Thread: Upcoming Comander Update - Wishes23 Feb 2021, 17:07 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2021, 16:57 PMblvckdream Please make certain doctrines weaker so there is more variety in team games. I can't stand playing vs Jäger Armour, Artillery Regiment, both ISU doctrines, soviet airbone and both USF calliope doctrines every single game. Make more doctrines viable by nerfing OP ones. I agree and it is nice to see that my suggestions from 2018 are being suggested by other people. Some other info from the same time (so they are not update): https://www.coh2.org/topic/81491/suggestions-for-commanders-revamp https://www.coh2.org/topic/81270/commander-rework-approach In: Lobby
Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know22 Feb 2021, 16:00 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2021, 15:15 PMNorthWeapon The more you know: Pathfinders can snipe, I&R pathfinders cannot snipe. Pathfinders have an ability called pm_airborne_assassinate_shot which I&R pathfinders don't have. that is probably a singe player ability The scoped "critical" weapon weapon they use is identical thought. Pathfinder get 2 and IR get 1. Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2021, 15:32 PMNorthWeapon The more you know: Pathfinders and JLI seem to have better accuracy at far range than near range. Very interesting... Pathfinder m1 garand has F/M/N range of .92/.575/.345 while JLI g43 have 1.15/.92/.575 Can anyone confirm this with gameplay? Also Pathfinders and JLI have more sight than snipers; 50 vs. 45 The scoped "critical" weapons do have reverse DPS curve similar to LMG and are better at long range. On the other hand Pathfinder use also "elite" carbine rifles that make them pretty good a close range also while JLI use the gren k98 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback22 Feb 2021, 14:33 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2021, 14:25 PMMMX Ok went back into the editor and made a small mod to test the creeping barrage scatter again. And I'm quite confident to say that it does work as intended, i.e. first and last rockets scatter in the same way as all the other rockets in the middle do. You can test it out yourself if you're so inclined via this small mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2404458576 All it does is increase the number of rockets fired into the first and last box (the ones with the X in your pic) to 100 and remove the explosion/crater effects in order to make it easier to see where exactly the rockets impact. Nice work In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF recon plane OP20 Feb 2021, 08:49 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Feb 2021, 08:39 AMEtherealDragon It's true that OST is more RNG with AA but that's mostly because they have quantity over quality since they have Pintles as you say as well as possibly a 222 if you keep it alive for late game Recon. Any of which can randomly shoot done the plane let alone the chances if multiple are present. Either way an Ostwind's AA is more than good enough to shorten the duration of a Recon plane to counter it's effects even if that's the only AA on the map way before it encroaches on OP territory. It's not like Recon Plane has KT armor or something like OP would have you believe just because he watched one cast where Tightrope points out how useful the Recon Plane was... AA can counter loiter reckon planes. On the other hand they can not stop single pass planes like the ones US, UKF and soon OKW have stock from providing los to use off maps. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Winter patch Buglist 19 Feb 2021, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2021, 14:08 PMOlekman It's not really that messy, there are just some weird exceptions. ... That imo is messy... BAR is not LMG, it has normal DPS curve (not inverted as most LMG) and can fire on the move for all infatry. You also have to keep in mind: Osttruppen have penalties when using the LMG42 (Ro.E used to get a different version of the bren) An addition issue with the current system is that some weapon that are picked up are an actual downgrade to DPS since the default weapons of the squad are superior to weapon that is picked up. Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2021, 14:08 PMOlekman I assume that changes like that rarely are in scope for Balance Team. P aches have focused on sifting meta for too long. They should also focus on fixing things that are long overdue. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Winter patch Buglist 19 Feb 2021, 12:50 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2021, 11:51 AMOlekman I'm still certain it's just an oversight from developers and not some "grand balance foresight" of how overpowered it would be for Vickers K to be fired on the move by Allied elite infantry. Doubly so with Bren. Then again, the only Axis infantry that can fire LMGs on the move are Obersoldaten, so it's not a huge impact if OKW manages to steal one of the British weapons. All in all, avoid picking Brens with Obers, Paras, Rangers and Airborne Guards. Same with Vickers K, except you also add Commandos to that list. Imo the drop able weapon system is a bit of mess. The solution would be to divide infatry in categories (elite, mainline, support) and have weapon perform differently according to category. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: British counter barrage is broken17 Feb 2021, 09:33 AM From a design point of view I would even test replacing brace with stand fast (ability to self-repair at resources cost). The would create a mechanism that emplacement would actually cause bleed making them easier to balance instead of the current state with it all or nothing approach. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: British counter barrage is broken15 Feb 2021, 12:19 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Feb 2021, 11:55 AMUnit G17 But if you read a bit more above then you can see I commented that this doctrine should lose emplacement health/armor upgrade and be replaced with some other ability, like access to mg bunkers. This would also make balancing emplacements easier in general as there will no longer be one doctrine that makes them even stronger. It's the same deal as with trying to balance IS when there is bolster, one has to consider both states, same with regular emplacements and upgraded emplacements. Then we agree in that superior emplacements and counter barrage should not be combined in single commander... In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: British counter barrage is broken15 Feb 2021, 11:26 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Feb 2021, 09:35 AMUnit G17 Advanced Emplacements regiment should totally have this in place of CB: ... It is a step up compared to CB, but at least it would cost resources and popcap to deploy and can be killed. Not really. The design of commander with superior emplacements and counter barrage that counter the natural counter of emplacements, indirect fire is simply flawed. It has lead to making emplacement irrelevant. These is simply a bad combination that should not exist. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Zis-3 as an AT gun14 Feb 2021, 17:17 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2021, 15:05 PMMr Carmine I never said soviets dont have nades or cant get early wipes. Its on different units and in different ways. And because of it its not so easy to pull off. That vonivan can do it does not mean anybody can. Vonivan reguraly looses units on his wipe attempts. Also telling that its harder for soviets to do so, not that is unbalanced as is soviets do have other things that other factions lack. There is simply no connection between barrages and grenades, it simply faction design. In: COH2 Balance
