Thread: IS cover bonus and Pyro12 Feb 2020, 14:31 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 19:00 PMJibberJabberJobber It requires manpower, micro investment (both for timed aura and manual healing) and 3 pop of dead weight for a faction that already has good healing options (medkit Sections / Forward Assembly). It's a worst of both worlds solution. The medic squad is awkward for doing what it's actually meant to and it opens up several cans of bizarre cheese. I honestly can't see any benefit to this approach over just spawning some base automatrons like Soviet. If you want it to be weak healing, just spawn fewer of them. In: Lobby
Thread: Light Vehicle Penetration12 Feb 2020, 11:36 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Feb 2020, 11:31 AMKatitof AEC has exactly the same penetration values as Cromwell, just 120 instead of 160 dmg. Stuart isn't AT light, it wants to be generalist tank of lights, but doesn't do well at either of its jobs, its just a bad T70 with better theoretical AT as practical AT is bad. Perhaps the Cromwell should get a close range penetration buff too. It's currently a speedier Sherman without any of the anti-infantry toys. The Stuart's weird. It's trying to be the Panther of light vehicles and puts a lot of its worth into its high armour. Consequently, it utterly dominates the 222 and becomes useless once mediums arrive and that armour isn't worth shit any more. Personally I think the Stuart's cannon should be reworked to be more like the Soviet baby AT gun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Light Vehicle Penetration12 Feb 2020, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Feb 2020, 11:20 AMthedarkarmadillo Not just lights but all armour. I'd settle for just lights but it would be a fantastic change across the board I agree, but close range penetration spikes for every vehicle in the game isn't likely to happen at this stage. Close range penetration spikes for the two vehicles that need it most? That might make it in. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Light Vehicle Penetration12 Feb 2020, 11:16 AM The Puma has a very clever penetration profile. Its far penetration is a very light-vehicle esque 80, but when it closes within 10 metres of an enemy tank (about the length of a medium) its penetration spikes up to 160. This lets the Puma scale into the mid and late game better than any other AT light: rather than just becoming useless, it can continue to deal damage by getting dangerously close to the enemy. Should that be extended to the Stuart and AEC? The AEC is pretty much a Puma clone but only has a near penetration of 120 despite facing more heavily armoured targets. The Stuart has awful penetration, rendering it pretty much useless after the light vehicle phase. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I really like the stuart but12 Feb 2020, 11:03 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Feb 2020, 03:00 AMSkysTheLimit Like that idea a lot I also think the Stuart should get a smoke ability. The Scott doesn't deserve one but the Stuart could certainly use it Make it require a upgrade if that would be too much of a buff You could lock the smoke ability behind Major tier. That gives the Stuart late-game survivability without messing up the light vehicle phase's balance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback - UKF11 Feb 2020, 22:18 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2020, 22:14 PMNorthFireZ Exactly, the buildable medics are buggy but they also are extremely cheap, can cap, and has REALLY FAST HEALING when they do work. It's much easier to make them autohealingbots. What do you think about putting the medics back in to the HQ glider and removing the heal bots from the glider? I'm not a massive fan of buildable medic squads. Without an ambulance-like AoE lockdown, I just find them janky. If they go anywhere, the Vanguard glider's the place though. In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback - UKF11 Feb 2020, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2020, 21:52 PMNorthFireZ Is there a possibility to change the Medics from a buildable unit to a in base medic upgrade avabilble at T2? Medic automatrons are the best way to go. If the idea is to give UKF limited healing, just give them bad automatrons. As is, they can get excellent healing for building multiple medics, and cap with the things. Also, they can build enough of them at once to break the selection UI. In: Lobby
Thread: I really like the stuart but11 Feb 2020, 20:06 PM The problem with the Engine Shot is the implementation. The effect of the ability is insanely good and could easily carry the Stuart into the late game were it not for the implementation being utter trash. The solution? Change it into a skill-shot, like the Pershing's HVAP or the Firefly's Tulips. Give it a standard aim time, 150 penetration at Range 0 to 10, then have that rapidly drop to 0 penetration at Range 20. 150 penetration means it'll penetrate the rear armour of anything (it's meant to be an engine shot!), but it can bounce if you fire it at the front of mediums up. You've now turned a super-janky ability into one with a lot of tactical depth. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion11 Feb 2020, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2020, 09:58 AMJoshua85 I'm just going to crash in here with a completely new topic. With regards to the debate and vote on balancing heavies. Is the biggest problem currently not the Tiger I from the new OKW doctrine? At least in 1v1 it seems that 90-95% of players use this doctrine which is never a good sign. So perhaps in spite of all other changes being made, something should be done here to make this viable but not dominating. I'm leaning towards making the full tech requirement just like with a KT, but I'm open to have my mind changed. temporarily removes "burn the heavies" hat It's a twofold issue. The first is the Panther isn't a very effective heavy counter any more. It's about an even fight now. The second is the CP9 timing means the Panther comes out at a similar timing. At CP13, you could often have two Panthers waiting to greet a heavy. When faced with those two facts, why go for the Panther when the Tiger does the heavy-fighting job just as well and does the AI job way better? Hence, Grand Offensive every game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Are they not fixing heavies?11 Feb 2020, 17:06 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2020, 16:55 PMmiragefla Because the Tiger still hits you from a further range resulting in less scatter on top of already having a lower scatter value. This means the tank is more likely to hit in general particularly versus clumped units with a high chance of sniping model on direct hits to begin with. The Tiger also has a fast rate of fire on top of a larger AOE in general. That makes sense. In that case, assuming I understand it, the new AoE looks like a good solution. It should make a pair of P4s substantially better against infantry than a single Tiger. In: COH2 Balance
