People, if you want to talk about faction performance, you had ought to specify the gamemode you're talking about. As always, my comments are about faction performance... -in 4v4 This raises the following question. Does anyone think they would ever realistically consider attempting to balance the factions differently across different team modes, so for example a differently balanced USF for 1v1, vs 3v3 or 2v2 etc etc... Or would this just be a really, really bad and confusing idea? Because I've had discussions (arguments) with people about balance where to read it, it looks like one of us or both of us are completely insane... From reading it, you can so tell that one of us only plays 1v1 and the other guy a much larger team mode where you can get away without building x unit, or spamming another one... It's like we're talking about two completely different games sometimes. Does the game just have so many variables that it becomes incredibly difficult to balance it fairly this way? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SOV crew repair rant.31 Oct 2022, 14:38 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2022, 13:21 PMHannibal What I find even funnier is that this ability can almost outrepair the damage of a P4. I remember multiple occasions of either my or a friend's T34 being found out pants down repairing in the back, while the P4 desperately tried to finish it off thinking it were easy prey. These T34s often stopped the whole push if you had an ATG supporting the T34 I think i saw a high level game where someone, possibly Kobal, did something similar to this... except in reverse as he was playing as Ostheer. A badly damaged P4 with an engine crit limps round a corner, the t34 rushes to it to try and finish it off. Only for it to use hull down while some pios frantically repaired it from the back while it dueled the t-34. It ended up winning and basically cancelling out the damage through the hull down and repairs. Genuinely thought he'd misclicked or something at first, didn't know that was possible.

Thread: HM-38 120mm Mortar Squad is OP30 Oct 2022, 09:06 AM Uh oh.... The Bofors thread all over again. No chance of it being locked I suppose? The HM-38 was OP, but it's been nerfed several times now. Guard Motor on the other hand... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Testing various SMG units28 Oct 2022, 16:11 PM Just as an aside. Wouldn't it be great if in COH 3 we can get a centralised wiki with all unit stats that relic actually maintains and keeps up to date? Fabulously optimistic i know. The amount of work and testing that has gone into this stuff just by the community, over the years, is crazy. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Testing various SMG units27 Oct 2022, 09:40 AM Nice one Rumartinez. I'm a fan of IR-STG's but i'm not sure I really get the best out of them when i use them. I suppose their niche is that they are pretty much the one really strong medium/close range unit in the OKW arsenal that can stop elite allied SMG units from closing the distance and forcing you to back up/retreat. The trade off is that it just feels way, way easier to give the Obers their usual LMG and vet them up at long range while bleeding enemy units from a relatively safe distance.... Surprised by the relatively weak performance of rangers. Maybe that's why their bazooka's are so good, as some small form of compensation. In: COH2 Gameplay

Right, sorry i should of been clearer in saying perhaps that was the original idea behind them, before the many many changes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: nerf the fking pathfinder and Howitzer26 Oct 2022, 11:38 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Oct 2022, 01:16 AMdonofsandiego What is a "snowball faction"? If I'm not mistaken, any faction has the possibility of snowballing. Or is this just tacitly admitting that USF can't win unless it snowballs? I am confused. I think it might be that they get big powerspikes out of small advantages, like fast weapon upgrades and light vehicles, if they can leverage them and get them early enough. The tradeoff is that the units fall off quite hard as the game progresses, and that its a rough place to be if you fail to get any sort of advantage in the early game. High risk, high reward.
