Thread: A more diverse set of ability for Ostheer's units17 Apr 2017, 21:51 PM If this topic doesn't get locked my suggestion for the PGs still stands: Give them an ability to repair vehicles only, whether or not for it to be locked behind vet 1 is up to the mods and balance guys. In: Lobby
Thread: An article about Relic17 Apr 2017, 21:48 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2017, 18:17 PMle_saucisson_masque guess who isn't going to buy dow3. i suggest to everyone to do same, at least not until it get a 75% discount. Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2017, 19:04 PMImagelessbean Yeah, if you didn't see DOW 3 as a simplification of the COH2 mechanics and not a push to make a deeper game, you were misled. Relic is many things, but they realize that money is made by short cash grabs, not by supporting a small but vocal base that plays all the time. I agree with both of you, I had my doubts but I still maintained high hopes upon seeing the trailers, which were of course then bashed into the ground after I saw actual gameplay. I will retain my final judgement of the game when I try it out in the open beta which runs from the 21st to 23rd but for now I won't be buying it any times soon, I made the mistake of getting the deluxe edition of CoH 2 thinking I was a loyal fan to Relic that just wanted to contribute, I was wrong.

Thread: Replacement of old EFA abilities17 Apr 2017, 21:41 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2017, 14:28 PMDangerous-Cloth How would you implement this? Like I've done with my mod? They'll basically be your T2 combat pioneers that can only repair, and if you further want to make it vehicle specific, I'd make it so you wouldn't be able to repair structures, the same as the Infantry Section repair that's only for structures. It would help with the Ostheer's lack of repair capabilities compared to everyone else and create a new synergy between the PGs and Ostheer Armor, I mean, they are PANZERgrenadiers after all. So a no vet/vet 1 repair ability that can only repair vehicles doesn't sound too bad to me, of course they won't be able to heal so you won't be able to entirely rely on them as your only infantry if you wanna go tank heavy, unless they also retain their med kits of course. Edit: And yes, it's partially due to nostalgia from CoH where I used to love PGs and the Panzer Elite there. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Replacement of old EFA abilities17 Apr 2017, 14:12 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2017, 13:14 PM0ld_Shatterhand medkits are great now, no doubt about that. But having medkits on all your Infantry is boring and lame design. At the very least Panzergrenadiers should have another ability. In my opinion, only pios and osttruppen should have medkits, to strengthen their role as Support units. Other infantry should have different abilities, to improve their role as well as their uniqueness. Same goes for Blitzkrieg. Having it on almost every tank is boring. At least Ostwind could use something else. PGs can have the ability to repair, many doctrines give the ability to conscripts to repair, plus the Soviet windustry repair post. Wehr currently has no other way of repairing except for pioneers. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Homogeneus Medium Tanks16 Apr 2017, 23:15 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2017, 21:19 PMGrumpy T34 is okay, P4 is too expensive, Cromwell probably shouldn't have crush. M10 definitely shouldn't have crush, but should probably be compensated by adding a pintle MG or HE and/or smoke shells. However, I doubt any of these things are contributing to any balance issues. Also, if you made them all the same, what would be the point? It would be just like 1995 again with Warcraft 2, where everything is mostly the same but with different skins and a few different abilities. If you remove the crush from the Cromwell and M10 you should also remove it from the Panther. There have been many cases where a Panther with Blitz/Combat Blitz made short work of blobs in front of it. And don't give me the excuse "But the Allied blobs are more OP than the Axis blobs!", you either get a fair trial or no trial at all. Plus historically the M10 and M36 had no pintle mounted MGs because of their open topped turrets, at least in most cases, plus they'd need to modify the in-game models, which believe me is not going to happen. The M18 Hellcat had a pintle mounted .50 cal on top of it's turret tho. And yes I agree that they should be kept unique, Ost P4 should be... well Idk to be honest, OKW P4 should be the best armored but slowest medium tank, the UKF Cromwell should be the fastest and hardest to hit due to it's lower profile and the Sherman... well Idk, I don't use it anymore since I got the Rifle Company commander with the sweet M4A3E8s, those things are beasts when in numbers. The T-34/76 should be the 2nd fastest and 2nd best Armor due to it's sloped Armor. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How is Mechanized Assault in 2v2?15 Apr 2017, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2017, 12:37 PMWilliam Christensen If the commander really do live up to its name like that, then maybe i'll give it a try then. Oh, and my signature? Just randomly got it on Google, that's all ‎ It... sort of does. It let's you skip tiers and have T0 assault infantry at your disposal instead of the underperforming (if you ask me) Grenadiers. Gives you Panzergrenadiers in an unarmed 250 Half-Track for an AT force to deal with vehicles as a stop gap so you can sort of skip T2 as well. The StuG is a great cheap little Assault Gun that's very good against infantry but watch out for AT weapons of any kind. Tiger is always nice to have. The only disappointing thing is the Light barrage that generally does absolutely squat but eh, you can't expect much from a commander with 4 call in units. The Panzergrenadier 250 call in could use a tweak if you ask me tho, I mean for almost 500 manpower and 30 or whatever fuel you get... I mean they're pretty mobile, but the PGs require a 120 ammo upgrade for the double Shrecks, and the 250 has paper thin armor and can't reinforce. The price should either be nerfed to like maybe 400, 450 or something of that sort manpower since the 250 all alone is pretty useless and the mobility it gives to the PGs isn't anything impressive, or the 250 should be buffed with being able to reinforce like in CoH and have an MG of some sort. That's about it, I can't really comment on most other doctrines since Mech Assault is the one I use the most as Ostheer, after that comes Osttruppen or the Western Front one with the Puma in it that also has Osttruppen. I'd go Luftwaffe but eh... too cheesy if you ask me, I mean not that it's bad or anything, but I prefer having something with call in units than just a lot of ammo based abilities. In: Lobby
Thread: How is Mechanized Assault in 2v2?15 Apr 2017, 07:05 AM Mech Assault is one of the best commanders the Ostheer has, if not the best, so it's viable in any situation if you ask me. Btw where is your signature from? In: Lobby
Thread: Churchill in next patch15 Apr 2017, 07:02 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2017, 22:47 PMShadowLinkX37 Ok add the 15 fuel for brens. They're now at 370 fuel while the scenario I put OKW at puts them at 340. Still not factoring in the 10 fuel gap at the start. Regardless OKW will either be forced into JP4 from fear or take a risk of getting a p4 and getting steamrolled when wrong if the churchill is buffed prior to the p4, rak, or brit tech is dealt with. Alright, make a custom game against the AI or your friend if you're so sure of yourself and that scenario. And of course, post the reply here. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Churchill in next patch14 Apr 2017, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2017, 21:57 PMShadowLinkX37 If you buff the churchill you'll put OKW lategame into a risky position. Churchill tech rush without side teching will cost 145 + 210 = 355 while OKW tech into T4 is 30 + 25 + 120 and then given you go P4 because it's the jack of all trades tank you have 175 + 150 = 325 and then +15 if you want to have medics, which you do. Meaning that as long as the rakatten is bugged, and the p4 is more or less useless against heavies you either roll over OKW around the 12-17 minute mark for about 5 minutes, OR OKW are forced to save for panther or go JP4 out of fear of churchill rush. Obviously this is an issue because of the lackluster rakatten, p4 and brit teching issues but this is what I think needs to be considered before ever buffing the churchill. Oh and I didn't factor in the fact brits start with 10 more fuel because reasons Kappa Good luck surviving to the late game as Brits without any side tech, especially after the nerf to their tanks.
