Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 11 Nov 2019, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2019, 12:52 PMSmartie Isnt that exactly the kind of problem the unit has? It doesnt have a clear role. Its not good enough against infantry compared to a medium /heavy AND doenst have the abilities to (reload times, urrrggh)fight effectively against Jacksons / SU-85. Yes, the panther has good mobility which can be used against SU-85 (but only on maps that allow flanking) but the Jackson has more range AND the same mobility AND costs 40 fuel less. The bigger problem is that axis players need tanks to fight off allied infantry. The panther doesnt give you anything in this department but is very expensive. Building 1-2 mediums and back it up with a Tiger is a lot more attractive than spending my fuel on panthers. Thats why OKW players choose so often Grand offensive and thats the reason why wehr players have Tiger commanders in their load outs. And if wehr players really want to fight off efficiently against allied TDs they build the elephant. So all in all i would like to see a clear role for the panther: Either it should be a pure TD or a good, highly mobile generalist - a better version of the comet. No, the most problematic is cost/efficiency aspect. If it was cheaper and required lees tech, or if other tank destroyers were as expensive, then panther would make sense. Now it is overpriced. Its AI is also problematic as it works only very close range and then it could be satcheled etc. It's meant to be longer range unit. In: COH2 Balance

Stormjäger Best adjustment to a Panther would be to buff its moving accuracy with vet. That way you’ll be able to use it as a mobile brawler. Agreed. Another good way to justify its price and shorter range, which means it has to chase. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 11 Nov 2019, 13:16 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2019, 11:55 AMSmaug The only thing imo jakson needs is a mobility nerf so that it cant straight up bully medium tanks. The firefly has more damage but still the p4 can run away and play around it. The high mobility was justified when jakson had 480hp.. but now that it has full 640 its mobility needs to be toned down. As for the panther I think its as good as it can be..tinkering it more will make it either OP or UP. 960 hp is great(same as pershing) and has great penetration and great mobility. The panther vs is2 debate is rigged imo cos, 1 is2 is doctrinal and 2, panther starts with full 50 range vs is2's 40. The ONLY thing id favour in changing is moving accuracy of the panther cos it misses so much while moving and it needs better accuracy vs 60 range TDs. Agreed with all the above.

Thread: Zis Barrage11 Nov 2019, 09:50 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2019, 09:38 AMMr Carmine I never said sov up. I never cheaper should be equal in preformance. I said sov lack certain things like ost does. You whine about ost suffering more wipes because of lower hp. I countered by saying they have actual nades ai upgrades higher dps or bonus vision to cover that weaknes. Price is not only preformance its also timing esp in the early game. You basically keep mixing imo lots of irrelevant stuff to a discussion on zis barrage. The idea to move it to vet 1 makes a lot of sense and will not tip the overall balance much. It would just make it a tiny bit more even. All the above is connected with the fact that zis got much better at AT duties if you compare it to what it was like when the game was introduced. At the same time pak lost its AT advantage to a large extend and lost the ability to stop vehicles from retreating. It created imbalance when it comes to price/performance values of both units. Zis is very effective (larger crew, good AT performance, ability to deplete health of support weapons and infantry far range; can be combined with merge from cons to make it even more durable). To sum up, you should make it more expensive or, for example, move barrage to vet 1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 11 Nov 2019, 09:25 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2019, 09:08 AMKatitof There is not a single allied unit in this game that panther would have to flank. That is not true. Most heavies regularly bounce panther's shots. Unlike axis heavies which almost never bounce jackson's, Fureflie's or SU85's shots. On top of that all the above are 60 range and are much cheaper (panther is 50 range and much more expensive). They also have abilities that help them even further like focus sight from su85, tulips on firefly, and self repairs plus extra shot on Jackson and better moving accuracy. They also get much better AT abilities with vet. Panther basically can be kited by them and must rush forwards exposing itself to AT fire. They can stay out of range. Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2019, 09:08 AMKatitof In case you don't know, allies do not have anything like jagdtiger or elephant, which are pretty much iprevious from the front to any tank or TD. What about isu152, kv series (especially with hull down), or is2? Different types of Churchill's, etc. Some of them are very good at both at and ai. Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2019, 09:08 AMKatitof And you need only some infantry AT units and an AT gun and can be sure no allied TD is allowed to snipe anything without risk to it.... you only need sight and can push into enemy line without having to risk anything with 60 range ATG with stun shots. Not true. The only stock axis unit that is even here is jagdanzer with 60range. The rest will be outranged by tank destroyers that can sit relatively safely behind lines and deal damage.

Thread: reworking TD and giving them a role 11 Nov 2019, 09:08 AM I stand by my point. Stug should be 60 range. Everything should be much better balanced then. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Thoughts on World Championship 2019 so far?10 Nov 2019, 18:52 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2019, 18:48 PMJibberJabberJobber Just slightly revamp T3/T4 cost: T3 tech: 105 fuel T3 building: 0 fuel T4 tech: 35 fuel T4 building: 0 fuel Going straight for T3 would cost the same as now, as would going straight to T4, but going for T3 first then T4 would be slightly more affordable. This would make T3 into T4 more affordable in 1v1, but keep the same balance in 2v2 (where T3 is often skipped). Some doctrinal options would need their timing/performance adjusted, like Stug E and Puma. I'd rather reduce the cost of the panther and brumbar. But Your option would also make sense - I just feel that ppl seeing no fuel for something Wehr gets might go really wild. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on World Championship 2019 so far?10 Nov 2019, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2019, 18:34 PMAerohank Stug vs IS-2 is like trying to kill a Tiger with SU76s. You can do it, and the stug will be more successful than the su76, but there are better tools for the job. True. Yet they should be in tier 4 and they are not. Now it is only call ins (tiger) you could rely on plus tier 3. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Zis Barrage10 Nov 2019, 17:53 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2019, 17:39 PMMr Carmine Take off the axis up poor 4 men glasses. Stop ignoring the lack of potent nades ai upgrades and mostly lower dps on sov non doc. You have glasses - not me. I play Soviets. Do you play ostheer? You don't connect price with performance, and just expect cheaper squads to deal equal damage to more expensive ones. You ignore facts, not me. Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2019, 17:39 PMMr Carmine Moving it to vet is gutting it. What is supposed to happen to tracking? And unlike you claim zis is wiped as often as the pak. Meaning reearning the barrage takes every time. Severely happering bleed potential on the sov side. You are simply wrong. More men crewing it means they are less likely to wipe. Consript merge ability also makes it less likely to get wiped. Barrage that can fend off infantry makes them less likely to get wiped. What is there to not understand? You keep negating facts. That is trolling - the thing you accused me of. Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2019, 17:39 PMMr Carmine Twp was nerfed because it garanteed a kill on mediums and below if a pak was supported by any other at source, by stunlocking them in place infront of the at sources. For a small muni fee to garatee a kill on a medium is op. I know why it was nefed. But this was the moment when paks and stugs became much less potent. Pak became a standard AT in the game. The nerf to pak should have been connected with adjusting all AT guns across the board. Of course allied fanboys don't like the idea of touching their armies and derail the game balance. The worst part is that you keep ignoring basic facts. Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2019, 17:39 PMMr Carmine Tracking and barrage dont garantee a wipe in the slightest there for not op. You are wrong. They depleate health so much that often they guarantee a kill. If you shoot close range at a support weapon (could be a pak) that is not full health you are very likely to kill it.
