Thread: Super heavies/TD overhaul mod7 Mar 2018, 08:31 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2018, 05:16 AMjbjbjb3743 Not even touching the crocodile? The armor level of the crocodile is much lower than "super heavies" class. The idea of the mod is not to balance the whole game just to test if another approach would be viable for making both "super heavies" and "heavy Tds" work without being OP. Currently units like Su-85/ff/M36 shut down completely the PzIV since they are balance to handle the KT and that causes a number of issues. In: Modding and Tools

In order to do damage a Puma shot needs to both hit and penetrate which you have to multiply their probabilities. For instance if I use your numbers the chance of the first shot doing damage is 0.72x0.455 = 32%. So I think you calculation are a bit off. You analogy with PTRS is also a bit off since PTRS will do damage almost guaranteed since they have deflection damage and high chance to hit. In: Lobby
Thread: Super heavies/TD overhaul mod6 Mar 2018, 22:28 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 22:03 PMShadowLinkX37 I mean what would be the duration for swapping ammo. Sorry for confusion. Think around a reload, the idea is that "super AP" round are too incarcerate to be used vs normal targets so there is little reason to swap to munitions unless you are also swapping targets.

Thread: The OKW Puma6 Mar 2018, 21:05 PM A puma attacking a Pershing frontally without using aimed shot very little chance of winning even if its using "heat". The chance to both hit and penetrate are very low. Rest is RNG. An isolated incident says nothing about that balance of the unit. On another issue talking about DPS for TDs without talking about the target is very misleading. The graph included is vs a T-34/77 vs a armor with high armor value it would be completely different.

Thread: Super heavies/TD overhaul mod6 Mar 2018, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 18:39 PMShadowLinkX37 Gimme a penetration value estimate for both types of ammunition. Also swap timer. Penetration values for "super AP" around the current ones, with an accuracy around half Penetration values for normal around stug's, accuracy lower than current. The normal AP rounds are design vs mediums. One will probably have to lower the armor value of some Premium mediums like Panther/comet/Pershing. Pls clarify timers remark I am a bit new to MODing Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 18:34 PMZombiFrancis ISU? sorry forgot to include it, that had its TS increased also. The idea is the these TDs do not perform according to cost vs mediums and there is little reason to be build if the enemy is not using Super heavies. In the case of the USF and even the UKF one could lower the building price for this units since there no alternative TDs and have the "super AP" as buy-able upgrade. In: Modding and Tools

You all would be bitching about Fireflies just as much if brits had any means to snare vehicles without resorting to a PTRS squad. Brits do not have PTRS they have "Boys". Brits also have a number "of means to snare vehicles" at their disposal: Stock: Gammon bombs AEC's Target thread Snipers Critical Shot Tullips Doctrinal: Tank hunters AT grenade In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Super heavies/TD overhaul mod6 Mar 2018, 16:59 PM Halo here is the address of a little mod I am working on: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1322328190 the MOD is UNDER CONSTRUCTION This mod is not a balance MOD but a MOD aiming at fixing the serious issue of super heavy tanks performance and the performance of certain TDs. To be more specific tries to solve the issue of TDs being able to tuckle super-heavy tank while not completely shut down other vehicles. Definitions: 1) Super heavies The term is used to describe the following vehicles: King Tiger Jagdtiger Elephant ISU-152 IS-2 KV-2 2) Heavy TDs The term is used to describe vehicles specially designed to counter Super heavies. The category includes the following vehicles: Panther OKW Panther Osth M36 SU-85 Firefly Changes so far: Greatly increase the target size of the super heavies (size around 40). Equip all Heavy TD with switchable munition. One has low accuracy and high penetration and is suitable vs Super heavies. The other has normal accuracy but low Penetration and is suitable vs mediums. Reason this allow me to balance super heavies separately since only specific unit/munition are suitable against them. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: About Jacksons6 Mar 2018, 12:25 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 12:20 PMinsaneHoshi You pick the m1 over the rak because having 60 range at gun that can fire from the fow is as good at cloak. Plus reverse is better than retreat. UP to 70 range with "take Aim". Imo the 57mm become less used when "take Aim" had a mu cost attaches to it. As I pointed out at the time adding MU cost was a mistake. The ability should be free but timed with a medium duration CD and not toggle. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The OKW Puma6 Mar 2018, 09:22 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 09:08 AMJohnSmith I agree with Katitof, this is a valid point. This is also underlined by the Puma Vs Pershing video that is making its rounds around the forum. He argued that if certain commander abilities from the Elite Armor doctrines are taken into account (e.g. HEAT) and applied, the Puma may end up with good DPS against valid targets, albeit against frontally heavy tanks at max range. It is a good point! However, most Units are often used in the game in conjunction of other units and abilities, and not in a void. Sometimes RNG Gods are also to blame. Hope this helps you to comprehend his point in his post! And the Fact remains M10 has AP round Puma does not. In: Lobby
Thread: The OKW Puma6 Mar 2018, 09:02 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2018, 15:39 PMKatitof I am not sure if there is any point in this post. The facts are simple M10 has AP rounds available in its kit, Puma does not. If you want to argue that Puma is more cost efficient unit than the M10 go ahead. In: Lobby
