Its area denial tool working in the same way as bofors, except for no additional cost, without negative modifiers, without popcap cost and with much greater health poll. It is NOT an are denial tool. It's first and foremost, a tech building that can defend itself. You can use it offensively, but it is much more expensive, comes way later, has no barrage, has no brace, and losing it can lose the game more often than not. Only thing it has, is more HP, than a Bofors. The functions are fundamentally different for those two structures. Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:48 PMKatitof Terrible example. There isn't a single sane player in the game saying okw flak is fine. I know no one says it is fine, but THIS is THE equivalent to the Bofors. Bofors should be compared to this and nothing else. Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:48 PMKatitof That is exactly a playstyle/BO choice. It got its hardcounters just like any other BO. And the emplacement can hardcounter many of its "counters" with barrage and comes much faster than anything that can reliably take it down. Sim city is a BO/playstyle. Bofors is just cancer.

CoH2 emplacements had that too, but there was some odd behavior with it(for example when it occurred during brace) so it was removed and you can only destroy it now. That still is a different type of abandonment then, say, PaK43. But a chance is better than no chance. Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:29 PMKatitof I was just giving the closest equivalent examples These were not equivalent in any way. MG nest is equivalent to the USF MG nest. No one complains about it. Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:29 PMKatitof Obviously it makes no sense for tech structure to get abandoned, but just like shwerer is not a gun platform with infantry, but a whole "unit", the deal is with emplacements, its a whole unit, not a crew on a support weapon. But using this HQ offensively is a very, very big risk. There's a big drawback to using it to lock down forward points, as losing it means no tanks for a long time, and a shitton of fuel lost. The drawback to losing a bofors is akin to losing a light vehicle. And yet the bofors has more means to defend itself from attacks than the HQ. Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:29 PMKatitof Brace exist as a preservation mechanic from instant wipes, but you also have positive dmg modifier from explosives, ballistics and flames. So OKW's doctrinal (!) Flak nest (which is a true equivalent to the bofors) is fine to instant wipe, but Bofors is not and needs to have brace and barrage? Something is very not right there. Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:29 PMKatitof It may not be the best mechanic around and sure a lot of people hate it, but, loosely quoting Brad while he was still at Relic, "few loud people who do not like to play against certain playstyle or unit is not a reason for the playstyle to not be a valid choice and option". It's not a playstyle. It's "I will place bofors, mortar or two, and forward assembly and play some movie on my TV". For me, the emplacements can have the brace. But let them be decrewable (like OKW's flak or Ost's PaK43 or LeIH) and remove the bofors barrage. That's all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofors11 May 2016, 13:17 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 13:02 PMKatitof For the same reason coh1 brit emplacements couldn't be decrewed. Excuse me, a poor noob, but in CoH1 You COULD decrew brit emplacements. All of them. I did it like, 2 months ago, when I last played CoH1. Oh, and about the Flak HQ and MG nest - MG nest cannot turn, and Flak HQ costs a shitton of fuel and manpower and is a tier building. And has no brace nor it can make a barrage to counter the ground-attack AT guns. In: COH2 Balance
