Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.23 Jan 2019, 23:12 PM If it's an AI tank, it's competing with double Cromwell or double Centaur for a similar price. As an AT tank, it has its own niche. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.23 Jan 2019, 22:40 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2019, 22:17 PMKatitof Comet is a bad tank that was nerfed out of the game, its primary role, standing up to axis armor isn't cost effective post nerfs, its AI is pretty weak(only Panther is weaker) and a churchil + FF is always a better option then comet+anything or double comet. Cost reduction, fotm scatter buff, AoE buff, something is needed. Any of those would do it. It's historically a Firefly replacement armed with a gun very similar to the 17-pounder, so I think turning it into an AT brawler like the Panther is a good fit. UKF doesn't have a brawler AT tank and it's definitely got a use for one as an alternative to the Firefly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.23 Jan 2019, 22:10 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2019, 21:38 PMShadowLinkX37 ok aside from OPs suggestions being omegastrong for my taste, the comet needs something that ISN'T "I have high armor" to warrant its price. Armor is quite literally hit or miss on whether or not it works. This tank would work significantly better if it was more lethal but didn't bounce things as much. I think this hits the nail on the head. All UKF's other tanks have a niche, even if they're not amazing in that niche (coughCromwellcough). The Comet, however, isn't a tank you really have a reason to build. It costs about as much as a Tiger to unlock and build and doesn't really bring anything more to the table than the two UKF medium tanks you could have bought for that price would have.

Thread: Convince me that it's a bad idea with a 1 sniper limit23 Jan 2019, 21:43 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2019, 15:54 PMJoshua85 I kind of like all your ideas ~~but the multi-model squad one is the one you didn't like from before~~ Setup time and bonus range is my personal favourite. It makes them a little better as scouts, it makes them much safer at bleeding team weapons (what I believe they were designed for in the first place) and there's just something aesthetically satisfying about that little setup bar. It also might make snipers a little more about sticking them in a good position like a team weapon and less about A-move kiting. Difficult to predict without testing though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Convince me that it's a bad idea with a 1 sniper limit23 Jan 2019, 20:19 PM I said 'best'. Not 'only'. Light vehicle dives also work, but there's a high risk of trading off or outright losing your vehicle and you're utterly at the mercy of the your vehicle of choice's RNGcannons. Mortars are too random to be reliable sniper counter. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Convince me that it's a bad idea with a 1 sniper limit23 Jan 2019, 14:05 PM The problems with the best counter to the sniper being another sniper are: It doesn't work against a more skilled sniper player, who'll countersnipe your countersniper. It forces you into sniper play. A lot of players loathe both using and fighting snipers. USF and OKW don't get snipers. If removing countersniping would turn snipers into a nightmare then what that says to me is the other counterplays to sniper use are inadequate. It'd be like the only viable counter to a medium tank being another medium tank with superior micro. What's needed is a way to soft-counter snipers. Machine guns counter infantry but infantry have a counterplay of their own: split up and flank it and it has to retreat. Snipers are hard counter or nothing: fight them with anything that's not a diving light vehicle or a sniper and they just back up and kite you, and because they're a single model with bonus health, they don't bleed manpower. Ideas to help with that include: Make them multi-model squads with the same overall durability. That way they bleed manpower when attacked, and attacking a sniper is therefore no longer an all-or-nothing gamble. This isn't a very popular option and is unlikely to happen given the Soviet Sniper was switched away from this. or Give them a setup bar like a Flak HT or team weapon. That way they can't kite: if they're soft-retreating from enemy infantry, they're not shooting. Boost their range a little so they can still fight MGs in buildings. This is probably the most intuitive, user-friendly option, but longer range snipers with a setup time will probably change their playstyle a bit. or Give them a large suppression penalty so small arms fire suppresses them. This'll force a sniper that's taking fire from infantry to retreat. This preserves the current sniper playstyle, but prevents them from ever winning a 1v1 vs an infantry squad that's closed within 35 range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF vs OST Recon Loiter Cost22 Jan 2019, 20:42 PM If you're asking why is it more expensive, because Relic put it at 80 munitions. The M5 halftrack in that doctrine is also a far bit more expensive than the identical Soviet one. If you're asking why should it be more expensive, no real reason. The USF one could be 60 MU and it wouldn't make a huge difference. The OST one could be 80 MU and it wouldn't make a huge difference. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Easy 8 Change Suggestions22 Jan 2019, 17:37 PM Using Cruzz's stat sheet, this is how the two guns stack up against each other. The Panzer IV's main gun has a faster reload, a larger overall area of effect and a larger lethal area of effect (where it does 80 damage and therefore oneshots infantry models) than the Easy 8. However, the scatter and moving accuracy of the E8 are better, so the E8's main gun is more accurate against infantry. In: Lobby
