Thread: OKW elite armor heat rounds stats5 Nov 2017, 17:16 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 16:10 PMShadowLinkX37 In my experience using HEAT with any AI vehicle it loses a lot of its AoE. I find that to terrible on the KT. They used to be bugged (they where explosives weapons, instead of ballistic thus they did not collide if remember correctly) but I am not sure how they fix it. If it is straight more damage and penetration as it look from the editor the AOE damage for the same distance from the explosion should be bigger. Testing in game did not indicate less AOE for KT. Note that the ability does not increase AOE radius just the damage at the distance from point of impact. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stuka dive bombing in DBP5 Nov 2017, 16:39 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 16:20 PMferwiner How does railway give little warning? It has the smoke precisely where first shell is going to hit and long time of arrival. It is the perfect example of full scale warning. If smoke justifies so much less damage, simply give smoke to the ability and adjust. (Stuka does give a sound warning which becomes louder to point of impact. one could add mini map warning) In: Lobby
Thread: Stuka dive bombing in DBP5 Nov 2017, 14:23 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 14:16 PMMr.Smith Wait what? Since when? It seem that that was incorrect, Ml20 has 400 HP same at the damage of stuka in the near AOE (3.75?). A direct hit (within of 3.75) will kill it. Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 14:07 PMLuke_512 How does it fare when compared to the IL-2 bombing that soviets get? It always stroke me that the stuka was cheaper, harder to dodge and more lethal. Don't know the full stats though. Il-2 drops 4 bombs (around 320 damage each?). A direct strike on Tiger will usally deal from 600-900 damage. While a Is-2 will take less than half damage from a stuka direct hit. In live most killing ability of the Stuka comes from a critical on infantries making it better only vs infantries ,this feature has been removed in patch. Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 14:14 PMferwiner I think its important to note that stuka dive bomb is the only off map that doesn't feature a warning smoke and so it has to be more expensive for the damage it does. Still, it should be able to one-shot artillery as long as other expensive off maps can. Railway give little warning also. In the patch if far more cost efficient ability. The man issues of Stuka dive bomb is that it is available with Elephant and has low CD (and critical that has been removed). In: Lobby
Thread: Stuka dive bombing in DBP5 Nov 2017, 14:01 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 13:59 PM__deleted__ If this is true then the ability deserves a serious buff Or a redesign, I would rather see become a doctrinal counter to emplacements having a multiplier vs such targets. In: Lobby
Thread: DBP USF thread5 Nov 2017, 13:56 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 13:53 PMEsxile If something was going wrong in that configuration, we would been already seeing it anytime one of the doctrine having FT was picked, which is not the case. Test in DBP where RE can easily pin with bar and burn enemy to cinder with the flamer... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Stuka dive bombing in DBP5 Nov 2017, 13:55 PM Path notes The stuka dive bombing in the patch is not cost efficient: Compared to railway artillery it get 1 shot of 400 vs 3 shot of 600 damage (x450% more damage potential), has a smaller Kill AOE (damage 80). The have the same cost and CP, and Railway artillery. ~~It can not kill a artillery piece (only decrew it~~) while cheaper abilities can and does little damage to emplacements that can survive direct his unbraced.

Thread: DBP USF thread5 Nov 2017, 13:06 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 12:40 PMEsxile I don't see your point. My proposal is to replace smoke nade by flamethrower, not to gives them both stock. Stock flamers doubled equipped with bars, easy access to smoke (from mortar and riflemen) and 5 member at vet 3 what, I wonder what could possibly go wrong? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: DBP USF thread5 Nov 2017, 11:51 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 11:40 AMEsxile Would be great to not have to. Out of the 8 USF doctrines 3 have access to flamers and another 2 to LMG, for the remaining 3 they still have access to Bar and bazookas. And they can still carry weapon and a minesweepers. That is far more weapons than EFA get. Watch Hector's replay. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: DBP USF thread5 Nov 2017, 11:05 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2017, 10:53 AMEsxile The nerf really apply for large squad, 4 men squads aren't really impacted. Pls check patch notes according to them, there are no differences between a 4 and 6 man squad when entering (might be 1 sec when exiting). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: DBP USF thread5 Nov 2017, 10:33 AM What people tent to forget is that RE benefit allot from weapon upgrades. That is mainly because in vet 1 they get a big accuracy bonus of x120% which unlike Ro.E. applies to all weapon not only their own weapons. That means that these weapon are more in the hands of RE then in the hand of riflemen (at least until both unit reach vet 3). In addition they can equip multiple weapon and even a flamer(dotrinal) and Bar or an LMG (dotrinal) and a bar. With changes in Volley fire they become extremely good in countering flanking units especially when in garrison. Finally the combination of low pop (compared to Sturm), availability of long range weapon, low XP value allows them to vest faster, with less risk the other engineering type unit and repair faster. Compared to other engineer units they far from UP. Actually in a team-game with DBP my teammate was spamming RE and it worked pretty well. And there is replay with Hector going RE only: https://www.coh2.org/topic/65064/replay-feedback-for-december-balance-patch/page/1#post_id636772 (Edit:changed to x120% at sherlock request) In: COH2 Gameplay
