Thread: StuG Idea - Swap TWP for Barrage9 Aug 2015, 22:11 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2015, 20:50 PMelchino7 OKW Puma aimed shot can target any enemy unit except buildings and has differing effects based on target. On penetration (double penetration values of normal shot): Turreted tank: lock turret (15 seconds) Assault gun: stun vehicle same as Ostheer TWP (5 seconds) Light vehicle: engine damage (anything lighter than a t70 more or less, t70 still counts as a tank) Team weapon gunner: temporarily disables weapon (5 seconds+redeploy) Infantry (including team weapon gunners): death crit in 0.5 radius (for comparison grenadier riflegrenade kill radius would be 0.875 on full health models). But unlike riflegrenade this will not take any penalty from green cover. I'm failing to see the buffs. MAYBE it would be good against clumped units, so just remove been able to target infantry. Main gun disable (5-8s) for assault guns should be fine. It would give a good counter to maxim spam and light vehicles, I was just pointing out it has implications outside of turret locking.

Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game9 Aug 2015, 22:10 PM Blobbing as Axis isn't a good idea or feasible in the meta anymore, it's not an argument for the existence of demo charges. Especially since Soviets have a lot of blob counters; OKW doesn't. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: StuG Idea - Swap TWP for Barrage9 Aug 2015, 20:24 PM Remember than Aimed Shot does stuff other than stop tanks turrets from functioning. It would be a buff to the StuG III, not a nerf. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game9 Aug 2015, 20:24 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2015, 19:27 PMAustralian Magic Bugs are part of balance? Then we should nerf Sturmtiger since there is repair bug. So, nerf ST, right? So since B4 cannot 1shot heavies why not give it precision? IT will shoot down only mediums just like ST. Except the ST doesn't cost only MP, it's limited to 1, has 45 range instead of several hundred, and whatnot and so forth. Stop trying to compare apples to oranges. It would be like me trying to compare Sturmpio's to a KV8 because both do good infantry damage. Just get rid of the repair bug, problem solved. But if you think the Sturmtiger is "broken" on the level of the old B4 your nuts. Since literally every match people would go B4, were the Sturmtiger still isn't a popular unit. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game9 Aug 2015, 19:06 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2015, 18:21 PMAustralian Magic So you consider a bug as a argument? And even then, what next? You think you can afford to get double triple B4 (except 4v4). Can B4 and Sturmtiger wipe entire army? Yes. Kill mediums? Yes. Shoot form Fog? Yes. Counter them with 2 clicks? Only B4. Reaviling position after first shot? Only B4 (immobile). Precision strike? Only Sturmtiger. Free precision strike? Only Sturmtiger. And again dont use bugs /bad design as an argument. Bug's are a part of balance so long as they are in the game, the B4 decrewing thing has been around since the commander has been out so at this point it's just "a feature". The old B4 was broken because it could 1 shot heavies at any range on the map, while the only thing the Sturmtiger can 1 shot is tanks with 640 health or less at a range of 45 or less. I'm not saying the Sturmtiger is fine, but it's not nearly as abusive as the old B4 and I'm tired of people constantly trying to compare some mildly powerful unit to one of the most broken things in the game because they are bitter. I support the Sturmtiger becoming a true artillery unit, it would give OKW something it desperately needs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why Tank Spam Is Not Inherently A Bad Thing.9 Aug 2015, 19:02 PM I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying both require micro just of different natures. You can't play defensively as OKW because you will get raped by artillery. Really the only very non-micro intensive faction is Soviets but that's because their infantry don't require as much micro thanks to larger squad sizes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Tank Spam Is Not Inherently A Bad Thing.9 Aug 2015, 18:18 PM A medium loss for most factions is a set back, a medium loss for OKW is a game loss. Like every faction has it's own micro challenges; USF: Aggressive play, keeping units attacking through smart use of smoke and grenades. Very reliant on combined arms between infantry and tanks. OKW: Early game aggressive, mid game defensive, late game aggressive. Relies on microing a very large amount of infantry unit's in support for a small handful of tanks. Must use ability such as salvage and conversion to stay in the game. Ostheer: Combined arms from beginning to end, you have to use support weapons to make up for your lack of elite infantry and the fragility of your mainline infantry. Large emphasis placed on unit preservation. Soviets: Aggressive play using area denial from high explosive ordinance to hold territory. Focus's on easy to keep around squads that can stay out in the field longer than the enemies. Very ability based. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to bring back the LT from the dead9 Aug 2015, 16:58 PM LT will be dead as long as the tier that you can get for almost exactly the same price gives you a light tank instead of a light vehicle. It would be like if OKW Mech HQ gave you the Luchs; nobody would go medics to start ever again. USF teching should be liner, OKW teching should be liner, hail satan. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game9 Aug 2015, 16:54 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2015, 12:40 PMKatitof Actually, AVRE is most balanced out of them all because of range and aim time. Anyway, I see this thread have gathered crapload of hypocrites who QQ about stuff like B4 or ISU but yet consider Sturm to be fine. Double standards much? ISU has more armor, longer range, and can sight for itself. The B4 cost literally only 3 popcap, had at vet 1 100% accuracy over the entire map, and could do upwards of enough damage to 1 shot a Elefant or Tiger. Comparing the old B4 and the Sturmtiger is just silly. Oh and the ISU doesn't have abandon chances on reload. The AVRE has better armor, speed, and health than the Sturmtiger while having reload on the move, target tracking and of course a turret. The only thing it didn't have was 45-50 range; it just had 40. Which wasn't much of an issue since you couldn't run away anyway since it didn't need to stop to fire. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why Tank Spam Is Not Inherently A Bad Thing.9 Aug 2015, 16:49 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2015, 15:20 PMDustBucket Did you read the section about how spam increases micro consumption? I'm mainly an axis faction player and I've been playing this game since it was released, So i feel like even though i am not a top tier player i have something to add. One strong unit with less micro consumption is about as brainless as spamming several weaker units with higher micro consumption. I agree totally with the OP. What exactly is the point of playing an RTS game if everybody wants to only play one faction? especially in a game like COH2 where one side has to be axis and the other side has to allies? Both factions need their own unique tools to deal with each other, I would probably quit playing this beautiful game if it turned into another boring as hell SC2 clone where all armies are just different looking versions of one another. long live asymmetrical balance. P.S i know you catch quite a bit of flak from those goofs queen and kait and i want you to know i'm just trying to have a civil conversation. When your outnumbered and facing a lot of DPS with fragile units you have to use a LOT of micro. It's a different type of micro, but it's micro none the less. What the OP is talking about is macro; controlling a large force of units as opposed to a small one. Let me give you an example, when your OKW PIV hits the field it will be facing a large amount of AT which means you need to be on the ball with reversing it and moving it around the field. It represents a very large investment which means it's loss is a big one. When you dealing with cheap spammable units one loss isn't a huge deal. "spam" such as maxim spam, SU-76 spam, and whatnot is brainless because it relies on simply overwhelming your enemy through the shear impact of so much suppression/DPS in the case of maxim spam or barrage + AT in the case of the SU-76. When countered both these things fall apart and almost always result in a loss for the executing player; but countering them requires far more skill than executing them does. Thank you for the civil conversation In: COH2 Balance
