Thread: Grittle's Italian-German Faction Idea (From Official Forums)23 May 2016, 22:22 PM Due to M10 Vehicle Crushing not being a thing anymore, Guastatori no longer get Panzerfausts, but now can get 2 AT rifles as an Upgrade, requiring T1 or T2 to be unlocked. Bersas and Combat Motorcycles still get Panzerfausts. also other changes all in the OP. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope20 May 2016, 20:29 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2016, 18:24 PMwouren The reasons are low reinforcement cost, extra abilities, and customizability. In elite infantry doctrine, You can get a schreck and G43s. Also, I've heard rumors of there being different G43 stats for Pgrens. If true, do the stormtroopers use the normal G43 or the Pgren one? Yes, the G43 stats for Pgrens are vastly different than Gren G43s. I believe one G43 is better close range while the other is better long range. But, with an educated guess in mind, Stormtroopers would most likely get the Pgren G43s, as they share Pgren Price, Portrait, and Voice Clips In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Valiant assault VS For Mother Russia20 May 2016, 20:06 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2016, 17:55 PMMATRAKA14 Kv1 is rubbish, lacks firepower against infantry (specially AT infantry) lacks firepower against tanks, lacks armour/hp to be a meat shield, not spamable. b4 has a humongously huge scatter, it extends way further than the aiming reticle of the unit. For Mother Russia is not enougth to save the doctrine, and overall in late with the current soviet infantry is not really that useful, its more like a amunition burn. (it could use some audio, it feels bad without urrahs or battle cries) Mother Russia could use alittle more "pizzazz" in terms of what it does There should be 2-3 recon recon planes scouting the map while the ability is active, or provide smoke barrages on enemy front lines Also, Mother Russia should have 25% Suppression Resistance while active.

Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope19 May 2016, 23:43 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2016, 08:38 AMnee Mmm the plane's increased speed and/or splitting into multiple planes means they are more survivable to being shot down. Pretty good ideas. I don;t know what Karbinder is talking about with replacing Stormtroopers w/ camouflage, I take it you meant Ambush Camouflage? Most Likely, But I really disagree with that in my humble opinion. If you wanted G43s and Camo, there are like 2 other commanders that have that same combination. Elite Troops already got changed too much. Besides, I love Stormtroopers. But I would love them more if they didn't cost 6 million munitions to upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Week 3 Update to the Balance Mod19 May 2016, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2016, 15:14 PMKatitof Most important thing which you missed: They can't be driven over, which was one of main volkblob counter. And 2nd most important, there is AT snare for OKW now as well. Which is 100% BS. The Panzerfaust should be removed from the volks. or atleast be a Doctrinal Bonus in a commander. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope19 May 2016, 01:38 AM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2016, 17:25 PMwouren CoH2 planes are suicidal and apparently the recon planes are the same price as a large grenade. I thought they fixed that... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Week 3 Update to the Balance Mod19 May 2016, 01:35 AM I like most of these changes I just hope they start buffing the underused commanders soon... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope18 May 2016, 17:23 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2016, 02:35 AMHans G. Schultz I'd also like to throw in a couple other ideas: Soviet's 'Allied Supply Drop' - Increase Cost by 15 munitions. Cannot drop in base sectors. Supply plane flies faster; therefore, it's less likely to be shot down. Grittle Approved Buff, maybe also split it into 3 planes dropping 10 fuel each (I believe it's 30 fuel from this ability) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope17 May 2016, 22:42 PM Jump back to quoted post17 May 2016, 22:09 PMnee Mmm I rather it just be removed entirely and they get classic paradrop earlier on. Or can Infiltrate from buildings, if you want a different approach from Airborne Company. However you look at it, it's still too high MP for lategame. I also don't like how it's combining munitions and manpower, IMO that makes it even less likely to be used. If they spawn without weapons but can upgrade themselves, it at least means you can still get them even without munitions. Making them spawn once instead of with double and lowering MP and CP costs accordingly also means this ability would be used more frequently. You may be on to something with infiltration Paratroopers, But I'm afraid it would end up being copy and paste stormtroopers with a USF emblem on it. How about placing Rangers instead of the Paratroopers. it may make Heavy Cal seem less unique, but we get a makeshift "Ranger Company" that could be useful, all we have to do is fix and make Forward Observers affect Rangers too and rework I&R Pathfinders to place beacons that does something else unique, like hiding units from the minimap or increase scatter from enemy artillery. Jump back to quoted post17 May 2016, 22:09 PMnee I don't think they're useless, but they certainly are micromanagement intensive given how selecting a target squad makes you select said squad, as if you cancelled the order. It also takes a long time and until then both squads are frozen in place, perfect for a squad wipe. At best Relic should change it so the effect is instantaneous; it's not like the target squad will immediately heal to full health even when in combat. Well Sorry if I'm too harsh, let me rephrase: Medkits are on too many units. It should only be on Grens, Assault Grens, and Pioneers. Osttruppen should get a small grenade as a vet 1 ability Pgrens maybe could get tatical movement as a vet 1 ability Officer should get those concentrated barrage changes Stormtroopers should get health regen out of combat vet 2, and place the current vet 2 as vet 1. Jump back to quoted post17 May 2016, 22:09 PMnee Some commanders already feature both artillery officer and light artillery barrage. Those that don't, like Assault Support, this means they have an additional artillery barrage ability, even if limited to this unit's radius. There are numerous problems with this unit, such as not being able to pick up weapons, medkits or even supply boxes. Gaining XP from nearby units and buffing abilities sound nice, but I don't think it really helps the unit the way it needs. Well I was going to use the Officer's Radius as an excuse, but you played me like a fiddle. USF Major has Artillery (albiet pretty bad at the moment), I&R Pathfinders has Arty, OKW Panzer Commanders have Arty. and all of these don't require vet to get (Pathfinders require 6CP, Major Arty gets better at vet 2) The Officer's Concentrated barrage at its current state is basically throwing away 80 munitions 80% of the time. if it, at the very least, has light artillery as a base that your other arty units can compound on. It would make the ability much better. Jump back to quoted post17 May 2016, 22:09 PMnee KV-2 maybe, but I think the KV-1 needs more anti-infantry firepower if they're going to have such low armour. Churchill is a beast and can still fire shit up with its gun; this thing not only has a peashooter but has glass armour by comparison. Hull Down decreases damage taken speeds up reload time and increases range. Its a decent start for these tanks, But I agree that it could use some more, especially the KV-1, but I don't think I'm that qualified to tinker with the fine detail of numbers and stats of scatter angle, distance, damage, ect.

Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope17 May 2016, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2016, 21:47 PMHans G. Schultz Giving the half-track itself a mg-42 upgrade option for 60 munitions would be nice. It would at least give it a greater purpose if for some reason the passengers died. 45 Munitions and a Battle Phase 1 requirement an we have a deal. I wouldn't do 60 because the vehicle itself is very squishy and rightfully so, it literally turns a squad of infantry into a light vehicle. I Also have a few more commander suggestions: USF: Air Combat Group Affects: Recon Support Company Price Split into 450 Manpower, 150 Munitions CP Requirement Reduced by 1 AT Gun Removed 1 Paratrooper will always come with bazookas, the other Paratrooper will always come with either Tommy Guns or an LMG. (The Ability was too manpower floaty to be used effectively, the Munitions cost alleviates alot of that while still being reasonably pricey. It also came too late in my opinion and the AT gun was redundant. Also the ability now has less RNG.) OST: Westtruppen Reserves Affects: Mobile Defense Doctrine One Osttruppen will always come with an LMG 42. (Less RNG. Period.) OST: Osttruppen Affects: Prosttruppen Doctrine, Mobile Defense Doctrine. any doctrine with Relief Infantry Ability Vet 1 Ability Replaced with a Model 22 Grenade (Medkits were always useless on all units not named Pioneers, also gives Osttruppen Doctrine some light anti-garrison if skipping T1.) OST: Arty Officer Affects: Alot of Doctrines Concentrated Barrage now the Vet 1 Ability, replacing medkits. Concentrated Barrage now summons a light arty barrage (regardless of owning any artillery units or not) AND any available owned artillery unit on the map, regardless of range and cooldown. Munitions Cost increased to 90 Now Receives vet from other units fighting (Like USF Major and Captain) (This is just to update the arty officer and to make the concentrated barrage useful.) SU: KV-1, KV-2 Affects: Soviet Industry, Counterattack Vet 1 Ability Replaced with Hull Down (Same as Ostheer Hull Down, except it doesn't need infantry to do it) (Synergizes with the KV-1's "Tank Damage then Counter Attack" Motto and the KV-2's Lockdown.) SU: Commissar Affects: Not One Step Back, (Conscript Support and Guard Rifle Combined Arms Tactics if my ideas are implemented!) Cost Increased to 240 Manpower from 120 Now has a limit of 2 Officers on the field (it was too cost effective for what it does.) In: COH2 Balance
