Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 13 Sep 2020, 18:20 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2020, 14:16 PMthedarkarmadillo That would make it OP and take any learning curve away. Last I checked no other barrage tells you exactly where the shots will land. Not even the single shot b4 says "it's going to hit here fam. Put the thing there for your guaranteed wipe" because that would be bullshit. I guess the dots would only show the aim direction, the rocket would land somewhere around it decided by rng.

And that would actually be sad So must correct myself and say that it was a bad idea. Edit: but U really have no ranked matches with other factions? I don't think they should people discussing balance have to have current rank on every faction but just a decent number of games with all factions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 13 Sep 2020, 12:29 PM ...but that means there could be some dots added to show the centres of those squares. It would be helpful imo and wouldn't really buff the unit. Just indicate where the rockets are targeted - this would make the gameplay experience better even if they don't exactly hit the points (such rng is already sth players are used to). In: COH2 Balance

I didn't know any of that. Maybe those squares could help a bit. I didn't know about the scatter inside the boxes. In: COH2 Balance

Good micro will ensure you get good hits along the line in which you are firing it. The mice consuming is a given. Its harder to use but has the most consistently amongst all of the rocket artillery which is more unpredictable in nature of their design. I specifically don't agree with the highlighted fragment. I think it used to be like that in the past when the unit was overperforming. Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2020, 23:51 PMThe_Flying_Flail Its a creeping barrage and will follow the path you assign to it. If you want the katushya and werfer to be more accurate you will need to get closer to get a more accurate shot similar to the stuka. This seems more like a learn to play issue than anything else. Also, remember there Katushya at VET 1 has a similar creeping barrage effect which is rather lackluster compared to the Stuka and should receive some attention compared to the Stuka in my opinion. You are wrong again. Katusha can pretty much freely bombard retreat points and score a lot of kills max range. It is especially easy as it denies the area for a few good seconds and the player does not need to time it that well. With stuka you not only have to time it better but also predict where the rockets forming the line will be after time spaces between them as they don't fall at the same time but create a line with delays between them. Much more difficult to use effectively. Also the Stuka has lower range than katusha. Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2020, 23:51 PMThe_Flying_Flail Response Regarding OKW Playtime: Just because I haven't played it in a month does not mean I have forgotten how it functions. The Stuka still functions similarly to how it did when it first came out the only difference being is that the damage output has been altered over time due to the nature of balance. Also, there haven't been any major balance changes to the Stuka in particular in the past month making any difference than it was when I last played it. In addition, consider that you could always mess around with the rocket arty and etc in offline custom matches with Ai which I like to do from time to time that will not show up in the leaderboards because it's not a ranked match.You present nothing more than a strawman in this situation. I am against people not playing the faction discussing such factions balance. I believe you should only be allowed to comment stuff like this only if you have a roughly similar number of games with all factions. I believe you are simply wrong here. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 13 Sep 2020, 09:35 AM The idea was to give it circles instead of a line target symbol. (Wow, a great buff). The proposal makes sense as it will lead to less frustration using it. Are people criticizing it really serious? Many matches in recent tourneys (especially 2v2) showed specifically that Stuka scores many fewer kills than other rocket arty (which says a lot, especially if you put it against the background of smaller axis squads). A lot of those misses were because of the spaces and "strange" damage patterns when targeting buildings, infantry, armour within the line of rockets. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?11 Sep 2020, 11:22 AM I, for example, like that they switched it off in the tourney but at the same time I wouldn't like it to be switched off in automatch. It is just fun. I don't mind even losing because of it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 10 Sep 2020, 20:36 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2020, 19:10 PMGachiGasm Not sure if it can be done, but if its barrage ability had a proper circules markers for each rocket instead of a strate line, it possible would make it much userfriendly. Am excellent idea imo. Much more user friendly and, above all, suggesting what to expect which leads to less frustration. Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2020, 19:10 PMGachiGasm Its a common sutiation to miss with it and have an enemy init in between two rockets taking 0 damage, because you wrongly planced its salvo. I have similiar experience - seems that more seasoned players just somehow count the distances from the first rocket but they seem to know how to do that. Still, I've seen top players miss with it a lot (due to those holes between rockets - they rarely draw the line wrong). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?10 Sep 2020, 14:24 PM Preference it is, nothing else. I am personally a fan of all rng mechanics in coh2. It makes the game unique and adds some war-like unpredictability. In: COH2 Gameplay
