Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: Soviets15 Jan 2021, 16:59 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 16:43 PMthedarkarmadillo ... All howitzers have AI and AT. The b4 at least with its hit and miss attitude generally means you will focus on high impact targets like tanks. But yea diving a tank for arty isn't a thing so much. And that is my point. Unless B-4 is turned into an AT gun the commander should not have howitzer as an ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: Soviets15 Jan 2021, 16:30 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 16:07 PMthedarkarmadillo I was big in arguing against the b4 in that commander, but I'm not sure if it got a change but I think it would fit now, granted there won't ever be a tank dive on it, it'll be recon and stuka bombed so I guess the point is moot. Exactly very few people would drive a tank in order kill a an artillery piece so the idea is flawed in its concept. In addition a howizter that have great AI have little place in commander themed as AT. Currently the commander is that good in AT (there better commander for that job) while it surprisingly good in killing OKW truck with combination of artillery barrage and bombing. So I would say the commander has missed it AT orientation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: OKW15 Jan 2021, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 15:51 PMSpoof Why? There were some Falls paradropped during the Ardennes offensive and the paradrop in game is cool. I like the idea of getting rid of the bundle grenade. Would take a Panzerfaust and Vet 1 Blendkorper for the Fallschirmjagers. On the topic of Luftwaffe, Valiant Assault is a dumb ability and should be reworked. For many reasons will just mention few: OKW used to have 2 infiltration units and now have none 4 men para are easy to lose during deployment It would open the road of creating a airdropped fall of ostheer commander with mode model.

Thread: Improved postmatch stats15 Jan 2021, 15:47 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 14:30 PMHannibal I mean yes you could technically test it and probably even come up with all the information. My point was more that even if you knew all the information, the information is so convoluted that it is hard to judge what to make of it. Especially if they do not count munition abilities and weapon upgrades into costs (I assume they do not by gut feeling). And even this very last piece of potential information is tossed right our the window for USF vehicles that reset every time they dismount. The whole table is pretty much useless. imo as long as one compare similar units , like ATG with ATG or infatry with infatry the report is useful. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: USF15 Jan 2021, 14:12 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 14:09 PMHannibal Ability rework idea: Defensive structures -> currently allow Rifles to builds mines and sandbags idea: - echolons gain these abilities too - MAYBE: nerf build time on Rifles to compensate Echolon troops are fairly useless as USF. Apart from sweeping they don't have much to do, especially since vet1 vehicle crews can fix engine damages by themselves. I personally rarely replace them if I lose them in the early game. Since they don't seem to get a redesign, they might at least get some more doctrinal use. I have made the same suggestion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Improved postmatch stats15 Jan 2021, 14:11 PM I guess one ca run some test and check. For instance ATG with different XP value fiirng on the same tanks and the same ATg firing on tank with different XP value could provide some idea how it being calculated. We all ready know that shot the bounce do not count. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: USF15 Jan 2021, 11:46 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 11:29 AMSmartie I get your point, maybe the Support Run should be pure AI then. This would make the ability also more distinctive to the AT p-47 attack. Thx for feedback! Glad that I could help In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: USF15 Jan 2021, 11:20 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2021, 11:06 AMSmartie If players save munitions for the air attack they cant spot for the Calliope with the recon run. This should be rewarded. I am not sure how you are suggesting that "P-47 Support run" should but the problem is that Calliope are difficult to counter and adding planes that can stop dive makes it even harder and that is simply bad design.

Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: USF15 Jan 2021, 10:37 AM Tactical support Loiter planes with calliope is a terrible idea because they can stop any dives attempt to kill calliope Heavy cavalry Ranger and Pershing should simply not be in the same commander. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: OKW15 Jan 2021, 10:33 AM Luft: Fall back in being a infiltration unit instead of airdropped one. Fire storm: MP-40 VG a separate unit instead of upgrade. incendiary round replaced by a Mortar that can fire incendiary rounds flamer merged here. Fortress redesign as defensive artillery zeroing artillery cp lower/mu cost lowered/area changed power level reduced. In: COH2 Balance
