Thread: Should the USF AT gun recieve a buff?10 Sep 2015, 13:36 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 13:12 PMGrumpy Make Take Aim a vet 0 ability, give it camo like the raketen, with a bonus to penetration from camo. The camo ability should be restricted to yellow and green cover, as should the camo ability from the raketen. It's inane to have an AT gun cross an open field in "camo". I do like Alex's suggestion to make the AP rounds free with a cooldown. The reason why the Rackten requires camo is that it has 10 less range than all the other AT guns, and thus has a harder time without camo of getting the drop on enemy armor. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is the AVRE OP or do I just think it's OP because...10 Sep 2015, 13:34 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 12:48 PMKatitof We've been there, you have used word "slightly" instead of "considerably" again. Again, max speed is often irrelevant due to pathing making attaining it rare. The AVRE has a distinct mobility advantage because 1. It's not an assault gun and 2. Acceleration > Max speed. Saying such hyperbole is one of the reasons it is hard to take you seriously. Remember its balance, its never personal. They "accidentally" reverted it's AoE at far to the old .05 instead of .3, giving a huge nerf to it's ability to actually kill things in it's blast. It's not hyperbole; it's facts. Also quick reminder Katitof was right before, is right now. Right about what? The Sturmtiger has more max speed but horrible acceleration and pathing meaning in the long run the larger max speed means nothing. Also quick question why would the ST ever be exposed to gun fire? Since it can shoot beyond sight range through obstacles? Surely, its acceleration could be 0 and it would still escape. Because there are lots of open maps and not every enemy player forgets recon and scouting units exist? Never had someone go deep with a Cromwell or T34? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: okw off-maps10 Sep 2015, 13:05 PM A lot of them are buggy, for instance the Airborne Assault SHOULD have an AT strafe but it doesn't. Scavenge Artillery doesn't actually scale with munitions barely at all anymore either. Honestly Relic should rework all off maps to be like the British ones. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the AVRE OP or do I just think it's OP because...10 Sep 2015, 12:44 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 12:25 PMKatitof AVRE is slower then ST. It got better acceleration, but is considerably slower. The AVRE has double the acceleration and only slightly less max speed so no, this isn't remotely true. When your trying to escape or manuver acceleration beats max speed all day every day (due to pathing mostly). And AVRE is limited to 1 while it possible to have multiple ST from tossing grenade to kill crew of your own ST while critical repairs ability active. It's almost like the decrewing mechanic is awful. EDIT: In all reality the ST is a garbage now with the giant nerf to it's AoE profile and the fact it's stuck in the shittiest most buggy commander to ever grace this earth so eh. In: COH2 Balance

Park it behind a building or hedge and watch it outshine the ST all day. This. They also nerfed the hell out of the damage (AoE damage that is) on the ST so it only has slightly larger killing AoE than the AVRE does lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pacific Front10 Sep 2015, 03:30 AM No because it would have to be literally nothing BUT prototype shit in order to compete. I would much rather see Italians or Finns. In: Lobby

Thread: Balance Preview Update 09/08/20159 Sep 2015, 21:12 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2015, 21:05 PMdasheepeh lol @ everyone saying that Tiger will need a spotter. A properly used Tiger has always units around it, and these units are always spotting for it. A vision nerf doesnt change anything! Am i supposed to think "oh, thats balanced and fine this way" everytime i see a Tiger shooting @ me from 45 or 56 range because it has a spotter? The Change wasnt necessary at all! The change was necessary on the Tiger's because neither really had any impact versus simply being able to get a bunch of PIV's, and while this was nice to see less heavies the result of seeing almost no heavies wasn't very well intended. This now gives a dynamic were the Tiger I and Tiger II now have something that makes them unique. It's a move in the right direction IMO, honestly this game suffers sometime from units being way to similar to each other and the resulting overlap causes "optimization syndrome" were if you have a collection of similar units people will only pick the best and none of the others will get used. They removed the +10 range and replaced it with +5 for the Tiger I and the Tiger II's vet is still kinda dumb so there you go (and by dumb I mean having fuckdiculous vet requirements for a tank that comes really late in the game, on top of that the vet isn't even that good with spearhead making the main gun worse in every way).

Which is a lot harder for a faction that isn't drowning in fuel and has no 60 range AT gun. Now that they fixed it for the Tiger I there's no reason why it will be an issue on the Tiger II. In: Lobby
