Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback23 Apr 2019, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 15:58 PMblancat 1) decrew remove is not good idea because WC 51 armor is very low The Change will be a boring play because it will have more time to repair than to fight And it doesn't solve WC 51's problem price nerf (200 -> 210/5 fuel) is enough because the more USFs use WC 51, the later the teaching will be delayed Slowing initial teching as USF means you have to spam Rifles. Their tech was overhauled in the first place to avoid that. Removing decrew is specifically to force the WC51 to retreat to Rear Echelons after taking too much fire. It allows you to damage it as a counterplay. The current WC51 will retreat behind a shotblocker and rapidly heal itself. It works well with the Universal Carrier. If you want a self-healing halftrack, that's what the M3 is for. 2) I agree to delete the Mark target but i want to see this skill in another commander During the revamp I frequently suggested Mark Target as a replacement for Elite Crews. 3) There is no reason to remove Dozer blade and Motar halftrack There's no reason to include them either. Or would you propose we put them in every commander? In: Lobby
Thread: Sniper Retreat23 Apr 2019, 17:20 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 16:06 PMElSlayer I also wonder why there is general consensus that it is ok to wipe a 360 MP unit (that requires additional MP for screening to use) with a flank or LV chase but it is not ok to wipe 240MP grens? (so much discussion on survivability of grens and adding 5th model) Because normal squads bleed. Snipers are all or nothing. It's an extreme risk-reward unit: if you don't throw all your energy into pulverising it the moment it shows its face, the opponent gets the reward. It'd be a different story if they cost manpower to heal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sniper Retreat23 Apr 2019, 15:50 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 15:30 PMIntelligence209 Iv noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the 222 chasing retreating snipers with little or no damage done to it. Then you chase back into base and sniper circles HQ and gets away because of guards/cons/penals. I would vote in increase damage to sniper on retreat. It's because retreating units get a boost to received accuracy: each shot has a lower chance to hit them. The chasing vehicle is essentially rolling a dice over and over trying to roll a six.

Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.023 Apr 2019, 14:33 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 14:16 PMVipper Setting Riflemen as the benchmark only increases the power level of units. VG and Penal would still be OP, while grenadier and conscripts would still be UP. Not really Soviet are doing fine the conscript issue is diversity issue not balance issue, it is the Ostheer that struggle. That's all well and good when you've got a lot of balancing resources available. In the current circumstances, minimising the amount of balance work that needs doing is a very important consideration. Resources are very limited. Having a power against cost line you're trying to put units on is a good idea, but in the present circumstances you'd want to draw that line through as many units as possible rather than draw it through Grenadiers and adjust everything to fit it.

Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.023 Apr 2019, 13:23 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 13:13 PMT.R. Stormjäger The only benchmark I actually see, if there is such a thing, is the 1bar riflemen vs stg volks matchup. I don't think you need a benchmark though, considering there are 5 factions. I would be content if everything was balanced around a single unit, but alas that is not what's happening. Case of point, the buffs to Panzergrenadiers had nothing to do with Grenadiers performance, and neither do the upcoming buffs to conscripts which have to do with penals and guards. Relic's early balancing process involved setting initial costs using an 'effective value' equation. They used Grenadiers as the benchmark other infantry squads were compared to. Vipper's stance, if I've understood it correctly, is that this approach should be continued and all infantry squads should be rebalanced around the Grenadier. When building the game in the first place, this is a sensible approach. It stops you getting into a cycle of buff leapfrog and keeps the goalposts fixed in one place. At this point though, with a populated game and very limited balancing resources? It's not hard to see why the balance team chooses to buff one or two squads rather than nerf eight or nine.

Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback23 Apr 2019, 13:06 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 12:54 PMJibberJabberJobber I'd rather see the skillflares removed from Overwatch. Moving the skillstrafe from Overwatch would only shift the problem to Grand Offensive. So would I, but there's no hope of getting that in scope. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback23 Apr 2019, 12:59 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 12:48 PMSmartie Overwatch should lose the leFH thats for sure, Goliath should occupy 1 commander slot. Its harder to take away 1 commander ability from US Mechanized though. A good start would be to take away the AT satchel from Cav rifles and make the WC51 more expensive. Mechanized? Easy. WC51 155mm Artillery moved to command bar, Mark Target removed, decrew removed M3 Halftrack Unchanged. Cavalry Riflemen Unchanged. 155mm Artillery Restored. 76mm Sherman 75mm Dozer Blades removed. Mechanized is so powerful because it's a do-everything commander. It doesn't need a mortar halftrack, that's Infantry Company's thing. Meatshield medium tanks are Armor and Rifle's things. As for Overwatch, I'd remove one of the munition-hoggers rather than the leFH. Probably Sector Assault. In: Lobby

I'm suggesting removing it from Overwatch at the same time. Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 11:14 AMWittmann39 No idea about why panzerfusiliers can not be a call-in unit and why they are so special? It doesn't really make a difference with CP0 units.

Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback23 Apr 2019, 12:39 PM Slightly left field idea: this doctrine's themed around a Grand Offensive, right? If Panzer Commander really is unsatisfactory, maybe steal Sector Assault from Overwatch? It fits the theme and would replace the munitions sink. A secondary perk is Overwatch has five abilities again instead of six. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback23 Apr 2019, 12:34 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 12:18 PMSmartie All in all i would like to see more commander variation in high level games. Im a huge fan of this game and we have great casters but right now its really hard to get excited if you see US mech and OKW Spec ops in 95% of all games. Tie all the heavies to tech, remove 33% of the content from Mechanized and Overwatch. Bam. In: Lobby
