Thread: Major Too overpriced25 Mar 2021, 21:54 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2021, 20:17 PMT70xwing in what world 50 cal nerf is a requested change its already a weak MG now its worthless Yes, because everybody wasn't just A-moving .50 Cals around and abusing the fast set up time like it was the second coming of maxim spam. Nevermind the fact that it's a soft counter to light vehicles. Totally useless. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF have too many abilities by default.24 Mar 2021, 21:06 PM My theory is just that you are so used to hearing "The Ability is Ready!" that when you didn't have a commander locked in that you misseed it too much. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brits OP, again24 Mar 2021, 13:19 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2021, 20:18 PMToXiCGrAvE Please allow to vent a little bit. Me and me friend are tryharding 2v2 okw. all good and fun. listen to this i have 3 falls, all 2 vet upgraded, so 12 FG42's standing still. Do you know what 12 FG42's do to infantry? So, 1 single assault infantry section comes walking to me from long range to grenade range. the 12 FG42's manage to drop 1 single model from his assault section and he manages to fosphor me. Granted, he didnt kill my squad but man .......... How is this ever balanced. I didnt even start about his AA half track, super quick cromwell or anything like that. My philosopy is that if the UKF is at equal skill, he wins 100% of the time. this is bullshit You DO realize that Falls can do the same thing with their Vet 1 grenade right? Such imbalence Lelic plz nerf 1 Falls forced my 3 Section blob to retreat In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Commander - Recon Company rework18 Mar 2021, 00:17 AM I think part of the problem with Raid tactics is that it's a munitions dump in a munitions heavy commander combined with the fact that it's light vehicles only - so realistically you mostly use it during the early game when you most need to bank munitions. If you want to use Para Combat Group (200 munitions if you want upgrades right away) and then it's hard to use with Greyhound because Greyhound also requires munitions. It would be more useful if it applied to mediums (slower cap speed to balance) so that it has some late game use and doesn't become useless as soon as your Stuart dies. Another unique idea might be to make it a passive that gives some/all vehicles Soviet "Secure Mode". In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Two Forgotten and bad OST abilities17 Mar 2021, 15:42 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2021, 17:37 PMelchino7 LAB is fine. CPIV is getting reworked As far as OH abilities goes: Units arriving in bundle are not generally good so i would just remove the Gren/PG from the 250HT. MAYBE the Gren version makes a little more sense in the Assault Gren commander. Relief infantry. Osstruppen reserves where always "eh" even in Mobile defense meta. Not sure how shitty is the Stuka flame bomb barrage I do hope they don't give Mechanized Assault the straight up 250 from Infantry though... I feel like the clown car cheese with early Ass Grens would just be toxic. +1 To Relief Infantry and Stuka Flame Run getting fixed. I would also suggest reworking the medical crate drop - maybe reduce the cost and have it drop one crate. Dropping 3 crates is too hard to use near the frontline because you rarely use them fast enough to not run risk of them getting stolen and dropping them at base is pointless when it's much more efficient to build a healing bunker. Med kits are also omni-present in OST and dirt cheap now... so you really need to work the buff angle to make the ability usefull. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf USF vehicle crew diembark no vehicle upkeep16 Mar 2021, 15:45 PM I think OP wants vehicle crews to have PopCap equal to their vehicle? If so that's not really necessary given the recent patch. If a player has his tanks idle just to have temporary increased manpower then that's incredibly inefficient. Likewise the total sum of extra manpower that you accrue while repairing your tanks with vehicle crews has to be negligible… In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Winter Patch Buglist 202113 Mar 2021, 06:56 AM Found a bug. OST Smoke Bombs were supposed to be moved to CP2 to match OKW but they still are CP4 contrary to patch notes. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Osttruppen Doctrine opinion13 Mar 2021, 06:55 AM Ostruppen are still very good and even got buffed with better late game scaling with LMG accuracy. The fact they they are slightly slower to arrive and you have slightly less resources due to T1 cost doesn't change their performance at all. Plus I've found that having access to T1 from the get-go means it's easier to mix in Snipers and Mortars which can be beneficial. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: German Infantry Commander adjustments12 Mar 2021, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2021, 05:31 AMZeroZeroNi It's not all that simple. The sgt has lower damage and is an auto weapon that means it's damage is more spread out compared to things like con_mosin's or gren_kar's work. DPS alone isn't really a good indication on how an engagement is gonna go. The STG is all gravy though. If 4 Men Grens beat 6 Men Cons at long range then 5 Men Grens beat 7 Men Cons. DPS doesn't dictate an engagement (RNG does) but it's still a pretty good indicator of the average result. SO if STG has a higher DPS at mid-long range then by definition that means on average they'll perform better on average at those ranges than G43. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: German Infantry Commander adjustments12 Mar 2021, 00:09 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 07:14 AMZeroZeroNi can I see your tests plz, cause i'm finding this a little hard to believe. I'll admit that I'm not tech savvy enough to screenshot or record video in game. But it's pretty straightforward looking at stats. I assume you will concede that stock Grens generally beat stock Cons at longer ranges? So if each upgrade adds 1 extra model then that means there is no change in their relationship. Add in the fact that VSL gives them a cooldown bonus still and STG (superior to G43 at longer ranges) then they still win at longer ranges assuming no user error. They just simply don't win as hard as LMG grens. In: COH2 Gameplay
