Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 18:39 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 16:48 PMTiger Baron That's what they tried when they nerfed the repair speeds and forward retreat point of the WFA and both the USF and UKF suffered the most, only when they brought the Penals to WFA level that the Soviets were actually good. So I would say that your logic is flawed and if we're looking at the reality of things the EFA should be brought up to WFA levels instead of slapping the nerf hammer on everything else and calling it a day which as time has proven was the wrong decision. I would also like to take the opportunity to say that I believe following the Age of Empires route and making the Armies/factions 90% similar would have been a hell of a lot easier to manage, design and balance instead of going the "unique" route ... and having a headache of tring to design and balance them. Everybody having mainline infantry, engineers, MGs, snipers, mortars, AT guns, Medium tanks, light vehicles, rocket arty, forward retreat points, alternative repair options and so on while having different stats, different tech structures perhaps and unique units would have made them play very differently to each other, like the factions of Age of Empires, while still having the basic tools. So in short, no, I don't agree with you that nerfing everybody down to EFA levels is the way to go, again, as time has proven, but bringing stuff up to WFA has proven to be beneficial. You are entitled to your opinion but I have to point out some thing you got wrong, at least imo. USF have not suffered from repair speed nerfs. They still have some of the best repair speed with crews. The heavy supper repairing speed was simply broken, they might have overnerfed it but it used to be broken. Part of the reason it was done was because OKW vehicles where being repaired too fast. When they brought Penals to "WFA level" they where competently and utterly broken because they combined WFA level weapons, Flamers, ourah and Soviet level veterancy bonuses combining the best of all worlds. Increasing the power level means that game becomes more about reaction time and less about strategic thinking, so it lose depth. But you are still missing my point. One has to use a benchmark and balance units around that benchmark. That benchmark is grenadiers so they can not be UP, other thing are simply OP. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank Call-Ins7 Apr 2019, 18:20 PM In real life and in game the Pershing was designed as a heavy Tank. Pershing was only considered a medium tank post war. In: COH2 Balance

As katitof said its much easier to buff one unit in wermaht than nerf all western front armies. Even if u are somehow right just think about that we have limited resources Not if that unit is the benchmark. Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 10:33 AMVipper ... Asking to buff the benchmark instead of the balancing other units around it is like asking to increase the length of the prototype meter in the National Archives, because a company made an error in measurements. ... Either one uses a benchmark or not. If ones uses a benchmark one has to calibrate everything around the benchmark. If one does not uses a benchmark pls explain how ones now if a unit is balanced or not. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 11:35 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 10:40 AMKatitof Yes, you have plenty of times. No, it still does not make sense to create an endless spiral of unforeseen consequences of nerfing everything down then ONE unit being bad at LATE GAME is the problem. If you get a flat tire, you change or fix the tire, not poke holes in all remaining ones, while stubbornly repeating like a parrot that flat tire should be benchmark for all other tires. You seem unable to understated the concept of benchmark ant thus your analogy is simply false. The current situation is like this just because a car does not move one assumes it has a flat tire. That might or might not be true. But one will get a flat tire if one does not know what is the correct pressure for his tires. So one needs to find the correct pressure for yhis tires, in other words the benchmark and make sure that all tire have the same pressure. Now pls stop repeating you personals comments "like a parrot". In: COH2 Balance

You can 'explain' it a thousand timea and it is still just your opinion. This is not my opinion this how Relic balanced the game. It is documented and I have even provided the links of the corresponding documents. Asking to buff the benchmark instead of the balancing other units around it is like asking to increase the length of the prototype meter in the National Archives, because a company made an error in measurements. If in your opinion there is a better way to balance faction pls elaborate. Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 10:09 AMSeductiveCardbordBox More generally, Ost are prefectly playable, but they rely on a couple of extremally good units to keep their gameplay in check. The MG-42 and PaK are still best in class. They still have early and easy access to fausts and the best grenades going on grens and pgrens. The shreck is still the best handheld AT for securing vehicle kills. Anybody that complains about the Brum needs to actually use it coupled with panzer tactition to murder AT guns. Its attack ground functionality is almost without compare. A few units are legitimately lackluster, but they're viable in all games and bring some of the best units in all tiers. 1v1 is their weakest showing due to the nature of infantry play in it, but whatcha gonna do. Pak is about equal to 6 pounder Light gammon bomb are equal or better than Pg grenades Brumbar is "Attack ground" functionality is about equal to Dozer which can use smoke stock In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 09:57 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 09:20 AMKatitof (that's actually vippers logic here, don't buff single up unit, nerf 15 other ones, because apparently that's easier somehow) I have clearly explained that benchmark can not be balanced around other units, but the other units need to balanced around the benchmark. Else one has to choose a new benchmark. Now pls stop twisting what I have posted, or PLS do not post about things you fail to understand. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 09:08 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 08:25 AMSander93 So in the footsteps of Ostheer we should give all factions 4 model mainline infantry that constantly gets wiped late game by all explosive weapons? That is a very weird conclusion and totally irrelevant to my point. In order to balance the game one needs to decide a power level, then create a unit at that power level and balance all other units compare to the "benchmark". That does not mean that they should all be the same. They can be better or worse taking into account cost, time, faction design...But they should be compared to the benchmark. If the "benchmark" is UP, it mean one need another benchmark or everything else is OP. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should all AT rifle have normal rifle accuracy？7 Apr 2019, 09:02 AM Imo At weapons should not be able to hit infantry. AI could could come from timed abilities increasing the AI for a limited timed. The ability could be named "take aim" and work like "hit the ground" but giving AT rifles AI for the duration. this ability should limited to units like Guards and Tank hunters. In: COH2 Balance
