Thread: Command Panther23 Mar 2015, 22:57 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2015, 22:00 PMImagelessbean I addressed this comment directly in the first post. Vet 5 should not be an all out win option. In which case just have a button unlock when it hits vet 5 that let's you win the game outright. Alex, I don't feel it necessary to address your comments because you have not made reasonable arguments. What do you mean? The Command Panther's mark target ability doesn't last as long and as far as we know only increases the damage taken by the tank by a marginal amount more than the Soviet version. The C-Panthers biggest benefit is the sight bonus it gives to your tanks, but many people are discounting the fact you can only have 1, and it can't be everywhere all the time. As far as "OP"ness goes it's not at all, it's a Panther that doesn't scale like a regular one in exchange for the Aura it has. At only 30 less fuel than the IS2 and in a fuel starved faction the C-Panther is fine cost wise, really the only thing it might possibly need is removal of the overclock ability which allows it to slip away and kite very easy. EDIT: In addition to the accuracy being different; it also has a longer reload time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Turn I&R Pathfinders to Snipers?23 Mar 2015, 22:52 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2015, 21:39 PMBrachiaraidos Yes, that was my point. I was aiming to have JLI's health max toned down, however, to reflect their current DPS and to avoid overlap with dedicated 'snipers'. It was only a thought experiment anyway, but I'd sure prefer it. Pathfinders just need some help, JLI are fine as they are now. In: Lobby
Thread: Paratrooper Thompson23 Mar 2015, 21:06 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2015, 20:59 PMcomm_ash No, they have 3 ppsh and 3 SVT. No armor or real DPS, so they aren't very good. Well technically the 3 SVT's give them better DPS over range than Shocks; but this makes one wonder why regular guards don't have SVT's. Technically 3 Guards with SVT's + 3 with PPsH = More DPS than guards at every range except when regular ones get their 2 DP's. EDIT: And no squads except shocks have armor anymore. In: Lobby
Thread: Turn I&R Pathfinders to Snipers?23 Mar 2015, 20:58 PM Pathfinders and JLI become light combat squads than can crit a model with a reasonably long cooldown at ~40% health or less. This is already what we have, Pathfinders can do it at 40% with two rifles, JLI at 80% with one. In: Lobby
Thread: Command Panther23 Mar 2015, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2015, 20:02 PMbraciszek receieved_damage_modifier value: 1.5 "Vehicle receives more damage from attacking forces" -It was great at taking out a pesky IS-2 call-in meta player my OKW game earlier today. Mark Target Value is 1.35 Both same price and duration length "lol" Once again you proved you have no idea about game mechanic yet still you think you have. The Command Panther mark target is only usable by targets within it's range and doesn't provide sight like the Soviet mark target. The Soviet one is a global ability that you can use anywhere if any of your units see a tank. The Command Panther also is limited to one, which is also pretty significant as well. It would be nice if the exact values of ability's were listed somewhere like unit stats were because the ability only describes the marked target taking increased fire. Nonsense! It continues to be a panther, a good tank to begin with, which importanly spots for itself, a massive boon in the tank combat department when you out range most opponents. As it vets up (which is slow), other armour can be arriving, which it will then start to give delicious buffs to, meaning your army scales better even if the command panther does not get much more punchy on its own. In 2v2 and above the effect of it buffing allies is just downright fantastic. And then at vet 5 it's a map wide super buff to all your infantry and support weapons, too, which is pretty much GG The point remains that it doesn't scale as well, it's Vet bonus's focus on making the units around it better not the unit itself. The Command Panther also comes in later than the regular one does so it has less time to get better. Yes it's still a Panther, but a regular Panther is not some uncounterable god, it's just a Tank Hunter with 800 health. In: COH2 Balance

In the end you get Shocks - amazing close combat unit and Assault grens - pure pudding without good dps at any range. Assault Guards use 6 PPsH. They also have a better nade than Shocks. In: Lobby
Thread: Command Panther23 Mar 2015, 19:12 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2015, 18:55 PMKatitof Only thing about command panther is it have CHEAPER and BETTER mark target then soviet mark target, so you get panther with aura AND mark target for the cost of 1 ability slot. #relicbalance Other than the fact it only increases accuracy against the tank, and nothing else? They are nothing alike. lol In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Turn I&R Pathfinders to Snipers?23 Mar 2015, 19:10 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2015, 18:56 PMKatitof No, I'm saying they are. Just like IR pathfinders or pathfinders. And yet there is a huge disproportion in the actual performance. JLI are not just like Pathfinders and IR Pathfinders; at all. All they have is the sniping ability and same cost. JLI are specifically anti infantry squads, they don't get cloak till Vet 1 and they are special abilities to cap and sabotage points. In: Lobby
Thread: Command Panther23 Mar 2015, 18:45 PM This rule does not apply to OKW. Terror officer, buffs and very good at max range. Command Panther - Panther on steroids. Uhhh the Command Panther is literally the exact same as the Regular Panther but with different vet bonus's. The Terror Officer also can cause your infantry to get instantly retreated, which is why only idiots use it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Command Panther23 Mar 2015, 18:42 PM The Command Panther's vet bonus's are mostly Aura based meaning it doesn't scale as well as the regular Panther while costing more. In: COH2 Balance
