UK forward post and US ambulance can reinforce any squad regardless whom player is it. Not really understanding this logic here. There's a massive difference between giving a recieved damage modifier to your teammates during combat, than healing them out of it. And i am only talking about Osts command tank being limited to the controlling player, because of the type of aura. The Opel Cargo trucks used to help your teammates. Then Relic realized that was INSANELY overpowered, so they limited it to just the controlling player. So you can't just say "teamplay" is the reason to keep them. And I'm not forgetting anything about game types btw. Osts command tank saw plenty of use in GCS2, which was a 1v1 tournament. Clearly the unit can still be useful without it buffing 2 or more players worth of units. In: COH2 Gameplay

Well they are both too strong in team games IMO but the fixes are pretty simple. The Command Panther needs to be locked behind the Flak HQ, the fact that it's still a call-in is just silly. As for Ostheer's, all they need to do is make the recieved damage aura only apply to your own units. It's too strong of a bonus to be shared between teammates In: COH2 Gameplay

Or you could just remember that all infiltration units come with stealth, and all stealth squads can hold fire.... Edit: Just saw loopdloop already made this point, kudos Also since when did capping cutoffs or VPs become BS? Doing that with an infiltration squad hardly seems like bs to me In: COH2 Balance

Yeah and at a certain point I feel like you have to either commit to that approach or scrap the idea entirely. The mechanic might not need to be evenly present on all factions, but the counterplay should. In: COH2 Balance

Yeah I get not wanting to outright remove features. I've just always felt this is a really dumb one. Even independently of balance, it's just a silly mechanic IMO. It was one thing when it was just partisans in their old form. Now it's elite troops that upgrade to some good equipment. In: COH2 Balance

But it was deemed OP to use your munitions to defend your flanks from the enemy popping up and wiping your units? This gave me a chuckle In: COH2 Balance

I think that buildings should set aflame in half the time, but take twice the time to burn down. It's unfeasible to keep an engineer with flamer for minutes for a building to catch on flames. 2 nades or a single flame/white phosporous barrage should set a building in fire. Resistance should be based if they are wood/stone buildings with stone requiring a bit more. This would also make me sufficiently happy. Mines in the doorway is my current go-to but that can only do so much. On some maps there's just too many buildings that you'll be spending all your Muni if you try to cover them In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration Troops28 Dec 2018, 09:11 AM I am really surprised by how many people like this mechanic. I know it's a small sample size but I really see it as kinda cheesy. I think it needs to be more balanced out between factions if it's gonna stay. I don't see any reason Pathfinders shouldn't be able to infiltrate when stacked up against the other squads that have the ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration Troops28 Dec 2018, 01:01 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Dec 2018, 00:57 AMVipper The units become available in 2 ways: 1) Able to be built from HQ for the price they have been balanced (with or without tech). 2) Able to spawned but with a high premium and long cool down. These tools could prove enough to "fix" these units while keeping the mechanism. That imo could solve Okay so I definitely should of given a 3rd option of inputting your own changes. This would be fine with me as well. I suppose I went with outright removal because that seemed the easiest way to treat all factions the same. This would do probably do the trick In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration Troops28 Dec 2018, 00:47 AM Plain and simple, I think infiltration is a stupid mechanic for a wide variety of reasons and should be removed from the game for all factions. A few of the reasons: - Destroying buildings is easier for some factions than others - Unit facing/positioning and flanking are very important this game, and this mechanic pretty much just ignores that entirely (spawning squads behind MGs or next to AT guns) - It makes it WAY too easy to harass enemy territory. Cutoffs/resource points are important and should be manuevered to. Not spawned on because the map happens to have buildings nearby I think limiting it to buildings you can see is a pretty reasonable request if removing it from the game is asking too much. Edit: If you disagree, explaining why would be appreciated. Rather than just a drive-by "no" and peacing out In: COH2 Balance
