Thread: Flacktrack29 Jul 2015, 13:06 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 13:04 PMZyllen support them with the sp's and kubel then. Since the rackten buff I just got for an extra sturm and early rackten with maybe 3 Volks. Normally I only get more if I need more map control or I'm desperate. Right now Volks don't really have a point to them. They are the most useful for infiltration nades lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flacktrack29 Jul 2015, 13:00 PM Would be p cool if the AA HT's got 400 health and Ost got the Pak moved to T1 so all factions have access to early AT and can counter the HT's but they could still remain useful. volks by themselves can still handle early game by themselves No, they cannot. Volks are a joke that exist only to carry around shreks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flacktrack29 Jul 2015, 12:56 PM How useful a JPIV is depends entirely on how many SU-76's the enemy is spamming and how much he is supporting them. Versus USF if he's going for M10's forget the JPIV even exists. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flacktrack29 Jul 2015, 12:31 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 12:20 PMBurts Why does it need buffs in the first place? It's used incredibly often even without the buff. It has free smoke which makes it much more survivable than the USF AA HT, and it can come out significantly earlier. Why do you want every single axis unit to get buffed to be significantly better than its allied counterpart? The flak HT is already significantly better than the USF one due to it's smoke and scaling + insane damage output. You said you dont play 1v1, so why do you speak about it? The Flak HT doesn't really have much in the way of scaling because it can't stick around on the field once actual real AT hit's the field (you can't counter play smoke by just shooting through it). I don't want every single Axis unit buffed (although I guess it's par for the course for players like you to phrase every argument like that because le ebin fanboy meme) but Axis light vehicles right now are kinda bleh due to their very low survivability. I'm not at all apposed to the USF AA HT getting enough HP to survive an extra AT gun shot, but right now the Flak Track is used because OKW isn't swimming in options early game. A Flak Track represents a huge investment yet can only survive as many AT gun shots as the Kubel Can. EDIT: One way to make it more survivable would be a skirts upgrade you buy for munitions so if you want to make your Flaktrack more tough you need to not get shreks or use nades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flacktrack29 Jul 2015, 12:18 PM Giving it more health so it can survive an extra AT gun shot wouldn't exactly break the game. It can't fire while moving so 1 shot will always force it to retreat while the USF AA HT can still fire while moving away. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF - A few more design errors 29 Jul 2015, 12:16 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 04:23 AMOmega_Warrior Atleast the lieg doesn't work against OKW. You can place it within range of the base where it can get reinforced against counter-battery and protected by the flak truck. All while keeping up a nice consistant fire with it's long range autofire. The Pack howitzer is a slow, inconsistent, defensive unit in a faction that's all about mobility and aggressiveness. It forces the USF player to fight in a style that it's not designed to. On top of that it comes in the tier with no suppression units to defend it. It's crummy range forces it to be close to the front line, yet it doesn't even have a gun shield like the leig to defend it and can't retreat if it gets in trouble. It's increased range with barrage might as well not even be there since it's accuracy past that point makes it impossible to even hit anything. The pack really doesn't really belong in USF as it is right now. The LeiG and long range don't belong together in the same sentence. You have to use it at close range and offensively because it can't hit anything with it's extremely small AoE if you use it at long range. I would almost always take a Pack Howitzer over a LeiG any day because the Pack Howitzer has a much better AoE and veterancy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M5 Quadrush29 Jul 2015, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 10:23 AMOZtheWiZARD No. Needs either a cost increase/ adjustment or damage reduction. Not all of that at once. No it needs both because it can rape enemy light vehicles, comes incredibly early, and can always cause main gun destroyed at 25% health so the vehicle can't even fight back. Making it come 1-2 minutes later won't fix the fact it's horrible screaming death for the few light vehicles the Axis factions DO have. Kubel though should be torn apart, its T0 car, not even armored one, its just a car with MG. It kills it faster than AT guns do Though solution could also be lowering damage and increasing accuracy, which would keep AI dps at intended level while diminishing effectiveness against light vehicles. It's AI damage isn't acceptable either. It just needs to do a lot of suppression but not THAT much damage. Especially since it has no set up or tear down time or Kubel-like function. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flacktrack29 Jul 2015, 12:06 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 10:08 AMOZtheWiZARD How about different response to different battlefield situations? Going flacktruck against Stuart is stupid. It's OK for OKW to not build Flacktruck every game. USF players go Stuart almost every game now and Soviet players will almost always get early M5's. Which is the problem; the Flaktrack can't be used because people can get a counter out to it (that it can't avoid or fight back at) at the same time it hits the field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF - A few more design errors 29 Jul 2015, 04:05 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 03:56 AMOmega_Warrior I wish the pack howitzer wasn't a gimmick unit that relied on lucky wipes and actually allowed USF to have good long range indirect. +1. Also LeiG needs the same help. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF - A few more design errors 29 Jul 2015, 03:19 AM Realistically speaking OKW is actually more historically accurate than it's ever been. Out of date PIV's upgunned and forced into battle fighting alongside JPIV's while being hopelessly outnumbered is pretty realistic. I support USF getting the Pershing but is isn't going to be the magic bullet that fixes USF. It's just going to be Rifle Company 2.0. In: COH2 Balance
