Thread: G43's are simply OP1 Feb 2020, 04:15 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 04:14 AMSkysTheLimit I mean riflemen have great rifles, still pay 60 per BAR+tech cost It's all relative. How much better is a PGren G43 than a StG? How much better is a BAR than a Garand? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: G43's are simply OP1 Feb 2020, 02:27 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 01:55 AMSkysTheLimit Or a cost increase. I don't see any reason why pgren g43s shouldn't be at least 60 muni like most weapon upgrades Are they 60 muni better than StGs? Weapon upgrades usually replace relatively weak bolt action rifles.

Thread: StuG III G1 Feb 2020, 00:05 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 22:48 PMMr Carmine Not calling you a wherebo but just why should it? The panther can do that already. Heavies dont arrive sooner thenna panther mostly. Every army has unit that fall short as the game progresses. I could see it work though it probably should be a vet 1 ability to replace twp. Meds should not notice any difference since the stug pens them easily. Short answer? For an equivalent fuel expenditure: Lighter TDs win against medium armour and lose against heavy armour. Heavier TDs win against medium armour more slowly and win against heavy armour. Why would you risk going for a medium TD build when the opponent can go for a heavy tank and render them ineffective? An example of a light TD done well is the Puma. It's indisputably a light TD: it specialises against vehicles worth 100 FU and less, and you'd never think of the Puma when deciding what to build against an IS-2. But an IS-2's worth of Pumas does beat an IS-2. How? It's fast enough to close in on the IS-2. Its smoke canisters allow it to survive fairly well against an IS-2. It has a powerful veterancy ability it can use to stun single targets. It has a close-range penetration spike that allows a group to out-DPS an IS-2 at point blank range. If light TDs are to be truly viable in the era of heavy tanks, they all need what the Puma's got: utility abilities that are good at controlling a single target, and more importantly close range penetration spikes. They shouldn't be better than their heavier counterparts, but they should win in numbers. Otherwise why risk building a tank destroyer that loses to a generalist? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags for RETs31 Jan 2020, 02:33 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 02:04 AMIncendiaryRounds Most of the time, u only have time to build one. If you only have the time to build one tank trap, you don't have time to build a sandbag. Your assertion that it'd be a buff to USF remains ridiculous. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why panzerfusiliers are buildable?31 Jan 2020, 01:07 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 00:50 AMVipper That depend on how much the CD is doesn't it? It also depend on the map since in some call-in units arrive early or late. It does. A really long cooldown was the solution with I&R Pathfinders. But if you gave Panzerfusiliers a really long cooldown you'd render them unusable as a Volks replacement. Panzerfusiliers are built from the HQ because it's a clean way to meet all of the Balance Team's design goals for them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why panzerfusiliers are buildable?31 Jan 2020, 00:25 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 00:18 AMVipper One can simply start them on CD as other units CP 0 units, there is little reason to be build able. Starting on cooldown delays the power spike but it doesn't remove it. Take USF's Armor Company. The Assault Engineer comes off cooldown at the same time the first Rifleman squad completes. An mixed Assault Engineer/Rifleman build then has three squads on the field when a pure Rifleman build would have two. Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 00:18 AMVipper The cost more than VG and perform worse before upgrading. The only reason to built them early is the snare. They also perform better in the late game, as the G43 package is substantially stronger than the StG 44 package. They're a worse option early on, but if you weather that hit you're rewarded later. Being build able would only makes sense if they where designed to completely substitute VG and according to the team they do not. They're designed as alternate mainline infantry. You can go full Volks, full Panzerfusiliers, or mix them up. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags for RETs31 Jan 2020, 00:21 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 00:07 AMIncendiaryRounds But I'd rather face tank traps because a 5man squad can't use them effectively enough to prevent suppression. If they only build one tank trap. You don't only build one tank trap if you're using them for cover. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: jackson armor nerf31 Jan 2020, 00:16 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2020, 00:07 AMCODGUY So again here is the question no one wants to answer: Why should a Panzer 4 and Puma be able to take on something beyond their weight class like a Jackson? Because a Jackson isn't beyond the Panzer IV's weight class? It's a lightly armoured medium tank with a really powerful gun on it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags for RETs31 Jan 2020, 00:04 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 23:35 PMIncendiaryRounds How about no. USF is the most aggressive faction and doesn't deserve all of the perks of more defensive factions. They already get non-doc mines, and normal mines in HALF of the doctrines. Make do with tank traps. If you weren't so drunk on your one-faction balance crusade you'd know tank tanks are better than sandbags because of the build speed. In: COH2 Balance
