Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch11 Nov 2018, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2018, 16:05 PMmiragefla Is the balance team planning to release the new list of changes next week? And do you want us to focus our discussion on any specific unit, idea, concept that could help? I think this thread lost his main theme recently so would be good once again clarify the direction of this "debate" (of course expect Widerstreit repair station - great job dude) In: Lobby
Thread: 2020 CoH 3 is becoming more real by every day8 Nov 2018, 09:20 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2018, 16:25 PMCrecer13 But there is another side: I'm bored that all the games about World War II are focused on the same events: - Normandy - Africa - Pearl Harbor - On the Eastern Front usually only: the battle for Moscow, Stalingrad and Berlin I want to see other events on the example of the Eastern Front: - Battle of Voronezh. Stalingrad and Voronezh were the only cities of the front line that passed through the city for more than a year. - The battle for the Caucasus, there is a very interesting moment the battle for the hotel "Shelter of the Elevent" with the participation of mountain troops on both sides - Siege of Leningrad and the war to Korelia - Defense of Sevastopol - Dnieper parachute operation - Soviet operations in Norway - The Balaton operation - the last offensive operation of Germany, the bloody confrontation of the King Tiger against the SU-100 and the war in Hungary. - The War of Manchuria The Eastern Front has just a huge scope for implementation, but we always see Moscow, Stalingrad, Berlin. I really expected that when i heard about coh2 Eastern Front, partly unique untold stories. Then after release i put my hope into a theater of war dlcs or possibly new german campaign in future. Sadly we again expect that we got Western front armies with a quite boring USF campaign without even battle of Bastogne and no axis missions. I wanted a game like "Stalingrad" (Blitzkrieg series game) and we got another ww2 game that focus only on most common events. Really shame. Africa in coh3 probably won't be any diffrent but at least in case of balance should be much easier to do. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch6 Nov 2018, 13:52 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2018, 17:29 PMShadowLinkX37 Pak 43 is supposed to be shock value and then scuttle? At the very most you'll get a single medium kill from it and at the very least you'll get 1 shot off. Not worth the resources even remotely to inflict 1 320 damage shot. I understand the concept of this changes. Idea is good, won't be used often, but can do their job. Even if it kills 1 t34 and then packed up it will still be worth it BUT Thing is that pak43 in that specific form can't be used effectively becouse build time and packing up takes too much time, way too much time. Where is the shock value if building time takes 2 years to finish? Personally i;m a bigger fan of making this specific pak43 in defensive doctrine as a emplacement. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch28 Oct 2018, 12:07 PM According to this (after 11:00): Commander revamp preview 1.8 notes review & demonstrations kv-8 can win vs p4 on every range and can wipe 2 paks easily. Price of the unit is around 135 fuel if i recall correctly. This unit become bloody opieOP right now OR a huge price increase. Right now is really close to become a small Croc for 100 fuel less.

Thread: New Commander concepts.26 Oct 2018, 07:43 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 20:54 PMSmartie Smartie's smart( commander concepts: Wehrmacht: Division "Großdeutschland" (it was the best equipped Division of the whole wehrmacht until 1943 and fought from 1941-1945 on the eastern front) • SdKfz. 250 (version with MG) • Counter attack tactics • Assault grenadiers • Stuka zu Fuß call-in (8 CP) • P4 H-Version call-in : Elite version of the P4 i have few suggestion to your idea which i really like btw. "Großdeutschland" was opieOP division in entire Wermacht. They acually had a lot of heavy stuff and they were bloody elite. So: 1. becouse that division was very experience i would add upgrade for infantry (pio, grens, pgrens) called "extra training" - something like german infantry already has: extra unique abilities for each type of infantry 2. To make the concept more unique i would suggest Panzerfuzzilier rather than assualt grens. 3. 250 sdkfz is 4th MP call in unit so should be replace with ammo ability. Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2018, 12:07 PMSander93 Revised it a bit. OKW Tank Hunter doctrine / Anti-tank doctrine Partly based on CoH's Panzer Elite tank destroyer doctrine. Aiming to fill some gaps in OKW's line up to add diversity in gameplay and strategies. 13cp) Tiger I Ausf. E. Late war variant of Ostheer's Tiger. Same model. More mobile and versatile alternative to the King Tiger, but slightly less powerful. Comes equiped with MG 42 and/or Panzer Tactician as standard. Perhaps Panzer Commander instead of pintle. ~680MP and 250FU. I would prefer that Tiger to be more diffrent that ostheer version. So expect panzer tactician i would add a smoke shot like cromwell has, expect mg a panzer commander, and ambush camo ability (but cannot move). Generally idea is great. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch26 Oct 2018, 06:08 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2018, 22:20 PMSander93 I get the idea and it's good. However I do think that what the Pak 43 really needs as well in order to become more viable is a second build option that entrenches it like the 17 pounder (maybe with brace). In that case it should lose the ability to shoot through shot blockers, but it should be able to withstand indirect fire and off-maps better. Basically this opens up a player choice to take survivability over utility, if one suspects the enemy will be able to hit it with indirect / off map. Actually that would make sense and pak43 in Defensive doctrine would become more unique. Cannot fire through shot blockers but it's an emplacement. Packing up if it possible would be great for the remaining pak43s in other doctrines (if it;s not out of scope) I'm really glad that balance team used the feedback here and they put medic ability in commisar in a timer, moved Jeager to 1CP (although it would be great to see 2x shrek upgrade available as well), 1 med kit pack for 221 and Sturmtiger Hull MG no longer auto attacks enemies. Feels good you read and use ideas we text here. PS: still think that LeFH should be replace by Sturmtiger and EliteArmor should get a Tiger I "E" In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch19 Oct 2018, 05:59 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2018, 19:50 PMSmartie As Sander said: We like the changes of the Sturmtiger (and in Elite Armor in generel) but feel the unit would be better fit to "overwatch" replacing the leFh. If you dont want to move the Sturmtiger, fine, but I personally don't think that sector arty is enough to make "overwatch" doctrine worthwhile. Would the mod team consider ideas like giving Sturms the option to lay tellers / build demos (merged with goliath to "demolitian experts" ability) or - as Stark suggested- giving Jaegers upgrade option for 2 Schrecks? Let's look at Overwatch commander: goliat (ammo), early waring (passive), jeagers (call-in), for the fatherland (ammo), sector artillery (heavy ammo). Honestly the only big diffrence between this or the basic version would only be jeagers and that's not enough to consider this commander as successfully revamped The ideas we suggested (2x shrek for jeagers and demolition experts), plus g43 upgrade for Jeagers are again another ammunition base abilities therefore they shouldn't be implemented in pair with proposed by Sturmpanther Sector Artillery. That slot (in place for Sector arty) is perfect for a call-in late game unit. First option is to add Jagtiger. My personal dream would be to move Sturmtiger to Overwatch where it could shine in his best - in "explosion Michael Bay style commader" and Elite Armor could get some elite armor call-in (Tiger I "E" would make sense). Theme of both would be kept and both commander would gain from that. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch18 Oct 2018, 10:00 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2018, 09:29 AMTiger Baron I am glad you like the 221/223. Btw what do you think of turning the Sturmtiger into an SPG, similar in function to the CoH Hummel with the KV2 Siege mode like lockdown to increase range and reduce reload but make it a sitting duck? Sturmtiger is one of the hardest unit to balance in game. Thing is it fires rockets not a artillery round so the projectile is more linear. After the patch it colides with terrain and obstacles. Don't see it firing for another side of the map with current animation. Plus one rocket has 1,5 m length and 125 kg weight. It didn't have Hummel or kv-2 rate of fire. If anything it could work as b4 on wheels but honestly i;m not huge fan of it. I would see it in current form, great vs teamweapon, at gun walls and blobs but it has be to way cheaper and with more reasonable abilities. Granade that can kill 1 or 2 infantry models in 25 range for a unit that suppose to keep distance is not right way to go. Extra flare ability could make it more atractive. Sanders also pointed out that this unit should have disable mg option. Currently the mg reveal your ST in certain situation when you try to make a sneaky shot. Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2018, 09:41 AMSander93 The healing is nice but the stack of 3x crates makes it awkward to use on the front lines (you rarely need more than one crate). It would be much more practical if it drops one crate at a time or can select a squad for healing (like OST's medkits). 15-20MU per crate/heal. The ability to engage aircraft would be nice. Could be considered for vet4. Yeah 1 crate just makes more sense. Sturmpio medpack would be more as a base healing while 221 med pack would be frontline healing. current vet 4 ability which reduces damage while it's deployed is okey yet something else is needed - addtionaly AA ability would be great. I'm buying it In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch18 Oct 2018, 08:51 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2018, 10:50 AMSander93 I don't think it needs anything as the Emergency Repairs, Panzer Commander and the HEAT shells the doctrine comes with would already make a Tiger I better than its Ostheer counterpart. Well, you need to give it something - it will have 5 vet levels after all. All above you meansioned is available from a commander only. Abilities which i describe mostly would be welcome for a Tiger I in a new commanders with pak40, infantry squad with 2 shreks, sniper etc. Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2018, 13:54 PMullumulu Isnt it funny? to argue that okw shouldnet get ost units (lefh) but suggest that okw could get a tiger I? neighter me or Sanders haven't said that okw shouldn't get lefh at all. It's already in Fortification which fits perfectly. Just Sturmtiger would sound better - that's it. Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2018, 12:34 PMSmartie I agree 100% that OKW heavies need serious rework (who could not?) but i fear thats out of scope. So lets concentrate on our options to replace the Sturmtiger and move the reworked version to "Overwatch". As Stark / Sander said Tiger I would be a dream come true but i also would happily take the option to build a Brummbaer with Elite Armor. Other option: A KT commander tank which would come already equipped with tank commander and panzer tactician. By the way: Stark, whats your experience with the 1.7 version of Elite armor? Did you / Sully used it in the tourney and if yes whats your opinion about the 223? Does it need to come out earlier? Regarding "Overwatrch rework": NoktDraz I really like the idea of giving the pak40 to "overwatch". I already made the suggestion to rework "defense of the fatherland" to an supply drop including a pak40. It could also include 2 schrecks and would help to get much needed AT. How would you incorporate the pak40? i would leave pak40 for a new commanders. Balance team somewhere wrote that they consider moving jeagers to 1cp but with upgradable weapons. Why not give them 2x shrek upgrade then? They would work as a pgrens and it would replace your pak40 idea - plus would buff the ostwind commander as well. Yeah i played with mr S in a 1.7 version. 221 is really fun to use. their fighting capabilities are okey, someone may say it comes too late epecially if you go t2 but at least it blocks the unit for spamming it really early game - which brits or USF could stragle. I really like the idea of making it a supply unit. When it did the job, late game when it isn't needed it can atleast buff your income. I would keep a look on a resources buff though. On certain maps like Minks it could be really OP if you put it in a fuel point (extra 7 fuel income). Sturmtiger still not worth it though. Maybe with old prices but surely not for 180 fuel and 600+ MP. In: Lobby
