I'm not disputing that it's harder to counter demo, my point is that the loss is of much greater consequence if you don't happen to sweep the teller, which I think offsets that difference. This leaves the much more relevant issue, which is that both can instant delete full health units. I was a bigger fan of the model capping for demos, and I think the parallel change for the teller would've been nerfing it's damage slightly. Demos are currently useless, is anyone going to tell me that the teller will become useless if it merely reduces a t70 to 20hp rather than killing it? In: COH2 Balance

Yes. or No. ^This I don't see what is so hard to understand about how these things are similar. Fine, they are not the EXACT same issue. They are pretty fucking similar, except in one instance your losing a 70+ fuel investment... In: COH2 Balance

Everybody has to sweep for their vehicles. Losing your engine is enough of a threat that you should sweep regardless, because of mines. Hence the entire point of my argument. The teller will be FAR from useless if it does just 20 fewer damage. A medium tank that gets snared by infantry with 75% health is in danger. A light tank with 20hp left and the same engine crit will be easy to finish. The point is that it will at least take SOMETHING to finish it off. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine27 Nov 2018, 22:32 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2018, 22:15 PMSander93 I literally did exactly that. I rest my case. That was before our conversation, and why then did you decide to quote me in the first place? We disagreed over semantics, essentially agreed over the main point..... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine27 Nov 2018, 22:09 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2018, 21:53 PMSander93 Demos were broken, tellers are arguably not. Still, I think it would be fine to make tellers do a little less damage while perhaps giving heavy engine damage so LV can survive initial impact and possibly escape but will be easily finished off if fausts or any AT is nearby. This would give Allied players at least a chance to save their vehicles and require the Axis players to make an effort for the 1-2 punch rather than letting the teller do all the work. .... Say this in the beginning next time. I had stated numerous times I already thought demos were OP. Telling me that that I was calling for a Teller nerf "just" because of demos when I've been literally been asking everyone to tell me why 380 damage would ruin it is pretty lame. That's about as straightforward of a balance claim as I can make. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine27 Nov 2018, 21:47 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2018, 21:44 PMSander93 Thankfully Tobis explained again what was already explained 3x in this thread just so I didn't have to explain it to you a 5th time. And I will ask you again that where is this "NEED" coming from? You are implying that it is as important to keep every single squad alive as it is a 75 fuel vehicle? If you lost a squad to a 90 muni demo, yeah that was cheesy. But boohoo it's a squad. These are t3 vehicles we're talking about, for 50 muni. Please stop emphasizing the unimportant issue here.

Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine27 Nov 2018, 21:44 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2018, 21:36 PMTobis Deleting random infantry squads has no counter besides blobbing on a sweeper. Not good for gameplay. For the love of Christ, can everyone stop responding to way less important part of my posts? You quoted me and then ignored the only question that mattered there, what would be the tragedy if tellers did 380 vs 400? How exactly would that not "punish me for over-extending"? Still leaves a good chance the tank will die. I will say it again, DEMOS WERE OP. I'm 100% in agreement. Jesus Christ please stop coming at me like I want them back In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine27 Nov 2018, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2018, 21:34 PMinsaneHoshi Yes it took real luck and or vision to know that when that point begun decapping, there was a unit there ready to be blown up. All you had to do too avoid territory point demos was literally not be an idiot and blindly click on territory points to capture. Just had too tell your squad to put 1 or 2 models in it, and you were fine. I still do that so that my opponent doesn't know what type of unit is capping the point.... And let me be VERY clear, I think demos were OP. If you think demos were OP you shouldnt have a problem with nerfing the Tellers damage by a whopping 20. It makes all the sense in the world, and is an incredibly minor overall nerf. I don't see how anyone who isn't super biased could be opposed to that. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine27 Nov 2018, 21:26 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2018, 21:15 PMSander93 I'm not saying that at all, but I'm done explaining. You don't need to explain anything, you have no point. Somehow sending a sweeper around with your infantry is too hard, but keeping a sweeper on pace with a light ****ing tank is totally practical? No, it isn't. Can someone explain what would be so unfair to Ost if it did 380 damage instead of 400? A stolen ptrs could even finish of that tank. In other words, it would require you to have something else in the area to actually kill it. Sound familiar? It should, because the old demo required vision for you to get the wipe (or a hell of a lot of luck).... In: COH2 Balance
