Thread: A survey about the new 22227 Nov 2016, 15:25 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2016, 15:04 PMJackDickolson Light tanks are highly mobile and can wreck ostheer on maps like kharkov, minsk and other large maps and thus solely relying on Tellers or paks or PGrens is not desirable. Therefore Ostheer need a light tank of their own or any vehicle capable of countering the other factions' light tanks. UKF didn't have trouble against light tanks, and now they don't even need one since the PIAT is definitely the best HAT in game in the preview mod. I disagree. WM does not need a light tank, and they already have the ability to counter M20s, M15s, Stuarts, AECs, M3A1s, and T-70s. A concentrated force of some Grenadiers, a Pak, a mortar, and a 251 Halftrack for reinforcement and extra DPS is brutally hard to counter. All you have to do is push on your enemy's cutoff with force, and you will force your opponent to commit light vehicles or risk losing the tech battle, as you can get out a P4 or an Ostwind soon after your enemy has fielded a light vehicle of their own. Just watch Gentlefox play WM. If you want to use 222s to counter light vehicles, make 2 of them and use them as a reactionary force--wherever the enemy light vehicle attacks, you send in the 222s. Don't yolo-charge them in and keep them alive. The sheer HP pool and their DPM, combined with your infantry/team weapon support force your opponent to back off. The Brits actually have issues with multiple light vehicles, such as 222 spam. One AEC can be taken out by a pair of 222s, while three 222s is a certain kill as long as you don't hit a mine or yolo into a 6-prd. Therefore, Brits actually have to play quite conservatively with their AEC 2 min after it hits the field, lest a 222 wolfpack take it out. For OKW, the Puma is a pretty good unit in keeping an AEC away. The main idea is, if you negate the impact of of your enemy's light vehicle, then you have effectively stopped them from using it to gain a map control and tech advantage. Currently, the WM can do that, and the Winter Balance Preview Mod puts the 222 in a much more reasonable position. Previously it was overpowered, due to having such a low price. In: COH2 Balance

Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2016, 13:13 PMskyshark i like the idea of creating commanders in recognition of tourney winners, but elite riflemen? didn't we learn that those are a horrible idea? Elite Riflemen were removed because they affected infantry veterancy pacing. However, the version that I'm putting forward is identical to regular Riflemen, except that their Garands have an extra 10% DPS at all ranges (to make up for their 300MP cost and call-in nature). The important thing is that they have 0 sec build time. This allows you to apply far more early-game pressure, leading to easier snowballing of games. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Winter Balance Preview Changelog26 Nov 2016, 04:49 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2016, 04:02 AMTheMachine Unfortunately, changes to OKW infantry were out of scope for this patch. That's a bummer, although I it's nice to hear that Penals are still strong enough against WM infantry such as Grens and PGrens. I've only played the OKW-SOV matchup extensively enough, and they just weren't cutting it with StG Volks or G43 Fusiliers. It seems to me that supporting them with other infantry, team weapons, or vehicles will be necessary after early-game--which is when OKW excels. Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2016, 04:02 AMTheMachine G43 on PGrens is a very delicate issue. We have talked about this a lot, and we are aware that the small buff still won't be worth it most of the time. The problem is, STG's are already so damn good on Panzer Grenadiers that giving them a weapon which is even stronger would be insane, especially against squads like Conscripts. The other option is make G43's stronger at range but weaker up close compared to STG's, but that's very easy to make overpowered because mobile high damage long range squads can be blobbed and get very abusable. LMG's at least need to be stationary and are slow. I understand your point now, and how 4 G43s is a bad idea. I've tested dual JLI G43s on PGrens myself, which is insanely broken. In: Lobby
Thread: WPC Finalist Commanders Idea26 Nov 2016, 03:24 AM Some fun I had throwing these commanders together. My idea was to create commanders that would complement the way they play each faction, and not be overpowered either. I haven't watched Von Ivan and Nogganno play enough to think up of commanders for them. Feedback and idea are welcome! Cheers.

Thread: Winter Balance Preview Changelog26 Nov 2016, 03:11 AM Overall, a very good patch. It solves many of the issues the plague the current version of the game, along with a host of bugfixes and QoL changes. Cheers to Mr. Smith, Miragefla, and The Machine! Thanks for all of your hard work. Also, thanks Relic! However: Infantry - I'm concerned with Soviet core infantry scaling. Now, neither Cons nor Penals get any weapons upgrades, and thus would scale worse into the late game. - The G43 for PGrens upgrade is still not good enough. I would suggest increasing the upgrade cost and giving them 4 G43s. Same goes for Stormtroopers. - Where are the Shocks, Obers, Pfusils, and Falls adjustments? Light Vehicles - Where is the Sdkfz. 250 adjustment? Bug Fixes - Where is the Panzerfaust bugfix? - Is the leIG 18 properly buffed by Sturm Officer's aura? Quality of Life - Where is the manual force reload option? - How about Raketenwerfer firing consistency and bugfixes? In: Lobby
Thread: Winter Balance Patch: Wrong Direction?26 Nov 2016, 02:47 AM Overall, a very good patch. They fixed 90% of the issues with the live version of the game (turbomortar, light vehicle meta, etc.), and numerous bug fixes and quality of life changes. Not perfect, but definitely in the right direction. In: COH2 Balance
