Thread: why Rangers dont have any utility skill?13 Apr 2019, 10:25 AM There's nothing wrong with Rangers being a straightforward unit. Putting abilities on a unit just for the sake of it is an awful design philosophy. in now, he is strong but just A-click stupid unit If you attack move a Ranger you're using it wrong. In: Lobby
Thread: Preventing WC-51 and Clown Car Cheese12 Apr 2019, 22:58 PM That'd make mines affect the Bazooka Bus and that's about it. The powerful combos (Flamer M3, Cav Rifle WC51) don't have sweepers. Only way I can think of to fix that is to trash the garrison squad's moving accuracy so the vehicle has to stop for them to hit anything. That'd kill the chasing, but it'd probably kill the M3 and WC51 too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Overwatch Flares12 Apr 2019, 22:56 PM At this point I'd replace Early Warning Systems with Goliath and be done with it. Overwatch has JLI for scouting now and it's got six abilities as is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Feedback for New Commander mod 4.0 - OST core changes12 Apr 2019, 22:45 PM Ostwind changes look promising, but that Ostwind suppression bulletin probably needs to be scrapped if the Ostwind's becoming meta. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Clown Cars12 Apr 2019, 17:31 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2019, 16:55 PMThe_Usurper86 f they do this to Volks, wouldn't one then argue Cons should get AT nade outright as well without having to tech? In my book? Yes. I'd unlock the molotov as well. The current design promotes all or nothing on Conscripts. Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2019, 17:15 PMWingZero @ OP I like your changes across the board with exception to 2 items: 1) I think the occupant accuracy should stay as it is because of considerable amount of investment for early game and the micro tax to chase units. 2) I don't think VGs should get snare early as "The_Usurper86" mentioned above. The problem with moving accuracy is you mess up an engagement as the opponent, your squad's probably dead. And early game wipes swing the game hard. The WC51/Cav Rifle combo added in the last patch is a retreat-wiping machine. Trashing the garrisoned squad's moving accuracy is the only way I can think of to break that combo without nerfing the WC51 or Cav Rifles into oblivion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Clown Cars12 Apr 2019, 15:56 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2019, 14:49 PMTiger Baron I am not sure exactly why the UC is considered as a "clown car" when you take into account that it's occupants cannot fire out of the vehicle. The M3's nicknamed the Clown Car. The WC51 works the same way, and the Universal Carrier fills a similar early light fire support role. It was a nice alliterative name for the thread. I can ask a moderator to change it to 'Ultralight Vehicles' if people are losing sleep over it. Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2019, 14:56 PMSeductiveCardbordBox I smell some bias. Then take a shower. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens12 Apr 2019, 14:42 PM Grens are very good at what they're designed for: being cheap, high damage long-range cover combat infantry. Turning them into another jack-of-all-ranges Volksgrenadier squad isn't the answer. The problem isn't Grens, it's that Ostheer's mid-close infantry (Panzergrenadiers) aren't fit for purpose.

Thread: Clown Cars12 Apr 2019, 14:32 PM A set of changes intended to make the WC51, Universal Carrier and M3 Scout Car less game-warping 'all-or-nothing' units. Especially in the OKW-SOV matchup the game can largely come down to if you hit an early mine or not. These simple changes are intended to make them a little more reliable but less snowbally. Standardize Health to WC51 Currently the Universal Carrier and Soviet M3 are oneshot by mines. The WC51 is not. Increase the health of the Universal Carrier and Soviet M3 to WC51 levels so basic mines don't oneshot them. You'll need a squad to follow up to kill a UC or Clown Car with a Sturmpio mine. Increase Moving Accuracy Penalty for Garrisoned Squads I'm fairly sure the moving accuracy penalty for a squad in a vehicle is tied to the vehicle. It's 0.5 by default: make it 0.2. You're not going to reliably hit infantry firing out of a moving vehicle. That should prevent garrisonable cars from chasing down and wiping squads in the early game, particularly the notorious WC51/Cav Rifle combo. Self-Repair The WC51 can decrew and heal itself. The Universal Carrier has a self-repair ability, but it doesn't fully repair it. The M3 needs to be fixed by engineers. Make the UC self-repair fully heal the vehicle, and give that ability to the M3 too. This brings the two more expensive cars up to the WC51's level in sustainability. Give Volksgrenadiers snares immediately The only purpose of gating Volksgrenadier Panzerfausts behind the first truck serves is to allow ultralights near total freedom against OKW in the first few minutes. If the cars can freely self-repair, this restriction isn't necessary to make the cars viable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?12 Apr 2019, 11:52 AM I think there's a little more to do than that. The OKW-Soviet matchup needs looking at for a start. The Clown Car is far too game-defining right now. SOV needs to be able to do better without it and OKW needs to get less rekt if they fail to rak it or bait it over a mine in the first couple of minutes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on Panzergrenadiers12 Apr 2019, 00:15 AM I think they should get the Cav Rifle 'Covering Fire' ability. It trashes the speed and damage of the targeted squad: it's like an infantry version of Button. It'd give Ostheer something it desperately needs (a non-vehicular counter to CQC infantry like Shocks) without turning PGrens themselves into CQC powerhouses. In: COH2 Balance
