Thread: Turret Lock for the Firefly14 Nov 2019, 16:17 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 16:15 PMSkysTheLimit I feel like hold fire can usually accomplish what you're trying to avoid in the 222 example. But it can be very finicky I admit It can, but this'd be better. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank CP14 Nov 2019, 16:16 PM I'm inclined to agree with Vipper here: medium armour is the top of the nondoc roster and has a huge diversity of vehicles. Heavy tanks coming out later allows a buildup of medium vehicles that stops heavies dominating the way medium armour dominates light armour. I think it's better heavies stand on the quality of the unit rather than shock timing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guard Rifle QOL Improvement14 Nov 2019, 16:12 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 15:03 PMT.R. Stormjäger Except Guards drop PTRSs like crazy, so you’re gonna end up with just DPs anyway. It is a QOL and balance change. No, it's not. They're mutually exclusive. Adding Prioritise Vehicles is a QoL change. Increasing the damage a tank does is a balance change. In: COH2 Balance

It feels closer to a fixed TD than generalist from this aspect. Hence i suggest the same turret vet bonus many tanks get, to scale late games when more targets are on field. Then get an Elefant instead. In: COH2 Balance

But it does not mean there are no issues in current Wehr design. Im glad i can play enough and share them out. That's how all the other factions work too. Try T2 Soviet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied and Axis Doctrinal Heavy Units - Where do we stand?14 Nov 2019, 14:19 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Nov 2019, 12:26 PMKatitof Wasn't its new vet slapped on soviet variant as well? There was pretty vocal time about it at the time. I'm pretty certain the only difference between the two now is the Soviet one can't hop the crew out. Most of my experience with the unit is the Soviet version because it fits so much better into Lend Lease than it does into Mechanized. In: COH2 Balance

It is painfully slow vs tanks in bigger games. I fail to see what this has to do with being able to order the Firefly not to turn its turret. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank CP14 Nov 2019, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 13:37 PMSander93 All factions have stock tank destroyers available that can hold back heavies quite decently for a much lower cost. I think getting medium tanks while the opponent is (usually quite obviously) saving up for a heavy tank is more strategic mismanagement than it is a balance issue (for example VonIvan vs Luvnext G3 of the WCS). I'm starting to think the KT's model is the best one: make it powerful, but it has a significant additional teching cost so it's not in direct competition with the medium units. The Luchs didn't stack up well against the Pz4 when they shared a tier, and the T-70's a hard sell when you can buy at T-34 for not much more. You could make heavies CP0, but they require you to tech all your buildings. That'd work well for USF, OKW and OST (where that usually means about 250-300 MP and about 50ish FU) and UKF already does this (200 MP 50 FU for Hamvil). That'd create a lot of breathing room for medium armour without artificially delaying heavies to the teamgame unviable CP 13. Soviet is the awkward puppy: the IS-2 is the tank that needs delaying the most (375 armour renders the StuG ineffective, forcing the Panther) but the Soviet tech structure doesn't support it. They might need a bespoke doctrinal sidetech of 200 MP and 50 FU. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Turret Lock for the Firefly14 Nov 2019, 13:19 PM Spearhead is an ability on the OKW Tigers that locks the turret to a relatively narrow cone in front of the tank in exchange for buffs to the unit. Could we add a similar ability to the Firefly that doesn't buff it? A toggle that literally just locks the turret to a 90 degree forward cone? Why? The Firefly has painfully slow turret rotation, and if it decides it wants to point its turret backwards for some reason (it spotted a friendly neighbourhood 222 or something) it takes forever to rotate it back. That's a problem if an enemy tank shows up. Being able to lock the turret forward to stop it doing this would be a handy ability to have. In: COH2 Balance
