Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart24 Dec 2018, 18:53 PM Maybe its snare and blind could lose the mutually exclusive cooldown, Shock Troops style? The snare's neat, but the Stuart'll die before it can use it without the blind. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost24 Dec 2018, 13:00 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 12:47 PMVipper Opel truck is also cheaper and hardy used in 1vs1. That's because all an Opel truck can do is be a cache. A 223 can... ...fight like an M20 Utility Car. ...passively detect vehicles through the fog of war. ...drop medical supplies. ...provide a lot of sight. ...deploy smoke with veterancy. ...turn into a cache. ...deploy very early without teching in a weaker form, then refit itself into a full 223. If you zero in on only one of these abilities, it's pretty lackluster. But it can do all of them, switching roles as needed. The balance team did a good job on it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost24 Dec 2018, 12:45 PM Kubel does not require tech cost and it is allot cheaper. Kubel spam was a problem but the unit is hardy used now, the 221 is simply not cost efficient. It's not meant to be. If it were, you'd see them spammed. Imagine playing against Soviet T1 as USF. The purpose of the 221 is to provide some helpful extra firepower and anti-team weapon support before the 223 upgrade unlocks. The 223 upgrade turns it into an anti-infantry 222 with a load of useful support abilities. It can also turn into a cache when you're not using it to pay back its fuel cost. It is, first and foremost, a utility vehicle. If you'd rather an anti-infantry shock unit, build the Luchs. And making it useless make revamping the commander pointless. There's a world of difference between being useless and being a shock unit. The 221 is useful if you have it. The 223 is simply a more durable OPEL truck with 30 fuel cost and 4 pop and thus inferior. Opel trucks aren't fast, armoured and armed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost24 Dec 2018, 12:30 PM No it is not it has only 1 armor more than Kubel, which come earlier and and is much cheaper. And the Kubel had its armour reduced because small arms, all USF and UKF have to fight it early on, weren't reliable against it. You make it more powerful, you turn it into a shock unit. You turn it into a shock unit, Elite Armor doctrine will become oppressive. As a non-upgradable unit, it'd be pretty meh. But it isn't a non-upgradeable unit. If you don't like the 221, don't buy it before your truck is up, then turn it into a 223 straight away. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?24 Dec 2018, 12:23 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 12:00 PMButcher You are missing the point. If you have to rely on pure luck to hard counter something, the game isn't good and another unit should be able to step in. Sure, there are games when you hard counter something with the Stuka but there are other games where you don't hit much. But then you shouldn't lose since this should be a skill based game rather than pure luck. NaOCl said OKW doesn't have an indirect fire vehicle with an extremely accurate distance-independent barrage. I pointed out the Stuka. I don't think it's particularly reliable at fighting infantry blobs, but that's a far cry from it not existing. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost24 Dec 2018, 11:47 AM The 221 is about as good as it can be in that price in that window. The Clown Car works because it's up against a faction with Vet 0 extra-long range snares on most of the units it'll have at that point, and a faction with a T0 AT gun. The 221 is up against USF, which has snares locked behind Vet 1, and UKF, which has both mines and snares on a T1 engineer unit. If you turn the 221 into a potent shock unit against mainline infantry, you'll see it every game. You'd be giving the already strong early game faction a powerful super-light vehicle its opponents can't counter properly. The balance team did a good job making the 223 work: it rolls out as a passable light vehicle that provides useful but not game-changing fire support in its window. Once you have access to the 223 upgrade, the 221's window has passed and you upgrade them. Once things get too hot for the 223, you set it up on a fuel point and it pays back the 30 fuel you spent on it. In: COH2 Balance

I'm doing the math but I don't think it's that many (in 1v1s) 1) Ost vs OKW 2) Ost vs USF 3) Ost vs UKF 4) Ost vs SOV 5) OKW vs USF 6) OKW vs UKF 7) OKW vs SOV 8) USF vs UKF 9) USF vs SOV 10) UKF vs SOV You've missed OST vs OST, OKW vs OKW, USF vs USF, UKF vs UKF and SOV vs SOV.

Thread: moving the soviet sniper flare to vet 023 Dec 2018, 13:48 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2018, 04:03 AMgbem its not exactly an axis clone per say... it still has lower rate of fire than the ost sniper to the point that it takes more shots to kill a 4 man squad than it takes the ost sniper to kill a 6 man squad.... which is exactly the problem... the ost sniper does everything better maybe giving the sov sniper better scouting range or faster aimtime might do? If the Ost sniper is better than the Sov sniper, nerf the Ost sniper. Snipers in general do not need to be better. In: COH2 Balance
