Thread: US Pak Howitzer Is Out Of Control 26 Jun 2020, 15:32 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2020, 13:37 PMKatitof So is walking stuka. - It is more easy to hunt down a StuKa-zu-Fuß than the Howitzer, Howitzer can be remaned. - Howitzer often double-shots a support-crew, same StuKa-zu-Fuß. BUT Stuka-zu-Fuß often only killes 2-3 men of a crew per shot, which means waiting for cool-down. Howitzer is cheaper and does even that job better for what it is. (same problem is the Katjusha/Panzerwerfer paradox). It is funny to see, how often you try to defend broken mechanics. (edit: it doesn't depends on the fraction, fan-boy free talk. But it seems you don't get it) Start mod-tools, replace leIG18 with Howitzer and start playing. Fun-fact, you are able to neutralize the popular HMG/AT-gun combo with ease. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kubel idea26 Jun 2020, 15:16 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 22:06 PMJames Hale That is essentially what it used to have originally, although it was with an automatic timed setup. A timed ability could work well, still... there will be a lategame problem. It could also get something like Vampire in CoH1. Edit: But yea... all over it would be more logical if it gets replaced with Sdkfz 221. And Kübelwagen gets a commander unit. But that is my opinion. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: State of the ISU-15225 Jun 2020, 14:48 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 14:47 PMMMX the 4 man argument, as appropriate it may be in many other cases, is kind of weak for units with huge aoe like the isu152. a clumped 6 entity squad will take just as much damage per model as a clumped 4 man squad when hit dead center. and if bunched up tighly enough both are almost equally likely be nuked in a single hit. the thing is the overall formation size, which doesn't really change much between 6 and 4 man squads is much more important than the model count for aoe damage. therefore, the time for the isu to kill a penal squad is not much greater than to wipe a gren squad - and certainly not 33% higher as the model count difference would suggest. I see main problem on countering PaKs and HMGs, not mainly inf. To counter Ele effective normal AT-guns are enough. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dealing with Obers as SOV25 Jun 2020, 14:11 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 10:52 AMVIGNASH Thanks for all the insights. Based on the suggestions, I can make two conclusions, Non-doc solution: Build early katy and try to get lucky hits before they vet up, plant alot of mines in general (also demos) Also, try to keep the vet3 T70 alive till late game Doc solution: Get Shockies and draw them close (easier in narrow maps with smoke nade combo) Pretty much? +1 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US Pak Howitzer Is Out Of Control 25 Jun 2020, 14:02 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2020, 12:39 PMSumi Pzwfr has 240 range and pack howie has 120 and you are saying that 120 range is less? That's still 2x the Jacksons max range and 4x if you count jackson being close to howie. Pzwfr has a turret and it fires all its missiles in a single salvo unlike katyusha hence it does not even have to stick around after firing and getting spotted in the FOW. It is more the problem that in many games the front its hold by one HMG or one PaK40, if they die you can easy be steam-roled by US. Sure, it is same for Ostheer, but there are multible fraction-design issues howitzer sniping some primary units to effective. There are many problems coming together. In: COH2 Balance

I have the right to criticize as he has the right to post it, so cut the content policing. Maybe you get it, that you confirming my post here. Self-reflection is calling. Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 13:47 PMKatitof Most threads are completely exhausted by 5th page, then its just repeating everything that was already said or people who never should be allowed to have ideas bringing their ideas to light. Never said that the balancing forum is very effective. It is a repetition on continuous loop. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cali Armor nerf25 Jun 2020, 13:47 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 13:37 PMGrim This idea gets a solid no from me, dawg. Unless you plan to add bonus damage vs vehicles, what with it being more akin to the sturmtiger It has to be tested. Beside, most op units are only op for 3vs3 and larger, there has to be a path to make the unit more fluent. Edit: Cali could also become a normal Sherman again, with the bonus of rockets. It chould be added a new crit only effects the rockets etc. Nothing impossible. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of the ISU-15225 Jun 2020, 13:43 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 13:41 PMKatitof I think you GREATLY overestimate my personal influence on games balance. Thanks for appreciation tho. It is your saltynes and presence, making most threads start to become troll-fests or slowly die because of bad admosphere. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of the ISU-15225 Jun 2020, 13:41 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 13:38 PMT.R. Stormjäger That is idea is so bad that it's frightening. It is an idea, every idea is good because it starts a discussion. ISU has one problem, it works too smooth. a. make it worse or b. let the rest perform worse, that is how balancing works.

Thread: State of the ISU-15225 Jun 2020, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2020, 13:33 PMKatitof The sole fact you agree with him is further confirmation of the utter insanity of the idea. hmm... little troll. Beside, I still think you are one reason this game still sucks, your forum influence consumes a lot of potential, because you simply love broken mechanics. No insult, simply obersavation. Maybe you start modding and move some units around, simply to see how it performs with its performance. You would cry. In: COH2 Balance
