Thread: JagdTiger and Elephant need counters18 Sep 2015, 06:25 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 06:23 AMNorthWeapon I LOVE the idea. This isn't a big nerf at all to the Elefants or Jagdtigers, it just opens up more counters to these tanks via non-tank units like infantry or artillery. Brilliant idea. +50% pen from AT guns would be the kiss of death for the Elefant and Jadgtiger. The Elefant because it's only got 10 more range and can't self sight without spotting scopes anymore and the Jadgtiger because stunlocking it isn't hard. Like both these tanks are niche units, can we please not further relegate them to the "never seen outside of 3v3 and 4v4" camp please. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Blobbing is back18 Sep 2015, 06:09 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 05:54 AMcomm_ash How were they punching above their weight? He used a smoke barrage, then walked forwards. You had nothing but 1 MG42 and a PAK. You lost. You guys lost that game from a combination of poor positioning, poor map, and poor decisions. Like seriously, you can't show me that game and use it as proof that the rifles were being OP. Dude we didn't lose the game, did you even watch the replay This also doesn't address any of my other points about Riflemen having vet that's more powerful than units with smaller model counts that cost much more per individual model. You said in another thread IS pay for their good vet in cost, but here you seem to be saying the opposite? No 5 man squad that costs less per model than many 4 man squads should not have superior received accuracy to those 4 man squads Like, this has nothing to do with "I played a game, I lost tearstearstears", this is a legitimate problem you are dismissing out of hand for unknown reasons. Do you have some sort of argument for why Rifles should cost 280 MP and have superior scaling to more expensive units as well as retaining excellent versatility? Effective Health Against Small Arms = Cumulative Health of Unit/Received Accuracy Unit or Chance to Bounce Shots with Armor Vet 3 Grens have 457 effective health (480)/.7007 Vet 3 Rifles have 714 effective health (580)/.56 Vet 3 Fallsch have 581 effective health (480)/.55 Vet 5 Sturms have 627 effective health (480)/.51 and so on and so forth, can you see what the issue is here or do I need to make it even more explicit for you?

Thread: Blobbing is back18 Sep 2015, 05:38 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 05:25 AMcomm_ash I just watched that game. Didn't change my mind in the slightest. Here is why: 1) Trois Ponts. Seriously, what did you expect? This game has plenty of hilariously badly designed maps, and this is a perfect example. 2) Unsupported team weapons. You iterally left 1 MG42 and 1 PAK gun and expected them to hold back the enemy. He dropped Sherman smoke on you, then WP arty, and you lost your defensive line. What you need to do is have at least 2 MG teams, so they can cover each other. You also need infantry in front of your teams to spot enemies. Not playing on cancer lane maps like Trois Ponts helps. 3) Blobbing. You didn't blob much, but your ally several time in the game just right clicked all their units towards the middle of the enemy blob and expected results. The 2 vet3 Flamer rifles and 4x vet3 no weapon REs complied and wrecked them, since close is the ONLY range they would have won that engagement. There were many issues that game, but even non-buffed vet 3 rifles would have done well that game. They were blobbing even at vet 2, and were still wrecking face. Yeah exactly, the Vet 3 Rifles and Vet 3 Cons were punching way above their cost. Yes our opponents were being kinda dumb on occasion (like the whole leaving thing) but I don't really understand why I need to recreate a perfect replay for you that tests all the changes in vacuums to show you that .56 Rec Acc on a 280 MP Squad that has 5 men is not okay. If you want USF to play better and not like some gimmick faction for a-movers then consider more skill based options like adding elite infantry, reducing reinforce cost at vet 3, and or adjusting RE's. Because sledgehammer changes like this suck. Insanely durable Vet 5 Volks were unbalanced, Insanely durable Vet 3 Rifles are unbalanced, Insanely durable Vet 3 cons are somewhat unbalanced but well at least they don't have freaking weapon pick ups. EDIT: I'm really going to have to actually make that table for how much high recieved acc impacts Kar98k using unit's aren't I? Because it's a problem. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Blobbing is back18 Sep 2015, 05:13 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 05:07 AMMr. Someguy Not true though. The BAR has a damage curve like the FG 42. LMG's have a very different damage curve. Pmuch, BAR's are FG42's with 1 more DPS at close and 1 less DPS at far. EDIT: This makes the match up between Fallsch and Rifles funny, in and that Fallsch cost 160 more MP and at vet 3 only have .01 better received accuracy In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Blobbing is back18 Sep 2015, 04:55 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 04:44 AMBeefSurge Alex the solution here is to buff PzGrens scaling ability, problem solved. Hate to break it you but Volks and Grens don't have to be the anti-infantry core of Axis armies, they're designed differently. And buff Sturm, Fallsch to? How about instead of just buffing literally every axis unit just give Rifles something else at Vet 3 or give USF some elite infantry instead of making them one of the most durable squads in the game.

Thread: 17th Sept Patch impressions - post here18 Sep 2015, 04:42 AM I did the math and Partisan PPSH41's do 25 DPS at close range. That is literally the highest close range DPS on any hand held weapon in the game beside the Ober IR StG 44 which does 25 DPS to. EDIT: And at Vet 3 when they get 40% more accuracy they have 35 DPS at close range In: Lobby

Can't be that they beat 320 mp sturmpios. 280 mp Ass grens and badly hurt 400 mp + 60 stg obers. WTF Dude they have literally double the ROF of shock troops (but the same damage), they are basically the new Commandos. No idea what Relic was thinking with this one tbh. In: Lobby
