Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 13:26 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 12:22 PMgeneral_gawain It is not because Brits and OKW are just better at long range infantry combat than Soviet Counterattack Tactics which have no good long range infantry. Obviously an infantry unit that stops sprinting when getting shot at profits a lot more of the accuracy bonus if it is suited for long range combat. A short ranged unit like Shock Troops would be better off to sprint closer since they deal way less damage at medium range even with the accuracy bonus. That is a real simple logic, so be careful about calling out such things. Yes sheock troops could yolo charge with for the mother land and even get easily kill on retreat and this why the the ability changed (for every faction.) That was as you admitted that made the ability "too strong". Clayming that the ability does not benefit Soviet unit is different story thou. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 12:22 PMgeneral_gawain Regarding Penals: They don't need 15% accuracy since they hit every vehicle in this game automatically at Vet0. Should you fight infantry they get a huge accuracy bonus with Vet and Vet1 ability to the last man already. Penals are a design flaw regarding the combination of PTRS and their Vet, they are the least ones needing more accuracy. They should be vetted when FMR is available. PTRS vs vehicles is not really very relevant. Both accuracy and received accuracy bonuses coming from FMR help Penal troops perform better at all ranges. Claiming that penals do not benefit from this ability is simply false. Other support weapons get bonuses also. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 12:22 PMgeneral_gawain Regarding Maxim: If the accuracy and thus killing capability of an MG gets too strong its ability to suppress drops. Somebody around here explained that mechanism at the Vickers a while ago. The least you want is less suppression on Maxim. I'm not completely sure about the effect at Maxim suppression (how it works out). Anyways Maxims are not the main body of troops at Counterattack Tactics, a combination of Shock Troops and Penals synergizes well at this commander. But both don't really profit enough from FMR. That is like saying that HMG-42 does not benefit from AP rounds that increases accuracy (and damage) Claiming that maxims do not benefit from this ability is simply false. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 12:22 PMgeneral_gawain The only thing that does something at least. But as I said factions are different. Old FMR factored that in, the patch nerfed it in the wrong direction. Regarding Counterattack Tactics + Soviets design it should have nerfed shooting not moving. The changes was in correct direction since it no longer "press a key get squad wipes" ability and it is similar for all faction. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 12:02 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 11:41 AMgeneral_gawain Yeah you are right about that. British Assault Operation is the same also. But obviously you can't just standardize across all factions, since factions are different. At 6 CPs (timing of VA) OKW is doing good with infantry at long to medium range and profits from an infantry combat bonus. Brits on the other hand are a long range focused army from the start so they profit too, Commandos still have the option to hold fire and sprint over rough terrain with camouflage to get real close before shooting or getting equipped with double bren to be good at med to long range. The Soviet commander with FMR is focused on close combat since there are no strong long range infantry units, but strong CC units. So they suffer a lot more from this "standardization". An ability giving only sprint (From Cover to Cover / Tactical Movement) would be way better for the commander. The old FMR was good and strong (maybe too strong). The patched one is just rubbish for Soviets. That is simply false. The ability comes with 15% accuracy bonus so Penal get great far, DPS conscripts get good far DPS and maxim get excellent DPS (50% accuracy). The ability also provides 90% received accuracy so infatry take less damage on approach. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: For Mother Russia - working as intended?1 Jul 2021, 11:11 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 10:53 AMgeneral_gawain There is no standardization, it is just worse than other abilities. Which other ability cancels sprint when getting shot at? .... Valiant Assault Troops will no longer sprint when in combat (This change will also apply to For Mother Russia in the next mini patch) Radio Silence Radio Silence is receiving significant adjustments. Its speed bonus is being limited to only activate when units are out of combat. We still want to maintain the ability's purpose of hiding units from the mini-map as it fits with the commander theme and provides a different sort of effect compared to most other abilities. We do want to add counterplay, however, with the ability now giving a warning to all players when the ability activates. Speed Boost now disabled in combat For the Fatherland The duration of For the Fatherland is being increased while the combat speed bonus is being removed to match other infantry combat boosts. Duration from 30 to 45 Recharge from 60 to 90 No longer provides a speed boost In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bunkers1 Jul 2021, 11:06 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2021, 10:37 AMjagd wölfe I disagree with nerfing bunkers in general but even the simplest small grenade should be able to remove a bit of hp It happens even for vehicles Grenades vs vehicle are the same with bunkers, they either penetrate and do full damage or bounce an do none as all other weapons. Only weapon with deflection damage do damage regardless if they penetrate or not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: balance thoughts 1 Jul 2021, 09:45 AM If you are going to compare things at least post everything the abilities do before you compare them. For instance air resupply operation provides also a mortar and air drop medical supplies, 50% reinforcement and speed a speed boost. and Supply drop also provide a HMG 43. As for the HQ the Soviet aura effect infatry/support weapons and the HQ also heals. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta30 Jun 2021, 18:42 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2021, 18:09 PMEsxile I don't know how you understand that, but nan everything wrong. ... Reading this part of OP "I think atgun are currently correctly priced for what they bring individually, but the windows of opportunity to get two of them should be reduce to become part of a strategy decided by the player and not a simple usual build order because resources are here to allow it anyway." I assume that you meant that a medium tank should be available before one can produced 2 ATG. If that is not what you meant please elaborate what you mean when you write that "the windows of opportunity to get two of them should be reduce". In: COH2 Gameplay

I think atgun are currently correctly priced for what they bring individually, but the windows of opportunity to get two of them should be reduce to become part of a strategy decided by the player and not a simple usual build order because resources are here to allow it anyway. If you are suggesting that medium tank should arrive earlier that is suggestion in the wrong direction. If ones opponent invest to much in ATG gun one can simply invest in infatry and gain the advantage. If there an issue here that would would be case with Zis that not provide AT but also AI and thus it is easier for a player to invest into two zis guns. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: E8 is still trash30 Jun 2021, 12:30 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2021, 00:18 AMGrumpy I don't think it should be combined. One of the traits that Relic always seemed to want with USF is that it punches hard if you have the micro to support it. I think all Shermans should have the choice between AP and HE as a way of distinguishing them from other factions. Even if the E8 was made better, Rifle company still lack any elite abilities that would justify having it in the loadout. It doesn't have a howitzer, rocket arty, heavy tank, elite infantry, or even a off-map that would counter arty. The E8 might not be trash, but it also isn't good enough to pick this doctrine. Adding HE rounds to Easy8 would make the unit OP. The units already has a multipurpose gun that excel in the AT department and being able to also excel in AI department (even via switchblade shells) it would make the unit simply OP. Units that excel at all roles are bad for the game because one can simply win by spamming them. In addition USF Sherman's tanks already are distinguished because the have crew and half the moving penalty. Adding switchable round at all Sherman would end up reducing the number of reasons to pick one version over another. In: COH2 Balance
