Only thing it promotes is clumping up to heal and being mobile. If you stay blobbed when healed, you'll be punished by first HMG on the way. Not sure what you mean.The aura from UKF medic kits and OKW kits is timed and has cost attached to them. So should be Commissar healing. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch4 Oct 2018, 08:58 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2018, 08:19 AMStark ... Why medics, and combat ability buffs doesn't have ammo cost? Even stupid 10 ammo would be fine per use? Every other faction, every other officer has abilities that costs something - even symbolic price. ... Yes a constant healing aura is bad and the unit promotes blobbing. If heals stays it should be a timed ability with or without cost. (edited to make it more clear) In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch4 Oct 2018, 07:23 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 22:26 PMLemonJuice ... german infantry doc seems in a weird spot right now, imo it doesnt actually offer anything that would make you want to choose infantry over any other meta commander at the moment. ... I agree with many of your points but I also feel the need to point out something. Imo many "meta" commanders especially Ostheer and Soviet are simply "OP" since they combine a number of very good abilities. I one uses them as "benchmark" one would have to create "op" units, "op" abilities and OP commanders. The meta would become much more diverse if these commanders where actually redesigned and the "op" combination removed. Part of the problem with "op" commanders is that underlying faction issues balance issues become harder to detect. For instance during the "lend lease" era Soviet as faction might had been "up" as faction but that would be nearly impossible to detect because the commander was so "op" that overshadowed any problems that might exist.

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch3 Oct 2018, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2018, 17:56 PMTiger Baron I get that it was based on the obsolete chassis of the KV tanks and that it's gun was inferior to that of the ISU-152 and the turret was a bit of the wrong design but I don't see what that has to do with my suggestion into making it into a hybrid Self-propelled gun. Another approach for the KV-2 (possibly for dozer and brumabr also) would be the following: Unit can act as tank but with munition with allot smaller AOE and low deflection damage. The unit can enter siege mode where it can not move and gets to fire up to 3 HE rounds at extended ranges not as barrage but shots directed by the user, sort of an attack ground. After exiting siege mode the ability goes to cool-down. With these change the unit's balances can be near KV-1 (having better AI and some deflection damage) with a price in the vicinity of 500/160 and CP around 10-12. One could even try to increase limit from 1 to 2 (or even completely remove it if it is moved to T4) since the unit would be closer to heavy tank than a Super heavy tank. In: Lobby

I forgot about Tank Commander sight because I only really remembered it improved the awful accuracy slightly. As for the other options, they are doctrinal, and I was trying to avoid those. Thanks for the correction though. Not a problem, things slip out of our minds all the time. I am just glad I could be of some help. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis artillery/Lefh overperforming3 Oct 2018, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 12:54 PMSuperHansFan okw lefh can fire a constant stream, compare the reload cooldown to land mattress and you will see an issue. It reload in almost half the time while having pretty much double the range And comparing artillery pieces with rocket artillery means very little, you would a similar result if you compared it with Ml-20. Rocket artillery deliver allot of payload in a small time frame while howitzer deliver there payload slowly, making them better vs stationary targets. If you want to compare the land mattress with something, compare it with Katiousha, Calliope, stuka or wefer and unit that belong is the same category. You can compare the Lefh with ML-20 or even with Priest and Sexton (you keep in mind the differences) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About KV-2 in Patch3 Oct 2018, 10:41 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 09:49 AMblvckdream Brummbär has low veterancy requirements and gets to vet 2 in no time. Brumabr has an XP value of 2040 and does not even have low veterancy requirements as you claim, since they are inline with other units of similar cost like the Churchill at 2080 XP value. Brumabr need 4080 XP to reach vet 2 which would mean around 51 conscripts to reach vet 2, I guess you are entitled to believe that a brumbar can kill 51 conscripts in no time (although I am not sure what mode you talking about). Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 09:49 AMblvckdream Then it has 340 armor while being non-doc costing 150 fuel and having better mobility than KV2 that costs 230 fuel and is tied to only 2 doctrines. KV2 in revamp mod is easy to kill because once it´s snared it´s so slow that it can´t get away from anything + it gets penned by Pak40s with super high %. One has to tech to T4 to get brumbar and has to spend allot of fuel to do so. KV-2 has no tech cost. Try to snare a KV-2 and see how long your infantry will last or how many faust you need to get an engine damage. The chance to penetrate a KV-2 with a pack at max range is 63% but I guess in your are entitled to believe that 63% is Super high. Even then a pak need 7 penetrating shot to kill a KV-2 but again I guess you have the right to call that easy. For a thread you described as "complete madness" you do seem to post allot in it.

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch3 Oct 2018, 10:10 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 09:44 AMSander93 If spamming them is everyone's major concern, why not put a limit on them? - Either max 1 unit (similar to Ostheer's Jaeger Command Squad); .... Limiting non officer unit to 1 is bad design imo (and that goes for Jaeger Command Squad that has nothing to promote the role of a command squad) I guess the best way about fixing their arrival, would be to offer 2 way of obtaining the unit (as I have proposed in previous post and the same mechanic could be used for other infiltration/call-in unit units, including ST.T). 1) Build able from base at CP 0 costing around 280 equipped with 4 k98. Able to upgrade with scoped g43 after 1 truck sets up. 2) Call-in unit at CP 2 infiltrating equipped with the G43 to counter snipers. (the reason I mention infiltration grenades is because I guess one could JLIR to ambush wipe enemy infantry using them in the scavenger doctrine) In: Lobby
Thread: Axis artillery/Lefh overperforming3 Oct 2018, 09:27 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 08:46 AMLoopDloop If anything ml20 should be harder to counter in teamgames because axis lacks mobile artillery guns. There is always the Stuka bomb + recon + elefant + spotting scopes commander though lol Stuka dive bomb, reckon planes and Elephant should simply not be available in the same commander. There many other such combinations that they simply not be there. In: COH2 Balance
