Thread: Panzerwerfer vs Emplacements - make it burn!22 May 2016, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2016, 12:50 PMkitekaze Congratulation! You just broke a faction by adopting untested overpowered meta. Do you know how lethal walking stuka flame barrage is? Do you even imagine what happen when that 6 rockets become 10 rockets that simultaneously alpha strike with no visual warning? I bet you don't. For me, I have witnessed walking stuka flame barrage already. Blobs of 3 rifles+cap+lt get obliterated by single barrage even they have retreated. Try better idea please. Doesnt really mean anything will get deleted, as the werfer will perform exactly as is does now, incediary proyectiles wont alpha anything, just make it a DOT area thing, so it forces you to move or lose things, it will only hardcounter things like concentrated cancer, something that is sorely needed and all can agree on that.

Thread: Petition to revert crushing change21 May 2016, 08:04 AM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2016, 07:48 AMHighfiveeeee I can't understand how many people want crush back. In addition to the small 4 man squads of Ostheer, a Cromwell simply needed to drive into the squad to force a retreat or to wipe it in about 50% of the time. Crushing is just random cheese that uses a fucked up pathing to kill models. In addition it doesn't make sense that some tanks are good at crushing while others are not without any particular reason. This,also crushing should imply a tank charging at max speed towards a squad, not turning in it and bugging it to shit cause pathing. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Tiger Tank18 May 2016, 16:03 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2016, 13:59 PMKatitof You're asking for Pershing here... Compare it to what you will, i think it wouldnt be bad to update the unit into a more.. niche place, in the hands of an experienced Ostheer, it will punish badly prepared enemies hard, while at the same time pose more of a hit when lost to competent counter-play on the allied part. With this you add a more defined risk/reward to the unit and reward correct usage in the same way you reward correct counterplay. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Tank18 May 2016, 12:17 PM Would do with a fuel increase cost, with 20% ROF in its main gun, and a better mg dmg profile, turn it into a offensive specialist tank, designed to hit hard and fast in weak points, while leaving it counterable with rushes and dedicated AT. Win - Win. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofors11 May 2016, 09:16 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 08:07 AMPuppetmaster For the first 10 - 15 minutes of the game we had more map control than they did, I was also doing a decent job of harassing their fuel point and had 2 caches up by 11 minutes (a 3rd by 12 minutes though it wasn't alive for that long) so didnt need to have total map control (they hadn't built any caches). I deliberately didn't attack the emplacements before I was ready because it drains my man power / resources and feeds the emplacements vet. As you saw from my ally his MHT / mortars were getting attacked by counter barrage. At 20 minutes when my LeFh was ready I had: 3x LMG Grens (1x Vet 3 2x Vet 2) Sweeper Pios Pak40 2x 222 /w Spotting Scopes (Vet 2) Panther LeFH He had: 2x IS No weapons (Vet 2) Cromwell (Vet 1) 3 Emplacments 2 Mines up, Not in the most optimal places. No ATG. The Brit was pretty much done at this point. He has pretty much no army to deal with mine and my LeFH means his emplacements are on borrowed time (though I cleared the northern Bofors without my LeFH). Sure we had lost a lot of VP's at this point, but whats the point to drain my MP attacking his emplacements, delaying my Panther / LeFH and feeding his emplacements vet. A Win is a win whether its at 500 VPs or 1 VP. My ally seemed to have problems with the USF Blob. If he was doing better vs that then map control would have been better and our VP's would not have drained that low. Point still stands though that we won. Care to share your replay vs top 25 ranked 2v2 Brit? How about your playercard? Also as a general comment, I don't think people who do not play all factions (specifically Allies or Brits) at all should be commenting on balance. I do agree about your tactics here, actually it is kind of a solution, but it also means exactly that, you pretty much give up untill heavy armor/artillery form more than 20 min cause he placed down a bofors, understanding that you simply have no real way of facing the emplacement and start to stall for quite a long time and use harass tactics cause there's just simply no outplaying the emplacement itself, but running around it. And while its a sensible strategy, its very map based and situational while requiring much more planning execution and micro on your part, that brit, while losing, the only thing he had to do the entire game to force you to play like that, was placing a bofors on the ground.

Thread: Bofors8 May 2016, 11:37 AM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2016, 22:43 PMDoggo Brace working for only Artillery (which is extremely rare Early-Mid game) and Explosives (Even more Rare)? Wouldn't that be, in otherwords, pointless? How's it useless when it allows to tank the damage of its own counters at that point in the game (Leig/mortars *explosivedamage). While also scaling formidably into lategame. Do you consider acceptable that the bofors counters everything before t3/4 not only through stats but also its own counters with the barrage / brace combo then? Jump back to quoted post7 May 2016, 22:43 PMDoggo If this was to be done, two things need to be taken into consideration: 1) The Bofors is the only form of reliable AT Brits get early apart from the AEC (the faction's ONLY non-doctrinal Snare). Picking Bofors locks out the AEC. If Brace has no defensive applications, you will need to provide an equally effective AT Solution for the point it hits. If you're relying on the bofors as your AT source that just says about the overperformance of the emplacement, all other armies have to actually build AT to have AT. What are the issues about the 6 pdr and piats? i get the piats can be somewhat hit or miss but theyre still very dagerous and deter enemy armor, specially with the 6pdr around. Jump back to quoted post7 May 2016, 22:43 PMDoggo If the Balance patch hits as is, this is going to be twice as bad, with OKW having all its multitude of T0 AT Options invalidating Light/Medium/Heavy Vehicle play. I Agree with this, faust/ shreck combo will be deadly. They shoulndt be stackable. This wont affect emplacements much though. Just the same as now. Jump back to quoted post7 May 2016, 22:43 PMDoggo 2) Losing Brace would mean British Emplacements would vaporise fast. They would need a Health increase/Armour increase to compensate for this. Like i said , you arent losing brace, but now it has a window of weakness, instead of just being outright invulnerable, youd have to think about bracing instead of just doing it with no risk involved. Jump back to quoted post7 May 2016, 22:52 PMButcher I can´t believe people are still defending brace. SolidSteel was on point. It is a get out of jail free card. No skill involved. Invincibility when you got caught with your pants down. The only thing im asking its not for a nerf or removal, it will still be there and be usefull to prevent emplacements to be nuked from the map, but it will at least require some though before using, instead of #360noscopedinvulnerabilityoutplayed with 0 risk or cost involved.

Thread: Bofors7 May 2016, 17:27 PM I think the origin of the troubles with emplacements are pretty simple. Brace. This ability is just BS incarnate, free, non doctrinal, with same downtime as uptime, 90% true damage reduction instant activated skill. How the hell is such a concept tested and approved in a rts game? Theres simply no way of countering it, except looking at it go down for half a minute allowing the enemy brit to move their entire army to defend it and just repair it in your face at 0 cost. The solution would be pretty simple, brace protects against arty barrages and explosives, not against direct assaults/fire. Would still make brace valuable for keeping emplacements in the game, but not make them indestructible 30 secs for free with no counterplay. In: COH2 Balance
