Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch9 Sep 2018, 13:41 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 13:28 PMOlekman At max range, M-42 has 60 penetration. Ostheer's Panzer IV has 180 armor (OKW's has 234). As such, only a third of your shots will penetrate. ... Hitting the rear is achieved by taking advantage of camo. First strike bonus probably also provides penetration with accuracy and reload Damage is buffed from FHQ. And once more the unit's roles is not counter mediums tanks but light vehicles up to puma/Luch. Any buff the unit receives or vet abilities/bonuses should increase the chance to truck, hit and not be circle strafed from these unit. It should work like a 6 ponder without the penetration and serve as counter to heavy light vehicles/tank strategies from the opponent. It should not be a substitute for the Zis. In: Lobby
Thread: How exactly do cover-based damage bonuses work?9 Sep 2018, 13:28 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 13:26 PMferwiner As far as I know cover bonuses are calculated in the same way as the icon that shows on the units who use them. ... As I said the cover bonus ability is sbps and no ebps and that it a squad ability and applies to all squad members. The penalties for firing on in cover come from the weapon and their cover tables and apply to entity. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch9 Sep 2018, 13:21 PM M-42 can still penetrate a PzIV both from rear/side and occasionally front/side. If you calculate the chances they are not that bad. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch9 Sep 2018, 12:02 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 11:32 AMStug life For the m 42 I would suggest 2 ability 1) ultra first strike bonus (or the vcoh1 first strike): +2000% pen and maybe a 50% buff to damage for the first shoot out of stealth or 2)target weakened point: every 2 shot against the same tank the second one has 2000% pen bonus (or after it fire the first shot give it a 2000% pen bonus for 4-5 sec if it easier to implement in the game) this would give late game utility to the m42 while not making it op vs light vehicle Actually imo it should be the other way round. M-42 should be very good against light vehicles and light tank and bellow average vs mediums. The units role has always been a stop gap and not a counter to medium tanks. The proposed changes will allow the unit to counter Super heavies.... In: Lobby
Thread: How exactly do cover-based damage bonuses work?9 Sep 2018, 10:57 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 00:53 AMStorm Elite ... Can Osttruppen and British infantry be standing on the same side of cover as the enemy and still get the damage bonus? ... Cover "status" applies when ever a unit is near cover regardless of direction Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 00:53 AMStorm Elite Also, is the bonus calculated on a per-model basis? It a sbps thus should applies to all entities even if not in cover. Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 00:53 AMStorm Elite half-tracks provide cover to the troops inside -- do they literally provide a cover modifier or just prevent projectiles from hitting the troops inside? HT provide the garrison_Cover modifier as far as I know which is separate of the Enfield for instance is 0.5/0.5. Now some weapon can damage all unit inside garrison and troops in HT probably take more damage from them. Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 00:53 AMStorm Elite And if the former, do Osttruppen get their cover-based damage modifier while in a half track? And what about when inside unorthodox garrisons such as towers? Cover bonus requires inside building and thus it should not apply inside HT for Osttruppen. (Not sure if trench is considered buildings Towers probably are buildings). In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch8 Sep 2018, 14:13 PM Tactical Support Regiment 2CP Designate Command Vehicle Ability is quite strong and the nerf to the gun do not affect all vehicles abilities. It also promotes blobbing. Auras would be allot better designed if they had to parts a small one passive and second active but timed. In addition it would be better if they scale with veterancy similarly to C. Panther. 4CP Field Recovery Operation CP of ability is too high, CP 3 would be better even CP 2 or even 1. 4CP Air Resupply Operation Ability should be available to be used in own base sector and it should be able to target any part of sector not just the flag. The ability is quite cost efficient especially compared to more expensive "Supply Drop" which also provides a lesser MG (would also be better to provide a mortar since HMG is available from T0 and one might want to skip T1) and compared to Ostheer medical supplies. Also change the name of the mortar to "Ordnance ML 3 inch mortar" so that the commander does not get a "lend lease" flavor, (if possible use the mortar pit models.) 10CP Forward Observation Post Ability CP far too high, by that time most ambient building are destroyed. It also rather expensive 300/60 for ambient while rather cheap for FRP 300 (200+100)/10. The call-in are quite powerful and all of the can be called allowing both vision and 4 different attacks which is simply overwhelming. Abilities should share global cooldown. Suggestion: Rethink the role of the ability and redesign it. Ability would be allot better if its CP was reduced to 2-4 provided intelligence (vision and minimap, maybe arty flares?) and weak indirect fire support/smoke. Reduce for the upgrade down to 150mp/40mu and allow "victor mortars barrages" from mortar pits. Maybe also allow reinforce or heal with an upgrade. 12CP Firestorm battle group "crocodile" There is little reason for this unit in another UKF commander. It can also be nasty as a Command vehicle since flamer does not seem to be affected by penalties. Suggestion: Replace with a version of valentine (no reckon abilities)as a candidate for command vehicle . If you want to increase the "lend lease" feel of the commander add the Dozer instead or simply bring back arty cover in cheaper less power version. Suggestion for crocodile: The combination of smoke and a flamer completely hard counter ATGs. Replace the ability with smoke deployed as the normal Churchills but instead of a normal smoke it creates the old commando smoke providing cover status so that the Croc can have better synergy with infantry. Make the flamer leave no DOT and adjust DPS, have DOT fire as ability (Vet1?) In: Lobby
