Thread: Commandos overnerfed26 Feb 2016, 01:06 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Feb 2016, 01:02 AMCookiezNcreem I got 30 kills in like 10 minutes during a 2v2 with commandos last night, yes, from the "Up" commando regiment glider that I also used as a reinforce point Still stronk as ever. Gammon is ridiculously good and the camo is nice. Now They aren't auto win trololol Scottish IRA Captain Price, YUri, soap and friends like they were at release, but still very strong and definitely don't need buffs. We're so close to non-shit balance, let's not mess with stuff that's not in a bad spot The problem is we don't know how they really perform, as their ambush bonus (+50% accuracy) is bugged: - It has infinite duration - But only applies to the entities that open fire first Thus, their performance is very very inconsistent. They will also feel a bit squishier this patch, as axis infantry gets to retain their accuracy vet. In: COH2 Gameplay

If you mean Buffs given by an weapon upgrade Purchase, then Yes. Sorry I've been looking at tiny text for the last several hours. Eyes are completely shot..... Cuddle down... Exactly. It's only the following 3 upgrades: - waffen_infrared_stg44 - sappers_heavy_squad_mp - tommy_pyrotechnics_supplies All of these upgrades have some bonuses which are applied to entities instead of squads. Those are very small in comparison to what you have fixed though. Good job and go get some good rest! In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: Gamebreaking veterancy bug25 Feb 2016, 16:11 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2016, 16:05 PMCieZ Wait does the British defensive vet and anvil upgrade not work at all right now? Or have these bugs been fixed previously? Unfortunately so, Ciez All of them are bugged just like the bugged offensive veterancy of all factions: - Only the models present in the squad benefit from the Vet/Upgrade when the squad attains it - As models start dying, replacement models do NOT benefit from the upgrade/veterancy This affects: - Pyrotechnic supplies (Extra vision) - Heavy Engineers (Armour bonus & Construction rate bonus -- Repair speed works fine) (Also UKF Defensive AND offensive veterancy) In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Commandos overnerfed25 Feb 2016, 12:26 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2016, 02:34 AMBeefSurge Nothing's stopping you from putting Brens on Commando squads. Brens on Commandos is a very very very bad investment to make: - In theory it sounds cool, since commando Brens deal +40%-ish more DPS and can also fire on the move - In practice, firing on the move is not that accurate at all - Also, Brens have a long aiming time, which makes them completely inapproprate for an Ambush unit - Their aiming time and DPS profile also significantly harms your squad's short-range DPS - Commandos are squishy, cost 35 MP to reinforce and also take a LOT of time to reinforce too Save your Brens for the Airlanding officer and your Sappers instead.

If you read that thread, it is actually Smith who discovered the first traces of the bug when posting a video. Then Cruzz picked up on it and investigated it further to uncover the full extent of it. Not that it really matters who found it, but credit is for both of them, you scrub. No; it was Cruzz that actually first discovered it. By the time I asked my question, Cruzz was already busy cracking the case. If we didn't have Cruzz: 1. It would probably take me at least another week to locate that something's fishy with accuracy/etc 2. Nobody would have ever noticed the other bugs that Cruzz discovered, such as: - Britsh defensive veterancy not working AT ALL - Anvil upgrade not working at all - etc, etc In: COH2 Bugs

I sure cant find it I don't know where to find it. However I #believe in Cruzz: Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 19:38 PMCruzz Commandos and Airlanding officer currently have an additional *0.25 modifier to received accuracy on retreat at vet3. Seems over the top to say the least. It's not just the smoke. From my own personal experience, it is very difficult to damage retreating Vet3 commandos with small arms fire. (just make sure you don't retreat past tanks/flak cannons though -- don't say I didn't warn you) This means you can go for some very cocky ambushes with said units once they vet up. This perfectly complements their role as a hit-and-run unit as opposed to rush-and-stomp units. Passive healing also allows you to skimp down on Tommies (given that Brits have no other healing option available). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mortars/Howies: Nerf autoattack, maybe buff barrage25 Feb 2016, 11:31 AM Actually, I'll give you a more biased example. Mines, in this game, cost around 30-60 munitions a pop. Suppose that Relic designed minelayer unit with the following utility - You are allowed to place that unit anywhere on the map - The minelayer automatically tosses free mines anywhere within 60-ish radius every X seconds - The minelayer mines deal the same amount of damage as normal mines, which also happen to require micro/a unit nearby to place My question to you is: - What would an appropriate price for that minelayer unit be? - Do you see the problem with having such a low-micro unit introduced to the game?

Thread: Mortars/Howies: Nerf autoattack, maybe buff barrage25 Feb 2016, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2016, 06:55 AMNEVEC You buying units for support, they support you. What is wrong here. Let's say you have 2 players, the "Mortar guy" and the "Victim guy". The mortar guy only ever does one thing: - she decides to allocate some manpower to buy the mortar - no significant micro investment is required from the mortar guy - free wipes (over time) Instead, the victim guy: - has no option to buy no-micro support vs the mortar guy (well, until Advanced Emplacement Regiment hits..) - instead, she needs to constantly micro her units all the time within the range of the mortar - yellow cover is automatically denied, and with no micro involved from the mortar guy The list goes on. My point is that for every other unit/ability in the game: 1) You pay a price to buy the unit 2) You need to micro the unit properly or it gets damaged/lost 3) Damaging abilities require you to be in close range, or require you to actually aim the ability 4) (sometimes) you even pay a price per activation By using mortars you are only paying for option #1. Moreover and without any micro investment you never have to worry about #2 and #3. In: COH2 Balance
