Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback26 Nov 2020, 22:54 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2020, 22:51 PMCODGUY USF is generally in a good spot I don't have much to ask for myself except for the following: - Would like to see the Jackson get it's armor back, if not then at least lower its fuel cost back down to 140 fuel. - Give the Easy 8 WP rounds, and Rifle Company M1919, would be nice. - Maybe lower the cost slightly of a few overpriced units, namely Assault Engineers, Pathfinders, Rear Echeleons. - If they only make one change for USF though, that should be to fix the Pershing. It's a terrible heavy tank that doesn't do anything well. This is really the most important change they should make to USF IMHO. The patch is for core armies, not commanders and their units.

It seems we forgot to mention those rounds are essentially 120mm Soviet Mortar rounds. Will be sure to touch that up soon. Awesome! And nobody will look close enough at the models so just describe it as this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_4.2-inch_mortar In: COH2 Balance

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback26 Nov 2020, 22:12 PM Mortar emplacement There's not any damage change, but it's just a longer range? To make it clearer, could the barrage be called 'super-charge barrage' or similar? 'heavy' implies it deals more damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback26 Nov 2020, 22:10 PM Mortar smoke (suggestion for all factions but no general thread) I like it, but my gripe has never been that I can't use it enough, but that when I do use it, it takes too long to arrive. The engagement has ended or the other player has displaced his units of his own accord. It's not so noticeable with the regular barrage because that's not as often used as part of a coordinated manoeuvre. Could core mortar-crew rotation speeds be increased for all factions? I think a big reason people don't use them is they're not responsive (half tracks feel noticeably more snappy). If this knocks on to the HE barrage, the ROF on both (HE and smoke) could be reduced. Individual smoke rounds last long enough so that it would just extend the overall smoked-up time for smoke barrages. Sandbags (suggestion for all factions but no general thread) By treating specific units differently, it would be a lot for new players to consider the build-times in their decision making and lead them to do things when not realising some units build slower. Can the slower sandbag build speed be standardised across all non-engineer units? HMG AP ammo (applies to MG42 too) When the AP ammo ability is used, it loads a new ammo belt, correct? Instead of a timer, can it be changed so that specific belt is the AP ammo and the ability lasts until the HMGs next reload? Reduces the ability of vehicles to just kite away or sight block for 30secs nullify the muni-investment. But the other player could also put infantry in the line of fire to use up the ammo belt. Can use the ability's timing clock to show % ammo belt remaining. Rifleman AT nades Reduce animation length? LT vs CAP With the new Stuart changes, just want to mention I'm curious how both will remain attractive? I'm disappointed the USF armour line-up wasn't mentioned (although I know it would need to be coordinated with their commanders) I think there's potential to get more unit variety there.

It makes sense that willing captured hostile infantry shouldn't be readily available. The recharge nerf to just reduce their share of the force-composition is neat.

Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch25 Nov 2020, 10:10 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2020, 09:40 AMT.R. Stormjäger They’ll have to use positioning to keep distance and combined arms to win. 5man Grens and Osttruppen will also be options, toned down from the current OP state into a balanced state so that it’s fair. Ostheer will be in an excellent spot after 5man Grens and Osttruppen merfs, as well as hopefully a Pgren move back to T2 and the nerf to T1 skip builds. I like the idea of 5man grens. I think the weapon-team focus of Ost could still hold up with kar98 stat nerfs. They should still be the weakest mainline, at least offensively so while the extra man makes them more durable they should still need a heavy weapon team to decisively win an even fight. So extra model but total firepower with all models the same. Fix the unit, don't go after every other mainline in the game for the sake of 4-man faction flavor and cause a butterfly effect. The weapon-team focus can be maintained with 5man.

Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch24 Nov 2020, 11:54 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2020, 21:43 PMSander93 This is how rocket arty and howitzers should have been designed - with all factions having (stock) access to both. Rocket arty should have dealt major suppression in a large area but little damage so that it could be used to stop an enemy advance or to reduce the effectiveness of enemy defences while launching your own assault. Howitzers should have brought precision killing power with a zeroing mechanic (every consecutive shot becomes more accurate). This way there would have been two distinctive types of artillery each with their own goals/uses and strengths. This is how howitzers and rocket arty were done in the Wargame series and it worked very well. Sadly, it's too late to implement this in CoH2. Ah I play wargame, must be where I got the idea from. Why is it too late to change now? In: COH2 Balance
