Thread: Royal Engineers are op17 May 2016, 06:48 AM Would like to see RE vet 3 being swapped from -50% reinforcement (crazy) to takes no extra damage while repairing like the other engies. Tripple lmg heavy engies are abit cheesy. Maybe the extra lmg should go for a cost increase. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: [Mod Request] Garrisonable Mortar Pits6 May 2016, 21:52 PM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2016, 11:42 AMPlanet Smasher The easiest way I can think of would indeed be using another mortar model - the US M1 81mm is probably the best choice - and restoring the mortar-related functionality that trenches once had. (I did that for my commander mod, it's not much work.) But that's not quite what you had in mind, is it? What did you change to re-enable mortars in trenchs? I added them to the hold_ext and they load fine but don't shoot. Trying to find whatevers stopping them but its driving me batty. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: The pit and balance1 May 2016, 20:22 PM The implementation of the pit is just so dull. A crappy mobile mortar that becomes great when it garrisons a pit made by REs would have been so much better. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Essential Infantry Balance1 May 2016, 20:19 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2016, 19:27 PMGramses Read carefully and you'll see that I was saying that grens need better early game performance. Until they have lmg they just suck, and even then they need vet 2 to be able to hold back riflemen. IMO vet 3 riflemen wit 2x bar or 2x 1919 lmg are better than vet 3 grens with mg42 Grens are kind of meh currently, probably more due to power creep then anything else. They should really get a decent vet 1 that on its own would fix them. Their in alot better state then cons though In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So penal is underpowered? or others are overpowered?9 Apr 2016, 07:50 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2016, 01:07 AMMyself Penal cost 4% less than riflemen thus there DPS should be 0.96 of the M1 Riflemen have 0.86 less EHP than Penals so DPS should further be reduced by 0.86 Finally Penals have riflemen have 0.83 number of rifles (5/6) so the DPS of the M1 should be reduced Your missing the x 1.xx because penals are a pure ai unit in a pure ai teir and rifles are a t0 generalist with far more abilities and upgrades.

Thread: So penal is underpowered? or others are overpowered?8 Apr 2016, 14:02 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 11:35 AMKatitof Oh, like a unit decent at most ranges but not excelling over specialists at these ranges, which doesn't exist in soviet roster yet? Like... penals with doubled long range dps! Why are you so terrified of this? They won't become rifles no matter how many times you repeat it in your head, because they don't have all the benefits rifles have. They'll be just as dependent on cons as they are now, except they won't be premium cost cons. 1. All guns must follow weapon profiles 2. All the other guns in the game which don't follow 1 are exceptions and fine. 3. Copying an existing gun does not make it the same it makes it OMG OP. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So penal is underpowered? or others are overpowered?8 Apr 2016, 13:59 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 13:22 PMMyself Once more a Penal squad has currently more DPS then riflemen at ranges about up to 12 with flamer it has better DPS at range close to 15. Optimal range for Flamer Penals is not point blank in most cases... Yeap, Penals slightly outgun a jack of all trades generalist unit up close, then get outgunned within the range of their own weapon upgrade.... that should tell you whats wrong with them. Rifles have mearly OK dps up close, being ballpark to them is not impressive, especially when they pull far ahead from 15 on. Having an optimal range of 10-15 and useless above / outperformed by SMGs below seems so useful..... In: COH2 Balance

Most people don use them for their AI but mainly for their AT No and that's the point. PGs are fine as a mid range unit with great close range & mid range damage. Your claiming PGs are fine but a rifle squad with OK close Good medium and OK far is somehow OMGFG HAX when the current rifle squad in game proves it isn't.... Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 12:27 PMMyself Pg a 340 T2 units losing to at T1 unit with a 60 MU upgrade...that sounds a like pointless unit to me At all ranges, sounds about Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 12:27 PMMyself You are confusing DPS and who wins a fight. Penals will not only outgun axis mainline infatry but will also be tougher then them having more EHP Nope, factoring in cost, dps & EHP Penals doing the same squad damage as rifles outshoot grens a little at range stock, then get stomped when grens get upgrades. Stock Volks > new penals at range. Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 12:27 PMMyself and would lose trying to move up close since they don't have sprint or smoke... Since when is bum rushing a longer range unit is expected to be a better strategy. Ost have all the tools they need in the box. Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 12:27 PMMyself Having a flamer and semi automatic weapon makes perform better at mid. The best range to use a flamer is about 20 the best range to use Penals is about 12-15... No it doesn't cause the SVT sucks hard mid range its dropping off hard by 20. Its point blank or bust. The SVT is closer to SMGs then the other semi auto rifles. Most smg's are still going strong at 10 & grens & co start to outdamage the SVT from 15, this is meant to be on a mid range unit......

Thread: So penal is underpowered? or others are overpowered?8 Apr 2016, 11:33 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 11:09 AMMyself PG are not a close range units, they are a mid range unit. Losing at their optimal range from a unit with lower tech and cost, does no make sense... Sooooo an axis mid range unit can have awesome close range dps, awesome mid range dps, and hit all the way out to 35, but a soviet mid range unit can't have ok close, good mid and ok long range dps because .... things. Penals with a munition spend get lunched by vanilla PGs from 0-35. That sounds like a pointless unit to me.... Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 11:09 AMMyself Penals with the suggested number will not be a long range it will be a unit that can outgun most axis units in all ranges, and that is simply bad design. Squad work allot better when they are good at some range but weaker in another... Jack of all trades master of none..... Your confusing base line stats for the SVT with how the unit would perform through the game. They would slightly outgun grens for cost & lose to volks for cost. As soon as grens get their lmgs or nades they would be far far better at range...... PGs/SP would still be far better up close. Obers/lmg grens would still be far better at range. Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2016, 11:09 AMMyself One should probably take some away from the cons and adjust cost and/or increase their far DPS a bit and/or give them some defensive bonuses when fighting from cover. There simply needs to be a different role for each unit. Currently both are optimum to fight against axis mainline infatry at mid range. Penal are simply a bit better at it and bit more specialized in anti-garrison anti-building, while conscripts have more utility and abilities. If you want examples of roles sent me a pm Penals are not currently optimal at mid range, currently their meh short range units. In: COH2 Balance
