Thread: Sections need their out of cover stats reverted26 Apr 2019, 12:01 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2019, 11:42 AMEsxile The extra 100 manpower they get is to compensate the manpower cost they added to trucks, can't be more clear and precise. Let you check post 102 100 manpower added at the same time SWS Trucks became constructible. from 240 to 340. 240 was enough to build your first volks squad or kubel right off the bat. That sounds simple to fix: cut 100 MP off all the truck setups, remove the extra 100 starting MP. That weakens OKW's opening, but saves them 100 MP on the SPHQ and makes their sideteching/truck rebuild cost 200 MP instead of 300 MP. You'd need to adjust Bolster and the M3 Scout Car at the same time. Possibly shift the M3's cost from fuel to manpower and rework Bolster into a 60 MU squad upgrade. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Sections need their out of cover stats reverted25 Apr 2019, 18:37 PM UKF spams Infantry Sections with grenades for the two reasons. The first is because Bolster is a global upgrade. You get a bigger return on it the more squads you build. The second is because UKF needs a ton of squads on the field to flank HMGs. Have you ever tried playing UKF without Section Spam? It's not pretty. The solution seems simple to me. Firstly, give UKF a mortar. If you deprive a faction of basic shit like that, you prevent it from playing normal combined arms. Of course it's going to resort to cheese. Secondly, rework Bolster into a per-squad upgrade like Veteran Squad Leaders. That'll make the cost of bolstering scale to the number of squads you build.

Thread: Tie Call-Ins to tech this patch25 Apr 2019, 18:01 PM The oft-quoted but not officially confirmed line is heavy call-ins will get tied to tech in the next big patch after this one. The reasoning is there's a lot of testing that needs to be done to rebalance the heavies to still be relevant after that change, and that can't be done in that patch cycle. The problem is a lot of the patch changes will also buff the call-in strats. The SU-76 is getting buffed, Assault Grenadiers are getting buffed to relevance and Rangers are getting both a cost buff and triple elite bazookas to act as an AT stopgap. IS-2 and KV-2 stallers get a solid anti-tank vehicle to bridge the gap, Tiger stallers get scaling CQC infantry and Pershing stallers get cheaper Rangers with the option to turn them into what may be the best anti-tank infantry in the game. In light of this, can we tie the heavies to tech now rather than in the next patch? Sure, maybe they'll not be optimal for a while, but better that than a patch cycle of buffed call-in strats. Plus, the team behind the next patch will have several months of live data on how heavies perform tied to tech before they start tweaking their stats, so the performance changes whenever they happen will be better informed.

So did most of the community. That's why they're adding the UI indicators. Hopefully Commandos get them too, given they get super Brens. In: Lobby

When they say paratroopers I suspect they mean the ones from the Recon Support commander, as they were the first to get the super bazookas. So they may have forgotten to add it to the paras from Airborne, hopefully that isn't the case. They explicitly added it to Airborne Paratroopers in DBP. It's in the patch notes if you're willing to scroll back far enough. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback24 Apr 2019, 22:42 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2019, 22:30 PMMrBananaGrabber. Should the paras from Airborne Company also get improved bazookas? It would be a really nice buff for that commander. They already do. They're looking to put in a UI indicator to actually tell you Paratroopers and Rangers get super bazookas. In: Lobby

Thread: Nexus - Spring Automatch Discussion24 Apr 2019, 20:28 PM Some of the garrisons have sight blockers around them to limit their field of fire. The problem with that is Assault Engineers and Royal Engineers can blow those blockers up, giving a huge zone of control to those houses before the tools to destroy them are readily available. It may be worth replacing those buildings with ones that simply don't have windows in the directions you don't want them to shoot. That, or use indestructible blockers. In: Mapping Discussion
