Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback20 Apr 2019, 17:56 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2019, 17:49 PMSully We have STG Volks and G43 Pfuss for that already. IR STG does not fill a gap that isn't already covered and they're especially redundant in the new commander. Adding utility to them is the only way to go without making them OP. That's like saying there's no point getting Shocks if you have Penals. They're both best at short range. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.020 Apr 2019, 16:53 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2019, 16:46 PMmiragefla On Conscripts versus Grenadiers in squad sizes, Grenadiers are also 30 per model while 7 men are 17 per model. 5 men Grens, if they had 0 boosts bleed to death. Theoretically, if we put in a cover bonus, would people prefer offence over defense? And what bonus as Conscripts already get quite a bit of accuracy with veterancy. The advantage of Conscripts is they're mobile: they've got Oorah, they can flank buildings to burn them out and they've got good snares. I think turning them into Ostruppen plays against that. I think the current approach is clever: it makes Cons better andplays into their strengths. A 7-man Con squad can recrew an abandoned team weapon to full without losing the squad. Plus it's clean and obvious what's changing, something this game sorely lacks. If 7-man Cons isn't enough, I'd try 8-man Cons before stat boosts. In: COH2 Balance

I'm going to pick the upgrade that does better DPS at long range, which also greatly reduces the risk of my expensive 4 man infantry squad from getting wiped on retreat. You're assuming the enemy will always fight at the range you want them to. If you're up against Shocks, they're going to close. In that case, you'll want the higher damage weapon at the range they're going to fight at. In: Lobby

Take the Easy Eight: it's an excellent tank, but it's in Rifle Company so you barely ever see it. IR StGs are only available at the moment if you go Special Operations *and* build T3. That's not common. In: Lobby

I hate seeing people stall for heavies in 1v1s. Heavy stalling needs to go. Soviet is the worst offender, but the heavy stalls in all factions are unwarranted punishments for teching.

That's a fair point. Not much else you can really do without fiddling with the Soviet tech structure. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: More uniformity between factions20 Apr 2019, 14:15 PM Uniformity between factions, no. Differences are good if those differences aren't "missing this basic tool." Consistency between factions though, like you've described here? Definitely. Sturmpioneers have sweeper hosltering because they're a 300 MP combat unit, but it couldn't hurt for Pios and Combat Engineers. None of them are spammed as mainlines. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.020 Apr 2019, 14:09 PM I like 7-man. It ups their durability and it's a 17% increase in firepower. It also makes them better at Merge. If it's really not got enough, make it 8-man. That's a much more aesthetic number. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet tank has been too nerfed.20 Apr 2019, 14:03 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2019, 13:34 PMPereat I'm not familiar with the pen calculations in this game. How does 120 pen vs 180 armor compare to 115 pen vs 160 armor? Penetration / Armour = Chance of penetrating 120 / 180 = 67% chance to penetrate 115 / 160 = 72% chance to penetrate In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet tank has been too nerfed.20 Apr 2019, 13:32 PM If the Comet were 500 MP 185 FU, it might just be fine. But it's not. It's behind Hammer. That makes it effectively 700 MP 225 FU for one Comet. That's Tiger price territory. That's two Cromwells or a Cromwell and a Centaur or not far off a Centaur and a Firefly. Is a Comet ever the best option there? In: COH2 Balance
