Thread: Grenadiers - Not for the faint of micro24 Sep 2015, 17:15 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 16:59 PMbraciszek Huh. Long range grens seem to disagree for many reasons... Because every single map is an open field and LMG grens somehow magically figured out a way to increase their range from 35 to 45 and thus are able to totally shoot back at max range against Maxim's and .50 cal's. Long range superiority depends on you being able to kill enough of the enemy before they close to CQC, can't do that when the enemy has far better Received Accuracy than you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadiers - Not for the faint of micro24 Sep 2015, 16:54 PM The biggest issue is that what kept Gren's in the game was good scaling because their starting received accuracy + received accuracy from vet made them have more survability against small arms than their other basic counterparts. Gren Rec Acc at Vet 3: 0.7007, effective health is 456 Riflemen Rec Acc at Vet 3: 0.59752, effective health is 669 Conscript Rec Acc at Vet 3: .6522, effective health is 735 Volks Rec Acc at Vet 5: 0.81, effective health is 493 This results in basic Axis infantry falling apart later into the game because the superior scaling it once relied to remain effective is now gone. Resulting in Allied basic infantry being more resistant not only to small arms fire but explosives as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Incendiary grenade needs to be looked at24 Sep 2015, 16:46 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 16:16 PMArclyte LOL I dont even know what to say to this, except that I wish there was an ignore feature on this forum As Soviets you start with 20 fuel, if you spend 15 on molotovs you only need 5 more for T1 or 15 more for T2. That's like 30-45 seconds of fuel income. If you start with a Kubel as OKW then you need 5 more fuel to get your first truck. Like have you never done conscript starts before as Soviets? You sure seem to have a lot of games as them to have never tried. The new PPSH is great and with vet they are insanely durable, I highly recommend it. For its current cost grenade is fine, if they nerf it then they need to lower the cost. I am willing to pay over 30 muni(with muni reduction) for a better than average grenade, but if they are going to bring it down to average grenade levels then it needs to cost less munis. So in your mind it's find paying 37.5 munitions for a molotov? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is heavy artillery not a necessary role?24 Sep 2015, 15:47 PM Honestly a huge part of the reason why OKW (and to a lesser extent Ostheer) has been so underwater lately is artillery proliferation. Which kind of makes me hesitant to say we need to add even more. Yeah making the Sexton not shit is good but USF already has a huge leg up on OKW in 1v1 and 2v2 so making it so that USF has an even huger lead is not a good idea IMO. I mean you can say it's part of OKW's core design to be super weak to artillery, but it kind of sucks losing a game because your enemy just got enough uncounterable artillery on his side to blow your ass back to the stone age.

Thread: Those stupid leiG spam24 Sep 2015, 15:42 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 15:33 PMdrChengele I am putting everyone in this thread who is saying that ISG is not overpowered and that OKW need its performance on a list. Every time any one of these persons complains about allied units overperforming in the future I will requote their posts from this thread, replacing "LeIG" with <<allied unit they are complaining about>>. Maybe this will teach them the elements of logic. This kind of attitude is so cancerous. You know this isn't some sort of race to see who's the biggest grudge holder right? It makes you look like a child when you can't let go what people have said on a video game forum. At the end of the day even if people disagree with you, you shouldn't hold it against them.

Thread: OKW Incendiary grenade needs to be looked at24 Sep 2015, 15:39 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 15:12 PMMuxsus You can't even throw the molotov at 15+ range. It's max range at Vet 0 is 15 and at Vet 2 is 20. Also the delay difference is still significant, and considering how every second in the fire will take away some 15% of a squad's hp, the incendiary nade deserves a larger muni cost. The molotov and incendiary nade have the exact same DoT and initial damage. As in they literally just linked the flame nades DoT to that of the molotov's instead of making a new one: \| \| \| dot_weapon: "molotov_cocktail_dotdamage_mp"; Though I can't understand how molotov tech (sidegrade) and okw truck (main tech) can be similar. As Soviets you start with enough fuel to instantly research Molotovs, similarly you start with enough fuel to get 1 truck as OKW. Both are free to get, if you spend fuel on something else that's on you. Considering the nerf, it would be ok to reduce the nade's cost to 25 since the resource penalty is a thing. It should be 20, as with the penalty that would keep it at 25. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Incendiary grenade needs to be looked at24 Sep 2015, 14:45 PM Uhm, you do know it's literally a molotov with a longer travel time right? As in if your in a building you will take just as much damage from it as if you were hit by a molotov. The only difference is that the delay on the throw for the molotov is longer by about half. If throwing at 15+ range Molotov will hit first If throwing at 5->15 Flame Grenade will hit first. Tbh the OKW Flame Nade should only cost about 20 munitions in it's current state since it's a lot huger of an investment. And both the molotov and first truck upgrade are free. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: September 24th Hotfix Patch Notes24 Sep 2015, 05:11 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 04:38 AMFiresparks use accessory weapon != game event action. I don't know what the game event do, but I think it's mainly book keeping the weapon range on the molly is still 15 even if the ability range is 20. In this case the weapon range limitation wins out. The delay in the spawning of the projectile is what determines how fast you through it. As both grenades when flying through the air are not actually the weapon, they are just a projectile linked to a weapon. I don't really have time (since it's 1 am....) to go in game and test to perfectly time every grenade but as far as I can tell windup doesn't have any relation to throw time because Volks throw takes long than .25 seconds (which the weapon indicates as it's wind up time...) Regardless, in it's current state the Flame Grenade on Volks is not worth 37.5 munitions. Have to upgrade to molotovs. The cost of upgrading is less than your starting fuel, getting flame grenades be it on Cons or OKW is free. In: Lobby
Thread: September 24th Hotfix Patch Notes24 Sep 2015, 04:02 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 03:59 AMFiresparks wind down doesn't matter for throwing grenades, since that's just animation after the grenade have exited the thrower's hand. I'm not talking about wind down, I'm talking about the delay before the ability activates and spawns the projectile. \| \| \| \| delay: { \| \| \| \| \| $REF: "action\delay.lua"; \| \| \| \| \| 0x3251A3EE: 52850; \| \| \| \| \| 0x8C660CB4: false; \| \| \| \| \| delay: 3.6f; \| \| \| \| \| delay_min: 0f; \| \| \| \| \| delayed_actions: [ \| \| \| \| delay: { \| \| \| \| \| $REF: "action\delay.lua"; \| \| \| \| \| 0x3251A3EE: 469322; \| \| \| \| \| 0x8C660CB4: false; \| \| \| \| \| delay: 1.5f; \| \| \| \| \| delay_min: 0f; \| \| \| \| \| delayed_actions: [ You will notice that all windup's in the game files are small enough to be contained inside the delay action for throwing the grenade.

Thread: September 24th Hotfix Patch Notes24 Sep 2015, 03:45 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 03:30 AMJadame! And throw animation length is what makes all the difference. Incendiary nade better than molotov, but 35 still too much for what you get. The throw animation is 3.6 for Molotov and 1.5 (info found in abilities, these two numbers are the delay to account for the animation) for Incendiary nade, and since the Molotov moves at 10 speed to the Incendiary's 5, this means if you throw at something at 15-25 range the molotov will hit faster, below that the Incendiary will hit first. Basically if your using it for anti garrison the molotov is better because it hits faster at a longer range, but for just throwing down in front of you the incendiary is better. Really as you said the 35 munitions for the incen grenade is to much considering how finely split the molotov and incendiary nade is. In: Lobby
