Thread: British balance - Tommy too strong3 Aug 2019, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2019, 15:08 PMthedarkarmadillo I mean... The game ui call it a cover buff. How exactly it's applied on a technical level doesn't really matter. They are more than usable outside of cover (unlike say ostroppen) and only better when in cover. It does matter when you start considering slot weapons. It's also relevant if you bring stats in, which a sensible balance discussion should. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British balance - Tommy too strong3 Aug 2019, 10:38 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2019, 08:20 AMRocket Hahhahaha /cry 5 men IS with brens. Its never okay for allies to have an infantry unit that wins in late game. That is a vast oversimplification of the game mechanics. There is no 'infantry that wins': the performance of squads is dependent on range, movement and cover. Even Shock Troops, which beat just about anything close up, are vulnerable if forced to fight at range. Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2019, 12:28 PMSander93 Damage from 16 to 14 and compensating with higher accuracy is a slight adjustment, not a "nerfbat". Besides the fact that I think you are overreacting, we're already ahead of you and also plan to buff the sniper's aimtime and increase the suppression on the Vickers a tiny bit to compensate the slightly decreased IS performance. Amongst other things. I get the logic (faction needs more anti-cover ability, buff the anti-cover unit), but please think very carefully before you buff the most widely reviled unit in the game. If you create a sniper meta, it's not going to do nice things to the remaining player count. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IR Ht3 Aug 2019, 10:21 AM The Valentine had the IR scanning replaced with T-70 recon so it could be used in tournaments. The IR ability is bugged and therefore banned in most tournaments. As for the IRHT, were it some sort of overpowered god unit one would expect to see it more in high level streams. Sure, it's useful, but if the game's top players almost always spend their resources elsewhere I doubt it's a game changer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British balance - Tommy too strong31 Jul 2019, 21:13 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2019, 21:08 PMSander93 I believe it's +40% reload and +20% cooldown when out of cover, so that doesn't affect Lee Enfield DPS all that much. It mostly affects Piats and Brens. Has the balance team considered changing that? The early game is when Section cover should matter the most. In: COH2 Balance

Vet 0 LMG Obersolaten are roughly matched with Vet 0 double Bren Tommies in a Range 30 full cover fight. Vet 2 LMG Obersoldaten are matched with Vet 3 double Bren Tommies. Vet 0 StG Obersoldaten can close the full distance on Vet 3 double Bren Tommies and win handily. In: COH2 Balance

He's saying if you engage a unit that specialises in long range heavy cover fights at long range against heavy cover, they're probably going to do pretty well. Therefore, investing in units that don't fight at long range in heavy cover will help. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should USF/UKF have non doc 160hp rocket arty?30 Jul 2019, 17:22 PM Rocket artillery is for cracking AT walls. Do USF and UKF struggle with this? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer and Soviet FRP discussion30 Jul 2019, 16:50 PM I don't see SOV and OST forward retreat points as a problem provided they have the same risk, expense and inflexibility of other forward retreat points. And before anyone mentions USF, remember their FRP is the Major and the Ambulance together. A 200 MP upgrade for the 251 and M5 halftrack that turns it into a permanently immobile forward retreat point (similar to how an OKW sWs sets up) could work. In: COH2 Gameplay

It would be way better with call in commandos instead of the dumb glider. That's not how the commander system works. If you have everything you want in one commander, you've got no reason to choose the others. In: COH2 Balance
