Thread: different firing ranges of inf units?4 Mar 2017, 14:22 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2017, 10:44 AMVipper Sight radius is 35 not 30. Range check is for each entity separately. In addition some time vision/shot blocker prevent a unit from firing but not from being fired upon (seen it happen more with vehicles not sure if it happen with infantry). Some unit get extra range (pathfinders, Fall, PTRS) Thanks for the correction although it actually doesnt change the context. Extra range could also be not the reason as the unit in question were riflemen and Panzergrenadiers. So it leaves the explanation with shot blocker. That is indeed a good point. However, the field between mentioned units was plain grassland. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: different firing ranges of inf units?4 Mar 2017, 10:30 AM So far I was under the impression that if inf unit A can fire at inf unit B, than this applies vice versa - as long as both have the standard sight range of 30. Now I observed for the second time a situation where unit B did not returned fire although the target was indeed visible. The fight was quite simpe: riflemen (exp. Lv 1) in bushes (yellow cover) shooting at Panzergrenadier in capping circle (neutral cover). The PzGren did not return fire. Does anyone know what could be the issue here? Maybe it is related to the fact that some enteties were outside and some inside the range? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Pz.Kpfw. VI - Tiger26 Feb 2017, 06:14 AM Damaging the hitpoints of a vehicle must have a feelable effect for the attacker, usualky the retreat of the damaged vehicle and some serious downtime. Any feature which results in hyper quick repaire rates should be reworked. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is the state of Panzer 4 on the Winter Balance Patch11 Feb 2017, 14:38 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2017, 03:53 AMluvnest P4 is how a medium tank is supposed to be, slow and sluggish, but decent at AT and AI. What needs a change is the ridiculous mobility (acceleration, turning speed) for Cromwells and M10s. Rather then bringing the P4 on their level, I'd like the opposite to happen. This It becomes obvious that there is a problem with the soft stats of certain armour of WfA factions if we look at a heavy tank like the churchill which has a turning speed nearly as good as a light tank. This is clearly not right and it is not unreasonable to assume that similar extremness has slipped into the stats of other units like medium tanks. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.5 Update20 Jan 2017, 11:16 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2017, 17:35 PMImagelessbean Because it adds depth to gameplay. Not all cover is created equal and having a player understand when it is important to be in cover vs not is really important. I see. So why not adding even more depth to gameplay and reduce the HE damage reduction of green cover? See your logical misconception? Increasing the difference in protection level between moving in the open and yellow cover in favour of the former does not increase depth. It perverts the original idea of the cover system by making (yellow) cover even less desireable compared to moving in the open. Yellow cover needs to have some effect against HE. It's ridiculous that in a WW2 themed game craters for example dont give any cover against shelling. Another option would be to include a tool tip like this: "In contrary to any normal person would think in the world of CoH yellow marked cover like craters have no effect on HE whatsoever. Yellow cover in context of HE is just a fake gimmick and supposed to confuse the naive noob. Under shelling it is suggested to let your troops happily run around in the open and avoid yellow cover at all costs because, as everyone knows, moving upright is much better than ducking in cover when under HE fire."

Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.5 Update19 Jan 2017, 17:18 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2017, 07:45 AMEsxile it has always been the case. Being on the open increase your spacing so reducing the chance to get wipe by a single hit. u mean because it has been silly we need to make it even more silly? Cover is a fundamental part of coh gameplay. We should try to find solutions without diminishing the value of cover. Wider formations are a good idea. But if moving in the open becomes even more preferable than to use cover we pervert the original idea of the cover system. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.5 Update19 Jan 2017, 17:05 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2017, 14:38 PMImagelessbean Yellow cover offers no damage reduction vs. indirect fire, so its use is only recommended if you are fighting small arms. if this is so why dont we increase the HE damage reduction of yellow cover?

Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.5 Update19 Jan 2017, 06:23 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2017, 16:19 PMMr.Smith When the squad is hiding in a crater, their formation is indeed more compact, to allow for all members to barely fit in-cover, and yes a lucky shell would hit all models. However, you shouldn't be using yellow cover when facing mortars. I am not quite sure if I understand u correctly. So with this change the best protection against HE artillery fire is to happily run around in the open and avoid cover at all costs because cover nearly always equals a tighter formation. Sounds a bit silly doesnt it? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rotation rate of Churchill heavy tank16 Jan 2017, 11:57 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Jan 2017, 10:25 AMSvalbard SD This. Tank weight alone doesn't determine its turn/pivot rate. The Tigers were known for high pivot rate for instance, so weight shouldn't be the factor preventing Churchills from doing the same in principle. Well, you mention the Tiger's high traverse rating. In game data this translates to 24. Clearly the 32/35 of the Churchill needs to be checked then. In: COH2 Balance
