Well you could change the stats on it in regards to it's scatter, but it actually had it's rocket amount reduced before the changes to artillery. Or they could up the health and armor on it to make it jive better as a extreme close range artillery piece, but it seems kind of a self contradiction no? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Panzerwerfer: Truly Underpowered20 Mar 2015, 00:30 AM The fix here is fairly simple, reduce the price or what tier it comes in, or just revert the rockets it fires back to the original amount. In: COH2 Balance

Of course you can shoot but it requires action. Jackson wont do it itself. With katy you can react between volleys so its not wiping like werfer. You can retreat or try soft retreat. With werfer you dont have time to react. Full wipe or miss cause blob moved. Recently Im seeing many blobber who are taking points with whole blob. Pure paradise for katy. Just this damn T4.. You have plenty of time to move out of the way of the werf due to the extra bullshit it has to go through. Think about it for a second, you are going through much MUCH more effort to use a pwerf than a stuka. 1. First have to clear the area of enemies 2. Set of defensive line 3. Position the HT 4. stop the enemy some way or keep him still in some way 5. fire 6. hope he doesn't move The cone of effect on the barrage at close range allows it to hit, but only in that area. If you use it farther away you won't hit anything, if you use it close you need to pin the enemy down because your area of effect won't be big enough to catch him if he moves a little bit.

Relic follows the "nerf and buff" formula of balancing, so you would probably be correct. Blizzard long ago proved that said method was ineffective, it's much better to buff the counter to the unit than to nerf the unit itself, as you run the risk with nerfing of making units unviable.

You dont need shot blocker - smoke. Katy or Stuka wont provide such wiping power, but can be used at distance. On the minimum range werfer is the Best one but its really hard to get so close. Just right now we had inside clan game. I made werfer. 3 squads of Rifles just vanished but its really rare to use it on that range. Yet the biggest problem is T4 which is completly useless cause of tech prices. Uh, you can shoot through smoke you know that right? The Katyusha can easily wipe squads just like the Stuka, both have good AoE on the rockets and you can reasonably target were those rockets can go at mid range. But the werfer doesn't have any less scatter at close than the Katyusha, by the way. I agree, honestly the Werf needs an improvement or needs to be moved to T3 like it originally wise.

Thread: OST Panzerwerfer: Truly Underpowered20 Mar 2015, 00:11 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2015, 00:03 AMAustralian Magic Its the most potent mobile arty but comes with T4 and requires micro while Stuka or katy does not. Get close behind shot blocker or smoke area ahead, shot at blob, blob will vanish. What? Not every map has shot blockers, and the Kat and Pwerf have horrible acceleration and pathing leading to both being very difficult to keep alive in very close quarters. Not to mention the rockets don't hit instantly either, and to hit something you need to get right up close and reduce the scatter on it, meaning you won't be able to hit the entire blob. It's a catch 22 situation, why does a rocket artillery HT need to be right in in front of an enemy to hit it? It's rocket artillery, it should be a medium range unit, not a literal ass sniffing range unit. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OST Panzerwerfer: Truly Underpowered19 Mar 2015, 23:18 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2015, 23:13 PMKatitof Pssst, I have a secret for you It has very poor acceleration, while it does have an okay max speed (only .1 higher than the Kat), if you see something coming you won't be able to move it away in time. It's just waaaaay to risky to use for how much you have to spend to make it, again, if it came in T3 or just had a lower cost there wouldn't be an issue here, but it shouldn't cost more than the Katyusha while just being objectively worse. If your going to make a unit that needs to be very close to be effective, that unit needs to have at least some survivability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Panzerwerfer: Truly Underpowered19 Mar 2015, 23:16 PM The issue is the Werfer costs a lot more, and yes the Stuka does need a bit of a survivability nerf. Problem is even with shotblockers you can get unlucky very easily and lose it, right now it's just not justified in it's performance for the cost. A move to T3 wouldn't be that bad. It may spend less time firing the rockets, but the problem is that your not actually hitting anything with the rockets so the actual damage done is much lesser than that of a Katyusha. Counterbalance is ultimately inferior to precision strike because I KNOW what's at the other end is going to die, with counter barrage you can't chose what your unit attacks, and you don't know if it will kill it or not. The Artillery Field officer does help some, but the Werf shouldn't have to need it to be effective. In: COH2 Balance
