Thread: Bofors8 May 2016, 02:22 AM Jump back to quoted post8 May 2016, 02:05 AMAlphrum as much as i hate to admit it brace in a needed feature for brit emplacements or it will be way to easy to take out emplacements. BUT the emplacements cause the most frustrating game play experience i have ever had in coh2, its far worse then anything else like volkblobs or other crap. @johnk419, stop talking out of your rear, bofors pens both p4 and panthers frontal Armour and from my experience, emplacements is far worse then OKW buildings, ISG's and motors. The only issue with these emplacements is on small maps or in team games where they just get spammed. I am not saying emplacements are OP or anything but it causes very frustrating game play experience and some solutions for the time being can be cost increases or build limits. You stop talking out of your rear, the bofors cannot penetrate P4 and Panther's frontal armor. Go test it out yourself. It might have less than 5% chance of penning, which is nowhere near reliable enough to be considered a threat. It would take like 5 minutes for a bofors to kill a P4 if the bofors were to be invincible. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofors8 May 2016, 01:45 AM The amount of over-exaggeration in this thread is absolutely ridiculous. First of all, Bofors CANNOT penetrate P4s and Panthers from the front. You're probably not paying attention to an AT gun or a PIAT, as it's not the bofors doing the damage. Second, mortar/ISG spam + flak truck/MGs is harder to deal with for the British than it is for OKW to deal with bofors and mortar emplacements. While ISGs and mortars can move (you can even reinforce them with a half track which you will inevitably buy for the flame upgrade) mortar emplacements can't and you're GUARANTEED to hit the mortar emplacement because it's a building and its hitbox is so large. Not to mention, mortar emplacements have god awful accuracy in return for firing two at a time, so a well-micro'ed mortar/ISG pair is much much more efficient than the mortar emplacement. I don't think you guys realize the emplacement costs a whopping 400mp to build. If you invested the same amount in ISG/mortar you can easily counter emplacements. Furthermore, brace isn't an overpowered ability, when you use it your buildings do not function, and you cannot cancel it either. Literally all you have to do is build 2 mortars, bombard the bofors, when the bofors braces, send in your flame half track and destroy it. Finally, emplacements, once they're gone, they're gone forever. Mortars and ISG you can recrew. Bofors costs 280mp + 30 fuel, with the mortar emplacement costing 400mp, once you break the bofors it's pretty much GG for the British player. In: COH2 Balance
