Thread: April 20th Update19 Apr 2016, 06:45 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2016, 06:15 AMMaschinengewehr I completely disagree. If you buff something enough, it warrants a price increase also. Case in point, the 222. It's far too cheap for the utility it provides. Likewise, if you nerf something enough, then it also warrants a price decrease. It fails in cases like this because Relic follows logic such as yours, which upsets quite a few people and doesn't make any sense at all. Your approach basically assumes that they make arbitrary nerfs or buffs in the first place as if they were in a vacuum. Everything has to be done relative to other units, you don't make something more powerful just for the sake of making it more powerful. You could, however, argue that the changes to, for example, the 222, were too significant or not warranted at all, but you would need evidence for that, which I assume relic had in order to convince them the changes were needed in the first place. (I'm not saying that I always agree with relic or anything) I don't think anyone would argue that the 222 wasn't underperforming before the changes. Maybe they went a bit overboard and it could use some further adjustment, I'm not sure. The entire idea of "balancing" is based on making slight changes to that very delicate ratio of cost/performance until the unit fits well relative to other units. There's a reason skilled players will consider spamming maxims but not mg42s. In: COH2 Gameplay

Without buffing arc of fire or suppression... I just don't understand, they last time buffed 222 scout car without increasing cost or something like that, but Maxim they nerfing without any buffs in back... Is that some kind of joke - we will buff axis without balancing and nerf soviets without compensation... Just don't understand... want to cry. You see, When something is UNDER-PERFORMING,(i.e. old 222) you BUFF it, either by INCREASING its potency or DECREASING its cost. When something is OVER-PERFORMING,(i.e. current maxim) you NERF it, either by DECREASING its potency or INCREASING its cost. If you were to increase its cost but at the same time buff its fire arc or suppression it would defeat the purpose of making the change, which is to balance. Capisci? Given you username, however, I can understand your dismay. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Firefly VS Panther11 Apr 2016, 05:19 AM They aren't in the same class. Firefly is a TD because it has extended range. Panther is just a well armored medium tank whose cannon trades AI capability for better penetration than other medium tanks. Other than the comet, which does everything. Spelling In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reduce Braces Effect/ Mortar Pits less accurate11 Apr 2016, 01:05 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2016, 01:04 AMFiresparks the british "3" inch was actually 3.20 inch, aka 81.2mm Fair enough but my point still stands. It's much more powerful than the soviet 81mm. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reduce Braces Effect/ Mortar Pits less accurate11 Apr 2016, 00:58 AM I don't understand the reason that each individual British mortar is so powerful. The blast radius in-game of each 3 inch shell falls somewhere between the 80mm and 120mm mortars when in fact 3 inches is only 76.2mm. Maybe bringing them in line with the actual math would help balance them a bit. Edit: The soviet mortar wasn't 120m In: COH2 Balance
Thread: July Patch22 Jul 2015, 08:03 AM I like a lot of what's in this patch. The early MG42s are really strong against rifles and con spam, it kind of takes away a lot of USF's sheer dominance over ostheer early on. This is especially true in 2v2 where you generally have less ground to capture than in 1v1, and can more easily afford to keep your units together early. Does OKW's PzIV get the armor bonuses of the sideskirts right away, as if it were a vet 2 ostheer PzIV? It does cost 10 more fuel (135), on top of being tied to a faction with reduced fuel income. The sturmtiger is actually useful now. The AOE on it is really impressive with the changes, and the extra range and penetration are a big deal. Its a wiping machine. Just don't try to drive it up to an AT gun wall, the aiming still takes some time... In: News
