Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion4 Feb 2020, 02:33 AM Version 1.1 Changes Heavy Tanks Pershing, KV-2, IS-2, Tiger CP requirement from 11 to 12 Reverted previous tech requirements from version 1.0 Ostheer Tech Changes Sentiment suggests that Ostheer tier 4 is too prohibitive to use. In order to facilitate an easier transition for Ostheer T3 to T4 builds, we have implemented the following: Battlephase 2 tech from 90 fuel to 105 fuel Battlephase 3 tech from 25 fuel to 35 Support Armour Korp (T3) no longer has a fuel cost Heavy Panzer Korp (T4) building no longer has a fuel cost XP values have been adjusted accordingly. Credit to Derbyhat AKA Jibberjabber for originally proposing this change. Grenadiers Reinforce cost from 30 to 28 Pak 40 Horizontal tracking speed from 12 to 14 Brummbar Armour from 240 to 260 Panzerfaust - all variants, including OKW The speed of the Panzerfaust projectiles being lowered as an attempt to remove the issue of Panzerfausts occasionally missing their targets. Projectile speed from 55 to 25 Brits HQ Glider Cost from 450 to 390 Forward HQ Retreat Point and Medics must now be researched for 150 manpower. Airlanding Officer The officer is having the cost of his recon run increased to match his counterpart, the USF Major. Recon run cost from 35 to 50 Soviets ZiS-3/SU-76 Barrage This change puts the barrage from ZiS-3 weapons inline with other direct-fire weapons and mortars that receive penalties when striking units in heavy cover. Heavy cover damage modifier from 1 to 0.5 Airborne Weapon Crate Drop Price from 45 to 60 OKDubz Sturmtiger Grenade deflection damage removed Bug Fixes Airlanding Officer should now be able to pick up bren guns. Airlanding Officer reinforce cost fixed. Fixed Infantry Section cost on reinforce; should now be back to 270/28 Fixed an issue where the British medic build time was too long at 45s; now is 21 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Visual and UI fixes for Winter patch2 Feb 2020, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2020, 07:55 AMOsinyagov I tried to get some information about IS symbols and emblems, as well as Kasarov tried too, but we didn't find anything satisfying, that's why we decided to work around this symbol with doublechevron. SneakEye is also using icon from vanilla IS with crossed grenades above chevron in his All-Units mod. There isn't, really. The regimental insignias in the British army are quite visually complicated: they look like heraldy, often with similar silhouettes only distinguished by the details. That'd make them very difficult to turn into simple unit icons. There are proficiency badges meant to indicate special training, but they're usually lettered. If that's the approach you want, you could take the leaves from the proficiency badge and use it as a universal "Specialist Infantry Section" symbol in the same way you suggested using the Chevron. However, purely visually, I think SneakEye's approach of making them up is best. Given Assault Sections and AT Sections aren't even the same unit any more, you could even change the icon entirely. Go with crossed Sten Guns and a crossed Boys AT Rifle and AT Grenade or something. In: Lobby
Thread: Visual and UI fixes for Winter patch2 Feb 2020, 01:18 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 18:51 PMOsinyagov Still not the best option imo. I wish there were someone, who are really good in history of british regiments and their emblems. By the way, there is an idea to give both doctrinal IS double chevron to highlight their doctrinal nature. If you're going for historical accuracy, I really wouldn't proliferate the double chevron. It means Corporal. When put next to the Private chevron the rest of the units has, it implies the difference is rank, not role. In: Lobby
Thread: Why do people think ass grens suck1 Feb 2020, 17:26 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 16:47 PMT.R. Stormjäger Because people outside ELO hell can actually micro properly. Also assgrens vs USF is suicide since riflemen buffs. If memory serves Assgrens vs USF has always been suicide. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sandbags for RETs1 Feb 2020, 09:37 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 06:27 AMMMX well, fair enough. still it's not looking much dumber than tanks missing point blank shots against each other or infantry standoffs across a tiny wooden fence. some things in coh are just meant to look dumb in favor for the game mechanics to work. would you feel less disgusted if the tank trap model were changed to sth covering the gaping holes between the beams? I wouldn't say I'm disgusted at all. These things being green cover is fairly bad ludonarrative dissonance, but it's not offensive. I just think it's easily fixed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags for RETs1 Feb 2020, 06:16 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 06:15 AMMMX why not just leave it as it is. current implementation works fine, at least gameplay-wise, and if you really want sandbags you've got 3 more or less powerful doctrines to cater to your needs Short answer? Because it's easy to fix and it looks dumb. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Su76 Change1 Feb 2020, 05:36 AM Give it a big buff to close penetration, and replace tracking with something akin to Aimed Shot. Do the same for the StuG. Congratulations, you just made the StuG and SU-76m useable in the heavy meta. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: G43's are simply OP1 Feb 2020, 05:29 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 04:29 AMSkysTheLimit What do you mean? Last changes for pgren g43 I'm aware of are: Panzergrenadier and Stormtrooper G43s G43s for Stormtroopers and Panzergrenadiers are being improved to improve their capabilities at longer ranges. Panzergrenadier G43 cost from 25 to 50. G43 Mid accuracy from 0.624 to 0.65. G43 far accuracy from 0.564 to 0.61. G43 Far cooldown from 1.5 to 1. G43 Far aim time from 3 to 2.75. Sorry, I was ambiguous. I mean in the patch before the one that's live now, G43s were only 25 muni. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: G43's are simply OP1 Feb 2020, 04:26 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 04:20 AMSkysTheLimit Yeah I think its worth more than 50muni. The accuracy, especially on the move, is just too crazy But what about the damage? They got cut down last patch because they were technically a downgrade. In: COH2 Balance
