Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 15:19 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla KV2 We are experimenting with giving KV2 a bit more autonomy, and some ability to disengage. -Scatter offset centered around 0 (QoL) -KV-2 teardown down to 3 seconds -Capture point vet1 ability removed -Vet1 now decreases teardown to 1.5 seconds -Removed sight penalty in siege mode -0.5 deflection on both attacks -Population cap from 19 to 22 Deploy times is a bit too low. Suggested changes: 1) remove penalty while setting up 2) do not give deflection damage or keep it low to like 33% (will have deflection damage similar to Brumbar) (I have used the units allot in live and it does seem to do enough damage even without deflection) 3) Remove minimum range on siege mode or set low (5-10) 4) Changes vet 3 bonuses or add some exclusively for siege mode. (KV-2 Heavy Assault Tank Unlocks the 'Secure Mode' ability +50% weapon rotation speed, +25% direct fire range, +14.3% indirect fire +20% weapon rotation speed, offer nothing to siege mode=[+20% rotation speed, +20% speed, +20% ac/de-celeration]) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2017, 12:50 PMMr.Smith We could try giving the Elefant an HE shell that goes through a straight line and pierces everything (landscape, buildings etc). The idea for the arc is to make the ability useful in hilly terrain. We can, however, circumvent that the same way Tulips do. Now, regarding the explosion impact effect, what effects would you use to make it look more realistic? Have a high speed shell that flies diagonally upward with low angle, little arc and explodes on the air like the UKF air-bust shells. 88s where high velocity shell so the arc was far less the conventional howitzers firing low speed high angle shells.

Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 12:44 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla ISU We are experimenting with giving ISU more reliability for both its HE and its AT role. -Now has a slow-moving projectile for the HE shots (Stug-E style) -Popcap increased from 20 to 23 -Concrete piercing no longer collide with terrain (QoL) -AP rounds deflection modifier increased from 0 to 0.667 The deflection damage is simply to high at 160 damage. Combined with concrete shot the unit can deliver 400 damage with very high chance of hitting and penetrating. Suggestion: 1) Remove minimum range (or set it to very low 1-5). 2) Change concrete shot to work similarly to Pershing's shot/Tulips (arrow aim) 3) Reduce price of concrete shot to 40-50 Consider increase time to use ability.

Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 11:51 AM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2017, 11:13 AMMr.Smith It's completely fine that SU76 can hit Tigers. The new SU76 has 2 roles and 2 roles only: - Be an anti-medium tank (especially vs the Stug) - Occasionally barrage infantry It's okay if every single shot hits the Tiger. The pre-existing issue with the SU76 was that it would also penetrate every single shot. The SU76 was also hilariously inaccurate vs mediums making it bad for that role. If SU76 continues to cause issues, we'll just nerf its penetration further. Note that the SU76 now dies to 2 shots from the new Panther. The problem is not just for the Tiger it has 88% to score a "natural hit" at range 60 vs a PZ4 and that is without collision. Even vs 222 at range 60 it has 72%. Why should one invest in light vehicles if they can be hit from max range with high changes? The whole change to hit targets need to revised and have vehicle class impact the chance to hit. Tds with range above 50 should not be able to hit targets with such high accuracy. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 11:03 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla IS-2 We are experimenting with giving IS-2 higher damage vs vehicles, so that it can keep up with the new Panther. -Damage increased from 160 to 200 This damage buff actually make very little sense. VS Tiger IS-2 has better armor better damage and less Tech cost VS King Tiger Same armor a bit less damage less tech cost In addition other counter like Pak and stug are nerfed. If the Panther is meant to counter allied heavies reducing the number shot required each by one heart the Panther more than IS-2 and Panther also received a nerf. IS-2 is fine just change the Vet 1 ability. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 09:28 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla Lend-Lease Guards To make lend-lease guards more distinct from shock troops, and also make the doctrine more thematic, we are changing Assault guards loadout. -Now receive revamped Shocks grenade (equal to pre-nerf Guards) -Spawn with 2 thompsons -Can upgrade 2 additional thompsons (45MU) or a bazooka (50MU) -The squad spawn without capes, to make them easier to distinguish from vanilla Guards With the changes to M5 lower CP to 4 or 3 (similar to USF) or replace m5 with m3 halftruck similar to mechanized. Allow Assault guards to be build from base once CP level reached or once the ability has been used once. Remove trip wire and give sprint (maybe as vet ability) when Thompson has been upgraded. Alternative have them start with SVT only (or 1 bar) and allow Bar instead of Thompson upgrade. Then you get no overlap: Shock close combat, Guards long range, Lend lease Guards mid range. Thompson should have its DPS curved fixed as its mid DPS is way to high. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 08:53 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla We are reducing the shock value of AT partisans. At the samet ime, we are fixing many long-standing issues with the unit to make it more sustainable in the long-run. -Now spawn with no panzerschreck (need to buy the weapon for 70MU) -Population cap reduced from 8 to 7 -Reinforcement cost reduced from 35 to 27 -Reinforcement time reduced from 7 secs to 5 secs per model -Spawn with AT grenade on cooldown AI Partisans We are fixing multiple long-standing issues with the unit due to the nature of the unit’s ability to infiltrate. -Spawn with rifles (need to buy PPSH upgrade for 40MU) -Spawn with grenade on cooldown -Population cap increased from 4 to 6 -Reinforcement cost increased from 25 to 27 Spawn units: 1) Normalize a premium for using spawn from ambient buildings 2) allow units to built from base for no premium AT partisan: 1) Remove the penetration buff with veterancy shreck should not be better at the hands of Partisan. Partisan 2) Remove explosive grenade allow molotov with not tech. Being blown up from units that can move while cloak is not fun. PPsh upgrade for 4 men squad does not make allot of sense. Either spawn them with 4 but allow to upgrade to 6 or give them lmgs. Partisan: Remove moving while cloaked and add a veterancy bonus In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 22 May 2017, 07:42 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2017, 23:43 PMmiragefla SU 76 We find the SU76 overperforming vs late-game axis armour. To give SU-85 and SU-76 more clearly-defined roles, the SU-76 now receives accuracy improvements (to help it vs medium tanks, where SU-85 is lacklustre), and penetration reduction to reduce its performance vs heavy tanks (where the SU-85 excels). To keep SU-76 relevant for the late-game we are improving the performance of its HE barrage. -Accuracy from 0.05/0.035/0.025 to 0.06/0.05/0.04 -Penetration to 200/175/150(140?) -Barrage mid distance to 3 -Barrage mid AOE from 0.15 to 0.2 Accuracy 0.04 at range 60 is too high for a TD. It gives them 104% chance to score a "clear hit" at Tiger at that range. Chance to score a hit at that range without collision should be down to around 90%. I would further more suggest greatly lowering or completely removing the moving accuracy penalties from turretless TDs (and flanking TDS or even all) since they have to move in most cases to avoid being flanked and readjust accuracy.
