It has the best mines and is a decent early game infantry unit as long as you use it in a way similar to grens. But, above all, it is the best tank doctor in game (this due to its price with all the repair stats of more expensive enigies) In: COH2 Balance

It is not the weakest! It is the best in game engineer, largely due to its price. In: COH2 Balance

To prove his point that CE aren't effective after losing 90% of the map is to game the matchup by retreat path blobbing around his minesweeper. A good way to use quarantine But honestly imo the real thing is not their combat stats. What a lot of people don't see is the fact that you have access to 170mp unit that can support vehicles with mines, sweepers, repairs, and that makes the game imbalanced. Of course, slightly. But the last tournament proved exactly that. Soviets could repair their damaged IS2s and other stuff so much more easily by using double CEs plus other repair abilities. OKW, for example, was far behind with buying 300mp sturmpios trying to repair their panthers and no extra repair abilities. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Caches for OKW30 Mar 2020, 00:18 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2020, 21:49 PMShadowLinkX37 Agree here. The issue is more every cache effects every team member instead of just the player planting it. That exactly seems to be the real problem In: COH2 Balance

In 1v1 they are ok. You decide to give up some battlefield presence in favour of having slightly more resources later on. Cool risk/reward feature. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Caches for OKW29 Mar 2020, 20:10 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2020, 20:05 PMelchino7 My suggestion would be to let either T1 or T2 have an upgrade which would let them "turn" into a kind of cache. It would require it to be on a strat point and for starters it wouldn't provide resources to teammates (just like Opel). I'd generally allow all their trucks to have some upgrade button making them generate x1.5 resources from a given point (cost 100-200mp) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Suggestion: sight options for Ostheer and USF29 Mar 2020, 19:47 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2020, 17:45 PMKurobane A munition upgrade wouldnt be bad but it would be better to have it upfront (or unlocked at a later Tier) yep - later tiers could open it. I like upgrades, though. They make you invest and lead to dillemas which are 'entertainment friendly'. Should I invest in upgrades? What if I lose the unit that I invested so much into? Maybe better to save ammo for sth else? etc. That's why I would be very ok with tanks or lights having a lot of non mutually exclusive upgrades. Why not pay extra to upgrade a unit with smoke? add mg? add extra front armour? spotting scopes? etc. I would be ok with all of this on one unit as a muni sink. If each costs say 50 munitions, it would lead to a really cool risk-reward dynamics. Ok - maybe it is just me. In: COH2 Balance

I think they should be a little bit more badass considering their actual roles. True. I guess that was the idea behind sturmpios for OKW. The result is imo a high level of cheese. I'm still curious what would be the result of sturmpio vs panzergren duel. But UKF also got a really cool engineer unit, and blatantly too cheap for what they do, and how they can be upgraded. Their engies price should go up (10mp more is just funny) I see engineers primarily as healing units for vehicles. To make game sensible they shouldn't be better than mainline infantry, or maybe then they should lose some of those engineering abilities. In: COH2 Balance
