Thread: What is StuG TWP supposed to do?12 Nov 2019, 19:35 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 19:28 PMCODGUY LOL this. Pershing's HVAP ability "skillshot" sucks so bad I. Firefly's Tulips are actually useful. I use the Pershing all the time because it's a great unit but the only thing that HVAP ability has gotten me is a destroyed Pershing since a Tiger can get off what seems like an additional 2-3 shots before it fires (then misses!). It used to ignore reload, allowing the Pershing to pull off a double tap. Now though, its main use is sniping through shotblockers. It goes through anything like the special Jagdtiger, 17 pounder or Pak 43 rounds. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortar Pit Split12 Nov 2019, 19:23 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 18:32 PMKatitof Have you ever wondered why it never came back since? As there was supposed to be no following patches due to some relic internal stuff as far as I'm aware. Its not a change you "just forget about". Patch scope. That patch also had the abominable variable call-in cost system in it, which was a large part of why it was cancelled. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied and Axis Doctrinal Heavy Units - Where do we stand?12 Nov 2019, 18:57 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 18:21 PMthedarkarmadillo Unlike the 300 armour of the tiger which can be felled by medium tanks right? I was asked which of the Allied heavies is strongest. < 300 armour tanks like the Pershing or Comet can be fought with StuGs. The IS-2 demands a Panther, which is a big point in the IS-2's favour.

Thread: Mortar Pit Split12 Nov 2019, 18:17 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 18:13 PMNorthFireZ I got another suggestion though. What if you split the mortar costs between munitions. For example: Regular Mortar Pit with one mortar active for 250 manpower. Then, for 80 munitions, unlock the second mortar. If it costs over 200 MP, you're straying out of throwaway territory. The idea is this is something you can afford to lose, like a bunker. Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 18:17 PMKatitof Wasn't single mortar pit categorically prohibited by relic? It was in the cancelled patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortar Pit Split12 Nov 2019, 17:43 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 17:41 PMVipper mortar pit has 700 HP Which'd give the half-pit 350 HP, which is less than a light tank. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Mortar Pit Split12 Nov 2019, 16:25 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 15:56 PMVipper That price is dirty cheap and building a second mortar would a far superior option than upgrading. The price should be more like 200+150 in order to make sense. Dirt cheap, yes. But that's for a mortar pit with half health and half firepower. The whole idea its a very small investment for an easily killed emplacement you can afford to lose. Upgrading the mortar pit is the stronger option if you want two in the same place because they share veterancy and a full health bar is more powerful than two half health bars. Push comes to shove? Lock Brace behind the upgrade. Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2019, 16:14 PMBlebfeesh How would veterancy, and the pits smoke work with the half mortar pits Smoke would only be fired from the one mortar. Veterancy would be the same. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortar Pit Split12 Nov 2019, 15:41 PM The UKF mortar pit's problem lies in its very design: it's a big investment in a static emplacement you lose if you lose its position. 350 MP is a big deal. Relic's adamant about not giving UKF a proper mobile mortar outside of commanders, so here's an idea to make it actually useable outside of very, very static games. Split it in half. » The mortar pits costs 175 MP, has half the health, half the popcap, and only one mortar. » It has a 175 MP upgrade that doubles its health, doubles its popcap and adds the second mortar. We know it's possible to do this because an abandoned balance patch did. A 175 MP mortar pit is something you can afford to lose. If your mortar pit's in a good position and you have spare MP, you can upgrade it, effectively building a second pit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied and Axis Doctrinal Heavy Units - Where do we stand?12 Nov 2019, 12:17 PM If you take cost-effectiveness into account, it's the Tiger and the IS-2. The Tiger is a better Panther with really strong anti-infantry capability. The IS-2 has 375 armour, which essentially forces a Panther or doctrinal heavy in response. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Emplacements11 Nov 2019, 15:29 PM Turn the Pak 43 and 17 pounder into 90 range static ATGs that are easily decrewed. Remove their ability to fire through shotblockers. Turn the Bofors into a much cheaper, brace-less emplacement that a lone mortar can clear out given time (like the OKW Flak). Turn the Mortar Pit into a 180 MP unit that has no Brace, the durability of an Ostheer bunker, and requires a garrisoned squad to autofire. In: Lobby
