Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback19 Apr 2019, 19:20 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 19:09 PMdistrofio Still that is power creep, even though you pay for it. Imagine if pz4 could pay side armor skirts, tungsten rounds for extra pen and he rounds like Sherman's. It would be insanely OP Armour skirts are a bad example, most Ostheer tanks already conjure them with veterancy. But true, I don't much like the idea of a T-34/76 upgrading into a KV-1, and this is pretty much the same thing. I think it should at least cost fuel and be mutually exclusive with the .50 cal. Ideally, ditch it entirely and add some sort of Sherman Jumbo unit instead. In: Lobby
Thread: Reserve New Dozers19 Apr 2019, 19:05 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 18:40 PMTiger Baron If it's possible to put the dozer on the 76 Sherman it could very well be it's own thing and be a Jumbo in it's meatshield capabilities but a Sherman Bulldozer in name and with not a very good gun, just a regular 75mm with standard rounds, maybe similar to the Cromwell one. In retrospect, why does it need a bulldozer at all? The Improved Fortification upgrade icon's enough to indicate it's had its durability increased. It could literally just be a speed for durability tradeoff. Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 18:35 PMShadowLinkX37 Yeah literally #USFOP. Who even thinks of this stuff. Was the HE sherman not strong enough before??? If this upgrade's a thing, it should be -20% speed and -20% acceleration. That'd make it as fast as a KV-1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.019 Apr 2019, 16:46 PM I'm all for buffing the SU-76, but it becoming a solid destroyer of medium tanks makes locking heavies to tech in this patch an even greater priority. Otherwise all you've achieved is giving IS-2/KV-2 stallers a mobile answer to medium tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Feedback for New Commander mod 4.0 - OST core changes19 Apr 2019, 15:04 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2019, 21:02 PMKatitof I've got the feeling that M42 canister range nerf will simply kill the ability for good. Possibly. It's not completely useless, but it'd be like buying a ZiS for indirect. Maybe they could make it a timed ability instead? 30 muni, switches to canisters for 30 seconds, cancelable? That'd keep the potency of one gun, but break the murderblob. A little like what they did to the SU-76. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reserve New Dozers19 Apr 2019, 15:00 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 14:49 PMTiger Baron If the "hypothetical Sherman jumbo" gets a 75mm gun somehow then it'd very much a Jumbo since they were only upgraded with the 76mm gun much later and they used that turret because of it's bigger weight limit. As much as I'd love to see it, I don't think replacing the Dozer Upgrade with an outright Sherman Jumbo is on the cards. You're right though, if there were a way to stick the shorter gun on it you'd have a spitting image of the real thing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.019 Apr 2019, 13:49 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 13:42 PMVipper The barrage gets a massive buff with veterancy becoming superior to that of zis and with changes to mortars it is actually very effective. But it costs munitions. When it didn't, spammed SU-76ms could all fire it. With a muni cost it doesn't scale when you spam them. Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 13:42 PMVipper Again watch the replay. The accuracy is simply too high while penetration remains high. Even with lower accuracy the unit would hardly miss due to collision hits. Then surely lowering accuracy wouldn't achieve the intended goal? There are plenty of other variables to play with if it's too strong. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.019 Apr 2019, 13:20 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 13:08 PMVipper Coh is based on RNG +100% chance to score a hit at max range is goes against the games design and is simply not necessary. Else one has to lower penetration more or the unit will again be spammed. With a munitions cost on the barrage that's not all that different to spamming any other sort of TD. Two SU-76ms have a higher damage output than one SU-85, but lack self-spotting and their penetration drops off once you go above an Ostheer P4. You could play with their range and fire rate if they're too effective versus Ostheer T3, but I see nothing wrong with a low performance variance in a reactive counter unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.019 Apr 2019, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 12:57 PMVipper Su-76 does not need 100% chance to hit PzIV at range 60 (max) to be good. Accuracy that is so high is simply broken. It is combined with an IS-2 or KV-2 call-in. But you scratch those and it's fine imho. I'd like to see similar performance on the StuG (which is in direct competition with its respective medium) but I see no problem with the SU-76m being reliable. If it's too effective, I'd tone down the fire rate before handing its performance over to the random number gods. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reserve New Dozers19 Apr 2019, 12:52 PM I made a visual mockup of the upgrade icon idea. It's the Improved Fortifications symbol from Advanced Emplacements, so it's already in the game. It does mean you couldn't get a .50 cal on an uparmoured basic Sherman, but that might not necessarily be a bad thing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on Panzergrenadiers19 Apr 2019, 12:26 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 12:14 PMBalanced_Gamer It needs some buffs for its underwhelming performance. I do not think the recent changes have improved Panzergrenadiers at all. It is just timing changes. Performance needs to be looked over Timing changes are huge. Look at Recon Support Company: dropping I&R Paras and the Greyhound by 1CP turned it from off-meta into a powerhouse that needed emergency patching. PGrens also get a new Vet 1 passive. I'm much happier they're slow-buffing PGrens in the balance patch than buffing them to insanity and slow nerfing them after release. In: COH2 Balance
