Thread: Overwatch Flares, rework or remove1 May 2019, 14:50 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 14:42 PMSkysTheLimit I left an "other" for the sake of not having a million choices. You explained your idea, which I appreciate. I wouldn't mind being gone either, but I find that people usually prefer reworks over removal And they're wrong. The difference between an amateur designer and a professional is a professional will cut things that don't serve the whole. The Commander Revamp Patch was very promising when it cut a load of stuff to make way for the new. Then, at the request of the community, it went and rammed it all back in at the last minute, creating the current Mechanized and Overwatch commandrs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Clown Car Accuracy Consistency1 May 2019, 14:48 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 14:47 PMEtherealDragon It does to Relic - it's clearly a kneejerk reaction to meta of Calvary Rifles and Flamer M3 (though 250HT should definitely be included for Infantry Doctrine cheese). M5 isn't a super concern but I agree should probably be included for consistency and for silly things like Bazooka bus which while not super meta probably shouldn't be as good at hunting light tanks. It's a great change regardless because honestly clown car run-downs are pretty cancerous. As written, this targets the USF M3 halftrack. Not the Soviet M3A1 Scout Car. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: NEW COMMANDER PREVIEW - 7.0 version1 May 2019, 14:44 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 14:34 PMnigo +1 UC will be used even less as T0 unit. Nice design. You realise this only delays the Vickers upgrade if you open with Bolster, right? Otherwise you'll have T1 before you can afford a Vickers upgrade. This literally only weakens the Section Spam into Bolster opening. It doesn't even achieve that, given that build usually spends its munitions on grenades instead. Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 05:00 AMWAAAGH2000 WTF NERF for Dodge and M3？ The WC51 opening is the strongest opening USF have at the moment. Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 02:03 AMOutsider_Sidaroth RIP Mechanized Company. Hardly. Cav Rifles in a WC51 are 40% less accurate on the move (0.5 to 0.3), so they won't wipe high health retreating squads in the early game any more. The commander doesn't rely on constant clown car wipes to be competitive. In: Lobby
Thread: Overwatch Flares, rework or remove1 May 2019, 14:33 PM Where's 'remove, don't replace?' Overwatch has six abilities in it. Goliaths and flares should never have been bundled. If it stays, I think the sight radius should be reduced to a pretty token level. Then it serves its original purpose as a warning that Goliaths have been selected. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Clown Car Accuracy Consistency1 May 2019, 14:32 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 14:29 PMSkysTheLimit They probably should be applied, but I won't lose sleep if they aren't. The Soviet m5 comes late enough. True, it's hardly a catastrophe: only the 250 HT and the M3A1 will really care. However, there's a principle here: if the game doesn't give you these stats, they should be consistent and predictable wherever possible. Squads being inaccurate firing out of a moving halftrack makes sense. That inaccuracy only applying to these two? That makes a bit less sense. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Clown Car Accuracy Consistency1 May 2019, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 14:07 PMdistrofio I agree. But you meant to reduce the acc if all vehicle crews among factions? Apologies in advance if I'm explaining something you already know here. Infantry squads have lower accuracy while moving. For the majority of weapons, it's a 50% penalty. While in a halftrack they count as stationary, so this penalty doesn't apply. Therefore, the vehicle itself applies an accuracy penalty to the squad inside it while it's in motion. This is 50% for most vehicles, and the patch makes it 30% for the WC51 and M3 Halftrack. It doesn't matter what squad's in the vehicle: that squad will fire at 30% accuracy if the vehicle's moving. I think this should apply to all the open-top halftracks rather than arbitrarily apply to just these two. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Core changes commander Revamp Patch1 May 2019, 14:18 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 10:21 AMSuperHansFan Rip universal carrier I guess, WASP was trash enough already. Maybe we should hit the comet with a few more nerfs while we're at it. You can get T1 before you hit the munitions to buy a Universal Carrier upgun. This only hurts the quadruple Infantry Section Bolster build. Jump back to quoted post1 May 2019, 12:54 PMKatitof I don't see a reason to pick vickers upgrade for UC now that they both are tech locked. Wasp is superior one here and only reason vickers was picked was because it could arrive early. It will not get soft-removed if it'll stay locked behind T1 as frankly, there is not a single reason to get it over WASP now. The Vickers has a longer range, fires on the move and doesn't replace the stock Bren. Keeping the WASP firing at infantry with snares while protecting it from snares is a fair bit harder than doing the same with the Vickers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Clown Car Accuracy Consistency1 May 2019, 14:04 PM From the patch notes: WC 51 Dodge and M3 -Passenger moving accuracy from 50% to 30%. Will this be applied to all the open-top halftracks when the full patch comes out? It doesn't make much sense to only apply it to these two. In: COH2 Balance

Exactly. The ZiS is the best AT gun by a long shot if what you want is a mortar. In: COH2 Balance
