I know that now, and knew of what Swiftsabre mentioned before, which caused me to my mind to be convinced that Smith's line would be misattributed to be considered 40K in spite of my initial guess until I just looked it up and realized it actually was a 40K line.

I think I will say this to my teammates from now on. I just read it's a 40K line. When I first saw it, I thought "Heh, sounds like a 40K line" but assumed my first instinct was wrong.

Thread: Why patch should not overbuff/overnerf units anymore29 Nov 2016, 08:50 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2016, 08:31 AMMr.Smith Bear in mind that we do not want to change too many things at once. Changing everything at once will confuse the playerbase as to what we want them to be testing. This is because a broad mind lacks focus. I dunno, I'm pretty sure women can be focused, judging by all the times' my mother's nagged me. In: COH2 Balance

That's probably a very good thing, but it may take some excellent micro for them to stay alive long enough to pay off their investment. Ain't kiting the easier micro though? "Whoa stuff's getting closer, better reverse". Obviously not game-closing/ruining as the shock lights we know so well (and rushing them into a gap of course had a lot to with being kinda broken), but conceptually it should be simpler, since getting closer would (well, should) mean more risk. For example, an M20 that mostly only dicked around soon after being built gets to do nothing else but lay mines and scout for the remaining 25 minutes while a Puma's still got a pretty good chance to shoot at tanks later and survive it.

In my experiences in game and from countless discussions on these forums are how regardless of vet, grens get gibbed in the lategame because they clump up in cover and while pathing for every shell that comes their way. It's always been about keeping them alive in the late game more than getting them there. Smith already said the mod tools that they are limited to prevents them from solving this by the direct method But if they're mentioning HE Shermans, Pershings, rocket arty, etc. as contributing factors as I'd damn well say they are too, they can fix it by nerfing those!

It smooths out that stupid power spike. And, of course, dulls the pain of vetting PGs against double weapons (Hail elchino7 [Pikachu bias has nothing to do with it]) In: Lobby
Thread: Why patch should not overbuff/overnerf units anymore29 Nov 2016, 01:53 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2016, 01:42 AMskyshark In all honesty, vehicles across the board don't do enough damage to infantry. People whine about squad wipes, but no infantryman in their right mind would stand in the open and let a .50 cal shoot at them (m20, aaht, etc), much less a panther. The scope of the game just can't allow that. In real life - say, the Battle of Kursk - a side might have around 300 infantrymen for every tank - in CoH2, the internal relative resource "worth" (1 MP = 2 Muni, 2 Muni = 1 FU) makes a medium tank similar in cost to no more than around 20 men.
