Thread: Soviet - Airbourne feedback24 May 2019, 19:26 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2019, 18:34 PMVipper I know but more Dhsk is one of the most expensive Hmgs and the reinforcement price is one of the cheapest. The price of the weapon itself is currently arbitrary. Either all hmg need to reinforce with the same price or they should all reinforce according to the price of the team weapon All team weapons reinforce for the cost of the crew models. If you raised the reinforcement cost on the DshK it'd be lost the moment one got recrewed. In: Lobby

Thread: KV1 and Churchill can take too much damage21 May 2019, 22:15 PM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2019, 22:14 PMthekingsown10 The churchill is the most overpowered tank in the game and anyone that says otherwise is nothing but a fanboy. How constructive. I'd say the HE Sherman is substantially stronger factoring price and timing. In: COH2 Balance

You can limit them 1 per player (from ML20 to Priest, Lefh etc...), that's already a substantial nerf for team game that doesn't affect 1vs1 or even 2vs2. You can increase the reload time. You can decrease their range. Or effectively you can nerf their raw stats and vet bonus. And then you can give them smoke barrage to make them more combined arm friendly. All of those reduce the effectiveness of indirect fire at clearing out anti-tank positions. Those changes could well be improvements to teamgames, but they won't make medium tanks more effective in them. In: COH2 Gameplay

Personally I don't think TDs need to be nerfed if we can make medium tanks more reliable on the late game (using various upgrades) If you nerf artillery, you make team weapons stronger. That makes medium tanks weaker, not stronger. The simple fact of the matter is that 4 hit mediums just aren't ideal for laney maps that favour team weapons. There's just too much anti-tank firepower around to reliably preserve them. As a result, more survivable tanks (long range tank destroyers, heavy tanks) are favoured on that sort of map. That's not inherent to teamgames but to the map pool. If you made a 1v1 map half the width of Kharkov, it'd turn into an artillery showdown. Likewise, if you played a 2v2 on a 4v4 map, more mobile, versatile units like medium tanks and infantry would be more powerful than more static, higher firepower specialists. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: KV1 and Churchill can take too much damage20 May 2019, 10:54 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2019, 10:37 AMSeductiveCardbordBox More serioualy - really. A moving church can, apparently, move through the full length of a PaK range, wipe one purely with moving shots, advance on another, eat no snares and then grenade wipe the second? BS. Maybe one every tousand games the perfect tank shell rng will come through, that's hardly a balance worry. If you leave out the snares, yes, it can. Just tested it myself. In reality the opponent would react to a Churchill charging their anti-tank guns, but it definitely can frontally charge and kill two AFK Pak guns. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KV1 and Churchill can take too much damage20 May 2019, 10:19 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2019, 09:29 AMSander93 That's not true at all. A pair of (layered) Pak 40s (full health, which they usually aren't) barely have enough DPS against the Churchill's armor and HP to take it down to 50-75% HP on its charge before it kills the first one with its rather good AOE damage and grenades the second one. Wouldn't a Churchill charging two Paks get snared though? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Small change to brittish hammer tactics18 May 2019, 16:01 PM Hammer and Anvil themselves are quite well balanced against each other. It's Comet vs Churchill that's winning it for Anvil. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehrmacht problems. 18 May 2019, 12:42 PM Ost's got three main things it struggles with. The first is CQC infantry. The only things in the Ost arsenal that'll stop a Shock Troops squad are an MG or a vehicle. Panzergrenadiers are meant to fill this role, but in live they don't. The second is it has no light tank destroyer. Without the Panic Puma, it has to make do with infantry anti-tank. This is just part of the faction design. The third is the Stall-In meta. If the enemy goes for a stall-in tank, especially a Soviet one, you need to go Panther. The StuG won't cut it. However, doing so in time means not going T3. If you skip T3 and the opponent techs, you're fucked. The next patch will address the first: Panzergrenadiers and the Ostwind are being improved. The Panzergrenadier buffs also partly address the second. Apparently the patch after that will address the third. In: COH2 Gameplay
