Thread: Can the rear of the USF aaa half track be made the front25 Jul 2019, 23:52 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2019, 23:22 PMDoomlord52 QOL/Usability can be used for balancing. You can. But you shouldn't. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Point Blank25 Jul 2019, 23:51 PM This idea got some traction in another thread, so I've made it a thread of its own. Tank Point Blank Vehicles get a hefty penetration boost at extremely close range. This is like the infantry Point Blank mechanic, but for tanks: their penetration spikes if they drive into effectively melee range. It solves a lot of issues with the armour system without rocking the boat too much. It's also very easy to implement with the existing range mechanics. Stat change example: In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can the rear of the USF aaa half track be made the front25 Jul 2019, 22:36 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2019, 20:10 PMIncendiaryRounds USF AAHT is an annoyance to use but it's also insanely good if u know how to handle it since it's the only vehicle in the game that supresses on the move. It's just kinda unfortunate u can't get decent mileage out of them vs OKW cuz the rak is just too fast with the follow up shot unlike paks. I have a feeling if the AAHT can just a-move and be effective, it'll make it OP probably is gonna need to lose the moving suppression. Its effectiveness will be exactly the same. It'll just be easier to micro. User unfriendilness is not a balancing tool. In: COH2 Gameplay

However, we can increase the build time for sandbags for sections instead so they don't spam them and are used strategically Infantry Sections and Volksgrenadiers should lose sandbags, Sturmpioneers and Royal Engineers should gain them. That'd go a long way to mitigating OKW and UKF mainline spam. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About Sturmpioneer combat package25 Jul 2019, 18:39 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2019, 14:40 PMT.R. Stormjäger But what if I want some doctrinal mobile AT as okw to fight off light vehicles? Do I pay an extra 300mp to get a 2nd sturmpio squad to get a sweeper? Why do all that when you can bundle them together and get both a sweeper and an AT. Why bundle them when you can let them upgrade both? It's a 300 MP unit. I see no harm in letting you turn it into a worse version of Bazooka RETs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Stuart need buffs man.25 Jul 2019, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2019, 13:12 PMWingZero Stuart has a similar problem as Comet. What is the purpose of this tank AT or AI? Having both AT and AI capabilities make the unit average. Does anyone know Stuart stats vs AEC? I say Stuart fits the "AT" option well for the LT tier. The frustrating part of Stuart is killing Stuka and and PanzerWerfer late game is way too expensive, especially if you have to back tech. It'd be similar to the Comet if the Comet was your only tank. The Stuart works not because it's a good AT vehicle, but because it's your only AT vehicle at that point the game. A unit doesn't need to be good to be the best option available. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet B4 "Change"25 Jul 2019, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2019, 18:15 PMSander93 Funny you should say that. I think Radio Silence (at least the idea behind it) is actually a hidden gem as one of the very few abilities that expands the strategy of the game beyond brute force, and I think it's a shame there aren't many more units or abilities like it in CoH2. I would've loved more "spy" units and abilities (like vCoH's PE Vampire HT or the Commandos radio triangulation) that would have let players fight enemies in more ways than bullets and shells. My problem with Radio Silence is it messes with the user interface, which is an absolute no of game design for me. A good UI is a intuitive interface you forget is there, and having abilities mess it up shows a deep misunderstanding of what the UI is for. Similarly, abilities designed solely to stress out and frustrate the opponent fly in the face of designing a game that's fun to play. I don't think Radio Silence is like the Vampire HT or Radio Triangulation at all. I'd lump it in with abilities that randomise the opponent's hotkeys for 30 seconds. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank destroyer interactions25 Jul 2019, 18:17 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2019, 21:55 PMJae For Jett My favorite part is: Where he suggests giving mediums ~200 close pen... That's not necessarily a bad idea if you make Range Mid really short too. Like, 5 to 10 short. You'd create a Point Blank mechanic for tanks: their penetration spikes if they drive into effectively melee range. That'd cleverly solve a lot of issues with the armour system without rocking the boat too much. In: COH2 Balance
