Thread: Churchill Crocodile needs adjustment24 May 2017, 14:40 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2017, 04:14 AMLoopDloop After a game I had my full health vet0 croc run up against a vet2 stug and the stug killed it. Both penetrated most of the time, but the croc deals very negligible damage to tanks. It also shot the wrong target until I got right up to it. This wasn't an empirical test, but I don't have the time to recreate it in cheat mode. Also, more health means it will take more time to repair when it gets shot a whole bunch, and this too applies to other heavy tanks. So 2 vetted TD killed a mostly AI tank...and the Problem is? Test the Croc vs a Panzer 4 which is actually a tank and not a TD. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 24 May 2017, 14:34 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2017, 14:24 PM0ld_Shatterhand When I would say its the penals fault, not the PGs. That might be also true but the fact that they actually need a reinforcement discount to become remotely efficient indicates that their original cost too high. Test them against PPsh conscript in the MOD and see how bad you will bleed. Or Test them VS Dual LMG Guards. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 24 May 2017, 14:19 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2017, 13:46 PM0ld_Shatterhand I think Panzergrenadiers are in a good spot right now. No need to change them anymore. They are viable and with the recent vet change, they also scale very well. The only things that might be candidates for a change are reinforcement time, and the g43 upgrade. But this is a matter of fine tuning, not completely changing the behavior of a unit. Considering the cost and timing of Penals PG are not cost efficient out of box. Even comparing them with duel lmg Guards their not cost efficient. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 24 May 2017, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2017, 13:21 PMGrumpy Has anyone else had a problem with launching the mod with multiple players? I've tried to host games, but always have the yellow triangle that warns that not everyone has the mod or has the same version, even when we are all subscribed. Any ideas? Restart game after downloading? In: COH2 Gameplay

There seem to be a number of other units that suffer from the same issue like: OKW AA flak emplacements Sherman HE In: COH2 Gameplay

The DOT could become an ability. That could help balance this units better. 2) One could even consider pushing the flamer upgraded to research t3 to extent the infantry play a bit more. 3)consider also increasing the arc of fire a bit toward the middle of the vehicle so it easier to fire both flamer no the same target.

We have also removed the penalty against snipers to make 222s able to deal with this unit quickly without being exposed to hostile fire for too long. -Front armour increased from 9 to 14 -Removed accuracy 0.75 penalty vs snipers The 222 remains in odd place, too late to counter light vehicles too tough vs infantry. Suggestion: The simplest solution I can thing of is reintroduce the 221. 221 can have the low price, come out fast and act as counter to snipers, m3, WC and so on. 222 can be changed into more anti-vehicle unit with 2 cm gun becoming less effective vs infantry. The 222 can be an upgrade or separate build-able unit and can even be gated with researching BP 3. Adding the option of the 221 would better help balancing the timing and strength of the units.

Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 24 May 2017, 09:59 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla Panzergrenadiers Medkits replaced with Mark Target (as Vet1 ability) Bundle grenades (affects all Axis squads) We find the wipe potential of bundle nades excessive. Therefore, we are reducing their one-hit-kill potential, while also making them more available. -Damage to 100 -AoE distance from 1.25/2.5/3.75 to 1/2.1/3.75 -AoE damage far increased from 0.25 to 0.3 -Cost from 45MU to 40MU Mark Target (new Vet1 ability): -Vehicle received accuracy increases by 1.2 (activated after a delay of 3 seconds) -Vehicle can be tracked in the fog-of-war (effective immediately) -25MU cost -60 second cooldown -20-25 second duration -Range 30 Panzergrenadier G43s -Panzergrenadiers now receive 4xG43’s for 50MU Suggestions: 1) Lower Price to 300, there is not reason for initial high cost since they get reinforcement discount. Compared to the Penal out of box they are seriously less cost efficient. 2) Lower reinforcement time which extremely high. (Actually imo the reinforcement cost/time relationship should go, reinforcement time should be related to status) 3)Have the spawn with 2 98k + 2 ST44 and allow upgrade to 2 more ST or 1+1 shreck replacing the 98k. This will allow more versatility 4)Consider Toning down g43 far DPS make it to take up all slots but give X5 g43 allowing an extra member to the squad. Squad should be around riflemen level DPS.

Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 24 May 2017, 09:14 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla The reasons why OST feels too restrictive, currently are many-fold: Like all factions, playing with call-ins is much easier than having to buy tech Other factions’ abusive meta. Since OST is a defensive, reactive, faction, it has to endure a lot. OST relying on OST armour to become proactive. T4 is too inaccessible for 1v1 use Late-game OST armour is not particularly reliable vs infantry (unless somebody can afford T4). This makes Tiger-call-in doctrines one-way for OST A small set of overpowered abilities are concentrated in the hands of few, restrictive commanders (e.g., Lightning War), leading to repetition. Imo the are also other problems: 1) There tank are supposed to have superior armor but that is totally negated by the allied TD which do damage with very high change (both high chance to score a "natural" hit and high chance to penetrate) 2) T4 offers 2 very expensive and very specialized and no main battle tank In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF M1 75mm Pack Howitzer barrage scatter bug24 May 2017, 08:10 AM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2017, 00:56 AMLoren Everyone knows it increase damage on 2 vet. However, the increase in damage is not worth getting scattering increase. 5 explosives radius on 14 scatter means only 12.7% chance to hit target, and it has only 3 barrage rounds. Obviously this means worse than before vet 2. Scatter does not actually work like that. Scattermaxdistance is not actually an indication of how mach the shell will miss but what is the upper limit of that value. Now comparing that Scattermaxdistance does not help especially with weapon that have different ranges. Keep in mind that Pak howi has 160 range and the bigger the range the higher max should be. If you want the actual linear deviation, you need angle_scatter that is calculated in the formula: distance/tan(90-ANGLESCATTER/2) If you want graphical representation of the scatter area check the following image.
