Thread: New suggestion for Urban Assault1 May 2019, 13:37 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 13:11 PMSander93 No they don't, they are both medium tanks with 720HP and 215 armor, meant to be used in a generalist role. The E8 just has better AT while the bulldozer Sherman has better AI. If anything the 105mm Sherman is not comparable because its only purpose is pure AI. Easy8 is mostly an AT tank. The Dozer Sherman and 105mm are allot closer with both being tough slow equipped with dozer blade. Dozer Sherman simply being superior 105 both in AI with WP and AT (105 does have deflection damage). From design point of view the unit is simply superior to 105mm making it even less disable. From a Balance point of view the unit is simply superior to the Panzer IV H. There is little reason for this ability to exist, if there is reason for a unit with such characteristics simply replace with the "105" ability. In: Lobby
Thread: New suggestion for Urban Assault1 May 2019, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 12:53 PMSander93 But what's the point in that? The current dozer upgrade gives 720HP and 215 armor and its price went up to 390 manpower / 130 fuel (Easy 8 is 380/140). The WP shell can be tweaked if it proves too effective against ATGs. There is no reason to compare the upgrade Sherman with Easy8 since it they serve different roles. If you want to compare it with something that would be the Dozer and it superior while arriving earlier. The upgrade Sherman is simply badly designed and OP compared to PzIV H. It is allot simpler to bring the Dozer to this commander. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 10:32 AMSuperHansFan These are not "core" changes vipper Core as definition means part of the central part of the faction. So doctrinal changes are outside of that. They re described as: USF - General Faction Changes And there might be changes to core units in the future. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 09:43 AM If reducing the passenger moving accuracy to the m3 is the way to go should the same be done for the M5 since it available to UKF with the new commander that have access to Thompson and are similar to cav riflemen? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 09:31 AM Su-76 The unit's XP value is simply way too low. With the new changes the unit is way to accurate once vetted. Suggestion: Increase XP value Further decrease penetration but swap accuracy bonus for a penetration bonus. Reason, the unit will be better vs light vehicles but worse vs mediums tanks but it will be able to scale vs mediums with veterancy. M5 Half-Track The unit AA capabilities is simply OP compared to any other AA weapon. The suppression mechanism is rather complicated Suggestion: Decrease AA capabilities. Replace the vet 1 ability with a timed ability that allowing suppression. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 09:25 AM Soviets - General faction changes (updated to ver. 8) Conscripts To improve the performance of Conscripts, while retaining their role as utility infantry that excel at shielding and supporting other units, we have added an upgrade to help them scale into the late game. The extra man and reduced reinforce cost will allow them to more effectively trade against opposing infantry while the veterancy bonus will help fresh Conscript squads gain veterancy. New squad upgrade available after the Mechanized Armor Kampaneya is deployed. Mobilized Reserves: Increases squad size by 1, reduces squad reinforce cost to 17 and increases veterancy gain by 20%. Takes up one weapon slot. Costs 50 munitions. When upgraded with Mobilize Reserves, weapon cooldown and reload on Mosin Nagant rifles is reduced by 50% when in cover. Range Numbers: 0/10/20/30/35 Conscript Rifle: 3.61/2.6/1.98/1.346/1.0 Conscript Rifle in Cover: 3.91/2.87/2.21/1.54/1.22 Conscript AT Grenade Package Fuel cost from 25 to 10. M1910 Maxim In order to increase the general viability of Maxims, without promoting Maxim spam, we are increasing suppression when using the Sustained Fire ability. The following change is intended to allow the Maxim to better suppress tactical control groups when the player is spotting for their Maxim and using the Sustained Fire ability in a strategic fashion. Sustained Fire ability now increases suppression by 25%. This will be adjusted as necessary. M-42 Anti-Tank Gun The range on canister rounds is being reduced to increase infantry-based counterplay against groups of M42 ATGs. Canister range from 50 to 35. Cost from 200 to 240 M5 Half-Track The M5 is receiving a small number of changes to improve its role as a support vehicle. Cost from 270/30 to 240/30 M2HB Quad mount moving burst from 0.5 to 0.75 M2HB Quad mount far accuracy from 0.1 to 0.125 M2HB Quad mount burst duration from 1/5 to 1.5/2 M2HB Quad mount Cost from 100 to 90 SU-76 The SU-76 is receiving a number of slight changes to improve its role against light and medium vehicles with only a slight reduction against heavy tanks. Accuracy from 0.05/0.035/0.025 to 0.05/0.04/0.0375 Penetration from 200/190/180 to 180/170/160 Rotation rate from 30 to 32 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 09:24 AM updated to version 8. Wehrmacht - General faction changes A number of changes have been made to a small group of underused Ostheer units to increase their viability and increase composition diversity. More details can be found below. Ostwind We’ve made some significant improvements to the Ostwind to improve its viability compared to the Panzer IV, and make it a reliable vehicle against both infantry and aircraft. Reload Frequency from 5 to 7 Scatter from 7.1 to 5.25 Cooldown from 0.5/0.7 to 0.35 Scatter offset to 0 Minimum range removed. AA chance from 17% to 24% Veterancy 2 AA chance from 24% to 40% AOE can now only hit two models max per squad. StuG III G The StuG III is being given increased mobility and a reduced target size to improve its survivability on the field against AT-based units, and to compensate for its lower range compared to other tank destroyers and fixed turret Target size from 20 to 17 Rotation rate from 22 to 28 Panzergrenadiers Panzergrenadiers are in a difficult position in the live game. We want to experiment with earlier deployment, before considering raw performance changes. Being able to fit Panzergrenadiers more easily into a build, and acquire veterancy sooner should result in more build diversity for Wehrmacht, while giving them access to a unit which can compete more readily with late-game Allied Infantry. We also want to emphasize their role as mechanized infantry, despite removing them from T2. As such, we have added the Infantry Doctrine Combined Arms passive as a stock vet 1 ability. Now available from the HQ after Battle Phase 1 Population from 9 to 8 Infantry Doctrine Combined Arms now a veterancy 1 passive. Medkits removed. Combined Arms ability now triggers when near allied vehicles. Veterancy 2 now adds +16.7% weapon accuracy. Veterancy 3 accuracy bonus from +40% to +20%. (note that split accuracy vet still results in total of +40% (current value) at vet 3 G43 upgrade cost from 60 to 25. Reinforce time from 8.5 to 7. Build time from 34 to 28. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 09:22 AM Updated to version 8 OKW General Faction Changes Kubelwagen The Kubelwagen is receiving mobility and veterancy changes to allow it to escape from other light vehicles such as the M3 and gain veterancy without needing to be on the front-line where its light armor and low health are liabilities. Rotation from 40 to 46 Speed from 7 to 7.6 Now gains shared veterancy le.IG 18 We have reduced the significant veterancy requirements on the le.IG to match its current performance. Veterancy rate from 840/1680/3360/4480/5600 to 560/1020/2040/3060/3825 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 09:20 AM Updated to version 8. UKF general faction changes 6 Pounder 6-pounder loses its 50% accuracy bonus versus light vehicles Universal Carrier The Universal Carrier is having its upgrades standardized to require the Platoon Command Post. We have also increased the price of Self-Repair so snares that hit the Universal Carrier evenly trade in terms of munitions. Armor from 7 to 5.8. Self-Repair cost from 15 to 25. Bofors Fixed an issue where the Bofors could not kill aircraft. Chance to down planes is set to 10% per round. In: COH2 Balance
