Thread: Soviet Overhaul Suggestions5 Jul 2018, 17:22 PM They should revert the DPM nerf and instead lower the penetration as was proposed in the first iteration of the SBP. They didn't do that because it didn't achieve anything in testing. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some QoL suggestions5 Jul 2018, 14:36 PM I figured a dedicated Icon Patch thread might have more of a chance because it's self-contained, but it's your call. In: Lobby
Thread: Some QoL suggestions5 Jul 2018, 13:43 PM Have you considered splitting the Design section off into its own thread? While Relic implementing many of the changes seems unlikely maybe an icon patch could happen? If they're consolidated into their own thread separate from the mechanical changes maybe they could get Andy's attention. In: Lobby
Thread: King Tiger balance fix: smoke launchers5 Jul 2018, 13:28 PM The KT doesn't have a hard time surviving if you're smart with it. What it needs is a consistent gun rather than being the B4 on wheels it is at the moment. The best suggestion I've seen is a broad AoE with a low damage peak like the Brummbar got in SBP. That'd make it very consistent at damaging infantry but unlikely to one-hit wipe squads. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to nerf Mobile Defense without it becoming CAS5 Jul 2018, 13:18 PM Mobile Defence has always been in the bar for the Panic Puma: it was the Comeback Commander if you got stuck in T2. It was previously considered a tradeoff: you got the Puma but gave up powerful tools from other doctrines. It's only in the late DBP meta that it overtook the various Tiger commanders as a late-game commander choice and became the go-to for all situations. Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 13:06 PMTobis Command p4 needs to be put in t3. That's all the doctrine needs. That'd hurt the other Command Tank doctrines, and they don't need hurting. Maybe replace the Command Tank in Mobile Defence with something else? Tactical Movement would be thematically appropriate. Or swap Panzer Tactician for the smoke plane so the light vehicles are less survivable? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to nerf Mobile Defense without it becoming CAS5 Jul 2018, 12:41 PM I'm thinking the way to limit it is to limit the spamability of the Puma: if you can't mass them easily then you can't fight SOV T4/UKF T3/USF T3 with it as effectively. Reworking it into some sort of Command Puma with a limit of one on the field is one option. Another is combining the Osttruppen Reserves and Puma abilities together: the Puma call-in costs 200MP more and calls in an Osttruppen squad with it. Not so bad if you're getting one, but if you want three it's gonna cost you a lot of manpower. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to nerf Mobile Defense without it becoming CAS5 Jul 2018, 11:59 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 10:18 AMA_E The best change would be to put it in T2 REPLACING the 222. That way the mobile defense build has another small nerf. That's an interesting idea but I don't think it'd kill it that hard. You're only going to hit the button when you need the Puma, so you can still use the 222. If you need to replace 222s you can use 251 flamers provided you've got the munitions of them. Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 10:44 AMSander93 Yes it supplements the light vehicle play a bit too well, but I don't think that's the doctrine's fault. The core problem is most likely the cheaper 222, making a light vehicle AI/AT army a bit too cost-effective. It's completely the doctrine's fault. Mobile Defence was king of the Ostheer meta before SBP because of the stronger Command Tank aura. Ostheer has relatively quick light armor that's countered hard by light tanks (AEC, Stuart, T-70). With any other doctrine overinvesting in OST T2 is risky: every light vehicle gives you an advantage but delays T3, lengthening the window where the enemy light tank rules the field. The call-in Puma counters that light tank, allowing you to go heavy T2 without the risk other commanders bear in doing so. That Puma isn't tied to tech, allowing you to field two for the price of tech plus an enemy medium tank. Pumas can deal with their weight in everything short of a heavy tank, which is why the KV-1 of all things is SOV's shock unit against them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How about we not have any T0 MG?5 Jul 2018, 10:50 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 07:36 AMCODGUY I wonder how much better balance would be without the damn things in T0. Pretty much exactly the same. If you think moving the MG42 to T1 meaningfully delays it I suspect you've never played Ostheer at all. In: COH2 Balance
