Thread: What is the REAL problem with Ost T4?6 Mar 2020, 15:51 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2020, 15:34 PMSuperHansFan Did you guys not factor in 3vs3 and up players can field as many panthers or Churchill's as they like due to the absence of any infantry backbone that 1vs1 requires? Given Sander39 is the balance team's resident teamgame expert, I suspect he knows what he's talking about. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: 5CP Puma is way too late6 Mar 2020, 13:23 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2020, 13:18 PMJibberJabberJobber I'll try to find some replays for you, so you can prepare for the next patch. AE's channel should have loads. This strategy was all over GCS2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 5CP Puma is way too late6 Mar 2020, 13:16 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2020, 11:57 AMT.R. Stormjäger Very interesting. I’m definitely giving this a try once the patch comes out. You didn't already know that? Why are you suggesting buffing the once dominating Mobidef strategy when you're not even familiar with it? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is the REAL problem with Ost T4?5 Mar 2020, 15:52 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2020, 14:28 PMelchino7 Right now OH has 2 problems: the eternal issue of dealing cost effectively with light vehicles during the early-mid game and the transition to dealing with vehicles with more than 800HP and +200 armor. A solution to the LV problem: https://www.coh2.org/topic/103763/ostheer-tech-restructure The heavy vehicle problem is also a fairly straightforward fix: increase the penetration on the Panther so it kills unsupported heavies again.

Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 15:16 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 15:16 PMVipper I am simply pointing out that Ram is being used in high level play also. Ram, sure. But ram alone is trading your tank for a snare. That's very situational. In: Lobby
Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 13:10 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 12:53 PMT.R. Stormjäger You completely missed the point. Ram + rockets strafe should be viable and effective, but not a brainless 2 clicks without the opponent having any chance of counterplay. This is why clown car with snipers was killed, because there was no counterplay. Forcing you to first damage a tank before you ram it would allow the opponent to play conservatively and keep his distance to avoid getting rammed. The counterplay is not stalling for a Tiger once you've seen SVT Cons. If it's acceptable for heavies to shut down so many strategies, it seems fair enough that there are strategies that shut them down right back. In: Lobby
Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 12:49 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 12:38 PMT.R. Stormjäger Say your thanks to the balance team. I have suggested a month ago that full health heavy tanks shouldn't be stunned by rams and full health mediums should be stunned for a very short amount of time, but nobody cared. The bottom line is this: Ram shouldn't work on full health armour. It's only a viable trade against expensive tanks, and is available in a doctrine that gets no doctrinal armour of its own. If you Tiger stall against a player playing Soviet Airborne in 1v1, you deserve everything you get. In: Lobby
Thread: Brummbar change1 Mar 2020, 19:57 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2020, 19:52 PMMazianni Could just give some of the old range back to make it more effective versus ATGs. I thought about it for a while and agree projectile speed increases may be problematic. But surely a range increase on the autofire wouldnt make this thing too beastly versus its intended targets, particularly considering its unit cost and T4 cost. Flat armor buff would be too much too since this thing is already tough enough for most AT sources to kill and ATGs are the most susceptable to its current weaponry anyway. All increasing the projectile speed does is make the autofire accuracy closer to the manual targeting accuracy. If that makes it too accurate, it's already too accurate. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brummbar change1 Mar 2020, 19:43 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2020, 19:36 PMKatitof Manual targetting is as effective as units scatter. If you nerf manual targeting, you're nerfing autofire equally as well. There is no power spike with manual targetting, manual targetting simply assures the squad is centered in the scatter box while autofire can put it at the edges of the squad due to targetting models on the sides. The power spike is the shells actually hit. With the Brummbar, the shells are so slow that if you fire at a moving target, they'll barely hit at all. The targeting algorithm doesn't lead shots, so you have to manually target them to hit. This isn't a problem for units with faster shells because the travel time is that much shorter. Speeding up the Brummbar's shells to a speed more like the KV-2 mitigates that. It doesn't buff manually targeted shots (which are led), but closes the gap between its manually targeted performance and its autofire performance to something more comparable to a normal tank.
