Thread: KotH faction winrates (up to S2E9)27 Feb 2018, 23:13 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 23:08 PMRedT3rror Certainly it must be this 140 fuel, 640 hp, 160 dmg, no ai tank whose only strength lies in a 60 range cannon with a turret... M36 is not a Tank its a Tank destroyer. Do you have a better explanation for the USF performance in the series? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KotH faction winrates (up to S2E9)27 Feb 2018, 22:54 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 22:19 PMshoegazer Yes, I guess the UKF base guns cannot be counted as indirect fire. Is that their only weakness tho? I feel that another restriction is tommies being so fragile in early game, especialy in top level where the aggresion begins very early. Imo UKF are rather unforgiving 1vs1, a single mistake can cost allot. On the other hand in 2vs2 (with another faction) they are quite strong imo. It seems that USF are quite strong thou and that seems to have allot to do with M36 being OP. Are there any stats on how many games Ostheer used doctrinal infantry or abilities (g43,camo)?

Thread: Comet27 Feb 2018, 21:27 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 18:27 PMMittens First your sturmpio argument is dumb as they are a support AT are -supposed- to be a defensive AT along with others such as PIATs -with bazookas being the exception-. AT guns are not an easy target without WP and the only AT that might be an issue is reketen but that gets cloak, good ROF, and retreat. Pak is also decent as long as you spot for it with 60 range. Implying that AT guns should spot for themselves and a lack of trying to argue for a combined arms or a rock paper scissors balance outcome is depressing and only dilutes what makes coh 'good'. The Comet can deal with enemy ATG better than the average medium/premium medium even without WP. Since it has access from Vet 0 to: 45 SR, "warspeed", smoke and grenades it can easily use smoke to close-in and grenade the ATGs. Think we agree that unless Axis AT infantry are cloaked in ambush or the Comet overextend the really are not very threatening to it. So once more I do not see why Comet need more AI since it can deal better than average with most soft targets. Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 18:27 PMMittens All of your "panther without vision is useless" is dumb as closing in with the comet means that 45 range is still firing at max range vs the panthers 50. Therefore the panther already has an edge on accuracy and pen as the fall off for pen and range calc for hit isn't as high due to closer distance for engagement. You are simply wrong: The chance of Comet scoring a "natural" hit on a Panther at range 45 is 79.2% The chance of Panther scoring a "natural" hit on a Comet at range 45 is 72.6% The chance of Comet scoring a "natural" hit on a Panther while moving at range 45 is 39.6% The chance of Panther scoring a "natural" hit on a Comet while moving at range 45 is 36.3% (You simply did not factor in the accuracy bonus of the commander and the difference in target sizes) Panther is a unit that is not in a good spot (and generally Ostheer T4). There is little point in comparing the Comet with a unit the needs tweaking. In addition imo one has to first fix/give a role to the Panther and then move to Comet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British infantry sections27 Feb 2018, 21:02 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 20:24 PMAarotron Imo bolster squad should have been tied into hammer/anvil side grade. That anvil will had 5 man bolster and hammer would have something equivelant. Im not sure what that would be. I have suggested the exact opposite, I am not a big fun of LMG squad with more than 4 entities. Hammer anvil is an option for each tier. For tier 2: Hammer get 5 men+ bren that work more like assault riflers (bars) Anvil get 4 + bonus while in cover men + Vickers K that are lmgs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 20mm Flak Emplacement not performing as intended. 27 Feb 2018, 17:44 PM According to patch notes: 20mm Flak Emplacement * Cost from 200/10 to 220/25 * Build time from 120 to 100 * Can pick-up nearby Med Kits * Now uses 251 Flak Half-track’s 20mm flak weapon * Range indicator added * Minimum range removed * Can operate at 1 man and cannot be decrewed by small arms The Soviet sniper can kill the gunners decrewing the weapon. I addition the range of the weapon seems to be 40 and not 45 as 251 flak weapon (at least according to cruzz). In: Lobby
Thread: Rear armor of some vehicles needs to be reduced27 Feb 2018, 15:16 PM Other vehicles that need different armor values: Centaur 160/80 target size 18 they are simply too high (and similar to Cromwell) For comparison reason Ostwind armor levels are 110/55 TS 22. OKW PzIV rear armor 80 this probably due to an oversight from when it could buy armored skirts. For comparison Ostheer PzIV has an armor of 90 going to 117 at vet 2. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW infantry anti-tank is not sufficient27 Feb 2018, 15:04 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 14:12 PMEsxile 5-Puma does suck ass? it pens majority of allied front medium tanks while is main function is to counter light tanks. Puma does not penetrate the majority of allied mediums frontally because it has low penetration and accuracy far and low moving modifiers. It needs to close to range 30-10 to penetrate mediums frontally and even then does 120 damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British infantry sections27 Feb 2018, 14:00 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 13:35 PMA table Comparing commandos with Jagdtigers is one thing, but with the jagdtiger you don't have to pay extra to get it on the field in the first place, like say a glider. The jagdtiger is also way more reliant on supporting units around it than the commando squad. Man seriously load the game and try the commandos. Glider is extremely cost efficient for 390 manpower you get Commandos and a reinforcement point that even work on neutral areas. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry anti-tank is not sufficient27 Feb 2018, 13:54 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 13:06 PMKatitof Amoung Mr.Smiths posts if I recall correctly. If you are lucky, you will have to go only through couple of hundred between his .org and official forum posts to find it. Since according to you there are "bazillion", you should have no trouble finding one. If you want to speak on behalf of Relic or the Modders you will have to quote them or it did not happen the same way the +25 fuel for OKW vehicles due to veterancy 5 did not happen. Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 13:09 PMJohnSmith What about you provide that quote instead of forcing others to do your bidding? It'll be more productive than luring people into having to go through MrSmiths posts one by one to just validate something that has already been debated by the modders to death. I am not forcing anyone to do anything. I post my opinion on forum and back it up with arguments. When I point out the intention of Relic I quote patch notes or other sources. Others pretend to speak on behalf of Relic and modders. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry anti-tank is not sufficient27 Feb 2018, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 12:52 PMKatitof ... Modders already explained bazillion times that OKW is not getting shrecks on volks nor its getting regular ATG, because OKW and ost are already too similar to each other post all revamps. Patch decisions are made by Relic not the moders. Can we have a quote either by Relic or the moders pls? In: COH2 Balance
