Thread: OST command tank is OP?26 Jul 2015, 21:15 PM Considering it was incredibly mediocre before I think the change is quite good and helps give Ostheer armor a nice bonus now that 85's and Easy Eights come much earlier. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscripts need mid-game buff26 Jul 2015, 20:29 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jul 2015, 14:07 PMKatitof By extension of this logic, can we give cons AT upgrade now? The reason he says Volks would need an AI upgrade is because Cons beat out Volks till Volks get to vet 3, and even then it's an RNG shoot if Volks actually win. An AI upgrade to conscripts would require an AI upgrade to Volks to allow them to compete. Not to mention Shreks these days are far less in demand now that OKW has reliable AT outside of the shrek.

Thread: which bulletins stack and which do not?26 Jul 2015, 19:34 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2014, 16:50 PMHambone http://www.coh2.org/topic/27066/duplicated-intel-bulletins To quote elchino in particular: Bulletins that MAY not stack (someone would have to test them): assault_gun\isu152\armor_rotrate_isu152.txt content_update\soviet\medium-tanks\t34_85_armor.txt content_update\west_german\artillery\ig18_ability_recharge.txt content_update\west_german\light-vehicles\ostwind_armor.txt heavy_tank\tiger\heath_tiger.txt infantry\gersniper\armor_gersniper.txt light_vehicle\222\range_222.txt light_vehicle\m3a1\armor_m3a1.txt light_vehicle\recruit_health_movespeed_halftrack.txt light_vehicle\t70\armor_t70.txt medium_tank\officer_acc_armor_tank.txt medium_tank\panther\armor_dmg_panther.txt war_effort\german\stug_ap_armor.txt war_effort\soviet\su85_armor_speed.txt xp1_units\light_vehicles\flak_halftrack\armor_pro_flak_halftrack.txt xp1_units\light_vehicles\panzer_ii\armor_pro_panzer_ii.txt xp1_units\light_vehicles\stuart\armor_pro_stuart.txt xp1_units\medium_tank\officer_tank.txt xp1_units\medium_tank\vet_panzeriv\armor_vet_panzeriv.txt Or to put this list even simpler, armor increase bulletins for vehicles might not stack. Credit to elchino, cruzz, etc. Essentially everything stacks but armor. Cruzz confirmed which won't don't stack in his thread. Here's the list: soviet\medium-tanks\t34_85_armor west_german\artillery\ig18_ability_recharge west_german\light-vehicles\ostwind_armor german\assault_gun\stug_e_armor medium_tank\officer_tank.txt (armor bulletin for sherman/okw panther, WILL stack on Panther but will NOT stack on Sherman) Everything else stacks.

Thread: Switch MG34 and Kübelwagen26 Jul 2015, 18:10 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jul 2015, 14:22 PMSilencer Why are people trying to turn OKW into ost. You like ost, you play ost. It is also possible to keep the kubel alive pretty long.. Ostheer is well designed, everyone wants every faction to be like Ost because people like non-retarded faction design. In: Lobby
Thread: Crushing infantry OP26 Jul 2015, 00:58 AM Yeah the M10 needs to be looked at infantry crushing wise. It shouldn't force a retreat every time you see one. OKW doesn't have snares to slow them down either :/ In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game26 Jul 2015, 00:04 AM It's interesting to note how many people have not personally used the unit, know little about the use of it, and come to proclaim down on high how it's OP despite all the hoops one has to jump through to use it effectively. The Sturmtiger literally cannot work unless it can shoot through shotblockers, asking that to be removed is the same as asking to remove the unit itself from the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game25 Jul 2015, 23:59 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2015, 23:56 PMImagelessbean Ahh yes, the old, "Just give up when there are more than 4 players in a game" approach to balance. On a more serious note, I have not seen the Sturmtiger yet, but the ability to shoot through shot blockers should be rare to non-existant. The only reasons I don't complain about the pak43 is because the unit is already so niche. Sturmtigers should not have the ability to shoot through objects, why not reduce aim time?. If you hit something on map, sorry that's how it goes. We might also consider reducing reload time slightly. No I don't think you get how the shell on the Sturmtiger works. It used to explode on anything including tiny wooden fences and small little barrels and Relic gave it shooting through shotblocklers so it could actually work as a unit. And no nobodies given up on balance in 4's, it's just that the focus goes to the competitive game modes first because they are easier to isolate variables in. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game25 Jul 2015, 23:49 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2015, 23:21 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf 45 range is enough to make FoW shots (without the use of LoS blockers) possible. No like the shell used to explode on the tiniest world objects due to the way projectiles work. The unit doesn't function without the ability to shoot through world objects so it doing reduced damage would just kill it as a unit In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game25 Jul 2015, 23:19 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2015, 23:00 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf I think it's very map dependant. A map with lots of shot blockers (Ettlebruck, Minsk Pocket etc) makes it hard to spot a Sturmtiger without recon planes. A map like Steppes makes it very easy. We shouldn't judge too early. It comes rather late and may or may not pay off. Its gun takes a long to aim which makes it hard to use against someone who spots it with recon units. If it turns out to be uncounterable its ability to pierce through world objects should be removed. Out of curiosity: would it be possible to reduce its damage when piercing through world objects? Considering the shell won't work unless it pierces world objects, it would always just do reduced damage. In: COH2 Gameplay
