He cant quit until he has the last word. I am not the one continuing the debate about airplanes guns. I have provided the facts that demonstrate that stuka become more effective in the AT role when they started using guns instead of bombs and I have moved on. On the other hand you are the one posting about me instead of skill planes. Now pls move on also because currently you are actively derailing this thread. In: COH3 Central

That is pity Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2023, 00:08 AMAngrade (Ægion) The last time I played it, Coh3 had about the same amount of unpolished as one of my own mods. Seeing how many issues in Coh3 has, it gave me a renewal in modding in Coh2. That is good In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix18 Mar 2023, 08:15 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 23:29 PMSkysTheLimit Then why mention it? The weapons were effective in tests, but in practice it was still extremely difficult to do. AA got better as the war went on too and the Ju-87 was highly vulnerable to AA. More than pretty much anything else the Germans made It wasn't impossible to do, just way more difficult than the numbers suggest Dive bombing wasn't directly effective against tanks, but it was very effective at killing or scaring away any of it's support. Which could force the tank to retreat anyway Direct fire was an effective way for planes to destroy armored vehicles in WWII it even today. Mental gymnastics will not change that.

Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix17 Mar 2023, 22:20 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 21:19 PMSkysTheLimit Those are definitely exaggerated heavily, as almost every war hero's kill counts always are. That is extremely common for soldiers stories for any country and this has been said especially for pilots in ww2 from both sides They all often exaggerated their numbers and no one could really contradict what they were saying, they were much more alone than soldiers on the ground A war hero's stories is not good evidence of that. The stuka was super successful with dive bombing against just about everything, it's direct fire effectiveness was much more debatable And on the other side American and UK AT rockets were very inaccurate and really hard to land well even on the largest German tanks. It was exaggerated on both sides I'm aware none of this matters to game balance, just think it's interesting Rudel's record is not the point. The effectiveness of stuka in the antitank role increased drastically with the version G equipped with 2 37mm guns. Diving bombing vs tanks is not actually effective for a number of reasons. The AT rockets where inaccurate that is correct but not the guns. That was also the case with Hurricane IID armed with 2 40mm guns. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix17 Mar 2023, 19:05 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 18:44 PMPatFenis Can we please stop referencing IRL examples for coh, especially when talking balance? My point is that when going after vehicles, direct fire is a good option for airplanes. That is why airplanes likes Stuka G and Henschel Hs 129 where developed in WWII and why A10 was developed after the war. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix17 Mar 2023, 18:30 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 17:57 PMSkysTheLimit IRL it was extremely difficult for planes to reliably hit tanks with direct fire. The strafe abilities in this game are much more realistic than the tracking loiters "Rudel flew 2,530 combat missions on the Eastern Front of World War II. The majority of these were undertaken while flying the Junkers Ju 87, although 430 were flown in ground-attack variants of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. He was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, severely damaging the battleship Marat, as well as sinking a cruiser (incomplete and heavily damaged Petropavlovsk), a destroyer (the Leningrad-class destroyer Minsk) and 70 landing craft. Rudel also claimed to have destroyed more than 800 vehicles of all types, over 150 artillery, anti-tank or anti-aircraft positions, 4 armored trains, as well as numerous bridges and supply lines. Rudel was also credited with 9 aerial victories, 7 of which were fighter aircraft and 2 Ilyushin Il-2s. He was shot down or forced to land 30 times due to anti-aircraft artillery, was wounded five times and rescued six stranded aircrew from enemy-held territory" In: COH3 Central
Thread: Suggestion to Moder's community17 Mar 2023, 16:44 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 16:36 PMTiger Baron Good suggestions but everybody has access to the Essence Editor so you can also do this yourself as well. From what I remember you were either a modder or balance/design suggester for CoH2 but if you're wondering where to start I also made this guide just in case - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2946936025 I have made some modes but mainly for testing (I was part of the Alpha/beta team in coh2/western front). I willing to share this idea with people who are more into modding so someone else can do this project more consistently. Think it is a good idea since among other things it will probably allow "older" save files to be played. If you are interested you can undertake this project. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Effects of VP tick rate?17 Mar 2023, 13:10 PM Imo the idea that all games in modes should be top tier vehicles fighting each other imo is wrong and difficult to balance. Certain units should be more important according to mode and late heavy tank should come late or should require larger modes to be cost efficient. Then one can have different economies for different modes that would help balance the game across the modes. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Suggestion to Moder's community17 Mar 2023, 07:58 AM Imo it would helpful if older version of the game where available so my suggestion is that each time a version is released one creates a mod version of that patch that would remain available even when a new patch is released.

Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix15 Mar 2023, 18:16 PM As I have suggested from Coh2 also loiter planes could be changed to be harder to shoot down but to become less effective when fired upon. In sort add "suppression" mechanism for planes. In: COH3 Central
