Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback - Ostheer5 Feb 2020, 16:48 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2020, 16:40 PMJibberJabberJobber What I'd like to see: Reworked Osttruppen Reserves for Lightning War (not too effective). AT-rifle Osttruppen for Mobile Defense (if Puma doesn't get any major changes) and Festung Support With the new changes to Battle Phase 2, I think it's time for the CP5 Puma Command Car. In: Lobby
Thread: Tank Destroyer Poll5 Feb 2020, 16:45 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2020, 16:35 PMT.R. Stormjäger Because Jackson dives is the only stock USF option to fight heavy tanks. Soviets have T34/76 rams. UKF has Churchill with smoke and Comets/Cromwells with smoke shells. Tell me more about how you kill heavy tanks with smoke. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion5 Feb 2020, 16:40 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2020, 16:31 PMJibberJabberJobber What would such a FRP + Medic glider cost you think: 200, 250, 300, 350 manpower? I liked Vipper's idea of allowing it to build Mortar squads and AT Commando squads with buffed elite Piats, instead of normal Commando squads (which would risk what you mentioned). I'm not keen on giving Vanguard other commanders' toys. Even if you removed the glider entirely and made it a four ability commander, it'd still be really good. Commando AT squads are better Tank Hunter Sections, and who's going to go Tactical Support if the Glider can build mortars? In: COH2 Gameplay

They've both been nerfed to the ground. And even before that they were a weird, sort of distasteful ability. Get extra troops by ordering your current ones to commit pointless suicide! They should replace them with a reworked (read: not more expensive than buying two Ostruppen squads manually) Ostruppen Reserves. In: Lobby
Thread: USF weapon racks, feature or trouble?5 Feb 2020, 16:27 PM I'd rather the racks than five weapon upgrade buttons on every USF unit. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF pop cap problem5 Feb 2020, 16:25 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 11:10 AMT.R. Stormjäger If it was me balancing I’d stop all manpower income when a faction has over 110 pop cap. You'd need to add the Ardennes Assault ability to dismiss units in your HQ sector, but that aside this is something that should definitely be in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay

British have comet tanks. USF - well at that time only Jackson. Removing Soviet commander reliance has been a balance goal since the Penal Troops rework. The Comet was a meme up until the last patch.

Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion5 Feb 2020, 16:15 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2020, 15:58 PMEtherealDragon An important distinction is that Commando Glider allows you to reinforce in enemy territory. It's worth keeping the distinction between the two if anything to allow Commando to keep it's identity as the aggressive commander for Brits. I suppose you could give the Commando glider some additional bonus if it needs something to be competitive like ability to air drop medical supplies to support enemy territory attacks. I think it's much more important to not give cheap on-field Commando Glider drops to Vanguard Regiment in the first place. It's already got Raid, Vehicle Crew Repairs, a set of skillplanes and a Crocodile. The HQ Glider worked because it was painfully expensive and gave the relatively lackluster Airlanding Officer first. I think the HQ Glider should be just that: an airdropped FRP with medics. Maybe let it build Commandos when in friendly territory, but it absolutely should not become Commando Glider Insertion if we want to maintain UKF's commander diversity. If you replace Vanguard's only weak link with UKF's most meta commander ability you'll never see anything else. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Destroyer Poll5 Feb 2020, 16:04 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2020, 16:03 PMWingZero From what I remember, Jackson HP buff was due to large game mode players being super frustrated with glass cannon of late game USF and the inability to chase down Panthers or plan grand offensive vs elephants. If so, why didn't the SU-85 and Firefly get the same treatment? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Poll5 Feb 2020, 16:03 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2020, 16:02 PMMusti So what you are saying is that Jackson could kill P4 in 3 shots. Yep. And the Panzer IV could kill it in three shots right back. In: COH2 Balance
