Thread: New Commander Submission - Discuss31 Jan 2019, 20:02 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2019, 18:55 PMRoastinGhost What are your guys' opinion on number of new abilities? Some people wanted none, in order to reduce testing. Not sure if I saw any with 5 new abilities. I think the sweet spot is 3 for Eastern armies, and 3-4 for Western. That's a good amount of variety without going overboard. I can imagine people being disappointed if the new commanders were remixes of what we have already, especially considering 11 Red Army and 9 Ostheer Commanders don't have anything unique to them. Anyway, thoughts? A few new-new abilities are probably welcome but honestly even for SOV and OST there are several abilities that are only in one commander that could easily be used and while not new would be nice to have (For Mother Russia, Breakthrough, etc. comes to mind). Since we're limited to units/models already in game I think the best way to think about it is to think of Unit Roles that each army lacks and reskin accordingly. For example I really like Derby Hat's idea of a Light AT Ostruppen squad with AT Rifles since OST is limited to Shreked up PGrens as Infantry AT. In: Lobby
Thread: Ostwind31 Jan 2019, 19:03 PM Buff it's AI and maybe increase cost to compensate. Right now I never get it in 1v1 because of the reasons Theo stated - it's an AI tank but PZ4 is good enough at AI that it's almost always better/safer just to get that and also have the flexibility to deal with tanks. Until it can better punish players who go heavy infantry spam than a PZ4 can then it'll never see much use. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Advanced Warfare Tactics needs some love31 Jan 2019, 17:03 PM Agreed, I really want to love Advanced Warfare because PPSH and 85s on paper look like a great combo. Part of the problem is that the Strafe is bugged/broken where the the damage doesn't line up properly - though I agree that the PTAB or Overwatch would have a lot more utility over even a fixed Strafe (especially when compared to IL2 Loiter commanders). I suppose something could be added/merged to Conscript Repair to make it more attractive as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen field defenses29 Jan 2019, 15:55 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2019, 03:26 AMShadowLinkX37 "Riflemen" field defenses, therefore they're on riflemen. Can't be fast plant time otherwise they'd be spammed. /thread Agreed but I would add that I think 3X is still a touch too long. I think it could be reduced somewhat without becoming too toxic but not at Engineer speed - there will always be munitions gating and actively forgoing BARs if you really wanted to spam mines. Either that or reducing the plant time and making them AI only or limiting the model kill to 1 or something for a cost reduction. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Favourite kind of teammates28 Jan 2019, 16:05 PM Ah, I remember why I stopped playing 2v2s now. My favorite is the "good early game a must" mate who starts with "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" if you have a bad first engagement and have to retreat and lose the fuel point or something. Were you double teamed? Who cares! Play perfect from minute 3 or GTFO. Also the "Why aren't you helping me!" whiners who blame you for anything that goes wrong on their end despite not saying anything until they've mostly been wiped or the situation has gone to complete shit. Sorry bro, was busy microing my units and don't have time to watch what you're doing 24/7. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Would Tech Heavies Be Game Breaking?25 Jan 2019, 20:24 PM From a 1v1 perspective I think Heavies are mostly used for their ability to call-in while stalling with AT Guns and Lower tiers due to a rough early/mid game so this change would likely remove them laregly from that mode. In other modes I think pop-cap would likely limit you from getting multiple heavies but I guess highly coordinated teams might be able to make it work. I also think 2 Pershings would be pretty OP lol In: COH2 Balance

Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 10:00 AMullumulu But there will come some ppl which will tell you: - the earth is round - vaccines prevent diseases - its your own fault when u let satchel your tanks > you must be dumb, brainafk, and learn2play issue when u get satcheled tanks (though sometimes even the best players get satcheled many times because they got outplayed with fog of war or micro mistakes) In: COH2 Balance

Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.23 Jan 2019, 20:14 PM I'm inclined to agree- Comets are pretty rare now from my experience as well and I think they were probably overnerfed back when Brits were getting fine tuned from being OP at launch. I'd say a slight scatter buff and slight cost reduction should be sufficient, nothing too crazy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy 8 Change Suggestions22 Jan 2019, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2019, 17:37 PMinsaneHoshi Put E8 vs p4 vs a tank with any semblance of armour. Furthermore p4 has 2.5 AOE with 6.5 scatter and e8 has 2 AOE with 5 scatter. Stop using "alternative facts" when saying E8 has bad AOE. Thank you for the comparison. Offhand do you know how that compares to Comet's performance vs. Infantry? The point of my suggestion is to see if people like the idea of (just spitballing) an Easy 8 that had a P4's performance vs. Infantry at say 160 or 165 fuel? The cost of course being subject to performance as a fairly beefy all-rounder. I realize of course that a re-hauled Rifle Company would mean that the Easy 8 wouldn't have to be super buffed to be an attractive commander but with Revamps being very infrequent I just wanted to float the idea of a re-balanced Easy 8 in the new commander as a way to indirectly help Rifle Company as well vs. turning this into another theoretical Rifle Company revamp thread.
