Thread: Improving the abandon mechanic19 Apr 2019, 12:14 PM The abandon mechanic's problem is it's a 5% probability. That's far too unlikely to plan around, so in practice you get randomly screwed. Either ditch it entirely or rework it into something more reliable but less powerful. For example, increase the abandon chance to 20%, but you can't recrew the vehicle until it's fully repaired.

Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.019 Apr 2019, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 12:00 PMVipper Su-76 If they unit is going to be touched it need its XP value to be increased currently it vet way too fast. With new accuracy values at vet 2 Su-76 has 0.05/0.04/0.0375 0.065/0.052/0.04875 which translates 100% chance to hit a PzIV at range 60 which is simply too high. Chance to hit and penetrate a Ostheer PzIV at that range would be 89%. The unit must simply be balanced at all vet levels. If the SU-76 isn't good against mediums, what's it for? Its casemate design makes it suck against lights (which'll just circle-strafe it) and it's too small to fight heavies. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reserve New Dozers19 Apr 2019, 11:55 AM If they moved the uparmouring upgrade to the 76mm Sherman instead then they've practically made a Jumbo. They're visually really similar. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sherman Visuals19 Apr 2019, 11:53 AM That's better than it was, but "Bulldozer + Bulldozer on icon means 105, Bulldozer but no Bulldozer on icon means 75mm" is still a bit you looked it up or you didn't. I'm wondering if there are any other resources to play with. The only other idea I've got is a weapon upgrade icon, which'd make the 75mm Bulldozer incompatible with the .50 cal. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sherman Visuals19 Apr 2019, 11:28 AM A question for the people who know their mods. What other visuals are available for the basic Sherman model apart from the bulldozer and different turrets? I'm wondering if there's anything that could be used to visually distinguish the 105mm Sherman Bulldozer and Sherman uparmouring upgrade Urban Assault and Mechanized are getting. Currently it sticks a Dozer Blade on the front, which means the only visual difference with the Bulldozer is a slightly thicker turret. What resources do we have to play with here? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Reserve New Dozers19 Apr 2019, 11:22 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2019, 08:59 AMSander93 Easy 8 is 380mp / 140fu and completely dominates OKW Panzer IV which costs about the same. It's okay for doctrinal units to be better than stock units and force specific counters. The M4's "better AT" is neglectable (or arguably worse) because Axis tanks have higher armor values by default. M4 with dozer for 40mp / 30fu would cost the same as Easy 8 with same armor and effective HP while being slower and being (a lot) worse at AT, but having a bit better AI instead. That sounds like it's turning into a better Sherman 105. Same armour, same bulldozer, different gun. All that visually separates them is a slightly thicker, stubbier turret on the 105. Maybe you could make the upgrade mutually exclusive with the .50 cal so you can add the Advanced Emplacements fortification symbol to it? That'd make it very obvious it's an uparmoured Sherman.

Thread: Ingame Indication For Elite Weapons18 Apr 2019, 22:28 PM The next patch looks to be adding the Elite Bazooka to Rangers on the weapon racks. While this is an interesting change, it does highlight a major problem with these elite variants: it's documented nowhere ingame. Unless you look up stats online, you don't know that Commandos pick up a Super Bren from the racks with a ton more damage that fires on the move. You don't know that Rangers and Paras get Super Bazookas. This needs to be indicated somewhere, ideally as an obvious fake passive on the unit itself. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reserve New Dozers18 Apr 2019, 20:25 PM In the most recent update to the Commander Mod, the Dozer Blade upgrade for the Sherman had an armour boost added. This turns it into a pretty nice upgrade package in its own right. With its value increased, should it be removed from Mechanized? It runs the risk of overshadowing the 76mm Sherman, and Mechanized already has a really strong early game. It's also a better thematic fit for Urban Assault. Thoughts? In: COH2 Balance
