Thread: Improved Emplacements Commander26 Mar 2016, 20:12 PM Counterbattery in its current inception is the only reason why Base Howitzers even exist. Noone uses them normally. Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2016, 18:23 PMDomine One of the biggest mistakes was to give UKF brace. Its likely because The British Forces in CoH1 were the weakest faction in the game, cause emplacements without a Brace-like mechanic get walked over easily. You need this, or a similar mechanic to make Emplacements hold their own. Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2016, 18:23 PMDomine We have a faction called Ostheer that's supposed to be pure defensive. Ostheer has always been themed around its Support Weapons. Its HMG, Mortar, Sniper, AT Gun are all amazing compared to Allied equivalents. It also gets the non-doctrinal Panzerwerfer. Its still a defensive faction. It suffers from commander bloat and too many aggressive commanders. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets - Too Strong26 Mar 2016, 17:55 PM Maxims are overperforming, yet the entire rest of the faction is underperforming. Especially the T-34/76. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Improved Emplacements Commander26 Mar 2016, 17:50 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2016, 17:30 PMSupremeStefan i dont get it why brits have better mortars than axis this is bullshit in my opinion all alied factions needs indirect fire like USF because its hard to blob as OKW when brits use this cancer emplacments What reason should Axis have better Mortars for? Either way, that commander (and emplacements in general) provide nothing but cancerous, boring gameplay. Doesn't reducing the game to only one playstyle provide boring gameplay? Symmetrical gameplay provides little tactical variety (and indirectly is a massive buff to OKW). This is why the X4 genre is much more tactical and strategical than the RTS genre. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Improved Emplacements Commander26 Mar 2016, 16:51 PM Making Emplacements Decrewable won't work. That will make the faction fall apart, because the Emplacements are such an integral part of the faction's framework. The only way British players will play other Commanders, is if those commanders are ACTUALLY PLAYABLE. Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2016, 15:16 PM__deleted__ Most players of all skill levels can agree we have always been having match ups that are fast paced high micro games. It's how everyone enjoyed playing the game and what entertained everyone whom watched the games. Why is this a problem exactly? Military strategy can be divided into two main functions: Offence and Defence. Before the British Empire forces were introduced; only the Offence aspect of war was present in CoH2. Now, we are able to have a Defensive play style too. Some could argue that games have been too fast paced; far far too fast paced, usually the fault of gamebreaking OKW. Back-and-Forth games show real skill. Theres still some balancing to do. But why would I pick Royal Artillery or Royal Engineers when Advanced Emplacement is there? Even if you outright remove the February commanders....Why would I pick any commander? Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2016, 16:04 PMLosttruppen (Soviets/Ostheer can't even build on map arty in their base sector but brits get it every single game without spending 600mp, waiting til 8cp, or taking any risks.) You can't compare them. The Base Howitzers are difficult to call in and are anti-synergistic with the Cover bonuses Tommies get. They can't kill anything, even squad members and they don't provide suppression. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Royal Artillery + Sexton Balance25 Mar 2016, 23:23 PM It would need its cost reduced by 75% to be just 'on par' with those changes. Its weaker than an armoured car. Sexton would need big buffs and price changes, as Doctrine is useless currently. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Royal Artillery + Sexton Balance25 Mar 2016, 22:56 PM What is the point in building a Valentine without radar abilities? It can't fight and is expensive. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Improved Emplacements Commander25 Mar 2016, 22:47 PM British Doctrines: Slightly Overperforming: Advanced Emplacements Regiment. Mobile Assault Regiment. Playable: Underpowered and Unplayable: Royal Artillery Regiment, Royal Engineer Regiment, Special Weapons Regiment, Vanguard Regiment. Reduce the slightly overperforming British commanders and make the other British Commanders actually playable! Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2016, 21:56 PMDoomlord52 Watch the game become much more dynamic. It would also be almost completely symmetrical. The british faction would need to be completely redesigned from the ground up...it'd literally just be Ostheer with none of the advantages. In: COH2 Balance
