Thread: December Balance Preview1 Dec 2017, 18:26 PM Mechanized Company is certainly a lot better. But the lack of a call-in makes it feel fairly limited in certain situations. Maybe swap the mortar halftrack for an artillery call-in? In: Lobby
Thread: December Balance Preview1 Dec 2017, 18:24 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2017, 13:34 PMMr.Smith Do you prefer a s-mine-laying-like ability, or do you prefer the detonate-on-landing variant that we have? We can also make it half-and-half so that explosions will alert the opponent that a minedrop happened somewhere around that area. Cluster bombs currently lack a proper AoE and act like mini-stuka-dive-bombs from the live version (aka, all or nothing). Having it as a area denial mine carpet would be much more interesting and useful. But ideally it would need to have some kind of tell, so that it isn't too frustrating to play against. Would it be possible to make one or two of the mines visible? So that anyone paying attention could notice them. Or like you say perhaps have a very loud sound alert when being dropped, to give some warning. In: Lobby

Thread: Commander Revamp concerns23 Nov 2017, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2017, 17:32 PMZombiFrancis In what you've shown there, I feel like a Priest might be more fitting than a Pershing to be perfectly honest. It'd give that Recon Sweep a purpose. Or if the Recon sweep revealed cloaked units, as it's a sweep, not a loiter... I dunno. The commander system itself is what makes balancing individual commanders a challenge IMO. Unless that's overhauled, commander balance will likely be a moving target. Ideally it would be great to have more commanders that have access to the Priest/Pershing. Only having one commander for each unit is a waste of game content and gameplay potential. I doubt Relic will be adding any new commanders to the game (even though they would probably sell better than DOW3), so the 'revamp' is realistically the only way to get drastically better commanders into the game.

Thread: Commander Revamp concerns23 Nov 2017, 17:10 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2017, 11:31 AMJubimir Would be great to have a USF Pershing+ShermanE8 commander. Soviets already have a t34/85+IS2 commander - I always play with that. Or is that too much? That's the kind of drastic change (or revamp) to a commander I was hoping we'd from the revamps. The 'Recon Support Company' is basically rubbish, if they tweak that and keep it as a light recon and mainly inf based commander, it will remain a totally weak commander that would be a waste of a commander slot. This is the perfect commander for an actual revamp. They could change it to 'Armoured Support Company'. They could massively buff the M8 so that it's like a lessor Puma (as someone else has suggested), and replace 'Airdropped Combat Group' with a Pershing. The fact that only one US commander has access to the Pershing is a farce and a huge waste of the unit. And finally, swap Pathfinders with Assault Engineers. If the existing weak commanders are only tweaked, although they will be improved, they will most likely still remain much weaker choices, compared to the most popular commanders. In: Lobby
Thread: Commander Revamp concerns23 Nov 2017, 16:31 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2017, 09:47 AMnigo The eastern revamp is better than the british "revamp". The Tank Hunter commander has certainly been improved a lot, which is very welcome. But I doubt anyone would pick it more than they used to. Especially now that Ambush Tactics, IL-2 call-in, and Guards have been improved, which will make all the commanders that have those better - which includes most of the main SU commanders people most frequently use. I really can't see anyone bothering with 'Guard Rifle Combined Arms Tactics' as although it has some interesting stuff and has been improved, it just isn't useful enough to be worth using, compared to all the alternative better commanders. Which is also why although these commanders are without a doubt being improved, their overall themes mean they just aren't a good or worth while choice compared to much better commanders. In: Lobby
Thread: Commander Revamp concerns23 Nov 2017, 03:35 AM Based on round 2 of the commanders revamp (tweaking) it looks like it is going to be a case of only minor tweaking, rather than serious (and in some cases much needed) revamps. The irony is that because it improves units that are available with other commanders, it will most likely just make other commanders even better, and thus make these few commanders even more unpopular. The reason some of these commanders are barely ever used is because they're very clearly totally inferior to other commanders. Most likely because they specialise too much in only a few areas. The AVRE commander has certainly been improved A LOT, so hopefully a few more commanders will become viable just from tweaking. But based on how awful most of the commanders are, I'm pretty sure they will still be totally inferior and won't be used even after being tweaked. Some of these commanders require really drastic overhauls, or to have their 'theme' scrapped entirely. In: Lobby
Thread: [DBP] Royal Engineer Doctrine feedback thread22 Nov 2017, 02:00 AM I think the changes to this commander are good, and certainly make it a decent choice now. Great job! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December Balance Preview18 Nov 2017, 23:55 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2017, 23:13 PMskemshead Demos should be redesigned so that they are still effective at deterring blobs but not wipe sole squads. Imo they should only kill 50% of squad members, reduce health on all squads over a large area to almost nothing and either cause prolonged supression and/or maybe even random retreats. Make the ability a bit interesting, a bit different. Coh2 is drowning in over the top abilities that wipe shit and generally swing a game because of a simple 1 click ability. I agree, essentially like a giant mine. Taking away the ability to plant them at points is a big improvement, as that removes cheap squad wipes when capping. That's certainly a change I think everyone can support. In: Lobby
