Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview26 Sep 2018, 15:00 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2018, 07:40 AMVipper The problem is not that Jackson can fight PzIV but that it can fight the majority of axis vehicles effectively. In the case of PzIV the problem is that the chance to hit and penetrate a PzIV is very high even at max range while it not easy to be flanked like the SU-85 or have slow ROF like FF. M-36 performance is part of the reason that M-10 which is a cost efficient unit sees little action. TD should actually be separated to those best fitted vs medium tanks and those better fitted to fight heavy tanks. It seems you are bringing this subject of M10 and Jackson in other threads, and the correct reasons why the unit is underused in the current meta have already been debated. Now if you would return to the subject of this thread, that'd be great. This reply from elchino7 which understood to your concerns still applies today: Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2018, 18:38 PMelchino7 It's not used because: 1- It's no longer a cheesy unit that at vet 0 could crush any infantry squad easily. 2- No longer a call in unit. The whole point of armor was going LT + Cpt for a strong early/mid game play, and finish it off with M10 to deal with any medium tanks. It was needed. The problem comes that different factions, have different cost/timing for unlocking their tank tech and/or are less flexible to do so. OP: i don't think M10 needs to be made a stock unit but i agree with the concept of "mid tier" unlocks which would help with the timings of certain units. OKW: i've suggested previously for a mid gap between JPIV/Ober and PIV/PV which would also help with other call ins such as Ostwind and Hetzer. USF: i guess applying the same principle is worth a try. It's no longer "free tech" but not as expensive as of now. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Generalist balance.21 Sep 2018, 14:21 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2018, 14:46 PMullumulu maybe u shouldnt only read the school history books. try to start with the british Historician Alan John Percivale Taylor.. What an utter nonsense. I am most aware of the work of AJP Taylor, (keeping it very simple for you) his work focuses on other historical triggers that may have had a strong influence over the political choices that Germany may have had. His hypothesis underlines that WW2 erupted because of Great Britain and France's policies with Germany and that certain German figures had the opportunity provided by these policies to rise to power, as population suffered. To sum it up, he does not deny what happened on the first of September '39, he points the finger at every major actor in the world around that decade, saying that things would have been different if they enacted differently. His work is still controversial, but it helped to reduce the "bad people" stereotype Germans have had. And all in one, his work is still a populist hypothesis with a strongly biased view.

Thread: Generalist balance.20 Sep 2018, 11:50 AM I think this is more of a historical debate than anything else. Relic could easily introduce flying homing goliath units with auto-targeting features and make it historically correct from within their game world. Just accept the stats and units as they are in the game, it makes everything more fun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview15 Sep 2018, 16:28 PM There's also something wrong with the turn speed of the comet, feels kinda off. Not sure how to explain it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview14 Sep 2018, 20:53 PM Geez, are you inciting a forum axis-vs-allies war or what?? You couldn't be any more wrong (and off-topic) on that subject. Just stop it, please, even mod asked you to. I enjoy reading the forums, and I'd rather read juicy discussions how the snare will affect UKF - I haven't had much chance to play with or against them in the mod yet. I would love to see how things change for UKF in the big picture of things and to read how others perceive the changes. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Relic is near bankruptcy (mod edit: allegedly)13 Sep 2018, 06:52 AM I'm not sure if this thread is worth being necro'ed out of its depth just to have more rumors spread. I still stand with my first post. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch12 Sep 2018, 09:27 AM I've tested KV-2 (playing with, and playing against). Oh boy, oh boy, they're fun units to play with and play against. You guys hit the right spot with these changes, albeit the slow shell speed that should be faster. Now all you have to do is do the same trick with the ISU152 and JT. In: Lobby
