Thread: British marketing is coming!!!7 Jul 2015, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 20:56 PMVon Kluge Edit: Yes I have a crush on Rose Leslie. Deal with it. I was wondering if you meant "Are you joking because you are breaking the NDA" but I don't think it's really any mystery to someone who didn't even get in that the gap between the Alpha and release is a bit, uh, odd. EDIT: This embarrassment is compounded by the fact OKW and USF still have no new commanders. In: Lobby
Thread: British marketing is coming!!!7 Jul 2015, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 20:52 PMVon Kluge I really hope you're joking I wish I was. A sept 1st release date means something went wrong/right. The right of course being Sega telling Relic "DoW3 now please " and a skeleton team having to "finish" the rest of the Brits. In: Lobby
Thread: USF superglue on tanks7 Jul 2015, 20:53 PM I find relying on Shermans alone to be hopeless a venture as relying on PIV's alone as Ostheer or 1 Panther by itself as OKW. Jacksons + Scotts are much powerful, same with StuG's + Ostwinds, well for OKW? Uh, another Panther I guess ? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British marketing is coming!!!7 Jul 2015, 20:51 PM I'm still flabbergasted that they had Brits essentially done a month ago and were going to be waiting till Sept 1st for release. Either they are totally redesigning the entire faction or they are doing ~something~ to the vanilla/wfa armies that warrants an expansion taking so long. In: Lobby
Thread: USF superglue on tanks7 Jul 2015, 19:10 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 19:06 PMBeefSurge USF vehicles are to be used extremely aggressively to make up for the fact that their infantry bleeds hard, and the faction lacks effective indirect fire. Autocrit repair enables this. USF armor and MG upgrades ought to be 50 munitions each, and M20 crew should have 2 Bazookas. And wtf can the MG42 kill the AA track? Fixing the bleed and filling the indirect fire holes are very much on the to-do list but neither of those things excuse the current absusable state of superglue. I mean at the very least fix the bugs that allow you to do it instantly. and yes if the AA HT isn't paying any attention and not firing back. In: COH2 Balance

Would make repairing for OKW essentially impossible. EDIT: OKW has a lot of high health vehicles and not a lot of munitions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF superglue on tanks7 Jul 2015, 18:51 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 18:44 PMcomm_ash You can't use reduced income to change anything beyond tech costs. Why? Because reduced income is a way to force players to make choices, and to make it harder for them to use everything at their disposal. Otherwise, why don't OKW tanks cost less fuel than their counterparts in other factions? Why isn't the volk shreck/ nade less expense than they should be compared to other abilities? USF pintle mg does not bring enough extras to be worthy of the 20 extra cost. The extra pen kinda makes sense, but there is exactly 1 unit where the pintle will deal enough damage fast enough to decrease TTK, and that is the wehr SC. Everything with more HP will still be alive long enough for the cannon to fire again. You buy a pintle for it's AI performance, and even looking at the extras, the USF pintle shouldn't be 20 mu more than Axis pintles. I didn't say I was unwilling to believe USF pintles should cost less. Personally I think pintles should just come standard with the tank and have the tank cost more rather than being an upgrade or it should be a universal upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF superglue on tanks7 Jul 2015, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 18:24 PMKatitof How is .50 cal pintle higher penetration relevant for anything? Does main cannon have trouble penetrating something that .50 cal pintle would help it with? Does axis have any infantry with armor? http://www.coh2-stats.com/small_arms/mg42_turret_mounted_pziv_mp http://www.coh2-stats.com/small_arms/sherman_m10_m36_m2hb_50cal_mounted_tank_mp Similar, but not "mostly same". .50 cal is more expensive and delivers less DPS. Penetration is irrelevant, because they have main cannons if they need to penetrate something. They are literally 1 DPS apart, but there are subtle differences if you pay attention... - .50 cal's better penetration can provide some extra "oomph" in dealing with light vehicles, always nice to have more DPS on the field when dealing with them. - .50 cal doesn't need to reload as often, meaning your less likely to enter a fight and have the gunner go "hmm, I could have reloaded after the last fight but I think I will reload now when next fight is starting" You make a good case for USF turret gunners to cost a little bit less, but I wouldn't say it's a waste at all. Here's the OKW pintles btw; http://www.coh2-stats.com/small_arms/mg42_turret_mounted_king_tiger_mp http://www.coh2-stats.com/small_arms/mg42_turret_mounted_panther_wg_mp both have less DPS than the .50 cal but almost cost the same because of OKW's munition income being reduced, but I'm sure you will make a case for them to get better when you have the time.

Thread: Balance Data Since The Patch7 Jul 2015, 18:22 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 18:08 PMTatatala Can we not make this another Alex bash fest, despite what you might think of him? Please. The irony of this statement is compounding. But you have to agree what Samich and Tatatala, at least to a degree right? This game has a very small playerbase and comparing the 1% here with LoL or SC 2, games I am very familiar, is silly. You have to balance the game in a way that attracts new people, and CoH 2 needs a lot more people. That's why you work on quality of life things. Improving the game engine and cover mechanics, fix squad bunching, MG's facing in buildings, bug fixing. Making things fun for everyone isn't hard to do when balancing. Ostheer is the easiest faction to play because it's the most straight forward, personally the game would be much better off if all teching was linear and call in's didn't exist. Commanders just added more units to your buildings. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF superglue on tanks7 Jul 2015, 18:17 PM Because bugs=balance, right? Uh, excuse me Relic calls those "features" 1919s are more expensive and weaker then LMG42s. They ARE LMG42's, but come with Defensive Stance which is well worth the 10 extra muni. I never said bars are bad, I said they aren't as cost effective as other weapons. Rather' have a BAR than not, especially on maps like Eddlebruck or Trois USF pintles are more expensive and less effective then ost pintles. Go check stats. Before you'll come up with "but squad difference", well that argument is worthless since OKW and USF were implemented. They are the same mostly except the .50 cal has better penetration. DPS wise they are very close with the .50 cal edging out ahead of OKW MG pintles and having slightly less than Ost ones. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. Yes, skirts are great upgrades, they are also expensive ones. More expensive then what ost pays for AC to counter it. Skirts are for deflecting more small arms fire, I would love to pay muni to make my light vehicles as Axis small arms fire proof. In: COH2 Balance
