamer Where do you find "durability" mentioned in that post? Here Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2019, 21:50 PMBalanced_Gamer I think the cover feature should take in more effect. So green cover should apply 0.5 Recieved accuracy and 0.5 received damage And yellow cover should be different for snipers, Recieved accuracy instead is 1 but the damage is 0.5 received damage. (Yellow cover is usually 0.5 Recieved accuracy and 1 recieved damage). Tell me what you think about this? Bad suggestion. Snipers are already much too durable. I've had snipers stand in open ground at long range against my unupgraded Grens and never really be at risk of losing the sniper. I had an OST sniper take a direct hit by a pack howie and walk away from it. I don't mind the overall suggestion of changing them to be more of a support unit. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF Sherman 76 mm - Who needs it?3 Sep 2019, 19:19 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2019, 17:15 PMRiley No one needs this tank, except the Soviet. It is not so good, it is not interested in anything to keep the slot in the mechanized doctrine. It was somewhat OP as a call-in. Now it just occupies this strange niche between a standard Sherman and a Jackson. It would be nice if they used this as the model for a Sherman Jumbo, especially if it was a 76mm Jumbo, which was somewhat rare but not any more rare than a lot of other units in COH2.

Thread: Obers arriving earlier3 Sep 2019, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2019, 16:18 PMinsaneHoshi Kat and Werfer are stronger at destroying blobs of inf. Doesn't it depend a little on the map? One of my friends got 41 models with his first Stuka barrage on Essen. Size of blobs decreased greatly after that. The Werfer is probably the best as it will wipe full health Riflemen on open maps. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Snipers, to make them more supportive3 Sep 2019, 15:26 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2019, 21:50 PMBalanced_Gamer snip Sniper play is the least fun part of COH2. If I wanted to play a sneaky MOBA-style game, I'd play a MOBA, not COH2. Also, If someone brings one out, it forces you to make a counter or have a lot of MP bleed. If anything, they're too effective. As for them being fragile, the Wehr sniper shrugs off 50cal bullets as flesh wounds, both from a 50 cal mg and from a M20. The Soviet sniper isn't as durable but it still seems to take upgraded Grens, PF's, or something like a 222 to get them. Increasing their durability is a terrible idea. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion2 Sep 2019, 20:17 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2019, 18:08 PMRoastinGhost What if the T3 mobilize upgrade decreased the price of T4? That means it still delays the T-70 but reduces the total cost back to what it had been. Seems like that would work, assuming that it isn't too difficult to program. In: COH2 Balance
