Thread: Volks mp40 vs stg44 vs no update23 May 2021, 10:55 AM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2021, 10:50 AMGeblobt Cause there was always something to abuse. First there was techless CommandPanther. Just go Puma+Stuka into Panther while you have to pay no fuel for T4. Then there was the owerpowered CommandTiger (timing, performance and price). But since both things got adjusted OKW has not much to abuse (besides maybe Radio Silence vs Tac map player) and you see the flaws they had since the rework. Having costly healing is no problem as long you have other positive things that overshadow this. Currently both tech paths are equally viable, but it feels kind of lacking like the old USf tech structure. If you want to go puma for lights or stuka vs support weapons you have to do without indirect fire and healing. If you want healing and indirect fire you have to neglect rocket arty and a (more or less) secured light vehicle phase. This on top of weak mainline, no groundbreaking commander and a strong counterpart (Ost) makes OKW kinda negligible. But the question is if you want to put every faction on OST/Sov level or just nerf the eastern factions. Or in addition OKW has been powercreeped by the buffs to allied factions. Patches tend to buff things more than nerf them. In: COH2 Gameplay

Just that it should be communicated to the player. Only it did not work in practice even though COH1 had far less units than COH2. When one uses multiple different mechanism one has to balance every single units against every other separately. One can achieve similar result with much simpler mechanism. In: COH2 Gameplay

From the very beginning of this thread we were commenting on the infantry type system of CoH1. Maybe it's lost in translation? COH1 infatry system is simply worse. In: COH2 Gameplay

We'll likely change them to the M4A3 versions in light of the main gun nerf. That would be MMX In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RE: COH3 Request: Bring back infantry armor types21 May 2021, 18:10 PM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2021, 17:22 PMdonofsandiego To be completely honest,... To be completely honest, I am not sure what you are talking about. COH2 never had different types of armor for infatry. Infantry simply started with armor instead of smaller targets size. In addition explosive weapon like mortar completely ignored that armor since they had superior penetration. COH1 used more complicated system and it was a nightmare for both users and developers. Although a great game consistancy in nightmare. For instance certain vehicles benefits from cover while other do not. Both decisions to use standard HP for entities and replace armor with accuracy modifier where a big improvement in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: RE: COH3 Request: Bring back infantry armor types21 May 2021, 17:09 PM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2021, 17:08 PMPip He's making a semantic argument, i guess. Technically it wasn't called "infantry armour", it was called "infantry type"... Though It's very clear what Kurobane was talking about, and it's also clear that Kuro understands the difference between "Infantry armour" (The target tables) and "Infantry armour" (Actual armour, as Shocks, Anvil REs, and vehicles possess). Again COH 1 system was much more complicated than that and thus bad. Entities had different HP Entities had different armor types Weapon where using target tables In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: RE: COH3 Request: Bring back infantry armor types21 May 2021, 17:07 PM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2021, 17:04 PMdonofsandiego Kurobane wasn't talking about CoH2. They were using a CoH2 mortar as an example to illustrate armor types in CoH1. Still there 2 different systems different armor types may offer increase protection from certain weapon, one needs to use target tables to make weapon cause more or less damage to different targets. Complicated system are not need when there easier solution. In: COH2 Gameplay
