Thread: 1 Month till February, changes within scope30 Dec 2016, 10:52 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Dec 2016, 01:19 AMokwplayer Soviet Demo Charges. PLEASE look into this. I play OKW and against a competent soviet player I have to assume that every building and point has a demo charge, or risk losing entire squads (vetted or otherwise) to a 90 munition ability. So now I have to bring a 300mp squad to counter a 170mp squad, and I have no choice but to take the minesweeper upgrade. To make things worse, since mines were nerfed into oblivion Ivan will take the flamethrower upgrade without question. This makes flank battles of Sturm vs Combat Engineer unwinnable on even terms - unless I manage to surprise him coming around the corner. It says something that my priority target in every engagement is a 170 manpower unit. Not that it matters, I kill one and they train another... I am not a Wehr player but I can see this as being less of a problem due to the cheaper pioneer. However it's still unbalanced since the mine nerf for the same reason - pioneer forced into minesweeper upgrade with combat engineer taking flamethrower as mines are cheaper just to walk infantry over Possible Solutions =========== 1. Remove Demo Charges 2. Nerf Demo Charges + Reduce Munition Cost. 3. Give Volksgrenadiers the option of the retractable minesweeper upgrade, without locking out stg44. I would be happy with all of these options, with preference being for option 3. I'm not against having a massive squad wiping bomb, but it needs cost effective counters to keep the game fluid - Option 3 would provide this without reducing game complexity. For the History Fans - did they regularly use radio detonated explosives in WW2? good god those ideas are awful.....not to be harsh but 'Okwplayer' I fear you may have a slight bias... If your opponent is able to build that many demo charges then he must have munitions points and caches. This also means he will not be spending munitions on off maps or upgrades..... Just get a sweeper (the sturmpios can put theirs away too so no loss of combat ability) and spot the demo charges. Even a couple of squads with sweepers is enough to put the idea of demo charges out of your opponents mind in the first place. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance for infiltration squads badly needed?28 Dec 2016, 10:29 AM Maybe make partisans able to upgrade with the weapons of the first squad they attack for a reduced price? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript Upgrade Concept26 Dec 2016, 12:38 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2016, 08:19 AMVipper Continuing the path of buffing Soviet stock units will only lead in nerfing their doctrinal units, making them units that are seldom used and just add flavor... We all have witnessed the problems from buffing Penal and the attempt to correct them by nerfing Guards.... Conscript might not be able to win the fights but they can win the war via attrition since the enemy needs to kill 3 for every 2 grenadier he loses just to keep up... No conscripts need a buff of some sorts. I like the idea of halving the reinforce price in the late game. In: COH2 Gameplay

Haha +1 Reading through this thread, the idea of the 'community' having any involvement would ruin the game once and for all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cromwell and Comet in the WBP16 Dec 2016, 11:10 AM UKF is a bit of a mess at the moment. Cromwell and Comet are literally holding it up in larger games. Cromwell could probably take another slight nerf. Comet is fine where it is. Especially when you look at the vet bonuses between the panther and the comet. In: COH2 Gameplay
