Thread: Garrison mechanics. Which do you prefer?30 Dec 2017, 16:50 PM How much would a retreat button for garrisons help? Put it on the same grid as ungarrison and have it ungarrison the squad then automatically retreat it. No more attention required than retreating any other squad. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Redesigning OKW30 Dec 2017, 14:59 PM A lot of balance threads on OKW have veered in this direction so I figured it might make an interesting thread in its own right. If Relic decided OKW needed a second overhaul and asked you personally to design it how would you do it? You have near total freedom to change anything with the following restrictions: You still need to use the four base building trucks but you can change what they build and when you can build them. If you add new units you can only use models that already exist in the game and ideally only ones with OKW skins. You can redesign units but you can't rebalance them: assume the damage, received accuracy, hit points et cetera will be tuned to make whatever you design as fair as possible. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Garrison mechanics. Which do you prefer?30 Dec 2017, 14:33 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Dec 2017, 14:11 PMMr.Smith It's different because even though mgs do teleport they still have a few secs of setup time. The functionally equivalent teleport mechanic would completely disable weapons for a few secs every time you enter or exit a building. Is it within the capabilities of the mod tools to have all squads behave like the MG gunner in buildings? Have a setup bar before they can shoot and a tear down bar before they can leave?

Thread: Garrison mechanics. Which do you prefer?30 Dec 2017, 11:47 AM In theory always post-DBP's approach. Units flickering in and out of buildings instantly looked and felt bad and the grenade dodging was frankly absurd. It taking time to get in and out of a building makes sense. I agree the present implementation has UI problems: it feels like lag. If there were some way to add the set up/tear down bar to a squad leaving a building that'd do the trick. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: I & R arty counterplay?28 Dec 2017, 16:06 PM Would locking it behind Major do the trick? It seems fine as a lategame offmap but being hit by it as early as CP2 seems like a bit much. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW is absolutely trash now, rebalance this asap!28 Dec 2017, 15:58 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Dec 2017, 10:28 AM__deleted__ SOLUTION: Allow OKW to pick medics/repairing pioneers to be upgraded regardeless of the truck, so you can get medics if you go either Battlegruppe or Mechanised (but with Mechanised you will lose the luxury to have medics and ratreat point in one building in the lategame, because you will have to pick engineers in battlegruppe) Another solution that occurred to to me during DBP's testing cycle is to change the order of upgrades on the trucks. Currently you build the truck for its units then upgrade it for its utility ability. What if you did it the other way around? Make the following changes to the Mechanized and Battlegroup HQs: Both trucks cost the price of the medic/repair upgrade to build (150 MP, 15 FU). Both trucks start with all their units locked. The medic/repair upgrade is replaced with an Activate HQ upgrade which unlocks their units and costs the original price of the truck (200/25 and 200/50 iirc). The Activate HQ upgrade is used in place of building the truck for the purpose of all prerequisites (build Schwerer Panzer Headquarters, call in King Tiger) If you just want a Battlegroup HQ that can't build units it only costs 200/30 now (100/15 for the truck and 100/15 to build it). If you want to close the cap further you could move the entirety of the fuel cost to the Activate HQ upgrade, meaning you're only paying the 15 fuel for the SWS truck if you just want medics/repair pioneers.

Thread: AT weapons for OKW27 Dec 2017, 21:35 PM Which of those do you think Relic would be likely to allow into a future patch? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December patchnotes + Bug report23 Dec 2017, 18:29 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2017, 10:27 AMSturmpanther I don't understand. You mean the cons are dealing almost 0 damage when they are behind a mg42 and shooting on it? Or you mean the crew from the m42 deals almost no damage to the cons? The Cons deal minimal damage to the MG42 crew. They were at point blank range both times. I haven't been able to reproduce it in CheatMod but I'll grab a replay if it happens again. In: Lobby
Thread: December patchnotes + Bug report23 Dec 2017, 00:00 AM One thing I've noticed several times since the patch is Conscripts flanking an MG42 (right next to it out of its arc) seem to do minimal damage to it with their standard weapons. In: Lobby
Thread: December patchnotes + Bug report21 Dec 2017, 16:32 PM Another (possibly intended) bug: Support Paratroopers cannot crew machine guns and mortars. In: Lobby
