Thread: Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel30 Aug 2021, 12:49 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 11:31 AMleithianz Not quite. You assertively stated that "Axis infantry do not have damage reduction. There is simply separate modifier for friendly fire." Which was already countered even before you state it by test result. You have basically nothing but your experience toassertive backup your argument. Why bother to join in to the thread when you are uncertain? It seem you want to continue this on personal level so I will have to respond to you. You might have find an inconsistency in damage. According to your own post you are not sure the mechanism: Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2021, 16:35 PMleithianz ... So... I'm not sure the exact mechanism over satchel dmg over inf, but it is clear that it deals more than 80 to any allies inf. while it deals maximum of 68(according to the Korean stat site) to the Axis inf units. .... Yet both the title: "Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel" Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2021, 14:33 PMleithianz All axis inf. gets 20% dmg reduction from the explosion of Satchel Charge. So they don't OHK at full health. Unless balance team is encouraging to do ISIS style suicide bombing, why not give Allies inf also get 20% dmg reduction from the Satchel Charge? https://youtu.be/BVznJcaFlKI?t=680 You are quite assertive yourself, so I suggest you focus on your own posts and their assertiveness and not mine. In sort you have taking something that seem to be bug and posted in the balance section and in why that look more of axis/allied rant than an attempt to fix a bug, while ignoring the fact that axis do not even have access to such a weapon. As for point it does not come from my "experience" but from the knowledge of game mechanics, I do not recall a single damage modifier that protects from a single specific weapon. Now can you pls stop focusing on me and focus more on the issue? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?30 Aug 2021, 11:24 AM The main issue with scott is it ability to survive. Long range, good HP, good mobility, barrage on the move and defensive smoke make the unit difficult to counter. If one want to balance the unit one should probably first start with making easier to counter and then increase its lethality. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.30 Aug 2021, 11:20 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 09:57 AMGrim Is this prior to the G43 upgrade? No it is with the G43 upgrade. Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 10:03 AMleithianz PF G43 has 0.8 moving accuracy modifier. Which makes it exceptionally good since weapon with 0.8 moving accuracy tends to deal dmg at close range while G43 can deal decent dmg starting from mid range. Normal penal svt has 0.5 moving accuracy. So I'm assuming Vipper is trying to bring ppsh to the topic. It also has 0.8 moving accuracy modifier. Now calculated the total DPS of Penal battalion and G43 PF squad. The number should be pretty close as far as I remember. This is because a PF squad only has 3 G43 and 3 K98 that are bad on the move vs 6 SVT that all are good on the move. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel30 Aug 2021, 11:17 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 09:53 AMleithianz Please don't be assertive on the things that you are not sure of. Especially when OP already tested stuffs and posted the result. Unless you have counter-evidence to prove otherwise. ? I am not sure why insist on this, you have started a thread with the title: "Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel" implying that axis infantry have such a modifier. My point is quite simple there a 95% chance that there is not such a modifier and if there is an issue it originated from the weapon and not the infantry. Does that clarify what I have posted?

Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.30 Aug 2021, 09:54 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 09:48 AMGrim Ok, whatever the true percentage is (perhaps 90 was hyperbole) it is simply too high. A PF squad moving DPS is similar to that of Penal battalion as far as I can remember. As Percentage of the static DPS units with SMG have also very good DPS (possibly even better). Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 09:48 AMGrim PF's overperform in nearly every capacity once they are upgraded. In team games it is VERY common to see a blob of three PF's with G43 roaming about. Especially if there are not enough Soviet players to punish the blob with rocket artillery. I did not question weather PF are OP or not I simply provided the flaw in the justification. As you point out PF are good once upgraded and that has a greater impact in 1vs1 than in 4vs4. That is why I said the issue is with their design, they start weak and become strong only once upgraded.. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel30 Aug 2021, 09:48 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 09:29 AMleithianz Have you even read the previous thread? What's up with you do your test thingy? I already did all the tests, while you "claiming" there is no such thing when test shows otherwise. I'm very sick of people demanding things instead of doing himself, but here is your tests that you wanted. ... First of all it very good that you actually test things. Second I would have tested myself but since I do not have access to the game at the time I can not. Third pls try to relax I have not insulted you in any way. Fourth your original test seem to include Friend and Foe units from different factions that could explain the friendly fire damage modifiers. Now as far as I know most modifiers vs specific weapons originate from the weapons themselves and not the unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.30 Aug 2021, 09:26 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2021, 21:14 PMShadowLinkX37 This is the problem I have with the balance team right now. They refuse to nerf pfusi's, bunkers, etc because they're not an issue for them. Why? Don't know. Maybe it's because they have godly micro and don't think we're worthy of making changes because we're only top whatever, but not top 3. Maybe it's because they play in AT stacks of the best players and they're not an issue for them because they club everyone else because they can't have equal skill to their AT lineup. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see 90% DPS on the move units is pretty stupid and when they're picked every game maybe there's an issue. This 90% moving DPS is simply myth, a G43 PF unit simply does not have 90% moving DPS. G43 do have good DPS but not all entities have that the total moving DPS of the unit (that actually counts) does not actually stand out and it actually close to the cheaper Penals. The main advantage of PF lies elsewhere, it comes from the fact that their DPS drop off when losing entities is lower because the G43 transfers. (On the other hand that is the case for faction with weapons raks.) The current issue with PF is the design (both commander design and units design) and not performance. Commanders with superior armour should not have access to superior AI infantry. Alternative mainline infantry are hard to balance since they can easily end up either end up or op. Thus the focus should be more on utility and less on combat efficiency. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel30 Aug 2021, 09:02 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2021, 18:26 PMleithianz Could you please do some test before posting "I'm 100% currect" tone? Cause when I tested it as I replied earlier, axis unit does't get killed while allies unit does. Both set as an enemy. I did not question weather a enemy units take less damage or not. What I question was your interpenetration that axis infantry have a "secret" damage modifier which I am pretty sure the do not. I suggest you do the same test and use axis infantry in the same side as satchel and I am pretty sure they will get as much damage as allied infantry. This issue seem to have to do with the friendly fire modifiers and not with "axis" vs "allies" infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied inf should also have dmg reduction to AT Satchel29 Aug 2021, 18:15 PM Axis infantry do not have damage reduction. There is simply separate modifier for friendly fire. That was the case with ST as far I remember where it would wipe friendly unit and only damage enemy units. In: COH2 Balance
