Thread: Nerfing Indirect Fire10 Jan 2018, 12:41 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2018, 11:57 AMferwiner I'll just leave here the note that before the patch allied arty had less friendly fire potential than axis one. This has been normalised in DBP, which is an overall nerf to all allied artillery pieces. How come that some still consider them too good? Read the patch notes that was not the only changes affecting arty. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know10 Jan 2018, 09:00 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2018, 06:31 AMTobis Pretty much every automatic infantry weapon has it except for lmgs. Kubel has it, m3, WC, WC51, M20 do not have it. Thompson does not have it and so on. In addition the affects of this feature are creating issues with units performance. For instance: Bars make units like Pathfinders that use scoped weapons to be able to critical more often since the damage is spread across entities. Kubel is worse at killing model of the Soviet sniper team. Complicated features like spreading damage (especially without in game information) should only be there if they serve a particular purpose and if they are consistent. Else one complicates the system for no good reason and that is bad design. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The 222's ability to counter snipers10 Jan 2018, 08:47 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2018, 06:24 AMelchino7 Didn't we already go through this situation and realise that having another munition sink early on for OH was bad. On the other hand it could be tried to be mp + fuel instead. It should be a mp+fuel instead of ammo or it could a separate vehicle one can buy. It could even be a T1 vehicle requiring T2 research so it can come out faster In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know9 Jan 2018, 18:46 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2018, 18:07 PMTobis Even if we don't understand exactly how it works, I do think it's a cool effect... Being cool is not enough for keeping it. There need to consistency on game mechanics. If a weapon profiles has it than all weapon in that profile need to have it, so that is consistency in unit behavior. That is one of current problems of the game now. Instead of keeping rules that one can understand and learn everything is "balanced" in individual basis. And that goes even to the simplest things: It used to be that, reinforcement cost followed a rule now half the units follow it, half of them do not. It used to be that, reinforcement time was related to reinforcement cost now half the units follow it, the other half do not. Chancing things on an individual basis unnecessarily complicates. One should firs look for global changes and then for individual ones. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The 222's ability to counter snipers9 Jan 2018, 17:35 PM One could reintroduce the 221 and have specialized in killing snipers...(starting with prioritizing snipers since its difficult to drive and aim) Actually it would solve many issues, since one could then make 222 more expensive and better vs light tanks (and worse vs AI if it is needed).

Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know9 Jan 2018, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2018, 15:56 PMRedT3rror I don't want to hear "re-roll" ever again! Nothing! Nichts! Nada! Niente! Rien! All you have is 1 roll wether you hit the primary target or someone else within a small radius. Each possiblity has a different probability with the primary target having the highest. find another name for it then How about "spread damage" In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know9 Jan 2018, 15:30 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2018, 15:06 PMRedT3rror Well, I admit my general statement about focus_fire being better was a bold one. Based on you experiment is 2 2 men squad fight each and only squad A has 1 weapon that rerols and each entity engage different enemy entities squad A will probably win because they will drop the enemy model faster. Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2018, 15:18 PMMr.Smith .... We don't know how focus fire works precisely, anyway. The reroll-on-miss is the most plausible theory, but a theory nonetheless. ... Maybe ask Relic? Maybe remove it from weapon that are HMG and be done with it? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know9 Jan 2018, 14:39 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2018, 13:54 PMRedT3rror I did a test with the BAR. Set damage to 1, burst to 10000 rounds, accuracy to 50% on all ranges, got a target with 1 target size and 10000hp, made sure no vet is applied. A single burst round left the target with ~50%. Then I used to 2 targets, standing next to each other. This time a single burst would not drop the hp by 50%, instead it lost about ~31% while the other model, which was not targeted, lost about ~18%. The myth of "re-rolls" is hereby debunked. Therefor guns with focus_fire enabled are superiour. The primary target however will be prioritized by weapons without focus_fire. By which modifiers the secondary targets are selected I can't say for sure - not of my interest though. Thanks for testing and sharing the result. Not sure I agree with conclusion thou, for 1% difference. You are not taking into consideration the affect it creates when more entities are involved or when you firing at very high accuracy or the affect of other factors like aoe weapons grenades, flamer and...
