Thread: [WBP] Frequently Questioned Comments about Soviet T117 Dec 2016, 15:54 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2016, 15:40 PMMr.Smith Panzergrenadiers? Panzergrenadier best range is mid not close. Wasting time to move it close is probably not worth it because: 1) Received accuracy bonus of PG affect the fight less 2) Pgs have bad DPs on the move and there is also the timing and the resource investment in getting Pgs and the bleed issue... If you want a glasscannon unit consider lowering size to 4 or 5 since Hp is generally better than target size, equipped with a bolt action rifle to excel far and offer Lmg upgrades... I apologize if I sound critical I am not and you guys deserve congratulation for the effort you put in trying to improve the game. I am simply trying to understand the design intent so that I can make the best suggestion fitting that intent. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [WBP] Frequently Questioned Comments about Soviet T117 Dec 2016, 15:20 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2016, 15:05 PMMr.Smith Mid-long range semi-elite glasscannons. Just like all other AI-only infantry, they too get access to grenades now. Ok but can a 6 man unit actually be a glasscannon especially since it get defensive bonuses with each member lost? Can Penal actually be wiped out out by small arms fire unless extremely bad play? Since axis luck close range infantry other then pios and assault grenadiers are they not going to continue to dominate axis infantry? Shouldn't they be more weak at long or mid range? Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2016, 15:05 PMMr.Smith Anti-garrison, anti-building specialists. Molotov is really redundant here, but it's a nice touch; innit? Ok but why mix 3 different types of weapon in the same unit? You want a close combat unit give them 1 flamer 5 shock troops PPsh (about 75% weaker) Accuracy bonus does not work well flamer or PPsh so veterancy does not actually help be better in its role. Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2016, 15:05 PMMr.Smith Defensive AT infantry vs vehicle rushes. Just like other AT infantry that cost something, they also have access to grendes that can be thrown defensively. Ok but why do they need to so effective vs Heavy armor with the huge buff to deflection damage? They do 60 guaranteed damage (100% accuracy making blitzkrieg bonus ineffective and deflection damage)to medium/heavy/Super heavy tanks? Accuracy bonus does not work well with PTRs AT so veterancy does not actually help be better in its role. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [WBP] Frequently Questioned Comments about Soviet T117 Dec 2016, 15:02 PM Can we start by clarifying what is the design intent of Penals? Penals Currently in 1.3 are: No upgrades Strongest AI infantry with very good DPS at ALL ranges and anti-garrison, anti-building abilities (what is the design intent of this unit?) Penal Flamers: One of strongest mid (15-20) AI infantry with anti-garrison, anti-building abilities (what is the design intent of this unit?) Penal PTRS X2 X3 Average AI good against all vehicles from light to supper heavy due to 100% chance to hit vehicles and lots of deflection damage (what is the design intent of this unit?) And the same accuracy bonuses for all 3 units that do not help flamer and Ptrs Penals in their roles. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.3 Update17 Dec 2016, 09:38 AM Penals 1.3 Imo the new implementation of Ptrs will provide problematic. The reason are difference from other hand held AT weapon. 1) RoF. Once the target has been acquired PTRs fire faster than other AT weapons 2) Accuracy. PTRs always hits vehicles while other AT weapon miss quite often especially at max range. 3) Range. Ptrs has 5 more range than other ATW 4) Deflection. In 1.1 Ptrs deflection damage received a massive boost from 13 to 20 5) AI. PTRs remain the ATW with the best AI performance. Now the problem become blobbing with 2 penal squad one will do a guaranteed 120 damage against any vehicle at range 40. With 4 one will 240 more than a "heavy" TD that hits and penetrate again guaranteed damage. Imo the PTRs path is going to the wrong direction since it promotes heavy blobbing of infantry with hand help AT.... Flamer on Penal If I am not mistaken the PPsh's will the same as the ones used by conscript. These weapon still have allot of DPs at ranges from 10-15. The Price is also low since it very close to the price for CE flamer. Imo the only way to make this work would be: 1) Increase price to 90 2) Provide 1 flamer + 5 PPsh. The PPsh are now using shock troops ppsh profile but at around 75% DPS 3) provide a defensive bonus to help Penals close the distance could something like 1.1 armor or 0.9 target size. In this implementation Penals are unit that performs good only at close range. I would also suggest that in any case it would better for Penal generally to have their cost reduced to 280 and tone down their weapons. Even better if they come out with mosin to start with, (and even have SVT as an upgrade) This is actually the best new a have read so far: ."..., and that is better left for a veterancy spring-clean, if it ever comes." Since it my opinion that veterancy bonuses and abilities is actually the number 1 issue with the game currently. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the flamer HT is not addressed in WBP?16 Dec 2016, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2016, 15:10 PMkingdun3284 First of all, thanks for proofing that its a nerf of WASP's anti garrisoned ability in WBP. Not sure if that was the result of my test. The hmg might have died 3 sec earlier but the damage done by 2 burst in WBP was more than the ones in live... Once more FHT could see some dmg reduction although it could have the angle of fire increased a bit so that both weapon can fire on the same target when it facing that target. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why the flamer HT is not addressed in WBP?16 Dec 2016, 15:14 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2016, 15:10 PMkingdun3284 ...just forget to tone down the 251 FHT as they still remember to further nerf WASP's anti-garrisoned ability. I wouldn't mind toning down the FHT alpha damage actually but I think they will normalize all vehicle flamer at some point... I would rather DOT lasted longer and units fired slower giving more reaction time to players... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why the flamer HT is not addressed in WBP?16 Dec 2016, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2016, 12:41 PMkingdun3284 It requires 20 second(which is even worse than now) to wipe a garrisoned mg42 even keep firing on it, I cant imagime how ineffective if you just wait for the DOT to clear out the garrisoned unit. 2 burst in WPB will probably leave the hmg with very little HP less than in live. Not sure what the problem is given the difference in cost and tec cost 251 should perform better than wasp. Keep in mind that structure size is also a factor on how fast garrisoned units will die under flame attack. (in my test the wasp killed the HMG in 17 secs in WPB and 14 in live) Being able to get out of the garrison does not mean that an hmg will also be safe anyway... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 222; The best iteration16 Dec 2016, 10:47 AM The only thing wrong with the 221/222 implementation was the MU upgrade. The upgrade should cost Fuel/MP and provide defensive stat also. So 221 could be weaker and act as counter to armored vehicles/ infantry while the 222 a soft counter to light tanks. In: Lobby
Thread: Cromwell and Comet in the WBP16 Dec 2016, 09:50 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2016, 09:41 AMullumulu Counterpart? the Panther? counter means that it destroy easily ...but..the panther struggle to kill anythink..cause of it slow rate of fire. it can hunt him...but...in many cases the comet is fast enough to run away.. counter does mean that, "counter part" thou means that it closely resembles in faction and that is simply wrong. Comet is good vs all types of targets while Panther is only good vs heavily armored targets. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the flamer HT is not addressed in WBP?16 Dec 2016, 08:22 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2016, 08:16 AMEsxile I played Coh2 since years now and I actually probably manage to vet3 a M15 once or twice (thanks to the planes). A m20 vet3 is something super rare but a 251ft vet3, I consider myself playing really badly or doing something stupid with my 251 if I lost it before it reach vet3 today. The m20 and 251 (tellar) should gain experience from mine damage if that is possible that would help them vet. The build time of these mines could also go down a bit. In: COH2 Balance
