Thread: Relic, you gonna fix 120mm, or not?25 Apr 2015, 18:37 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 10:10 AMNeo So you have a unit which is doctrinal in 2 Soviet doctrines that can be countered by a unit in 2 Ostheer doctrines. The problem is... what? It's doctrinal to 3 Soviet doctrines, 2 of which are good, and only 1 of said Ost docs is good. The MHT still is only a soft counter, whether you drive his 120's off or your flame barrages keep missing is up to RNG. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?25 Apr 2015, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 15:58 PMVuther No, it gets rotation speed from vet 3. Ah, yes I forgot it doesn't get acceleration, it does get turning speed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: m36-Jackson is over performing25 Apr 2015, 09:40 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 09:36 AMSpecialka The thing is you still have not proved that the M36 is overperforming for its cost. Each TD has a weakness or two. The JPIV: High cost, low mobility, no gun traverse. The SU-85: Thin armor, low mobility The Jackson: Thin armor/low health Previously the Jackson had two, the thin armor combined with low pen. Now one of those weakness's is gone and it has little reason to be as good as it is while your paying so little for it. On top of this is the fact you can pop cap abuse it and get instant repair crits allowing you to negate smart mine play. Now this being said: I think the Jackson is justified in it's current state because USF has basically nothing else. USF should get more AT options and the Jackson should be toned down a tiny bit.

Thread: m36-Jackson is over performing25 Apr 2015, 09:35 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 09:25 AMKatitof Congrats alex, comparing 50 range, extended sight, turboblitz, 2500hp, 320 dmg anti all free unit to a 480hp, 200 dmg, 60 range AT exclusive 350/125 tank destroyer. I believe we can now officially crown you as a new lolcake as you have reached the low needed for that. If a unit is overpreforming, it's overpreforming. When analyzing the why and how one must act logically and considering arguments for and against a buff or nerf. "lol" is not an argument, "oh but you see I made up a scenario in my head were it's fine" is not an argument. TLDR: I agree with everyone USF has shitty AT, give USF better AT in general and tone the Jackson down to be more reasonable. The old Tiger Ace was far more retarded than the Jackson is now, but plenty of people were defending it for the same reasons people defend the Jacksons current state. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: American Base howitzer25 Apr 2015, 09:32 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 09:25 AMAustralian Magic Allies AT team is very poweful in 4v4, it's obvious, but AT vs AT in late-game is not that easy, especially, when IS2 spam is facing Tigers with Jadgtigers and Elephnats behind. You know OKW has nades for 10ammo? With good scaveng you can get "free" Luchs. And like I said, 100% income with 120ammo LMG, 80/120Fuel for T3/T4 and other stuff would make more whine threads so don't say anything about adjusting fuel cause it's already adjusted for OKW most of the time (yet it should not be). You have no idea what your talking about. Infiltration nades come on the longest cool down of any ability in the game, they are by no means easy to spam and are very RNG dependent since you can't decide were the grenades land. And AGAIN; OKW's pricing is the same as every others faction's pricing in most areas. But with the fuel penalty they are paying more to justify having better stock units in some area's. If you adjust the cost of a unit for the fuel income disability it makes a lot more sense: T1 and T2 are 60 fuel. T3 is 120 fuel like every other factions. So teching for OKW is almost exactly the same as it is for other factions, barring USF who doesn't get free tech 1. The sticking part is the units, the Panther costs 265 fuel, the KT costs almost 400, the CPIV costs over 200, ect. And a "free" luchs would require you to salvage 10 wrecks/support weapons. If you enemy is losing that many tanks and weapons they have already lost the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: m36-Jackson is over performing25 Apr 2015, 09:20 AM It would be interesting to see the same insane arguments used here be applied to the old retardly unbalanced things like Old Windustry or Old Tiger Ace. The current Jackson just over preforms for it's cheap cost, on top of USF having pop cap abuse and instant crit repairs. USF however in general has shit for nothing when it comes to AT which is pants on head retarded. EDIT: An interesting observation to make here as well is the accusations of fan boyism when 90% of the people in this thread posted "lol" without comment. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: American Base howitzer25 Apr 2015, 09:17 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 08:59 AMAustralian Magic I just wonder if you think about teching costs, and some upgrades (LMG) or nades (10!!!!) costs when you say anything about adjusting fuel. Point is, some units/features are already adjusted to lower income. Oh, and I saw many times Stuka with 80-150 kills yet Ive never seen Priest with more than 50. And let's not forget about scavenging and conversion. Im cool with 100% income for OKW, but no more vet 5, LMG for 120ammo, nades for 40, T4 for 120fuel etc etc. The Stuka comes in sooner and is shooting at larger squads. No shit it will have more model kills than a Priest will. But the fuel penalty is central to OKW's design because things that look cheap are actually pretty much just on par or more expensive than what other factions get. OKW has .80 munitions, so the nade is already almost 40 (37.5) and the LMG is 75 while the Shrek is 112.5. Scavenging really isn't a crutch you can rely on when it demands your enemy sucking ass anyway to make up the difference. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: American Base howitzer25 Apr 2015, 08:51 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 08:44 AMAustralian Magic leig - pack priest (doc) - stuka (non doc). MHT? Really? It's like calling Irregulars elite-inf cause they are doc. And last time I checked, none unit costs 151 fuel ("adjusting" fuel is just shitty argument). The support guns like the Pack Howitzer and LeiG are not indirect fire units, they won't be hitting anything if you use them like so. They are best used for firing directly into enemy lines and for that reason they are not indirect fire units. The USF mortar HT is the most accurate mortar in the game fyi, it also is much more durable than the Ost mortar HT. And the Priest can be pop cap abused. The fuel adjustment thing is central to OKW's entire design, for every 1 fuel every single other player gets okw gets .66 fuel. EDIT: The ignoring of the OKW fuel penalty one of the most consistently dumb things I see on this forum. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?25 Apr 2015, 08:48 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 07:40 AMAustralian Magic Well.. It has same turning speed as SU85... Not to mention that with vet2 it can self spot without losses for mobility. It gets no turning speed from Veterancy and it has to constantly turn to fire it's main gun because it can't traverse like an SU-85's can. The acceleration on it is also flaming hot garbage. tbh the JPIV is really good on some maps, and total garbage on others like many units in the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?25 Apr 2015, 05:58 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2015, 04:15 AMNuclear Arbitor i don't understand your issue with the jpIV. it's good when it comes out and fucking amazing with vet. it should never die because it's tough, hard to hit, and OKW support units to protect it from other vehicles in most of their main builds. the raketen has STANDARD penetration for an AT gun. STANDARD PENETRATION FOR AN AT GUN. it's not low, it's not high, it's standard. the zis has the same pen and the pak has an insignificant 10 more at far/medium/long. let's not talk about the 57mm. the 10 range difference on the raketen affects pen insignificantly and is a different "issue". STANDARD PENETRATION! Why is why I compared it to the ZiS gun and pointed out you don't want to rely on ZiS guns to kill a King Tiger. The issue with the Rackten in facing the IS2 the most however is the fact it's really easy to 1 shot due to the high AoE of the IS2 and the extremely close grouping of the crew. The JPIV's issue is mostly just pathing and being overwhelmed, it has really, really bad turning speed meaning that you need to micro the fuck out of it to keep it in the action. In: COH2 Balance
