Thread: Tie Call-Ins to tech this patch15 May 2019, 11:34 AM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2019, 11:33 AMKatitof And apparently it'll be fixed or at least addressed in patch after this one. You did read the thread, right? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tie Call-Ins to tech this patch15 May 2019, 11:20 AM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2019, 10:57 AMDangerous-Cloth You said Is2 is better than more expensive to get t34. Well so is tiger compared to p4. So that doesn't make sense. Yes I agree, no teching call in is bullshit. I'm still not sure I follow. I'm not making a faction-versus-faction balance argument here. The problem is call-in heavies screwing up the teching dynamic, regardless of faction. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?15 May 2019, 11:13 AM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2019, 10:56 AMEsxile You're just deviating the conversation on your own thread on something trivial. The point I made was -15 fuel at start for grenade/STG/pfaut is a cheap price to pay associated to the fact that different starting fuel for factions is a matter of early game balance and timing for first tech. 'Cheap price to pay'? USF would be crippled if you shoved all their tech back 15 FU just to avoid sideteching for racks. As for OKW, their teching is balanced around their incredibly strong early game. But as every one-faction-wonder who swings by this thread conveniently ignores, the first half of this proposal is removing that early game strength. If OKW has a weaker early game, it has less map control. That means less fuel. That means slower vehicles. You can't change one without the other. This way, OKW's early game won't roflstomp any non-infantry spam/ultralight vehicle build, but in turn it can reliably get a fast shock vehicle out on even map control to punish enemy infantry spam strategies. And by being able to get out of T0 faster, OKW isn't forced to spam Volks. That alone is huge for build diversity. Then again, I probably shouldn't expect someone who'd like USF to go back to forced Rifleman spam to agree with that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Sections, Upgrades, and Bolster15 May 2019, 11:00 AM I think just raising the cost of Bolster to 60 FU would do it. Bolster's balanced out by delaying anti-vehicle tech, but right you can easily go four Sections, Bolster, tech and get an AEC out in time to deal with the enemy light vehicle. Up that to 60, and you'll be fighting that light vehicle with 6-pounders and Royal Engineers if you open with Bolster. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?15 May 2019, 10:10 AM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2019, 07:18 AMEsxile Dunno why you're making those comparisons, I was just saying that for 15 fuel less and grenade/rack/atnade automatically unlocked I can accommodate myself with a one minute delay for my first officer. And you'd be right back at the stupid 'spam Riflemen or float manpower' design USF had before the revamp. You know, when USF was trash? And good luck getting light vehicles out against Ost when they can deploy 444 at the speed you get a single AAHT. Do you seriously hate rack sidetech so much you'd throw the whole faction down the toilet to get rid of it? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tie Call-Ins to tech this patch15 May 2019, 10:03 AM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2019, 09:57 AMDangerous-Cloth Well going for a Tiger is also cheaper economically than teching to a p4 and the tiger is far superior to the p4 too. That doesn't really make a sound argument mate. I don't follow. Avoiding teching costs is the entire problem with call-in heavies: the player who techs is punished for doing so. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF and OKW unit tech. Pathfinders and Jagers14 May 2019, 21:14 PM I think you severely overestimate the resources available to the patching team. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?14 May 2019, 20:20 PM Jump back to quoted post14 May 2019, 20:06 PMKatitof And now go do that math with T1, which unlocks them the exact same things. What's your point? I don't see how pointing out all the little differences in the tech trees is even remotely relevant. The purpose of reducing OKW's starting manpower and increasing their fuel is to weaken their early game infantry presence but accelerate their light vehicles, weakening all-in infantry spam strategies for all OKW matchups. That's it. Jump back to quoted post14 May 2019, 20:13 PMEsxile Hey you know what that's not a secret I like to play mainly USF and I'll be more than happy to see USF starting with -15 fuel and have grenade and weapon rack and ATnade unlocked after first officer on the field. Then you'd be stuck in T0 for another 15 FU and be forced to build more Rifleman squads than you want or need. If you ended up even slightly on the back foot, you'd be forced to float manpower or end up with five or six infantry squads. USF was like that before the rework, and it hamstrung them so badly they got a tech rework specifically to avoid it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?14 May 2019, 20:02 PM Jump back to quoted post14 May 2019, 19:55 PMEsxile Let's not forget that OKW get with its teching, whatever tier the player decide first, HMG, grenade, STGs + T0 raketen. Only Ostheer here get the same package with their first tier but they also pay a lot more for it. They pay less. OST: T1 + BP1 + T2 - starting fuel = 10 + 40 + 20 - 20 = 50. OKW: Truck + T2 - starting fuel = 15 + 45 - 5 = 55. In: COH2 Balance

Although, I agree in modern internet society it may be hard to tell if a person is an ignorant idiot or just pretends to be such. Considering sarcasm is primarily conveyed through tone and this is a text-based medium, yes. In: COH2 Gameplay
