Thread: WASP locked behind Platoon CP5 Jan 2019, 13:41 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2019, 13:09 PMddd But they can get sturmpio shreck or raketten without teching... In 1v1, UKF can tech T1 (and sometimes Bolster too) faster than they can amass the munitions to buy the WASP in the first place. UKF starts on 20 FU and T1 costs 30. You can get 10 FU much faster than 75 MU. It's mostly a teamgame limitation as far as I know, where munitions roll in a lot faster and it was apparently a problem. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: WASP locked behind Platoon CP5 Jan 2019, 13:08 PM I don't remember exactly, but IIRC it's so OKW can get some AT defence up before the baby Flamer HT rocks up. The Vickers upgrade isn't locked though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Motherland HMGs rework4 Jan 2019, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2019, 13:31 PMKatitof They couldn't fix that, because it wasn't broken. Team weapons decrew when they have less entities then minimum amount to operate the weapon. For all ATGs and mortars its 2 men, but 120mm needs only 1, like HMGs. PACK howi needs 3, so when 2 are left, it'll be decrewed and you can't do anything about it either as that's how the weapon works mechanically. I spoke to Mr.Smith about it at the time. If they could have made the 120mm decrew at 2 men like every other mortar in the game, they would have. It's not something the mod tools can change, so they reduced the crew size to create a similar effect. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Motherland HMGs rework4 Jan 2019, 13:25 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2019, 10:57 AMTactical Imouto We have a 5 man 120mm mortar though That's because it decrews at 1 man instead of 2, and they couldn't fix that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Another JLI Idea3 Jan 2019, 15:18 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2019, 15:11 PMVipper IR pathfinder where 3 men and where buffed to 4 for a reason. Reducing the close DPS of K98 of JLI would help allot in establishing them as long range inf with a weakness in CQC. (relative positioning) I&R Pathfinders had one sniper rifle with a 40% crit threshold. Even at 4 men they kinda suck. 3 man I&R Pathfinders with 0.9 cover accuracy, +50% accuracy First Strike bonus and 75% crit threshold'd probably be pretty good. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Another JLI Idea3 Jan 2019, 14:35 PM Jaeger Light Infantry are the hot topic of the balance forum at the moment, with their very high damage and low cost leading to spam and lots of angry forum posts. Most of the suggestions involve toning down JLI's damage to cost ratio: pushing them up to 280-300 MP is the usual suggestion, with others involving toning down their ambush and sniping bonuses or increasing their munitions cost. But what if you left their damage alone, and toned down their durability instead? Jaeger Light Infantry squad size from 4 men to 3. Sniper Rifle unlocked automatically. Possibly increase their range slightly. This'd keep JLI's performance pretty much the same in the role they're designed for: sitting at the back in a cover fight getting snipes, with other infantry screening for them. However, they'd be more vulnerable to their counters (CQC and vehicles), making spamming them not viable at all. You'd need other squads to screen for them, much like protecting a sniper. You could do something similar for Pathfinders too: drop their cost substantially, but reduce them to 3 men. That'd make them high damage, high LoS recon squads that can dish out a lot of damage but really don't want to be taking fire themselves. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer Elite Inspired OKW Tech Structure3 Jan 2019, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2019, 12:52 PMWiderstreit Looks solide, but why should Volks get their abilities even later than current? The fire-grenade would arrive way too late. And the faust is an essential tool versus M3 and carriers, it shouldn't be relevant which truck you picked. The flame grenade is from an older draft before I increased the cost of the trucks. I'll delete that. 'Mobilize Mechanized Divisions' is a global upgrade from the HQ which unlocks light armor. Panzerfausts are locked behind it to preserve their current timing. I can see how that name would be confusing, so I'll rename it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panzer Elite Inspired OKW Tech Structure3 Jan 2019, 12:21 PM Swapped the first two units of Mechanized and Schwerer over to make the unit selections a little better rounded. Early Obersoldaten are now paired with the Puma instead of the Luchs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW overhaul discussion3 Jan 2019, 01:07 AM That'd be pretty neat. You could replace Spec Ops Flares with the now removed IR HT. T1's a unit down in that setup though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer Elite Inspired OKW Tech Structure2 Jan 2019, 22:51 PM Cheaper. Not free. The ideal point IMO is pricing them so losing a truck hurts, but isn't such a crippling blow that they end up just being built in the base sector. In: COH2 Gameplay
