Thread: Upcoming Comander Update - Wishes23 Feb 2021, 20:35 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2021, 17:07 PMVipper I agree and it is nice to see that my suggestions from 2018 are being suggested by other people. Lol Please rework command p4. Make it a better combat unit with timed command abilities. A shitty combat unit that has one gimmick isn't fun to play with or against imo In: Lobby
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback21 Feb 2021, 20:22 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2021, 07:08 AMthedarkarmadillo It goes on but I don't need to explain it to you. Like I said, a polish patch would be fantastic and a hope for coh3 is not needing to go to a 3rd party site to know what stuff does The veterancy descriptions are the worst offenders. I forgot which squads have it in their vet descriptions but some of them say that the squad gains "improved weapon control when under fire". That's not even a stat, and it's super misleading to newer players In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback20 Feb 2021, 16:51 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2021, 15:42 PMthedarkarmadillo The game is horrible at giving information to the players. I'd love to see a clean up patch that allows for some more polish. A symbol for units that get shared vet would be phenomenal at the very least Agreed, although it's probably because of how often things change. Even with that though some of the descriptions are still inexcusably bad In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback11 Feb 2021, 23:05 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 22:29 PMVipper It seems and so far the only thing I have objected is the extra range. The range fits the ability and it's just a better but temporary version of what it already has live. Which is the point Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 22:29 PMVipper If you have problem with penetration it is actually indifferent to me. Why? That's the part of the ability that is totally unrelated to the original vet 1 bonus. AND it's the part that is actually without explanation In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback11 Feb 2021, 22:11 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 21:37 PMVipper Changing the vet 1 ability from passive to active fine (not necessary imo but fine) and the extra damage and penetration are already good bonuses. Having a +7 range bonus is simply uncalled for and no justification is provide for it. It seems more of leftover of the passive than a well though decision that serves a purpose. There are several other bonuses provided to HMG by active abilities that have been tested and work. There is nothing to justify this experimental extra range bonus that has the potential to cause several issues like making vicker harder to flank and able to fire on other hmg and even bunkers with impunity, while out ranging light vehicles like the 222 and FHT by large margin. So it really seems like the only thing we disagree on is which bonus needs to go? Cause I think the pen bonus is what doesn't make sense. Many other MGs with pen bonus abilities have that as the defining trait of the ability, not as an extra which is what this feels like "Take-aim" doesn't seem to have anything to do with vehicles, and the vet 1 bonus was never about that either. If they remove it I just feel that the options for dealing with a Vickers are good enough even with it's new ability Mortar smoke improving, indirect accessibility improving for okw. Those + remove the soft AT component of the ability and I think it's fine In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback11 Feb 2021, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 20:30 PMVipper No it does not take allot of effort, one simply uses a unit to spot for the HMG and pushes a button and then is able to cover more area than other HMGs and fire at longer range (7 extra range is not "just" outside of range it significant distance in game). The ability makes the HMG bother better being used both in defense and in even in attack. It doesn't take much effort to stop this, especially with mortar smoke finally being fixed Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 20:30 PMVipper The extra no other HMG gets Because they get something else...? Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 20:30 PMVipper and there is no actual reason given to explain why it is given. "The passive bonus of the Vickers is being changed into a timed ability. This should allow the Vickers's veterancy 1 ability be more useful in the majority of situation." Vet 1 bonus was too limited, so they changed it In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback11 Feb 2021, 19:05 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2021, 08:54 AMVipper There is little reason for an HMG to have 52 range and to experiment with something it has the potential to create more problem than it will solve. Asking you to provide reasons for your argument is not picking a fight. It's holding you to the same standard that everybody on this forum is "Has the potential to create more problem" is the most specific you've gotten about how this ability is going to be unfair. If they just remove the pen bonus from it, then none of things that you would use to force off the Vickers are effected by the ability, and it should be fine In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback11 Feb 2021, 00:43 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 23:46 PMShadowLinkX37 The problem with "just buy a mortar" is the opposing brit player doesn't have to do that. So he gets another section or something else because the MG can both dislodge other MGs AND doesn't have to spend manpower elsewhere. Similar problem with the zis barrage. Yeah it's an AT gun but it can also just get rid of MG teams because it's a "field gun". Even though soviets have a perfectly fine mortar. At a cost? Sure, but if it makes your opponent retreat and you get territory for it it's all worth it. I do feel the ZiS barrage is even more useful than this ability though. And easier to use. Like I agree the stats of the ability are very very good, I just believe the requirements for using it are a good balancing mechanism Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 23:46 PMShadowLinkX37 Really am trying not to sound elitist right here but you should try paths (probably I&R paths) against OST players. When they go MG42 opener which basically is 90% of all games it just invalidates the MG because your troops can see it basically all the time. And it's "balanced" you could say because paths otherwise are pretty meh alone in combat and airborne ones are just in need of help and the doctrines are meh etc. It is really is frustrating to have the backbone of your OST comp just not function because of a single unit. I use paths from airborne frequently in team games. They are super useful and very underrated. If this is about scouting then aren't pyro tommies the problem? I see your point clearly but I don't get why it shows the new ability is an issue. Like I don't think pyro tommies needed smoke tbh which sort of relates to this situation Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 23:46 PMShadowLinkX37 Lastly I never liked the "Well MG damage doesn't matter because MGs shouldn't fight MGs for long periods of time" arguement. Yeah in a perfect world everyone has mortars in their comp and has flanking infantry and smoke etc, but it's no secret that in teamgames when you're holding a garrison and your opponent is holding the other, damage is what matters, and the vickers is no slouch in that. That's valid but it's also kinda why I think the ability is fine. This is just giving the vickers a better version of what it already does The pen bonus doesn't make any sense to me though. That seems completely unnecessary. Like lights should able to run up and get behind the Vickers easily while it's using the ability. Brits are okay against LVs now I don't think they need more soft AT In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback10 Feb 2021, 23:04 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 22:23 PMVipper Yes and thus moving them from CP 1 to CP 0 would be a minor buff that would make getting early osttruppen squad worth while, so I am not sure why you objecting to it. Maybe because they already get a free squad from the beginning that has sandbags? And can build the best defensive MG in the entire game from their HQ? They don't need more help defending. At any stage of the game In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback10 Feb 2021, 22:58 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 22:29 PMVipper You have to katitof about that according to who: Or you could just answer the questions people have been asking you. You still haven't given any justification for why a Vickers shouldn't be able to temporarily outrange other MGs for a cost... In: COH2 Balance
