Can't return fire with what? An mg42? Mortar will still work. The whole point of MGs is to prevent the target from returning fire. So you flank it with something else or shell it with arty I would like to see that maneuver in practice cause Idk how that would even work. There's a lot of time where the Vickers isn't firing if you're moving it AND using the ability If it was a passive trait no longer tied to garrisons yeah it would be OP as hell. As a timed ability with a forced reload? Don't see how Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 19:15 PMShadowLinkX37 Similar to OST pios or pathfinders just seeing their opponents without your opponent being able to do anything about it. Yeah I think those units are fine? And there are many examples of things those units spot for outranging their target, just not MGs, which aren't meant to fight eachother anyway In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback10 Feb 2021, 18:56 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 18:55 PMVipper For the same reason conscripts do. That makes no sense at all. Soviets don't have bunkers, and CEs don't have sandbags. What on earth are you talking about Ost doesn't need any help defending territory In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback10 Feb 2021, 18:55 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 18:48 PMVipper What is the relevance of an HMG which is direct fire weapon with indirect fire weapons? What is the relevance of your entire argument? You still haven't provided a reason it's not okay for the vickers to temporarily outrange other MGs for a cost In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback10 Feb 2021, 18:50 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2021, 13:07 PMVipper Osttruppen start with sandbags similar to conscripts Pios already have sandbags and ostruppen have bunkers. Why do they also need sandbags? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback10 Feb 2021, 16:08 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 08:54 AMVipper If you have trouble understanding the advantage of extra range (and damage and penetration) I can not really help you. So in other words, you don't have an argument. And dont try to change it now either, you specifically said "outranging the MG" was the problem, and you still haven't given a reason I already said the pen bonus is unnecessary, try to keep up In: COH2 Balance
Thread: An idea regarding OST relief infantry rework10 Feb 2021, 05:53 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2021, 04:33 AMMMX i honestly don't get why people keep bringing this as an argument ad nauseum when it is so obviously flawed. you simply can't play the infantry game without accumulating a substantial amount of model drops - and i mean individual models, not squads - throughout a match or you're doing something wrong. manpower bleed through casualties is real, and both relief inf and rapid conscription are designed to attenuate this to some extent. now it can of course be argued if an unvetted free squad at the 20 min mark is of much use, or if a system like recoup losses (or any other variations of it that have been proposed already) might offer a bit more flexibility, but in essence these ability do have a place in the game. the real issue that plagues both RI and RC imho is that they come too late and may need some adjustment of cost/duration. Applause They can still be rewarding now as long as you time it right before a major engagement that would be happening anyway. Maybe they need to be longer but I think they are already pretty long The skewed commander balance hurts them a bit as well i think, just by the cmdrs they are on If they need something a little more to make the ability more attractive, maybe the "relief squads" could come with a 1-time supply drop ability they can call in on a muni or fuel point. Gives like 25mu or 10 fu. Kinda fits the theme while giving something more In: COH2 Balance

There is no reason for an HMG with 52 range. In other words, yes it still needs to set up first, and yes it still has the same sight range as other MGs... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback9 Feb 2021, 20:56 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2021, 20:54 PMPip "Setting up" is something all MGs already have to do, why does it matter if it has to set up if once it does it can fire upon an opposing MG with no way for that opposing MG to retaliate? I think he's referring to the forced reload. So even after it sets up, it still has to reload before the ability begins Same as AP rounds on other MGs. If an mg42 shredding HTs is okay I don't see how this isn't Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2021, 20:54 PMPip I'm not convinced it WOULD be a problem, but MG->light vehicle is a bit of a different situation than MG->other MG, I think. As I say, I don't think the Vickers being able to do this sounds like that much of a problem, but I'm not sure if there's much in that comparison. Then you're missing the point of the comparison. Of course they're different If being able to kill lights with MGs is fine (which I think it is) outranging other MGs with an MG is really not that special... Their difference is the entire point of the comparison I don't understand the pen bonus, but the outranging part isn't a problem at all In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback9 Feb 2021, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2021, 23:32 PMVipper An mg that can fight other hmg but out ranging them is a bad idea... We have MGs that can fight light vehicles, how the hell is this a problem? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Abandon6 Feb 2021, 05:16 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2021, 23:31 PMKatitof "If cars are such transport defining commodity, why weren't they used in 1600?" kind of logic here at work. This analogy isn't logical at all. Abandon is not some huge revolutionary mechanic, it's a small feature that's just dumb enough to be an unfair nuisance Saying it's "series defining" literally contradicts your original point that it's not common enough to be a problem. RNG is still critical to every aspect of the game, don't see how it's valid to think changing/scrapping abandon means we're ruining the game In: Lobby
