Thread: ukf commando's Grenade 4 Jun 2016, 10:39 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jun 2016, 08:54 AMSoheil u cant compare it with any axis grenade,its like demo or penals bomb(but instantly). Oh yes you can, because after they integrate may balance preview mode the stats of non-doctrinal bundle grenade will be exactly the same. On the other side you can't compare it with demo or satchel charge, they fulfill a completely other role. Demo: static (constructed) + much higher lethal AOE + heavy damage to structures/tanks Satchel charge: higher timer + higher lethal AOE + heavy damage to structures/tanks Imo they shouldn't have buffed bundle grenade, instead nerf commando grenade and buff combat vet scaling accordingly. Really it is the grenade thrown out of camouflage that keeps commandos in the game when opponent infantry units are a vet3 to vet5. The problem with commando vet is that commandos were way to strong even versus full vetted units at release and thus got nerfed. But offensive vet wasn't working at that moment. While commandos only get one small accuracy bonus with vet all other infantry units get a lot stronger offensive stats with vet. Thus commandos fall behind now that vet is working finally.

Thread: Churchill is garbage4 Jun 2016, 10:01 AM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2016, 19:58 PMStug life dude look at what i responded and stop posting he just said Churchill has a worst gun than medium tank I didn't said that you are wrong, neither I wanted to defend his statement. I only added an aspect you have to think about when comparing guns, is it prohibited to do that?. While it has the same gun the performance of the gun is not the same, because a churchill can't flank. Lets overdo this to make it more obvious. A Cromwell with a gun of maybe 70 penetration and 320 damage would be a gamebreaking unit versus tanks, a Churchill with the same gun would suck hard versus tanks unless opponents would drive their tanks right into the Churchill with their rear side first.

Thread: Typical day on COH2 Balance threads29 May 2016, 11:12 AM Jump back to quoted post29 May 2016, 01:32 AMKamzil118 USF has the Pershing and the Soviets have the IS-2. These are late-game units which they can choose to cause conflict with the Ostheer and the OKW. While you are right, that there are still problems with OKW and Brits and Ostheer is the late game underdog out of this three, soviet and especially USF have a lot more troules. You can't say they are good a late game because they have a one heavy tank capped at 1, that is available in one (USF) or a few commanders (soviet). While Soviet still stands a chance in lategame because of a decent rocket artillery and the possiblity to take the upgunned T34 in one commander with IS-2, with T34/85 beeing one of the best tanks in the game in cost/performance relationship, USF simply can't do this. You have to make the choice Easy Eight or M10 or Pershing or Rocket artillery or Artillery. You'll only get one of this units and thats not enough for late game. USF really sucks in lategame.

Thread: Churchill is garbage27 May 2016, 19:18 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2016, 19:06 PMStug life its literally the same as the Cromwell Yes, only 120 penetration, because Cromwell is a flanking tank with high speed/accleration. Something that does not fit the role of the Churchill very well. So its worse on top of a Churchill chassis. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer lategame needs a buff26 May 2016, 19:08 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2016, 15:34 PMButcher Something needs to be done about the Panther. It is not worth it in about any realistic scenario in the game. There are no swarms of Allied heavy tanks with high armor. Thus the penetration (while great on paper) is not needed. To compensate this high penetration the Panther has a slow reload. Thus you end up with the slow reload yet none of the practical benefits of the Panthers gun. It simply fulfills an unneeded role. At least give it some better AI capabilities or a higher rate of fire so it is worth building. You are ignoring a ressource which is getting more important in higher game modes: population. Panther is in a very good spot with 16 population compared to 10 for a T34 for example. So 3x T34 is roughly the same as 2x Panther. Guess how will win if you focus your fire and keep at distance with a frontal armor of 320. Panthers were always good for driving in frontally sniping one tank and moving backwards. High armor + high speed + good health kept it alive. Panther remains good versus mediums if properly microed, of course there has to be a threat for panther. This comes in form of TDs, you have to watch for these. But wasn't this always the case? Furthermore ask yourself which tank you want to use versus IS-2 if you didn't choose Elefant. 375 frontal armor is quite a bit to penetrate. Panther comes in handy to do so. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't congratulate you, Zoobe26 May 2016, 17:32 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2016, 17:30 PMFG127820 Also Zoobee should be ashamed of himself for rank manipulation. He played multiple ~1 min games with a rank ~100 OKW 1v1 account he controlled. Yes thats the real reason for beeing number 1. Shame on him. Land matress is strong and will be nerfed, but it is not the reason for his rank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't congratulate you, Zoobe26 May 2016, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2016, 17:08 PMPanzerschützen I didn't. It turned out for me that I am a little bit of a masochist person. And because of that you are punishing yourself by playing OKW which needs as much skill as playing brits do? Real axis players are playing Ostheer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer lategame needs a buff26 May 2016, 13:37 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2016, 11:33 AMPencilBatRation OST has multiple problems at the moment: Repairing: With the allied AT/TD receiving mega buffs, pioneers need to have a %50 faster repair rate minimum. Grenadiers: High reinforce cost, high veterancy requirements. Panzer IV: Rarely penetrates vehicles which can penetrate it quite often, overpriced Ostwind: Bad rate of fire, completely random splash damage, sub par veterancy bouses Panther: Too expensive for doing the only thing it is good at, destroying some mediums. With the mega buffs to allied TD/AT, this unit is going to be absolutely useless. It isn't worth any more than 400/150, unless it's damage increased or reload time significantly reduced. Tiger: Again suffering from a high reload time while dealing average damage. Elefant: Easily swarmed by the superior yet inexpensive allied mediums and out classed by the FireFly and Jackson blobs. leFH: Throwing poop shells Panzerwerfer: It does not perform it's supposed role thanks to its short range and short barrage duration; being a reliable late game arty capable of at least partially wiping 6-man support crews, or immortal vet3 exterminators. SdKfz251 Ost needs this HT to overcome their lack of mobility and on field presence. IT is waaaay toooo expensive for its durability and necessity. Repairing: I would like to see their repair speed go up with minesweeper upgrade and same treatment for soviet. Grenadiers: Long range grenade, good LMG upgrade, snare... just okay Panzer IV: Yes it rarely penetrates IS-2 or what do you mean? It has better combination of armor and penetration than most other medium non-doctrinal tanks. No, it is not a bs overperforming unit, but it is just right. Ostwind: Too much RNG, needs do dish out more reliable damage. Panther: Really? Still one of the best tanks in this game, lets wait for the "mega" buffs to allied TDs, I bet Panther will remain strong. Tiger: Don't think its damage is a problem. Less armor and way less mobility than a Panther means it can be killed more easily inspite of higher health pool. Thats more of a problem. Elefant: In 1vs1 the Elefant has no gameplay value, but in 3v3 and 4vs4 it is borderline op, at least on some maps and especially in AT. I always play it with Jaeger armor with a vetted and scoped 222 next to it. It is such a strong combo, that I don't know what you are doing wrong. leFH: Not the shells are the problem, insta-death by offmaps is a much bigger problem. Same goes for soviet howitzer. Panzerwerfer: What is its supposed role? It is fine at weakening defensive lines with weapon teams, infantry and light vehicles. Panzerwerfer is okay. It is vice versa, there are still other rocket artillery pieces that are too strong. SdKfz251 I have to admit having no opinion or idea on this one. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer lategame needs a buff25 May 2016, 23:11 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2016, 23:54 PMPanzerGeneralForever Get a 222 with spotting scopes, place him in a centralized spot off the frontline and see what the enemy is doing. Give sight for your indirect fire, TDs, infantry, ATGs, and HMGs and you already have a huge advantage over your enemy. Best 4v4 cmdr for ostheer IS jaeger armor. This. You need at least one Ostheer Player in 4vs4 for Fuel Caches, oneshotting howitzers with 50kg bomb and this kind of legal 222 maphack (luckily you can do all this with Jaeger armor). The 222's sight with Vet and Scope is nothing less than insane, giving you a lot of time to react to enemy attacks or precisely targeting the most vulnerable targets at their frontline with onmaps and offmaps (maybe they even don't know that you can see them all the time).

Thread: Panzerwerfer vs Emplacements - make it burn!23 May 2016, 22:17 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2016, 03:09 AMMistah_S You smoking crack or something? Please ask yourself: Does this sentence contributes in any way to a reaonable and respectful debatte? Jump back to quoted post23 May 2016, 03:09 AMMistah_S I've lost so many games to all OKW vs all Brits because they've placed that friggin Vickers in ALL available ambients.... it was GG 3 minutes in. I personally don't find it that hard to incendiary-nade them if I attack with two squads out of two different angles. Vickers has very low supression, so one squad should come through. The only exception to this are maybe maps with a lot of ambient buildings close together, but thats bad map making not a problem of faction design. On the other side I fought some of my most dominant games as OKW on building heavy maps with a double stormpioneer start. Lets wait for balance mod to get implemented, OKW will have its own MG then. Jump back to quoted post23 May 2016, 03:09 AMMistah_S Dont tell me they have weak early game. IS are currently the strongest infantry of all So now its my turn: Don't know what drugs you are taking but I want them too ;-) Sorry for that, just a little ironic tit for tat to prove that I'm not humorless entirely. The strongest infantry of the game: - is rather expensive - has high reinforcement costs - has pop cost above average for standard infantry units - gets combat penalties out of cover - has no snare and no good handheld AT - has no reliable options versus units in buildings - has only four men by default and is very prone to fastest sniper fire by OH - scales worse than most other standard infantry units with vet - is bugged with that damned scoped rifle upgrade at vet3 - takes a lot of teching costs and upgrades worth 150 munitions to make it useful for mid and lategame They can be quite handy if played the right way but thats it. Let me think about it... when was I steamrolled by an allround IS blob the last time? Oh wait... that never happend... sigh... In: COH2 Balance
