Thread: Balance 2018 2vs211 Apr 2018, 07:30 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2018, 18:41 PMblvckdream - ISG too bad, just a horrendous unit and a complete lauging stock compared to Ost mortar. Compared to Ost mortar everything is a laughing stock (except maybe USF halftrack). ISG is okay, just OKW in general are in a weird spot In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance 2018 2vs210 Apr 2018, 11:23 AM If you want to take away double upgrade, then take away the need to upgrade weapons rack and just allow squad upgrade the weapon in the field just for muni, just like ANY other Axis infantry In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Penetration system27 Mar 2018, 14:42 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2018, 14:32 PMJohnSmith It is indeed 50/50, one large hitbox made out of two hitboxes, here's a drawing to help you to better understand the front/rear armor. A vehicle's side armour is split into one "front" part and one "rear" part; by using the attack ground command when attacking enemy tanks and aiming at the rear part of the side armour, you will score a rear armour hit with a higher chance of penetrating. Source: https://www.coh2.org/guides/31462/tips-and-tricks-for-newbies However, I am uncertain if the size of the rear/front hitbox differs in distribution with larger units (e.g elephant with 75/25 front/armor), but I always go clearly for the bits that are visually the back than attacking from the sides. Thank you very much! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Penetration system27 Mar 2018, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2018, 09:58 AMJohnSmith Keep in mind that tanks are merely divided into front/back armor and that side hits may either count as front hit or back hit, depending on where exactly the shell hits. Is there a more detail on how side armor hit registers either as front or rear? Random black box? 50/50? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Penetration system27 Mar 2018, 09:51 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2018, 09:48 AMJohnSmith Here's also a very good, well written and clear thread from a very well respected user about other game mechanics which you might find interesting: https://www.coh2.org/topic/36347/cruzz-s-the-more-you-know However, some values indicated in thread might be a bit off due to recent balance changes. Additionally the Guides section on this page is most comprehensive: https://www.coh2.org/guides/categories Thanks! Although I looked into that thread beforehand and found only 'penetration chance are capped at 1' but the exact relation of armor and penetration remained unclear. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Penetration system27 Mar 2018, 09:12 AM I decided to look up exact penetration values and armor values and got a bit confused: if armor value is above the penetration value, some kind of probability applies? Because I am sure I saw shots penetrate where they should not have and I don't think veterancy bonuses change much. What if penetration value and armor are the same? Panther has 240 pen and Churchill has 240 frontal armor, for example Where does one look up this penetration probability then? stats.coh2.hu doesn't seem to have such info In: COH2 Gameplay
