Thread: okw munis cost10 Apr 2015, 21:44 PM So what rifles can be used or not aren't based on animations but an arbitrary limit? Jesus Relic, excuses rapidly running out. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: okw munis cost10 Apr 2015, 21:34 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 21:17 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf I didn't say it was "out of place", I just don't think it is necessary. 2 StGs for 90MU...yeah, as if anyone would buy that. I'd prefer a simple damage buff for their Kar98s. 60-70 ammo for a damage buff to 14 would be OK I think. This upgrade can be purchased when T1 and T2 has been built. If you go for T1/T2 --> T4 you can get Obers. An AI upgrade for Volks isn't needed then IMO. Right now, Volks Kars deal 8 10 damage per hit = 10 8 hits to kill a model. 14 damage = 6 hits to kill one model. For comparison: Cons rifles deal 16 damage per hit = 5 hits to kill one model. Same goes for Grens. M1 Garands deal 8 damage per hit. The StG has a fairly good weapon profile and Volks are fine at longer ranges, the point of getting 2 StG's + cold protection would be to give your Volks more firepower while also giving them the ability to be used in blizzard for sneaking. Really any sort of AI upgrade would be good, just getting better KAR's seems silly when the OKW focused very heavily on widespread use of automatic weaponry, which should be better reflected in game.

Thread: The Mortar Thread10 Apr 2015, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 21:22 PMJHeartless Cool. Maybe you can show me a replay of you using it well in 1v1. Getting say 20+ Kills which is pretty common for Osts. Its bad. If the accuracy was 300% Better then your point would be fair. But its not. Even having less accuracy the ability to fire 3 more shells means it will get more kills and thus be more useful. I dont even know why your debating this lol. Its a pretty well known fact that Osts mortar is fantastic and the Soviets isnt. The Ostheer mortar is good, and the Soviet mortar is also good. This comes from the fact that one is shooting at bigger squads (thus more model kills), and one is shooting at smaller squads (less model kills). While I may not play 1's, Iv never ever found the Soviet mortar to be a bad investment in 2's. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Mortar Thread10 Apr 2015, 21:13 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 21:06 PMJHeartless Oh it is relevant. Because in team games when your talking Balance you can have a Jackson AND a Soviet Player with Mark Vehicle. In ones you dont. In team games having dead weight squads is perfectly ok because the other team member can make it up for you. Things like FHQ will not be seen in 1s. Also the Soviet 82MM in 99% of the games will not be seen. Because its a waste of MP in most cases. Its good enough if you can spam them maybe but for just one 240MP squad....not so much. Where Osts will be seen quite often in fact....because...it just does more in the way of killing things. And the current cover mechanics dont make for a good excuse for it to be so terrible. Because its been this slow to fire since release. Its just the SU76 of Mortars. The only thing worse is the PackHowi or ISG. Whether it's better or worse than the Ostheer 81 is debatable, you say it's worse, I say it's about the same. But by absolutely no means is it terrible, the ISG and Pack Howi are finally useful with suppression. The Soviet mortar is cheap, accurate, and is shooting at smaller squads than it. These things don't translate into "useless". In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: PTRS now OP?10 Apr 2015, 21:08 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 21:01 PMOZtheWiZARD Play some 1v1 and see the potential of OKW units for yourself. I don't need to play 1v1 to know that armored cars don't counter PTRS's. You going to endorse people using SU-85's to counter Jadgtigers next? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should OKW be able to build caches?10 Apr 2015, 21:06 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 20:49 PMNuclear Arbitor that's my point. they have shit tons of mp; if you give them fuel/munitions too it'll be fucking retarded. They have shit tons of MP because they don't have the fuel to spend the MP on other things. While every other faction is making armor your sitting around twiddling your thumbs just pumping out more infantry. Which do you think it least cancerous? OKW being able to get some more armor, or the continued prevelance of giant hordes of anti-everything infantry that we have now? MP drains are good! And OKW should have more of them. Removing resources penalty and giving ability to build caches would require complete army redesign. Changin units coming out from different biildings., higher tech prices, getting rid off some units as well and moving KT to a commander. Panther will have to go T4, Vet5 will have to go and many more... I don't think that's a good idea. Nobody is saying remove the resource penalty. OKW already can benefit from caches are a reduced rate, this is just asking of they should be allowed to make them instead of relying on Ostheer team mates. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should OKW be able to build caches?10 Apr 2015, 20:35 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 20:28 PMNuclear Arbitor their vehicles being designed (imo poorly) to be scarce. if they had a standard fuel income their shit would all be either dirt cheap or massively overpowered by everyone else's standards. I think the huge MP float is much more OP because it encourages blobbing. I would rather OKW have more options with a blitz truck type system than keep the dumb system we have now that results in mega hordes of infantry In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The Mortar Thread10 Apr 2015, 19:05 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 19:03 PMFaustCostBulletin The Soviet mortar is not more accurate at all. I will say that the barage mode is prety pointless and misleading on the German mortar. The Soviet mortar is more accurate Barrage for Ost mortar: Scatter angle: 9.0 Scatter distance: 7.0 Barrage for Soviet Mortar: Scatter angle: 8.0 Scatter distance: 6.0 Auto fire for Ost Scatter angle: 10.0 Scatter distance: 8.0 Auto fire for Sov: Scatter angle: 8.0 Scatter distance: 8.0 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should OKW be able to build caches?10 Apr 2015, 19:03 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 18:59 PMRMMLz First of all, I appreciate your effort gathering information from community. To answer the OP, absolutely not (unless you remove resource transfer), because of a couple of main reasons: 1. It will add a whole new dimension of balance problems in large games. Even 2v2 double OKW will be unstoppable 2. OKW has a buttload of unspent MP 3. Just imagine buildin 2 caches of muni (400MP which is an Ober squad), then transferring all of that muni to fuel, or vice versa. Here is what will happen in a typical 2v2 double OKW game: each player build 1-2 Muni caches ---> Schreckblob for each ---> Covert to fuel ---> Hello 12 minute mark KT. The MP float is a symptom of OKW not having enough fuel to spend MP on things other than infantry, so what exactly would be the issue if they could spend that MP on making things other than just more hordes of infantry? OKW being able to make more tanks is a good thing, and It would be fine if they removed conversion but added caches, although I still think Opal trucks would make more sense balance wise and thematically as well.
