Thread: vickers vs hmg4223 Feb 2016, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2016, 17:31 PMSkabinsk Vickers is high damage, low suppression. Vet one is godly in buildings MG-42 is high surpression, medium damage. MG-42 vet 1 is godly USF 50 cal (largest bullet) garbage damage and suppression, dies to everything Maxim lol 6 man crews MG-34 at least it has godly vet 1 and cheapest MG 50cal is the worst of the worst when it comes to suppression. MG34 actually out-suppresses both Vickers and 50cal when it hits vet2. Neither the Vickers nor the 50cal really receive veterancy that is useful for their suppression role. Also, I thought that 50cal outdamages Vickers on an open field? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove Terminator Vet OR Buff Axis Elite23 Feb 2016, 17:04 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2016, 14:36 PMMittens Cool downs work as they apply to the model as well as LOS. The offensives stats are tied with the weapon and once it is dropped the next model doesn't get the new improved gun. That's not true either. All problematic stats are tied to the entity. The offensive stats mean that: - Whichever weapon that entity is holding will get buffed - When the vetted entity gets swaps to a new weapon, that weapon also gets buffed - When the entity drops a weapon/etc, the weapon does not retain the buff Thus: - Small squads have a very small pool of members upon which the offensive veterancy is stored (and wiped) - Slotted weapons (e.g., LMGs) automatically transfer to the oldest (most vetted member) - However, LMGs do NOT make your squad immune to losing the veterancy; once all original models have been replaced the weapon will be picked up by a newbie In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Airland Officer Buffs PPSH conscripts23 Feb 2016, 13:32 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2016, 13:23 PMKatitof I'm quite sure OKW blob officer aura doesn't affect team mates. Not sure about arty officer. So no, its definitely not like every other single aura unit in the game, each of them seems to have its own "plan" for this. OKW blob officer affects friendly units; trust me. The only thing that doesn't affect friendly units is the retreat-on-death debuff. Thus, if you are a real pro you make sure that your officer follows your friends' blobs, not your own. Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2016, 13:25 PMPablonano Both of them buff allies. Still the point isnt if its op or not, i though they patched that nearby units from USF were unaffected I remember something like that in some patch, but I'm 100% sure that this didn't have anything to do with the Airlanding Officer. That was a very long time ago, but I think it might have been that the Captains' On-Me ability does not affect other Americans; I've never tried it though (with a USF teammate). In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Airland Officer Buffs PPSH conscripts23 Feb 2016, 13:18 PM Yep. It affects ALL allied units in the vicinity. Just like every other single aura unit in the game (thankfully not the Brit Command Vehicle): https://www.coh2.org/topic/45550/bug-oversight-aura-units-buff-friendly-players-units In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Remove Terminator Vet OR Buff Axis Elite23 Feb 2016, 12:03 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2016, 10:22 AMFiresparks actually, the terminator vet is one of the few vet that's actually working. The issue with weapon bonus doesn't affect the dodging bonus. I know very well that received accuracy vet works on most units (including the Riflemen). However, what I meant is the following: 1. Offensive accuracy (which is meant to somewhat counter received accuracy) isn't applied properly 2. Since Axis infantry veterancy is more heavily oriented towards offensive veterancy, they are the ones that are affected the most by the bug 3. Losing offensive veterancy = longer firefights = fewer models lost on approach for attacker (Riflemen, shocks) = grens drop lie flies 4. Once the bug is fixed, we should expect the performance gap between Allied infantry to narrow 5. No, I don't know which way the balance will swing after the Vet bug is fixed, but I expect LMGs to be even stronger In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit Anvil Advance Warning 22 Feb 2016, 20:17 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2016, 19:18 PMCuddletronic OK, I see what you mean now. Adding to Database. Thanks I just tried it out, and I can confirm that it no longer works at all. This happens regardless of whether the territory: - is player-owned - has been capped before the upgrade was researched In launch (until the bug was introduced), all territory points would be able to benefit from the upgrade: - The upgrade would give vision over the entire capping circle - It didn't matter whether the territory was owned by an ally or not I suspect the bug must have been introduced around the time when spotting from loiters was taken away (several recon abilities were also affected in the same patch, but they have been fixed since).

Thread: Remove Terminator Vet OR Buff Axis Elite22 Feb 2016, 14:00 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2016, 13:52 PMItchyGonorrhea Where did you get that info? Can't find anything about them fixin it for this patch. Or anything more than "we're looking into it" Here: Jump back to quoted post20 Feb 2016, 01:16 AMCuddletronic I'll pass these along, the Feb Patch is locked for testing. with the exception of the Veterancy Issue Thanks This means that they are working on it. Obviously, they can't announce fixing the Veterancy bug on the patch notes, yet, until they have implemented (and tested) a fix that works. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Gamebreaking veterancy bug22 Feb 2016, 13:15 PM I just realised that the OP did not include the preamble to Cruzz's bug report, which describes some abilities that apply per-entity (and thus, are similarly bugged): Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2016, 19:09 PMCruzz Heh. Yeah, you're right. The good news is that there aren't that many effects being applied in a similar fashion, but they do exist. To name the ones that I can think of: Anvil Heavy Sapper +1 armor && construction rate (repair speed increase will stay) STG Obersoldaten +25 camo detection radius (In addition to Pyrotechnics supplies) In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Remove Terminator Vet OR Buff Axis Elite22 Feb 2016, 13:05 PM What Mittens said, basically. Cruzzi recently discovered that Veterancy actually doesn't apply correctly. Read and weep: https://www.coh2.org/topic/36347/cruzz-s-the-more-you-know/post/493034 The bug COMPLETELY wrecks British infantry, and also hits Axis infantry quite hard. (yes, Relic is already working on fixing it for the Feb 25 patch right now) In: COH2 Balance
