Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 18:33 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 17:23 PMMr Carmine You got me on the grenadiers. Very good. Now how about the fact that this standardisation had the wrong impact as soviet units need to be closer to be a simaler threat. Also that basicly every axis tank has a pintle making it even easier to stop the sprinting from any direction. I am not sure what your point is. Iyo is FMR a bad ability? Iyo the other abilities of the same class are better and yes which ones? Iyo is Counterattack Tactics as weak commander that need to a buff? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 17:06 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 17:01 PMMr Carmine Yeah buffing not so great long range units long range dps is still usefull. But not nearly as usefull as buffing great long range units long range dps. His point still stands. This chance or standardisation doesnt fit the soviet faction. It has far greater negative impact then on other factions. Grenadiers volks obers for example dont suffer as much from stopping sprinting as all their weapons are lots better at max range.They will gets shot at at their prefered ranges when being forced out of sprint. At wich they do great damage with the ability active. Cons penals shocks etc dont get such an advantidge since they are short(er) range units. Their impact is far less at this moment. His idea of removing some combat bonusses in favor for movement buffs is sound. And what commander aura do grenadier have that gives them a speed boost and accuracy bonus? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 16:59 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 16:38 PMgeneral_gawain It is about 20% of the performance of the old FMR for this two units, especially for Shock Troops. Keep saying it again and again, maybe somebody will believe it. For shock troops it inferior but that change is inline with change to other similar abilities. Soviet simply did not get the sort end of the stick. For Penals that have good DPS at all ranges the ability remains useful. The ability is simply fine. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 16:38 PMgeneral_gawain I made my suggestion multiple times. The ability should focus more on movement instead off combat buffs, since the faction and the commander especially is more focused on close quarte fights. I don't want to repeat it again. It was turned from a very strong ability for the core infantry units of this commander into an ability that hardly supports this units at all. Old FMR was a little bit too strong but the design fitted the commander better than the patched FMR. The commander is not focus on close quarter fights there are commander that more focus. Shock troops are but neither KV-1, B-4, FMR or Reckon plane are "close quarter" abilities. In addition the commander is very strong and popular and does really need buffs. It still unclear to me at least what you are suggesting, do you want FMR to be changed into tactical movement? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 15:54 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 15:45 PMgeneral_gawain So I will summarize again what this thread is about, to get it away from the derail. The only way to derail it if you choose to by going personal instead of sticking to topic of this thread. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 15:45 PMgeneral_gawain The current implentation of FMR doesn't fit game mechanic of Counterattack Tactics / Soviets. Shock Troops + Penals is a core mechanic of this commander. And that is simply false both unit benefit from ability and especially Penal. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 15:45 PMgeneral_gawain old FMR: Shock Troops as a core unit of the Commander moved faster and hit harder while they were moving, even could chase down fleeing units. The ability helped a lot to cover ground and thus deal damage. Yes this was too strong, I don't want to relativize that. Penals benefitted mainly by getting their AT satchels on target with greater chance. patched FMR: Shock Troops and Penals loose moving bonus by shooting at them, it is enough if a crew member of a weapon team does it or something like a TD. This "little change" is a complete turn around from near to op to overpriced since faction/commander design was not considered. Factions/commanders that are less focused on close ranges than Soviet/Counterattack Tactics don't have this problem with similar abilities (VA at OKW/ AO at Brits). Movement buff + Shock Troops = too strong? First off all they should loose shooting while moving faster to fix the originally problem. Secondly you already have a similar situation with Thompson Ranger and Cover to Cover on one of the most popular USF commanders. Doesn't seem to be too strong. Compared to other similar abilities this one also provides bonus to support weapons including the B4 so it does fit the commander. Arguing that the ability is bad when it is not does not promote your suggestion to change it. If in you opinion FMR should be redesigned to be good specifically for shock troops make your suggestion. If you want to argue that the commander could use a different ability go ahead but the commander is strong as is and it hardly need more buffs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B41 Jul 2021, 15:32 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 15:08 PMMMX yeah i figured. let's put it this way; i'd be fine with any per squad number greater than 7. Imo unit designed as squad wipe machines are destined to be either OP or UP since the slightest change will have a great impact. It is a bad design that should be avoided. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The devs did it again... Buffed B4 into the heaven1 Jul 2021, 15:29 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2021, 00:16 AMmiragefla Here's a questions for the community as people argue about the B-4 203mm; 1. Would you prefer it to be tuned in its current iteration with stat adjustments. 3 shots with lower damage over a period of time. or 2. Revert it back to what it was. 1 high damage shot. Tuning the cooldown and the maybe reducing/removing the suppression would likely be priority on question 1. Imo what one should try to create a unique unit with unique abilities and game play instead of an ML-20 ver2. There are many way to do that, thing that one can test: Change the "wipe" machine design by adding a hard cap to entities killed Remove suppression but add other critical like: "shell shock" a debuff to entities that could effect accuracy/ROF driver/loader/commander injured Add different play style like direct AT/antibuilding fire Experiment with reducing range but allowing the gun to dismantled and rebuild. .... The aim should to create a unique with a unique design other than if get lucky I will wipe squads. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Could we just delete vet 1 ML-20 smoke barrage ?. 1 Jul 2021, 14:58 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 14:48 PMWAAAGH2000 WP smoke will be great，I still not understand why balance team think smoke barrage need VET1 and cost ammo. Maybe because the buffer the ML20 and already in the same patch? This is amusing, ML-20 get buffed and people still finds reasons to complain about the MOD team. Maybe the MOD team should simply reverse the changes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 14:54 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 14:28 PMgeneral_gawain ... The ability provides useful bonuses to: Combat engineers Conscripts Penals Sniper Shock troops Maxims Mortars Zis guns B4s claiming the opposite is simply false. To answer the the topics tittle the ability DOES work as intended. Now if you in your opinion FTM should become ability specifically designed to Shock troops ask for it, although I doubt it will happen because Shock are one of strongest infatry in game. Ranting about how Soviet one of the strongest allied got the sort end of the stick does not support your suggestion thou. In: COH2 Gameplay
