Thread: The devs did it again... Buffed B4 into the heaven2 Jul 2021, 23:46 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 23:10 PMVipper howitzer_105mm_le_fh18_artillery_mp friendly damage 50% of damage m1937_152mm_ml_20_artillery_mp friendly damage 5 HP 4_howitzer_artillery_commander_mp (old not updated) friendly fire 16 HP sexton_spg_squad_mp friendly fire 14 HP m7b1_priest_squad_mp Friendly fire 5 HP Do you play mostly allies? In an case this friendly damage should be increased. Yeah I've been blown up by teammates who didn't think carefully about their LEFH 18 targets, ppl you do an AT with even. A consistency issue that should be fixed, Damage friendly near 80 is a squad gone within 2 distance units. I did not know the other arty pieces had such low friendly damage, but explains a lot of what I thought was 'suicidal' pushes through their own shells. Should we be looking at increasing friendly fire damage across the table or just reducing one? Not a fan personally of ppl ignoring huge shells going off next to them but gameplay is gameplay.

Thread: Replace m8 Scott with the calliope.2 Jul 2021, 18:06 PM I will say briefly that if the Calliope becomes nondoc somehow then it is almost certain to suffer the same fate as all other rocket arty - which is one hit kill. Calls would be made for it (not necessarily from me) and they would be hard to argue against. Scott did suffer in recent nerfs but the previous situation of it outranging an AT gun was not acceptable either. EDIT: The fundamental issue with the Scott is that it is a howitzer on treads and extremely difficult to pin down, even with a Puma. Smokes against dives and moves fast. LeFH can blow it to hell if they’re asleep at the wheel but otherwise it is a pain. Thus difficult to balance imho. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Could we just delete vet 1 ML-20 smoke barrage ?. 2 Jul 2021, 10:07 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 01:44 AMSkysTheLimit Yeah not if you're trying to use recon+IL2 which is much much more than 3 grenades. It's totally affordable under normal circumstances, but in that example it would not be Like I said, the ability is good but it has its limits If you're going to mock people so religiously for thinking CB is OP then you could at least wait to see this in practice more before you say it's a problem lol It's still only 30 muni, barely worth mentioning esp with muni caches involved (which you will have with Il-2 commander). Sure, will be interesting to see once the usual Flavour of the month ppl move off a (presumably nerfed) B-4. Perhaps too much skill required and I've overestimated the willingness to go to to that lvl of coordination. Having lived through the Panther acc firestorm of a thread over 0.035->0.040 accuracy, you'll have to forgive me for being sceptical In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Could we just delete vet 1 ML-20 smoke barrage ?. 1 Jul 2021, 20:57 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 19:45 PMSkysTheLimit How often do you think you'll be able to use it if you're using recon and IL2? Not sure what the point of that example was At 30 muni late game? Whenever the button's not greyed out unless every fight consists of 3 grenade throws or something ridiculous. The point was that I think the new ML-20's underrated. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Could we just delete vet 1 ML-20 smoke barrage ?. 1 Jul 2021, 19:06 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 18:07 PMSkysTheLimit Can we do this without whataboutism? The "long range" part works both ways. It takes the smoke longer to arrive, and unless the howy is already aimed directly at the spot, it will take a second to reface It's not bad by any means. But OP? Lmao I'm all for useful abilities/utility at vet 1. Ah yes, having done my homework, 30 muni on an independent CD of 120s. Not overpriced, esp in a commander that comes with recon and IL-2 bombing run so you will get to reliably keep vetted ML-20s. I said it was 'a bit OP'. Definitely disagree with the original poster, ESP after the old vet 1 became baseline. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 18:07 PMSkysTheLimit Does howitzer smoke prevent blobbing too? And smoking an MG < destroying it/wiping its vet Regular fire kills MGs! Which has its own CD. I was talking about MGs and not everyone blobs inf late game, you can always buy a Katy if the squad count is that obscene. Smoke also works against the infamous PaK walls and obv RW too. Chaos unfolding, take out a key high value target and run like hell. I'm honestly surprised it's not been used more by skilled players but I guess at the moment that's due to being overshadowed by the B-4 in its current state. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Could we just delete vet 1 ML-20 smoke barrage ?. 1 Jul 2021, 17:53 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 17:25 PMSkysTheLimit Lol really? I think we get it by now Uhh it doesn't put the regular fire on cooldown... If it did it would be absolutely useless. Using smoke would be an insane waste of the unit if that were the case It's definitely useful, but for God's sake don't start saying it's OP. That irony is just too much I have been misled by an earlier forum post it seems....grrrrrr. Did some testing with it but that was with zero CDs in cheatmod so didn't notice. Sounds a bit OP then tbh (you can stop laughing when it hurts to laugh ). Very long range smoke dispenser and meanwhile Airburst is a meme ability that no one uses seriously. I suppose the cost balances it out but it actually has practical uses unlike Airburst. Don't even need to build Katys when you can smoke MGs pretty freely, regular fire in between. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Could we just delete vet 1 ML-20 smoke barrage ?. 1 Jul 2021, 15:01 PM What? Ppl complaining about a weak(?) vet 1 ability on a fixed arty piece? Where have I heard that before..... something haubitze. I think the zero scatter smoke has its uses but if it didn't put the regular fire on some kind of CD, it'd be OP. Soviet late game has never struggled vs weapons team spam (usual smoke target) due to Katyusha. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta30 Jun 2021, 18:08 PM Sure, when I can stop swearing after the RW misses for the nth time. But bear in mind that T-34/85 medium tank hordes are already a thing (Looking at you Artem and pals) and Panther will not suffice when you are already behind. AT guns are also vital for punishing excessive investment into TDs. In: COH2 Gameplay
