Thread: British emplacements 17 Sep 2016, 12:01 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2016, 11:59 AMAustralian Magic What? You want to make 17 Pounder 22-24 pop cap? if you ask me 17p should not be available to hammer specialization at all. Then it could be buffed to actually become more useful for anvil... The point here is that there should be a limitation for use of emplacement and that should have more to do with pop and less with cost. This change would make fight revolve less around defending or destroying an emplacement. In addition the hammer/anvil choice should have more to with using tanks or emplacements... Another approach would be for emplacement to cost less fuel but have a fuel upkeep... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British emplacements 17 Sep 2016, 11:34 AM Currently British emplacements are considerable investment in resources and once uses make UKF play revolve around them. My suggestion would be to make them abit cheaper but increase their pop to prevent being spammed. These are examples: Mortar pit current 400 8 Suggested 300-350 10-12 AA gun current 280/30 10 Suggested 250/30 12-14 ATG current 400/75 20 Suggested 350/60 22-24 In addition going anvil could lower pop (for instance could go down to 8 for pits, 10 for AA and 14-16 for 17p) and provide other benefits making the specialization revolve around emplacements more. (corrected 17p) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Time to Kill stats17 Sep 2016, 00:23 AM Well one has to keep in mind that the Stug and Panther are firing at range 50 instead of 60. Maybe you should include the numbers, at range 50 for better comparison reasons.. It also seems that allied TDs become very efficient with veterancy In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: P.G.s a suggestion for a new vet 1 ability. 16 Sep 2016, 19:12 PM Other abilities that might work could be something inline with hammer "Vehicle Tracking" or "Tank Hunter Infantry Section Detection" or "Vehicle Detection". or some sort heal or reinforce when near tanks. Generally some ability that would increase the synergy of tanks and pgs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What's left to fix to have a fairly balanced game? 15 Sep 2016, 15:53 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Sep 2016, 15:33 PMMr.Smith ... - Commandos ambush is bugged in so many different ways, I have to write a paragraph to explain it. I am under the impression, that commandos where meant to be able to use melee weapons ("knifes") to kill enemy units and that why their ambush bonuses is "designed" as is. It should probably be redesigned completely. Imo it should work similar to FJ camo (storm trooper camo also). Having sort fuse grenades that squad wipe easily with little counter play is not helpful.

Thread: What's left to fix to have a fairly balanced game? 15 Sep 2016, 13:18 PM The number one issue, imo, is veterancy abilities, XP value and veterancy bonuses... Changes there could greatly increase diversity and help with balance allot... If for instance unit A and B both get a useful ability people will built both units units than spam just unit A...

Thread: P.G.s a suggestion for a new vet 1 ability. 14 Sep 2016, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Sep 2016, 10:48 AMMr.Smith I think going for an aura effect to improve the synergy between two unit types will be a huge mistake: - There are already many things in the game that punish non-blobbing - We don't want to further add more incentives to reward blobbing P.G.s are rather hard to blob since they are expensive they come late and takes ages to reinforce...Further more they would have to operate near a tank or vehicle to get any bonus...so i more like combined arms and not blobbing of one unit... Jump back to quoted post14 Sep 2016, 10:48 AMMr.Smith Moreover, designing an aura/ability that allows somebody to completely bypass the mechanics of cover will be a massive boost mindless a-move blobbing. Cover mechanics and bonuses are there to reward careful positioning. Well they should be able to operate behind the cover of tanks (and they can) but that needs too much macro...so this is substitute... There are plenty of abilities that provide defensive bonuses already in the game this is nothing new... Jump back to quoted post14 Sep 2016, 10:48 AMMr.Smith Finally, if you give such an aura to PGrens, what chance would anybody have of stopping a PGren blob buffed by a command P4 in open portions of the map (where you have little cover, and they get the aura; just like that, for free)? that is an issue of not having a cap to bonus a unit can have and should be addressed separately. When it comes to giving them repair or minesweeper abilities I don't think that PG should be turned into SP... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: P.G.s a suggestion for a new vet 1 ability. 14 Sep 2016, 09:14 AM Most EFA units need new vet abilities custom made for them. Imo that is an easy way to improve the game while also improving balance. For Panzer grenadiers I would suggest improving their synergy when fighting near tanks (or maybe vehicles in general) they are Panzer grenadiers after all. The bonus could include a bit more speed so they can stay close to vehicles and some defensive bonuses like yellow/green cover modifiers when being close to tanks and/or some damage reduction from explosives reducing their weakness to squad wipes.

Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know28 Jun 2016, 09:05 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2016, 23:31 PMMr.Smith ...The idea is that, given the firing angle, we can say that the concept of side armour (i.e., effective armour value that is neither equal to frontal armour nor equal to rear armour, but somewhere inbetween) actually exists in the game. ... Angle of attack and side armor are 2 different concepts since side armor is constant and angle of attack is a variable... IF you are interested in side armor you should probably try to contact AgameAnx. I am under the impression that he has created side armor in his mod...He proably know allot more on the subject anyway. In: COH2 Gameplay
