Thread: Possible solution to the mortar pit problem.22 May 2016, 13:58 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2016, 03:59 AMdrChengele Actually even without the mobile mortar, just separating the mortar and the Bofors into mutually exclusive unlocks is an awesome idea. Which brings me to the following point: why would the AEC be behind an unlock anyway? I would say that the role and the effectiveness of the AEC do not require it being an exclusive in order to be balanced. In the beta its extra tech unlock may have been justified but the game has moved on a lot since then. Increase AEC cost by 50/10 if you must for timing purposes but make it always unlocked. It would have literally zero effect on gameplay, except a player could now have both the Bofors and the AEC at the same time, which I just don't see as some game breaking synergy. Yes a player could lock down a part of the map with a Bofors while harassing the other part with an AEC but the combined fuel cost of both means by the time this would be possible Axis should already have a lot of viable options to chase the AEC away Bofors or Mortar pit should be the 2 mutually exclusive upgrades. This will solve a lot of problems, as already outlined above - without the synergy of both, they will be more manageable. You want the awesomeness that is Bofors, you pay by giving up indirect fire, and vice versa. But I wouldn't mind any of the solutions outlined in this thread. I don't see how giving no indirect fire if you go Bofors would be viable. Base Howitzers would need to be able to kill something then. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panzerwerfer vs Emplacements - make it burn!22 May 2016, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2016, 11:55 AMMissCommissar That's not one dimensional counter, actually. Emplacements are defensive structures, not indirect fire units. If I would say "buff bunkers for to counter emplacements" then yes, but it would be strange. Artillery (like PW) suppoused to deal with static defences and masses of infantry. So, that's what I want - make Ostheer artillery better for doing part it's job, dealing with static defences. Of course, it would be better to fix emplacement design, that I would support first, but it's hard to fix them right in such game mechanics. I would stand for total redesign and remaking of UKF as faction, because it has a lot of illogical and ridiculous ideas, like "let's make faction with uberdefences and ubercombatunits". OKW was pretty same sometime ago and I wasn't happy about it. But UKF... it's just like they took OKW and multiplied it on 3 without any reason. That's not normal, I would like to see UKF like it was in vCoH - faction with very powerful defensive game but with enourmosly expensive offencive. Infantry, which hardly overpriced, underperforming tanks... just something bad to balance their goods! You do know the British were the weakest faction in vCoH right? It wasn't good design nor realistic. Given that UKF units aren't as good as USF or OKW units, I would think buffs would be required with this change. Brits rely on Their emplacements.

Thread: Petition to revert crushing change21 May 2016, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2016, 16:55 PMRappy I disagree. The Cromwell was over performing. To a lesser extent so was the wolverine in comparison to puma. And I'm not sure if you noticed but the t34 just received a bunch of buffs. The Cromwell is overperforming because its the first relevant Allied Medium. It still gets murdered to death by Panzershrecks, but now Faust Snare + Panzershrecks combined with huge Heavy-like size means its impossible to use its speed advantage. I don't understand why you compare a Tank to an Armoured Car, but the M10 is an inferior Tank Destroyer, at premium cost with no AI ability. Crush gave it a slight bit of utility. T-34 did get buffed proper at the start, but then they neutered it again, then they removed crush which is a HUGE loss of AI (despite its main gun not actually getting buffed). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: [may preview] cromwell's size nerf21 May 2016, 16:12 PM I do not understand why Cromwells are considered Sherman size now. Thats like ignoring a tank has sloped armour. Jump back to quoted post20 May 2016, 09:50 AMMyself Churchill was actually a very good tank if it was designed for WWI but pretty lousy for WWII. But that has little impact in the game. I agree with most of the the other points. I simply don't see how people can complain about the PZIV when Crom is actually more cost efficient... It had the best armour in the war and won the African front for the British, Tigers weren't worth shit against it. It was even used post-war. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Petition to revert crushing change21 May 2016, 16:02 PM T-34, Cromwell and M10 are all going to require buffs to make them relevant now that crushing is out. Volk's Fausts with Shrecks still present in OKW and no crush, plus Cromwell being one of the two biggest tanks (easy AT kills) means these are going to irrelevant units. The units are bad enough that a mechanic like crush is actually required to make them relevant. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer lategame needs a buff21 May 2016, 15:59 PM At the cost of an unplayable British Faction. The Mortar Pit and Bofors are the only things holding Brits together in the Early-Mid Game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: (may preview post first update) okw early game15 May 2016, 07:42 AM I'd be concerned at the UKF's ability to Snare, if the AA HT gets stronger against the AEC. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The mortar pit solutions suggested by the fans12 May 2016, 19:38 PM Removing brace without doing anything is going to leave the british forces with no non-doctrinal bombardment options, apart from the 25 Pounders who can't kill anything and are slow to react. They would at the minimum need a HP and defence boost. What I'd prefer is to make the Pit itself a defence with no inbuilt weapon, but the ability to deploy any on-the-field Support Weapon in it. The Pit can't be decrewed and takes damage before the support weapon does. Finally, add a Mortar. THEN Brace can be removed. In: COH2 Balance
