Thread: OKW + USF new air offmap overpriced14 Dec 2015, 23:40 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2015, 22:56 PMcomm_ash I'm fine with it doing damage and costing more, but it is just too inconsistent for its price for my taste. I launched 3 strafes across a game onto a pair of ostheer mortars. The first time it pinned them and killed 2 models on one squad. The second time it didn't do anything (maybe because they started packing up to retreat), and the third time it wiped one of them and killed two models on the other. The stuka at strafe does about as consistent AI damage, as well as AT damage and is cheaper, so I cannot see why the p47 strafe can't go down to 100 mu to better reflect it's power. Well, it's probadly too much RNG yeah, should lower it's price. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What happened to the M8 Scott?13 Dec 2015, 03:26 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2015, 03:12 AMSpaceHamster This unit is on extinction levels of ever being seen. I remember scott meta being popular but now... they just all disappeared Using it myself, I rather get a sherman if I had 30 more fuel. So is it the price or is its performance just terrible over all right now? It lacks Area of effect imo, even when vetted it lacks a certain oomph! comparing it to the sherman, which can whipe squads who are damaged reliable. It's not even that punishing to blobbers because the area damage is so tiny. Sure people say get 2 but that's way too big an investment vs the new OKW. Not to mention how hard it gets countered by the JT and pak43. Anyway, when I choose the persing doc i always rush the scott so you can still get the pershing out at 13 cp without delaying it by spending too much fuel. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Do you prefer the "new" OKW or the "original" OKW?13 Dec 2015, 02:46 AM I love the current OKW, it should stay like this. Though I'm kinda jelous of all the options OKW now has, from indirect fire to a heavy tank non docternal. USF feels so moderate stock wise, it really depends on doctrine choice how strong you are.

Thread: Luchs11 Dec 2015, 18:30 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2015, 00:21 AMLemonJuice theres several trade offs for going mechanized, the most important being you lose healing until you get vet 1 sturms or vet 3 volks. losing healing is actually a pretty big deal since its harder for you to stop manpower bleed. you also kinda devote a lot of resources in vehicles, which are countered by zooks, mines, at guns, guards, etc, so if your investment fails, youre in a really bad spot. also delays obers and mediums. Imo the luch is fine, no problem with it's timing whatsoever. But don't sturms have the healing drop ability? It's actually pretty good now with the 100% resource income. I can actually soft retreat and heal up if I put it close by. I don't really agree about the healing part, but the luch is fine imo. On the luch vs Brits, can't we give Brits both BOFOR and AEC options, not one or the other. Kinda a strange choice for them now. Though the hammer and anvil should remain. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Weak Ostwind11 Dec 2015, 12:18 PM Sure, trade speed for damage and I don't mind. That'll be a nerf imo though, which Ost can't afford. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 150 fuel panzer 4 increase it's penetration. 10 Dec 2015, 22:40 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2015, 22:10 PMAchtAchter Veterancy bonuses are not part of the initial fuel cost in any unit in that game. Veterancy is a reward for you for playing good and keeping your units alive. Otherwise you could easily price a vet 5 JP4 at 200 fuel and vet 3 SU85/Jackson at 180 fuel. Also Riflemen perform like elite infantry on vet 3, yet we don't price them over 300 MP. Well, that makes sense hmm. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 150 fuel panzer 4 increase it's penetration. 10 Dec 2015, 22:06 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2015, 22:02 PMAchtAchter With increasing the price the tank has to be compared to the T34/85 & Ez8, comparing to them its under performing. OKW P4: Cost: 360 mp / 150 Fuel Penetration: 100 / 120 / 130 Scatter: 6.4 AOE: 1.875-0.625 Armour: 234 / 80 Health: 640 T34/85: Cost: 380 mp / 130 Fuel Penetration: 120 / 140 / 160 Scatter: 5.0 AOE: 1.875-0.625 Armour: 160 / 80 Health: 800 Easy8: Cost: 380 mp / 140 Fuel Penetration: 155 / 165 / 175 Scatter: 5.4 AOE:1.5-0.5 Armour: 215 / 95 Health: 720 We see, higher scatter means the gun will miss infantry more often. While the HP means it only sustains 4 shots vs 5 on the t34/85 & ez8. Low penetration means also that it has a hard time penetrating medium tanks (calliopes included). Compared with Armour of the Easy8 there is hardly a difference, especially when you keep in mind the that the Easy8 is considered as the best medium generalist tank in game. Again it's just stating objective stats and comparing them. OKW P4 costs more, but has worse stats. What about Veterancy bonuses though In: COH2 Balance
