Thread: Damn this balance5 Mar 2015, 20:20 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 20:17 PM__deleted__ Talk about exaggeration...the doctrine as a whole is pissweak and obviously needs a rework, but lets not cast the baby out with the bathwather. What exactly about Vet 5 PIV Ausf J is inconstant with the name "Elite Armored". Just make it so it works like the Tiger Ace does for that Ostheer commander. Bam, there you go. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The new factions should be:5 Mar 2015, 20:17 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 20:06 PMCookiezNcreem Idk why people are acting like just because the Japs had weak stuff IRL it couldnt be scaled to be stronger for balance. Like a infantry suicide anti tank stick(Whatver its called) could IMMOBILZE any tank and have 1000 penetration and deal 600 damage. Japanese infantry could have Passive sprint IN AND OUT of combat depending on a commander. Japanese tanks could emphasize infantry support,and could therefor arrive earlier,like armored cars. The Japs would have light vehicle dominance in a way. Bazooka/PTRS/PIAT would be as effective as panzershreks against these early jap tanks,opening up more tech options when playing against them. They could give japs PLENTY of smoke option on their indirect fire pieces to close the distance. They could be the masters of booby trapping,mines,infantry traps,tank traps and roadblocks/defenses/bunkers/tunnels...They dont HAVE to be conventional. and it sure sounds interesting to play against as i type this.. an IS2 isnt gonna do shit against you as a Jap if you use your mines and AT infantry(that can camo??). It CAN be balanced. Realism IS NOT priority in this! Any faction entirely based around infantry and fortifications is just going to get insanely and brutally owned by direct fire. Yeah love to see your little ambush and mines be worth something, to bad I have 132mm rockets that says no. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Damn this balance5 Mar 2015, 20:15 PM Elite Armored should give you 2 Vet 5 Ausf J, they are still bloody PIV's and are countered easily by Jacksons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 20:12 PM Guards are actually better against OKW then Ostheer, since your more likely to be facing light vehicles when dealing with OKW. Ultimately the PTRS is a anti tank rifle and it would make zero sense for it to be effective against non-light armor. Just allow guards to use their PTRS's to shoot through cover, which they were actually historically known to do so. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 20:03 PM All factions should have armored upgrades that cost MP and fuel, this game has way to few upgrades which is why you see the stupid heavy tank meta. What's the point of making a unit when you can't upgrade it to make it better so it has a shelf life of about 5 minutes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Damn this balance5 Mar 2015, 19:59 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 19:47 PMcomm_ash The t34/76 would still be a choice though. You could build it for 310 mp 100 fuel, but wouldn't have to pay tech costs. This would give you a viable target if you decide to go for doctrinal armor, giving you a cheap, spammable medium tank to supplement t4 builds, that will not scale into late game at all. IMO, this should be the way doctrinal armor works. It shouldn't be a straight upgrade over existing units, it should give you access to a unit to supplement you forces (ISU), or give you access to a weaker, but viable replacement to your basic units (t34/76). Also, talking about elite armored, the reason we don't see it used as often is due to the fact that most of OKW's doctrines provide players with game changers like Pak43s and Jagdtigers. Elite armored is not currently one of the best doctrines because it doesnt bring anything new to the battle, it just increases the micro tax on armor, making them more powerful (This is my favorite doctrine for that reason). If the pz4 battlegroup was a choice for ostheer, I can assure you that it would be used more often. Elite Armored is crap. None of the abilities it has are worth a damn and anyone who defends it must not actually ever use it. The Commander artillery is expensive (and awful), and you already are paying for the commander. The repair is expensive AND bugged/broken, the armor detection ability is as useless as the Soviet one, and the Ausf J come in far to late and for 210 fuel which is literally 50 fuel less than a KT which is far more of a game changer. People will always just make the best units, people will never not make the best units. Adding shit units to the game will not encourage people to use shit units. If you gave every faction every unit from every commander the meta would change not one bit except you might see a little less cookie cutterness. If you can make a better unit with out a commander what is the point of taking a commander that gives you worse units. It's why nobody uses Irregulars, it's why Partisans are just a gimmick, and it's why people who use armored company are brain damaged. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 19:44 PM You don't need hand held infantry AT when you have 100 AT guns for every armored vehicle the enemy has. EDIT: Hand held AT was deemed "inefficient" not "ineffective" In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 19:43 PM Just make it so it shoots through cover and Guards actually try and fire it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturm pioneers are overpriced5 Mar 2015, 19:36 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 19:09 PMNapalm Man I can't wait to see the justifications as to why Vet 5 Volks are a good thing for the game. Nobody has actually said this. then what are they? Assault Engineers. They don't build things, they attack enemy troops and repair things Well don't forget that demos can't be used while sweeper is out and close to the demo. Nope, killed many a Sturm squad because they thought Demo's actually worked like mines. In: COH2 Balance
