Thread: Hull Down rework1 Apr 2019, 22:09 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 17:48 PMSander93 Lol how is it giving a false picture when I specifically mentioned using the two abilities together to get the result I presented? You are right, it's actually 1600 effective HP. (960 : 0.75 : 0.8 = 1600) No you are still wrong Command Panzer 4 We are reducing the bonuses of the Command Panzer IV’s aura to decrease its potency around units such as the Stug G and Panther that are either incredibly cost effective with increased durability or have high durability to begin with. • Damage reduction lowered from 20% to 10% In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Hull Down rework1 Apr 2019, 17:07 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 16:39 PMSander93 Not entirely true: - Hulled Down Panther has 62.5 range. (Also a shit-ton of effective HP with Hull Down and Command Panzer buffs) - Removing Hull-Down is instant. Vehicle can move straight after disabling Hull-Down. - All infantry can put tanks into Hull Down. The biggest problem with Hull Down is simply that CoH2 tank warfare is very mobile by nature and there are very few scenarios in which you'd want to make your tanks immobile. Hull Down Panther is one of the best things in the game though, if you can make it work. 62.5 range and 1500 effective HP IIRC if you got the Command Panzer nearby and it can take on two Allied TDs. Hull down and Command panzer are separate abilities and available only to 1 commander . Giving their combine bonus creates a false picture. Also your numbers about the Panther seem to be off.

Thread: Kubel needs changes1 Apr 2019, 17:02 PM One of the issues with wheeled vehicles is that their bonus and penalties for off road and on road are simply to big. That makes their performance inconsistent at late part of the game. Specifically for kubel the unit die to easily. The HP and armor values of car should be brought in line. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hull Down rework1 Apr 2019, 15:00 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 14:16 PMSander93 That did not answer my question. I did, in addition COH is actually notoriously bad in communicating the bonuses unit get so this will hardly be any different. The in game description for Tank hunter ambush (Since you seem too lazy to check, I had to copy them): "Ambush Tactics: Anti-tank Gun crew and armored vehicles can conceal their positions and ambush the enemy" not very informative... Unit ability: ATG: "Anti-tank Gun Ambush tactics Anti-tank Gun puts Maskirokva camouflage training into practice. Toggle ability. Anti-tank Gun moves at slower speed when toggled on." not very informative... Vehicles: "Tank Ambush Tanks can hulldown their position and apply camouflage to ambush the enemy. Toggle ability. Disables movement, but allow the vehicle to camouflage itself." not very informative... Actually halldown could describe the bonuses for each vehicle allot better. Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 14:16 PMSander93 (I'm also with Katitof here, very small differences in the amount of the same bonus is not comparable to having the same ability give very different effects per vehicle. Tank ambush is simple: it gives all vehicles a First Strike bonus and severely limits their mobility - whether they get 15 or 20 sight range is irrelevant to most players.) Tank hunter ambush work differently in ATG and vehicles, it as simply as that, and it is hardly the only ability that work differently. It should not be about talking sides...and actually continuing down this path is quite pointless. PLS move on. Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 14:16 PMSander93 I also remember you were opposed to having multiple versions of the same thing earlier for the very same reason. You keep repeating this which is completely different issue. Same type of weapons (auto-cannons in this case) using different mechanics serve no purpose balance wise it is simply confusing to the user. Having custom made bonuses from an ability each helping the individual unit according to is role serves balance and it will hardly be confusing. And it now even unique. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Hull Down rework1 Apr 2019, 13:53 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 13:36 PMKatitof And yet, despite what you've said, all vehicles still are getting the same bonus, not custom tailored one. Reading comprehension: What I posted: "how do you communicate the different effects of Tank ambush in tank hunter commanders?" What you wrote: "And yet, despite what you've said, all vehicles still are getting the same bonus, not custom tailored one." and even that is also wrong: Bonuses: detection 15 for light vehicles Bonuses: Detection range to 20 for medium and heavy vehicles Now instead of trying to prove me wrong and derailing another thread, face the fact that 70% of the Elephant does not use the frontal armor, that tank hunter ambush works differently from unit to unit, pls stop putting words in my mouth and generally try be to more constructive. Bottom line in that explaining how an ability work differently in different vehicles is not really an serious issue especially if it allows to better design the ability. Now PLs lets move on.

Thread: Hull Down rework1 Apr 2019, 13:33 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 13:21 PMKatitof Hmm I don't know... oh no, I actually do know, by making it work exactly the same for all of them. Detection range is the only difference between light and medium vehicles and it doesn't change how the ability works unit to unit. Another nice theory that is completely wrong: ATG bonuses: First Strike bonuses to -25% reload, +20% accuracy, +20% penetration Vehicles bonuses: First Strike bonus: +20% accuracy, + 20% penetration, +25% reload Bonuses: detection 15 for light vehicles Bonuses: Detection range to 20 for medium and heavy vehicles Penalties Vehicles: Stops vehicle from moving, slows rotations by 85% when active Panties ATGs: -80% speed The abilities works differently according to the units type. In addition in ver 2: Tank Ambush * Tanks no longer hull down * Bush props are now visible if and only if the tank is visible * Now only assault guns can rotate while ambushing Explaining how an ability work is hardly an issue for hull-down.

Thread: Hull Down rework1 Apr 2019, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 13:06 PMSander93 How do you propose to communicate this to the player without it becoming one big incoherent mess? how do you communicate the different effects of Tank ambush in tank hunter commanders?

Thread: Elephant and Tiger are useless1 Apr 2019, 11:04 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 10:17 AMKatitof 75% of elephant hitbox being frontal armor part doesn't help either. That information is simply false. PLs provide source. In: COH2 Balance
