Thread: Flame Damage Stacking mechanic?10 Aug 2015, 18:39 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2015, 17:19 PMAlexzandvar nice, ty Would still like to see some sort of stacking mechanic to discourage infantry squad neglect with regards to flame weapons. Might help the flame half track find more use. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flame Damage Stacking mechanic?10 Aug 2015, 16:32 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2015, 16:28 PMAlexzandvar Infantry based flamers were buffed, "flame effects" such as the various barrages/artillery were just straight up nerfed. This could work for those that didn't get the increased crit chance or AoE like the infantry flamers did. i was unaware of the infantry flamer buffs. Is this in the change logs? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Tank Spam Is Not Inherently A Bad Thing.9 Aug 2015, 15:20 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2015, 21:50 PMAlexzandvar This method of thinking is somewhat paradoxical considering if you make them cost more you can increase performance. The reason why (normally) Axis tanks a better 1v1 is they cost more, but this isn't always true. For instance IS2 > Tiger, T34/85 > Panzer IV, and so on and so forth. Spam is cheesy as hell and really shouldn't be encouraged, it's essentially brainless. Combined arms should be encouraged, not just making a fuckload of a unit until your enemy can't handle it anymore. Did you read the section about how spam increases micro consumption? I'm mainly an axis faction player and I've been playing this game since it was released, So i feel like even though i am not a top tier player i have something to add. One strong unit with less micro consumption is about as brainless as spamming several weaker units with higher micro consumption. I agree totally with the OP. What exactly is the point of playing an RTS game if everybody wants to only play one faction? especially in a game like COH2 where one side has to be axis and the other side has to allies? Both factions need their own unique tools to deal with each other, I would probably quit playing this beautiful game if it turned into another boring as hell SC2 clone where all armies are just different looking versions of one another. long live asymmetrical balance. P.S i know you catch quite a bit of flak from those goofs queen and kait and i want you to know i'm just trying to have a civil conversation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Boredom-induced USF suggestion7 Aug 2015, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2015, 20:32 PMUlaire Minya If the abilities were free, it would be horribly OP. I envisioned them with muni costs so that you couldn't really spam them without investment. In real life, armies need to build up a surplus of supplies before heavy combat, thus it would make sense to float ~200 muni once you acquire these weapons in order to get the maximum effect during a big push on an axis strongpoint. +1 i like this In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Boredom-induced USF suggestion7 Aug 2015, 20:21 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2015, 18:54 PMNabarxos i love the ideas but really,their abilitys should cost munition??? they already paid for a mediocore weapon and unlocked it with fuel and mp and have other things to use munition(like the AT GUN).they should be free with a reasonable cooldown and give those weapons value for their cost what abilities are free? (very few is the answer i would give). I could be wrong but i can just imagine rifle spam leading to rifle ability spam. Why not give the USF some non doc indirect fire at T0? Btw i did really like the idea for the zooks and bars by the OP. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Boredom-induced USF suggestion7 Aug 2015, 20:18 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2015, 15:23 PMThe Big Red 1 another idea i would like to pitch in is making the MU cost for the smoke grenade ability for the riflemen free because since axis can now pump out MGs a lot faster. concealment is absolutely paramount when facing against that kind of firepower but it is useless within the first 5 minutes of the game because you can't afford it. keep the cool down as it is of course but just make the specific ability free. in matches against human opponents i've seen axis players bring in 2 MGs(uberwagons included) making an easy shutdown for USF since they lack MGs of their own early game erm...that seems a little unfair. MGs would be pretty well useless if every rifleman squad could just throw smoke around for free. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF OP2 Aug 2015, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2015, 11:28 AMKingKubel USF is just stupid overpowered. Germans need serious help early and late game, i think King Kubeljesus would help as starting unit This made my day. thank you In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Obersoldaten UP2 Aug 2015, 14:49 PM I wouldn't agree that obers are UP but i definitely agree they are too expensive to reinforce. I think slightly reducing their reinforcement cost would be all that is needed. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Fuel rationing as an approach to balancing30 Jul 2015, 22:15 PM If caches only benefit the player who builds them what is to prevent one or two players from taking all the cache points? In: COH2 Balance
