Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 12:40 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 12:29 PMKatitof Guards are effective vs infantry, because if they weren't, the squad would be utter trash. Call-in squad armed with AT weapon that does not perform well unless spammed and is completely useless vs heavy armor should be effective vs infantry. Why would you get that squad otherwise instead of teching to PIATs and equipping REs with them, creating much more potent and scaling squad? AV tommies should have their AT snare at same range as other snaring squads. Because unlike double PIAT Royal Engineers they cost no munitions, they have a snare and they come out at a much earlier window. Personally I'd leave them be but if they have to change I'd rather see AI power shifted to AT than see them become yet another special case exception. If they not an Infantry Section they shouldn't have the Infantry Section's name, icon and portrait. If they are an Infantry Section they should be affected by Bolster and be able to take the upgrades their icon leaves a big empty space for. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 12:23 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 12:04 PMsiddolio So the Tank Hunter change I don't entirely agree with but if it's between those changes or nothing i'd take the changes. Wouldn't it make more sense to just make the Tank Hunter anti-tank rifles be ineffective against infantry? That'd deal with the versatility issue and would be consistent with every other anti-tank infantry squad in the game save for Guards. I see your point on the halftrack. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 11:48 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 11:47 AMullumulu why in the hell will a ost mortar crew die when less than 2model....while the 120mm sov mortar which weights alot more and need much more arm power can survive with one model? never understod that. This was already answered in this thread. The 120mm mortar not decrewing at one man is a bug they can't fix. They've reduced the crew size to compensate. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 11:15 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 11:07 AMMr.Smith Sturmpanther said you were the one to ask on this: why was it decided to lower the 120mm mortar's crew size rather than just make it decrew at 1 man like all other mortars? The rationale behind the change makes complete sense but it seems like an odd way to implement it to me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 11:05 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 11:03 AMsiddolio I can argue to the death on the changes i put forward, though i disagree with half the changes in the patch Which ones are yours? I'm willing to change my opinion on just about anything in this patch given a decent reason for it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 11:00 AM I was more thinking why make a unit that's already bad, worse? I see where you were coming from with the AEC/AVRE combo though, especially now that the AVRE doctrine looks like it'll be decent. Are similar justifications for the other changes I listed available? There probably are good reasons for most of them but the changes just seem unnecessary without them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 10:50 AM There are a lot of very good changes in this patch but there are also a plethora of changes that are unwarranted mininerfs to units that don't need it. I don't believe the changes to these units are justified: - SU-85 - ISU-152 - Katyusha None of these units are particularly powerful right now so I don't see why they warrant nerfs. The Katyusha is the last rocket artillery unit I expected to see nerfed. - Sturmtiger - AVRE The Sturmtiger in particular was nerfed into the floor in DBP. Why does it need to be nerfed further? - Tank Hunter Infantry Section - UKF Resupply Halftrack The Tank Hunter changes are at odds with the UI: there's no reason for a player to expect a unit with the Infantry Section's icon and name not to behave like an Infantry Section. Wouldn't it make more sense to just bring its AT weapons in line with almost every other AT weapon in the game instead? The changes to the Resupply Halftrack defeat the point of it: it's a riskier alternative to teching racks: it can go into the field to hand out weapons and reinforce squads but it risks being killed. This edit pretty much relegates the unit to teamgames where it can hand out weapons to teammates. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread18 Apr 2018, 10:24 AM Oh please, british sniper has shity vet ability aswell. Who need this flare anyway, it rarely if ever even hit something. You're not talking about its snareshot are you? Because that's one of the most powerful snares in the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread17 Apr 2018, 23:25 PM Most of the changes seem sensible. I can't help but feel it'd have made more sense to make the 120mm mortar decrew normally though. Lots of standardizations which is good: COH 2 has far too many inconsistencies between similar units that aren't communicated to the player. The AVRE and Sturmtiger edits just seem unnecessary to me but I don't play teamgames so I'm not particularly informed in that area. In: COH2 Balance
