Thread: USF radical design changes ideas24 Oct 2018, 20:37 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 18:42 PMelchino7 ... Is USF combined arms too strong? ... USF mortar is about equal to Wer mortar USF HMG is about equal to HMG-42 Riflemen are superior to Grenadiers if USF gets access to everything as suggest yes its combined arm will be too strong.

Thread: USF radical design changes ideas24 Oct 2018, 15:57 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 15:44 PMelchino7 The thing is you should stop bringing "faction design" as a point, when it has been retconned through out the life of the COH cycle again and again. You bring the point that USF Riflemans in conjunction with their support weapons are so strong, that if they were able to get both, that either would had to be nerfed. Airborne gave USF the possibility since day 1 and it's not been picked for that reason. USF use of 2 officers included using LT + Cpt and forgetting about Mayor. That's why call in tanks were nerfed as well. I am not sure why in your opinion "faction design" is not a "point". Each faction is design to have different strengths and weakness, that does not mean that this should be set in stone and not change. But if one want to change the strengths or weakness of faction, one should redesign the faction for optimum results. Airborne drop able weapons were very (and still are) expensive and took up 2 commander slots since day 1 exactly because they allowed access to support weapon regardless of officer choice. I am glad that you agree that USF were designed to be played with two officers. In: COH2 Gameplay

The thing went out of hand because they attempted to rebalance 3 faction in 1 patch (JUNE 21). The only point I was making was that USF where designed to use 2 officers not all 3, a point that as far I can tell from your post you agree. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Infiltration commandos 3 men at spawn24 Oct 2018, 14:30 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 14:11 PMSander93 What? Only Commandos do? They pay full price for a 3/5 men squad and have to pay for reinforcement on top of that. Partisans and Jaegers all spawn at full potential while Stormtroopers only pay munitions. In the spawn with rifles solution, the premium they pay is having to wait on the weapons upgrade to become fully effective so planning and cunning are required. Just like the new Stormtroopers. Partisan pay no premium. Storm trooper in live are balance around 300 cost (if I remember correctly, they are basically grenadiers with small target size when they spawn) the rest is premium, same goes for JLRI. Having free weapon upgrades is not a good solution for infiltration units. They should be cheaper and their weapons upgrades should cost munition and take up weapon slots. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW needs some nerfs don’t you think?24 Oct 2018, 13:37 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 13:08 PMLago So choose the three factions that are pretty well balanced to each other as that benchmark, rather than the two factions that are a bit of a mess. It does not make sense to have more than 1 benchmark, it increases complexity while offer very little. In addition this is more a result of 3 faction being buffed and not the USF being nerfed. The power level of factions was fine before the changes I mentioned before so it should return at that level else you are running the risk of turning the game into an arcade game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration commandos 3 men at spawn24 Oct 2018, 13:27 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 13:11 PMSander93 But that doesn't adress the disproportional MP price of infiltration spawning them as 3-men nor their severely restricted combat effectiveness (and survivability on retreat) while doing so? Infiltration units pay a premium for being able to instantly appear in the battlefield. If one wants this surprise attack one will have to pay the premium, if one simply want a full unit one will not have to pay it and he will be able to built them from HQ at the cost the price they are balanced around.

Thread: OKW needs some nerfs don’t you think?24 Oct 2018, 12:44 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 11:04 AMLago I'd prefer the Raketenwerfer had passive cloaking in cover like an Ambush Camoflague MG42 instead of the current Jagdpanzer IV stealth, but I don't think it's too much of an issue. OKW's about on par with SOV and OST. Better to buff USF and UKF than to nerf those three. That imo is incorrect and exactly result of continues buffs. High lethality means that fight last less and are more result being caught out in the open than using tactics. One has to simply choose a single faction as benchmark, decide the appropriate power of that faction and balance all other faction according to the benchmark. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration commandos 3 men at spawn24 Oct 2018, 12:39 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 09:02 AMSander93 So in conclusion having them spawn with rifles (with a few tweaks) would fix most issues. ... or simply add the option to be built from HQ at the normal price of the unit.

Thread: USF radical design changes ideas24 Oct 2018, 08:44 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 08:41 AMEsxile Sorry but why would you refit your riflemen squad for an officer's one? To get no tech bazookas, free bar, free Thompson, smoke grenades, "on me" ,passive sprint, etch... And it would be an option to replace existing infantry like RE, vesicles crews and so on instead of getting an officer that you might or might not want. In: COH2 Gameplay

Not really depends on how you want to use your commandos. A bren does not have a significant impact on DPS in range 13 while it greatly increases the chance to kill a retreating squad in longer ranges. In: COH2 Gameplay
