Thread: Would Tech Heavies Be Game Breaking?25 Jan 2019, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2019, 11:49 AMStug life hoo the old 5 tiger meta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HLTGMDmHsw Four Tigers nowadays would require 92 popcap. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Would Tech Heavies Be Game Breaking?25 Jan 2019, 10:55 AM This came up in the Comet thread and I'm curious as to what people think here. Is limiting heavy tanks to 1 a fundamental balance necessity, or is it just to balance them being call-ins? Say you tied all the heavy tanks to tech. You have to tech up to unlock them like the KV-1 or King Tiger, but once you do, you can build as many as you can afford the resource and popcap cost for. Would that break the game, or would the resource and popcap costs balance it out? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: All the things Penals can annihilate25 Jan 2019, 10:23 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2019, 10:14 AMIncendiaryRounds Only thing about penals I don't get is that they specifically buffed the ptrs damage against infantry. That encourages blobbing and spamming penals. No other handheld weapons do infantry damage. Schreck pgrens anti-inf is basically reduced to probably only being able to kill unupgraded combat engis while prts penals are still decent vs infantry AND has a snare. What are you talking about? They did the exact opposite: they nerfed Penal and Conscript PTRS anti-infantry damage so they wouldn't be like Guards. A Penal PTRS rifle has a maximum of 0.423 DPS. That's about as much damage as an Ostheer Pioneer firing at maximum range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brace Idea24 Jan 2019, 23:41 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 20:59 PMTactical Imouto Sure if you make the Bofors not cost anything tied to tech and u get a free one like the OKW to lock down pieces of map I'm not sure a 120 fuel limited-to-one Bofors that disables tank production when destroyed would be a buff.

Thread: Brace Idea24 Jan 2019, 20:18 PM Emplacements Regiment's problem is the completely broken Repair Assembly, which is able to heal an emplacement through four LeiGs barraging it constantly. Prevent the repair robots from healing emplacements and the whole thing falls apart. Which'd be good, because it's awful. The ideal emplacement is the OKW Flak. It'll hold ground pretty effectively, but if you barrage it for a bit or throw a tank at it you can clear it out fairly easily. They force the enemy to commit a substantial force rather than a couple of units, but they won't hold a point alone against said substantial force. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brace Idea24 Jan 2019, 19:05 PM My point is that anything that's static and you have poured resources in it becomes a liability in that you have to babysit it That's sort of the idea. An emplacement with toggleable Brace can stay in Brace indefinitely, giving you time to react and protect it. On the flipside, forcing an emplacement into Brace disables it, so as the opponent you can play around emplacements with a loosely similar back and forth to a retreating and advancing team weapon. Shell a Bofors enough to brace it and it's out of action, allowing you to attack the units near it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brace Idea24 Jan 2019, 17:50 PM I'm not sure what UKF's problems in general have to do with changing Brace. If anything, being able to use a mortar pit without surrounding it with trenches and Bofors would help with that rather than hurt. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brace Idea24 Jan 2019, 17:35 PM An idea I had for the UKF Brace ability that might make it a bit less frustrating to play around and encourage mixing emplacements and mobile forces rather than going all-in on one or the other. Brace Brace is now a toggled ability: the structure will remain braced (weapons disabled, 0.25 received damage, 0.25 received repair iirc) until you unbrace it. After disabling Brace, the emplacement's weapons will remain disabled for 60 seconds. The idea is to make Brace functionally more like a retreat. You can shut down the emplacement as long as you need to, but doing so pretty much removes it from that engagement. It should make using singular emplacements more viable as they can last a little longer hunkered down, but it'll make SimCities a bit more difficult to use: a misjudged Brace will leave them defenceless.

Thread: UKF needs real buff , MAKE UKF GREAT AGAIN24 Jan 2019, 15:24 PM The AEC's okay against infantry. The main gun doesn't do much, but the coaxial MG provides useful fire support. Sapper snares is okay. Section Spam is pretty strong as-is: putting snares on IS would further encourage it. The Bolster upgrade works pretty well as is: it's enough of a setback that you'd consider delaying it to accelerate your teching, but not so expensive that teching it early cripples you. The mobile elements of UKF are in a pretty functional state at the moment. UKF's problem is a large amount of UKF's roster is emplacements, and they need a total overhaul. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why nobody uses tank traps?24 Jan 2019, 15:13 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 10:06 AMBlue Magic They seem pretty useful for early mid game at least, especially when you need a flank locked to enemy vehicles because you have sniper mortars lefh and what not Mostly because there are very few uncrushable chokepoints to tanktrap up. Even when there are, mines are much more effective as they'll snare the tank. In: Strategy Desk
