Thread: KV1 nerfs, When?14 Apr 2021, 16:52 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 16:46 PMLeo251 KV1 is the new meta. This tank is out of control, really really OP. It deserves a big nerf in 1 or 2 of the following stats: - HP. - Armor. - Price. - Pop. - Rotation speed and acc. - Speed. - Penetration (I see a lot of shots penning Panthers frontal armor. Maybe 4 out of 10). - Limit to max 1 per time. Checks Commander Revamp Patch Notes Ask and you shall receive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback13 Apr 2021, 17:12 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2021, 12:49 PMLewka What do you guys think is better for the Command P4? The artillery or the mark target? Personally I think the artillery is more desirable I think the artillery will always be more useful overall just because a cheap-ish way to displace support weapons during all-in pushes will have a bigger impact more often than not. Though I could see Mark Target being good with mechanized where spotting scopes can allow for easier follow-up for kills. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hull Down Panther new best TD?13 Apr 2021, 16:36 PM Regarding Hulldown. Wouldn't it be possible to code it so that it can't be activated in battle (similar to how Soviet Crew Repairs works). I know the balance team added a longer hulldown time so that it's harder to use offensively but wouldn't this be preferable for hulldown's intended role? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback12 Apr 2021, 17:58 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2021, 17:04 PMAshmole These are all pretty good. For the recon Support, they need to get rid of the howitzer drop and just make it the recon/at airborne troops. This ability is a bit expensive - it's reminiscent of the lend lease guards on a HT that was just dropped. Also dropping the greyhound to 3 CPs or making it unlockable by tech. Another idea instead of getting rid of the Pak Howie would be to merge it into the Paratrooper. By that I mean turn it into an ability "Request Paradrop" where for 80 munitions your Paratrooper squad can drop in a Pak Howie as a castable ability. It ends up being the same cost as in live but it's infinitely more flexible because it lets you bank those 80 munitions for other things if you don't want the Pak Howie right away. Additionally you could do this for Airborne as well - merge HMG and AT Gun Paradrop into one passive ability and allow Paratroopers to call in either support weapon for a cost and then you could add one new ability to Airborne if you wanted to.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback9 Apr 2021, 01:18 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2021, 00:30 AMgeneral_gawain Since Commando Regiment is overburdened with expensive munition abilities you could exchange at least one ability with a different Commando Glider drop. This could be either a longer ranged Commando Squad with an optional recon role or an AT based Commando squad. The AT based squad should leave the gilder fully equipped with PIATs. To give them some more uniqueness they could be PIAT experts (similar to AEF Bazooka Elite troops) and have an additional ability like vehicle detection/vehicle button/heat grenade/(placeholder for another AT ability you may think off)... Just some ideas without any thoughts about balance, which has to be considered carefully of course. The problem with Glider insertion is that it takes so long to land that you're never going to use it in the heat of battle unless you want to YOLO the glider into a backlines repairing tank, which I don't think will be very useful. If anything I think some kind AT Infiltration Commando (like current AT Partisans) would be easier to use but it's also kind of clunky to have two separate Commando abilities. I think the cleanest implementation would be to have some new passive "Commando Anti Tank Training" that gives them Elite PIAT passive, maybe the PIAT Upgrade that doesn't require territory, Sticky Heavy Gammon bomb/whatever. Smoke Raid could probably go but I don't think balance team would do it since it's kind of the whole flavor of the doctrine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback8 Apr 2021, 19:25 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2021, 07:12 AMSander93 The Greyhound is close to a T-70 in terms of AI power. Its 4 CP timing is fine in 1v1. It needs that gate otherwise it would become too powerful. It was heavy meta before Mechanized took over. It's too bad that 4 CPs is too late for teamgames, but you can't buff its timing without potentially breaking it in 1v1. So there's not much to be done. Some units are simply only good in one mode. Couldn't you theoretically tinker with Main Gun/50 Cal DPS and gate some of it's AI potential behind tech? For example slightly improve the main gun so that vanilla Greyhound is viable at a slightly earlier timing and gate the 50 Cal behind Major tech so that Greyhound isn't too oppressive early on. IMO it would go a long way to helping the commander so that Greyhound isn't so dependent on munitions to be good when the rest of the commander abilities also require munitions- making it rather difficult to fully utilize this commander. Edit #1 I suppose you could also make the 50 Cal a Vet 2/3 requirement where it's only available/Free? after you hit that Vet. Edit #2 Another idea would be to increase main gun damage at Vet 1 so that you can't abuse Greyhound as emergency AT but it scales better in that department. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback5 Apr 2021, 18:35 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2021, 11:02 AMSander93 I still dream of the day people consider a preview an actual preview (i.e. a testing ground) and keep in mind that especially in the first iteration there are going to be a lot of values that need further tweaking. We're creating a new weapon here, is it really a surprise that the values might be off on the first try? Wait for further iterations before coming up with these kind of remarks please. This type of feedback is worthless. Speaking of future iterations. Could you consider looking at the AI strafe in Tactical Support's FOP. It's buggy and will target vehicles despite being an AI stafe. Would be a nice bug fix/slight buff to the commander. Thanks~ In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soviets need forward HQ or something4 Apr 2021, 05:35 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2021, 05:04 AMChukiki I dont want to retreat my units all to the base each time thats too inefficient. THey need something to refill and heal their troops at the front. If only they had some kind of mobile vehicle that both reinforced and healed troops when they were inside it. It'd probably be really good in T3 probably not a tank though so maybe something with half the tracks... they could call it a halftrack! Too bad that doesn't exist. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance team should watch Tightropes video4 Apr 2021, 05:32 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2021, 03:46 AMZeroZeroNi The Balance team should watch TightRope's videos on the British in the beta. You guys fucked up with raid sections there. I love Tightrope but his Raid Section tests were not representative of what the matchups would be like. Vicker's K is locked behind Company Command Post so Raid Sections won't get them until Mid Game. Testing Vet 0 Raid w/ Upgrade vs. Axis Infantry w/ Upgrades will never happen. Raid sections will generally be fighting un-upgraded vs upgraded Grens (probably with better Vet). In: COH2 Balance
