Thread: Manpower question24 Jan 2017, 06:50 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2017, 05:47 AMVuther It's a pretty complex stat in practice, I wouldn't be surprised if any thought of it was quickly responded with "How about no". The Manpower resource affects literally every unit in the game. A manpower income disparity is much like the higher side getting a (manpower) free infantry unit at a given point in time regardless of the enemy's efforts. We can all look back and think of times when a lost unit probably sealed a match's results. This advantage would also persist to some extent to later in the game, when a full population makes reinforcing your individual infantrymen manpower harder and probably turns manpower into the primary resource for replacing tanks. ...though doing this in some way as an upgrade is definitely a good bit more feasible. This was essentially what CoH1's Americans' Supply Yard's upgrades reducing upkeep did. Yeah but you also had Zombie Armies there, especially the Wehr, they could turn dead Volks and Pioneers into Grenadiers even without the Tier 2 building. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Glider Commandos20 Jan 2017, 16:36 PM Keep it's price but let it be repairable and both reinforce and produce new commandos in your own territory. Other than that I see commandos being used less and less, people either go Vanguard (like me) or Mobile Assault for the Infiltration Commandos that don't come in your "wooden tube" as you said and don't cost as much for being basically more or less the same unit.

Thread: Adding tanks that are not unique but blend elements?19 Jan 2017, 07:32 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2017, 00:15 AMPlanet Smasher Shouldn't existing units that are clearly underperforming, like the KV-1, be fixed before adding new stuff? Relic already have your money from that particular doctrine, why would they go back to it? Just add new commanders that the are exclusive to the playstore and can't be bought with loot points, easy money from the mindless paying for new OP shit drones that are most of this game's playerbase. If they weren't Relic wouldn't have the money to continue making bullshit decisions in their future games like for example the bubble shields and probably pay to win elite units from Dawn of War 3.

Thread: Announcer piority17 Jan 2017, 18:04 PM CoH had superior vocal notification system, your squads actually gave you feedback, when they were losing men, in heavy fighting, or laughing off shit that can't even scrach em (Puma for the Sherman and Sherman for the TIgers lol). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Vanilla factions vs DLC factions16 Jan 2017, 21:22 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jan 2017, 21:04 PMPlanet Smasher It's called asymmetric balance But I agree, EF factions are disadvantaged in that regard. They're better in other areas though. ...Right? Bullshit balance if you ask me. And lol, what Araden said, what the East does the West can do it better In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [All] Mortars & Variants16 Jan 2017, 21:17 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jan 2017, 20:20 PMJonnydodger Maybe. In my opinion mobile mortars isn't the way to go with the British. I think the pit (as it is now) needs nerfed in range, brace and possibly damage, but also made more versatile in return. However, I would suggest the idea that on the death of the pit, there is a slight chance (say, 20% chance) that an abandoned mortar is left behind. That way, you can get the mobile mortar squad, and the loss of the pit isn't felt as much (it may also have the added benefit of making it less appealing for the player to defend). So you basically want to nerf it into oblivion and then on top of adding insult to injury you want the enemy to also have a chance to capture it in a sense? I'd rather we go with my idea, it pretty much covers everything you could possibly complain about. I also thought about something else, instead of vet 1 giving some sort of range or fire rate bonus like I originally intended, you get more types of shells like in the UKF alpha, making it more versatile when garrisoned, there, happy now?

Thread: Do you enjoy playing against the AI?16 Jan 2017, 20:05 PM Hello, very nice job with the mod. A few suggestions from a fellow OKW and UKF comp stomper as well as modder: I've found myself quite a few times now preferring the old MG34 call in for the OKW to the new requirement that you have at least 1 other HQ truck on the field, and I think the T0 MG works very well for both the Wehr and Brits, so if it's not too much trouble for you, could consider removing the requirement? Also another thing, I've mentioned it a few times now, but, if possible, again, for you to give the British a mobile 3inch mortar team in their 2nd HQ building and make the mortar pit into a garrisonable emplacement for the mortars, I've done it myself and I've seen it done with other mods, from which I got the idea from. I just hate how the mortar emplacement becomes useless after the fighting around has ceased and you need to move out, and I find myself using the bofors and 17 pounder less and less, especially the 17 pounder, I pretty much never deploy it. I can even give you instructions on how to do it if you like, here's my Steam profile so you can add me: http://steamcommunity.com/id/A_Soldier/ The final suggestion I would like to propose to you was the ability for team weapons to deploy their own cover, ie either sandbags or something like the old British emplacements from CoH, since I think they're still in the game files but I think that would be pushing it and would prove to be too complex. But if you do my first 2 suggestions I would enjoy your mod even more, cheers and have a nice day. In: Lobby
Thread: Dummy minefields16 Jan 2017, 19:55 PM This gives me an idea of actually implementing more dummy stuff into the game, like in RUSE. There was even an entire British unit dedicated to making fake units of tanks and trucks in both Africa and in England prior to the Normandy landings in order to fool the Germans, and they worked quite well. Perhaps a dummy tank, to make it look like a real one, can be deployed by an engineer squad, costs 100 man power, watch the face of your enemy while he screams "OMG HACKER TANK AT 1 MIN IMPOSSIBLE!!11!!!!!!1 REPORT".

Thread: [All] Mortars & Variants16 Jan 2017, 19:53 PM People still want the British mortar emplacement, but it's hard to balance and many British players would prefer a mobile mortar. Solution? Give the Brits a T1 mobile 3-inch mortar squad, make mortar pit into a garrisonable emplacement which can be garrisoned by mortars, where they get some sort of bonus at vet 1 like the Vickers when in buildings, or just give them general protection to make it worthwhile. That covers both sectors, can be balanced similar to other mobile mortar counterparts, eliminates the "special" mortar balance and still keeps them unique in terms of faction design. In: COH2 Balance
