Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 11:17 AMgbem if a faction is weak and uncompetitive it will have lower winrates across the board... this is reflected by the graph That is actually a hell of a mistake to think like that. Completely irrelevant to balance. Read what the author of those stats wrote about how to interpret them and how specifically it is ill advised to use them for balance purposes. Extremely wrong to use it as a balance argument. Will lead to a lot of bad balance decisions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 10:57 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 10:34 AMgbem OKW needs streamlining not an outright buff... its main issue is that trying to get healing while getting out a good LV is equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot... if that issue were fixed OKW would be pretty nice to play otherwise... I agree that most factions need delicate changes (definition of delicate might be different for many, though) Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 10:34 AMgbem now if anything needs a major rework its the worst performing faction in the game... and that isnt OKW IMO it actually is in 1v1 for sure. But still - you didn't reply how balance in your opinion is connected with winrates. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 10:30 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 09:37 AMgbem ... despite that faction having decent winrate... How does it affect/is it related to balance in your opinion? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes25 Oct 2020, 08:25 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2020, 10:34 AMJibberJabberJobber This is a great idea. Should be implemented. I understand the point of it possibly rising some concerns but imo it is far from revolutionary. Just a good, logical and needed change. Especially because of many relatively new commanders and abilities in USF/UKF rooster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pershing blows - USF Heavy Cavalry23 Oct 2020, 20:22 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Oct 2020, 19:23 PMProtos Angelus And Jagdtiger and Elefant and KT will be supported by either pzgrens or obers or some other elite infantry. Or supported by cheap Stugs or JP4s. The argument doesn't really stand. I don't think U can compare a doctrine AI "heavy" tank to doctrine heavy tank destroyers. Completely different situation. Pershing will be built to primarily deal with 4 men infantry squads and the AT will be provided by other units. Jump back to quoted post23 Oct 2020, 19:23 PMProtos Angelus If you get a pershing and a jackson and infantry with zooks, you can easily lose to 2x shrecks and upgraded infantry. Unless the enemy is braindead and decides to spam P4s vs that. Usually the AT infantry will be cheap echelons while main USF elite/stock infantry will provide AI/snare. It is also a completely different setup imo. Mailine/elite infantry will hold shrecks at bay. This is USF's primary strength plus indirect howies/scotts. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pershing blows - USF Heavy Cavalry23 Oct 2020, 18:04 PM Pershing will most likely be supported by a stock Jackson and infantry that can all be upgraded with bazookas. It is a valid reason why it is as "heavy" as it is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes23 Oct 2020, 17:56 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2020, 12:48 PMJibberJabberJobber Here's some ideas to touch-up underused Ostheer commanders and abilities, let me know what you think. Might do Soviets as well in the future. All great ideas and should be implemented asap. Not much more to add as it is all thoroughly explained in Ur post. What a "professional" post btw In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pershing blows - USF Heavy Cavalry20 Oct 2020, 19:13 PM Anybody remembering about pershing's main strength - ai performance. Might be useful to just remember about it, especially in comparison with panther. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes17 Oct 2020, 16:35 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2020, 14:43 PMthedarkarmadillo I'd assume because the code is already a mess and trying something like that will probably bug out. There is a mortar that can be equipped by one guy - if that is possible... I honestly think it would be a cool faction feature and a balance improvement. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes17 Oct 2020, 13:18 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2020, 12:41 PMSander93 This change was removed because there were several good arguments brought up against it - the most important one being that it would be a nerf as much as a buff, because it would also force players to recrew with 2 models which would make stealing a weapon under fire (when you need 3 models to get away with it a lot of the time) a lot harder. Why not try to code 2 men when the recrewing unit is only down to 3 models? If the unit is 4 or above it could still be 3. In: COH2 Balance
