Thread: Can we plz fix the Rifle nade?3 Jul 2015, 21:55 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 11:05 AMTheMachine Regardless of weapon teams, Rifle Nades are just a really poorly designed mechanic. They don't clear garrisons properly, which is what they're supposed to do, instead they result in gimmicky, effortless squad wipes. Firing a Rifle nade over a shot blocker that you literally can not see coming and have no time to dodge because it's instant detonate resulting in a squad wipe is just silly. It also makes no sense how they detonate instantly, combined with the fact they have the best animation that can be very hard to spot compared to other grenade animations. It also breaks late game and makes LMG Grens far stronger than what they should be, because it makes other long range LMG unable to remain static for fear of being instawiped. This encourages blobbing because you can't risk fighting on multiple fronts against Rifle Nades. Giving Grenadiers regular grenades like Volks or Fusileers would be a great chance to not only increase the viability of allied support teams, but also just to decrease the skilless "free" squad wipes and result in more tactical play. It would also help Ost clearing garrisons which is something they lack. It would be extremely unbalanced for Grens do have regular grenades. Why? Because grens are long range focused. They are countered by closing to close range with them and duking it out were they have the least DPS on their LMG and take the most damage from you. They also can't use their rifle grenade in CQC. Now if they had a regular potato masher? You could just throw a grenade in the path your enemy is rushing you from to wipe them. I don't think the solution to rifle nades over preforming is to make Ostheers basic infantry unit good at every range and situation they might encounter. In: COH2 Gameplay

Also you can't just ignore the other muni items I mentioned. With all of these items considered there are plenty of muni uses for Soviets. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying they are different in focus to the other factions when it comes to use of muni. And conscripts are very much not cabbage after 7 minutes, they have fairly good utility. It would have good distinction from normal grenades: - Grenades deal lethal damage in the middle of explosion and low damage on far end of AoE - Molotov would do same damage in all AoE no matter how close model standing to middle of explosion. It would be nice if molotovs also obscured sight considering the fire/smoke element... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Molotov problem or...?3 Jul 2015, 21:33 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 21:31 PMCruzz All flame weapons worked off the same 5% / 10% chance defined in infantry unit model stats. So every single ability that had flame damage got nerfed in the patch. None of the offmaps or grenades got their aoes improved like the "proper" flamethrower weapons so it was just a straight up nerf, larger nerf for them. Yeah I noticed that the flame barrage on the Ost Mortar HT and Soviet call in didn't do very much this past patch when I used them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Molotov problem or...?3 Jul 2015, 21:08 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 21:04 PMBob Loblaw Mines, Oorah to do the flanks the faction needs to do as Axis sits behind OP42s and LMGs, Mollies, Trip flares, flame throwers, DPs, .50 Kraut mower. You need to get these things to keep your infantry in the game. Also demo charges. There is never an excuse to float muni. Think about this in comparison to the other factions. You HAVE to use smoke as USF, you need to upgrade all your basic infantry with weapons as USF, ect. For OKW it's pretty self explanatory, you have high costing munition upgrades and reduced income. Ostheer is probably the most MP intensive faction, you need Muni for medics, upgrade all your basic inf, expensive mines, ect. Soviet's just don't have as much upgrades, most of the stuff you high lighted are abilities like the demo, molotovs, oorah, and mines. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Molotov problem or...?3 Jul 2015, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 20:51 PMBob Loblaw If any faction is floating munitions then the player is messing up. That is how RTS games work. Soviets don't float munitions. Soviet's just don't have as many mandatory upgrades as other factions do. Most Soviet munition dumps are just artillery and special abilities. For instance you don't need to pay for special weapons on your infantry and medics cost MP. This doesn't justify molotovs being crap, but Soviets floatin' muni Is a Thing That Exists. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2 is the most unbalanced game ever3 Jul 2015, 18:20 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 17:57 PMMajorBloodnok Wrong again, I fear. SEGA and Relic would have hardly persisted with COH2 to their financial detriment, if DOW3 was the answer to their profit problems, as you appear to suggest.... They didn't by Relic for CoH2 that's for sure. DoW is the best selling RTS outside of Starcraft. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Katyusha was really like?3 Jul 2015, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 08:19 AM__deleted__ Cost about 136 fuel ? Really ? Alex please meet with math at first and then start saying something ... When okw get 66 % fuel penalty(in reality is is something near 70 % because fuel poins give you 71% [you get 5 fuel from 7] if we talk theoreticly in half map control) And if you get 66 % fuel it means you get 100 fuel instaed of 150 (if you were other faction) because 66 % of 150 fuel is 100 F And 66% of 136 fuel is something about 90 fuel. OKW get 71% (well give or take sometimes it can actually be the 66% or sometime 73% depending on map control) on average. Now, here's the math. 100/.73 = 136, 100/.71 = 140. The reason why you want to do this conversion when talking about unit cost is that it means OKW artificially will never be able to match the enemy in amount of vehicles made (this is by design).

Thread: CoH2 is the most unbalanced game ever3 Jul 2015, 17:31 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 08:40 AMAchtAchter People really think all 200 relic employees are still working on coh2 They have a small team that keeps developing dlcs/patches as long its profitable. And this is probably the case since release. ^^^ This. Relic is probably working on DoW3 (which would make them a lot of money) and has a skeleton team working on CoH2. From a money standpoint there isn't much reason for them to keep working on CoH2. Now, balanced and stat tweaks can still be very easily done by skeleton teams so... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A Molotov problem or...?3 Jul 2015, 17:29 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2015, 17:14 PMArclyte cons are better off drinking the booze and trying to forget how shitty their unit is Cons in most respects outside the molotov are fine. They cheap, versatile, hard to wipe, and can easily remain useful late game with merge squad. There are a couple of ways you could fix the molotov: 1. Thrown faster 2. Cause's tanks engines to overheat making them more useful in more situations 3. Block sight, smoke from them would obviously make it harder to see 4. Just be included in the AT grenade upgrade.

Thread: Stug G vs. Soviet and Allied armor3 Jul 2015, 17:26 PM also the fact that the stugg can kill infantry quite well at closer ranges. FYI that's a bug because Relic cannot into Q&A so they have the StuG III's main gun .6 accuracy at close range instead of .06 or .006 or w/e In: COH2 Gameplay
