Thread: Community-Patch: Further rework of Commanders?31 Mar 2018, 11:23 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Mar 2018, 08:28 AMThe amazing Chandler I get your point but this sounds like you want good commanders to get weaker and not weak commanders to get better. Well commander so should NOT be there to solve actual balance issues. For instance grenadiers currently are UP and the only reason they still work is the G43. G43 should be an option not a necessity for using grenadiers. Abilities (other than signature abilities) should be balanced without the commander in mind, and commanders should be designed with specific strong points. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Community-Patch: Further rework of Commanders?30 Mar 2018, 17:43 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2018, 16:06 PMMittens its not directed at anyone nor am I attacking anyone, just asking I did not felt attacked. This thread seems to be more civilized than the average. I simply was not sure if you where asking for a response from me, but it seems it was general question. The point I was trying to make is that for me its not about fixing a commander that is OP or UP. It is more about better balancing the commander abilities separately and better designing the commanders themselves. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Community-Patch: Further rework of Commanders?30 Mar 2018, 12:47 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2018, 12:40 PMMittens What commanders do you think are under or over preforming just out of curiosity? If the question is directed to me, I did not mention commanders that are OP or UP but commander abilities that should be brought in line. That does not mean that they should become the same since faction design is part of the power of commander abilities. Commander abilities should balanced keeping in mind the faction design, if faction X is designed to have powerful infantry the call in infantry should reflect that. (usually OP and UP commanders can be identified by the meta although some time people stick to the meta so much so that they fail to discover new things that are OP. For instance DshK was broken for a very long time before it become meta) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Community-Patch: Further rework of Commanders?30 Mar 2018, 12:11 PM Imo the rework of commander should be with another approach: 1) Check all abilities that are Op or Up and bring them inline. 2) Redesign individual commander so that they do not combine certain abilities like: Super heavies/ mainline infantry upgrades (example G43/Tiger) Super heavies/ powerful off maps (ISU-152/ IL bombing) and so on.

Thread: pzgren should be wehr's dedicated tank hunters29 Mar 2018, 16:22 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2018, 14:11 PMKatitof Which also was my point, if you managed to actually comprehend what you have read. I have said there was a strict formula, which was used for reinforcing costs and after some time it was not as strictly followed as plenty of exceptions appeard, you denied existence of the formula in the first place, I have proven you otherwise. No one ever said a word about this being advantage or not, there was a simple statement that majority of axis infantry are subjects to the exception from the rule. Is there really any point in continuing this other than an obsession to prove me wrong? My original post clearly states that their was a rule that simply does not apply any more. Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2018, 07:59 AMVipper There is no reinforcement cost reduction the rule simply does not apply. Most of the units that had their cost changed simply do not follow *the original rule of reinforcement cost* and that includes a number of allied units. You also mentioned only axis infantry being cheaper to reinforce as if it was only exclusive to them, which is actually misleading. The only reason I even bothered to reply is because you continue to put words in my mouth, pls stop it. I have no intention to reply to any more post that are irrelevant to AT PGs, so you can have the lest word if you want. In: COH2 Balance

As far as I know yes (x125%). The scatter distance max is upper limit and can not exceeded thou angular scatter should be affected normally for all values. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: pzgren should be wehr's dedicated tank hunters29 Mar 2018, 11:28 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2018, 11:13 AMJohnSmith And for the quiet reader, who is more interested about the subject that is being discussed and doesn't care about all the personal quarrels (without pointing the finger at anyone), what is the conclusion of these walls of text in a nice single summarized sentence? That Relic is moving away from the rules that tied linearly reinforcement cost, reinforcement time and build time to original cost of a unit. And that axis faction do not have an advantage because of these differences. It is also my opinion that these values should be standardized across faction according to unit type and faction design. Type could include auxiliary, mainline, support weapon, elite. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: pzgren should be wehr's dedicated tank hunters29 Mar 2018, 10:32 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2018, 09:57 AMKatitof Ok. ... You seem to need some help, so I will help you. JUNE 21st BALANCE UPDATE Penal Battalion Squad cost increased to 300 manpower from 270 manpower. [No Change in reinforcement cost] Reinforce time from 4.5 to 5.4. Build time from 27 to 32 seconds. [Built time should 30 reinforcement time should be 5] MARCH 28th UPDATE Guards Manpower cost increased from 330 to 360 [No Change in reinforcement cost or time] Assault Grenadiers Reinforce cost lowered from 28 to 26 [No Change in build cost or reinforcement time] APRIL 25th UPDATE Maxims * Reinforcement cost from 15 to 20 [No Change in build cost or reinforcement time] DECEMBER 19th "COMMUNITY" UPDATE Penal Battalions Reinforce cost from 25 to 27 [No Change in build cost or reinforcement time] Sturmpioneers Build time from 40 to 28 Reinforce time from 10 to 7 [changes do not follow the rules] Obersoldaten Cost from 400 to 340 Population from 10 to 9 Reinforce time from 12.5 to 9. Build time from 50 to 36 [changes do not follow the rules] Fixed an issue where OKW starting weapon crew stats were superior to other faction weapon crews, and on-par with mainline infantry [changes do not follow the rules] Shock Troops Reinforcement time from 6.5 to 5.5 Reinforcement cost from 33 to 31 [changes do not follow the rules] Osttruppen call-in ability now starts on cooldown. Reinforce time from 2 to 3.5 Ability recharge from 10 to 25 [changes do not follow the rules] Airborne Pathfinders Reinforce cost from 37 to 30 Reinforce time from 7 to 6 [changes do not follow the rules] I&R Pathfinders Cost from 210 to 250 Reinforce cost from 35 to 30 Squad size from 3 to 4 [changes do not follow the rules] Assault Engineers Reinforcement cost from 35 to 30 [changes do not follow the rules] Fallschirmjäger Cost from 440 to 380 Reinforce cost from 38 to 36 [changes do not follow the rules] Infiltration Commandos Cost from 440 to 370 [changes do not follow the rules] DShK 38 HMG Reinforcement cost from 15 to 20 [changes do not follow the rules] Commandos Reinforcement time from 8.5 to 7.25 [changes do not follow the rules] In other words the majority of units that had their priced changed in "community" patches no longer follows the rules. That is simply a fact and not my opinion. Now can we get back on topic instead of you making numerous posts for the sole purpose of trying to prove me wrong? In: COH2 Balance

And you are talking about an October 2015 patch. Now check guards, Shocks and Penals or hmgs or ATGs Since the "community" patches started they started moving away reinforcement cost, reinforcement time or build times rules. In: COH2 Balance
