Thread: Buff Ostwind2 Dec 2018, 19:29 PM The Ostwind's only good when you need an AI vehicle NOW, or your build is so AT heavy that the extra 35 FU isn't worth it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Overnerfed Brummbar. Why am I not surprised?2 Dec 2018, 13:06 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 12:58 PMVipper Armor buff does not make ANY difference once the TD is vetted, actually a Vet 2 SU-85 has almost 100% chance to hit penetrate a vet 3 Brumbar (or Panther) at all ranges. It doesn't make any difference to vetted Tank Destroyers. They aren't the only armour penetrating guns on the field. Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 12:58 PMVipper Medium tank can simply flank the low mobility Brumbar where they can easily penetrate the rear armor even if the Brumbar is vet 2. Reverse. If consistently hitting the rear armour of well-microed late game tanks backed up by support weapons was easy, Relic wouldn't have needed to make the constant armour reductions they have over the years. Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 12:58 PMVipper If read my post I actually respond to claim by miragelfa: "Brummbars, however, you're not getting for durability. You get them for reliable anti-infantry firepower. ..." I am simply pointing out that if Brumabr is bought for durability the vet bonuses need to change. It's bought for that huge infantry obliterating main gun the attempt to nerf it in SBP created. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Role of Jaeger Light Infantry2 Dec 2018, 12:53 PM They're Pathfinders. Long sight range, utility ability, half-sniper rifles that roll to instakill sufficiently injured models. If they're taking damage, they'll be less effective than Volks in combat, but the idea is a Volks squad up front and a JLI firing away from the back'll be more effective than two Volks.

Thread: Overnerfed Brummbar. Why am I not surprised?2 Dec 2018, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 11:21 AMTiger Baron Wait when was it nerfed or am I missing something here? I checked both the revamp commander patch and the USF tech mod and there is no mention of this. It's live. https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/67/coh-2-changelog/p5 Post 148. The Brummbar got an armour reduction, a nerf to its Vet 1 AT gun deleter ability and a range reduction. Its firepower is unchanged, but it's less tanky and therefore more vulnerable to armour attack if not supported. The patch also reduced the veterancy gain on the Flame HT, reduced the sight radius of T-70 recon mode and implemented a workaround for the infamous ZiS gun bug. Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 11:30 AMVipper Ok then lower the price accordingly to 40 fuel. The point he's making is that armour does matter. Vet 2 armour skirts don't make much of a difference to dedicated tank destroyers, but the Utility Car's armour skirts don't make much difference to a StuG. However, those skirts help those tanks bounce T-34s, Cromwells and Shermans a lot, forcing the opponent to spend a lot of fuel on a tank destroyer that contributes nothing to the infantry battle that ultimately decides the game.

Thread: Early Panzer IV Counter?1 Dec 2018, 14:25 PM If you're talking Panzer IV rush, you've got plenty of time to get double bazooka REs out even if you've gone Lieutenant. Furthermore, if they're not deploying lights, you can get some serious map control with the AAHT. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: What makes brits emplacment to a building?30 Nov 2018, 18:55 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2018, 18:23 PMullumulu And gave them abiltys and gave them the possibilty to command them where to shot? Yeah...make a Building the same like a unit instead using all functions from available units... Sounds like a dumb plan. Maybe. Relic designed UKF to have emplacements as part of its army: they even appear as passives on the tech buildings. They're meant to be high investment emplacements you protect rather than throwaway stalling tools like bunkers, hence Brace and Veterancy. In practice, that led to SimCity strategies, so it wasn't great for competitive multiplayer CoH 2. The compstompers loved it though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What makes brits emplacment to a building?30 Nov 2018, 18:20 PM Are you asking why UKF buildings have veterancy? Because Relic gave them veterancy. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog29 Nov 2018, 18:30 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2018, 17:44 PMmiragefla Captain isn’t going to be the primary pick even with the Stuart places back since it only performs okay vs infantry. And people are more likely to gravitate towards the HMG for the early game for anti infantry suppression, particularly vs OKW. Any tier with the ATG, will likely be less chosen because you don’t need a 3-4 minute ATG unless your OKW facing ultra lights. I think Captain Tier's probably stronger than it was before. In 1v1 you'd go Captain now for the AAHT, which I think it's fair to say is USF's strongest shock unit. The ATG and Captain are stronger support for the AAHT than the Lieutenant and the .50 cal.

Thread: Let's speak about OST AT mine28 Nov 2018, 22:38 PM It's not something you can fundamentally fix. If you reduce the damage on the Teller, you can just put down two in the same spot and it's an OHK again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spotting Scopes 26 Nov 2018, 13:46 PM If it needs to change for balance it needs to change for balance, but it's already pretty awkward to use. You usually advance a long range unit with Attack Move so it stops when it hits firing range. With Scopes you have to sort of creep it forward. In: COH2 Balance
