Thread: The USF Major and Off map5 Nov 2019, 19:52 PM Passive Sprint makes infantry very mobile. It's a cool thing for elites, but a bit too powerful on mainlines imo. Officer squads are limited to one of each and teching both LT and CPT is expensive, so I think they're fine. In: Lobby
Thread: Retreat Received Accuracy To Received Damage5 Nov 2019, 19:30 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2019, 19:07 PMNorthFireZ Would this make vehicle wipes a lot more common? Tank shells missing retreating squads is beneficial rather than reduced damage? It'd make wipes by AoE weapons less likely. Received accuracy doesn't apply to explosive damage because explosives don't use the accuracy mechanic.

Something that swings the game this hard shouldn't be as random as it currently is. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Retreat Received Accuracy To Received Damage5 Nov 2019, 18:54 PM Squad wipes are a big deal in this game. Killing a squad, especially early on, can give you a decisive advantage. To help squads retreat, they get a big boost to Received Accuracy, which means they're harder to hit. Shooting at a retreating squad is effectively rolling dice over and over and hoping you roll two sixes before the squad moves out of range. This makes whether or not you get a retreat wipe very random. What if we replaced the Received Accuracy modifier on retreat with a Received Damage modifier? If you tune it right, the chance to wipe a unit on retreat is pretty much the same, but extreme values are less likely. A unit running a gauntlet of three squads is much less likely to make it through, and a unit running past a lone Combat Engineer on his lunch break is much less likely to get wiped. In brief, retreat wipes become a lot more about positioning and a lot less about luck. Thoughts? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF Commander Reshuffle5 Nov 2019, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2019, 17:39 PMSander93 Ideally, but impossible ofcourse, I would switch the M10 with the M36 to get rid of the overlap issues with all the doctrinal Shermans (being overshadowed by the M36), and give the USF the Sherman Jumbo (75mm/76mm) as a stock heavy medium, so that they'd have a damage sponge tank to work together with the M10s (like the Churchill/Firefly combo). Then the M36 could be toned down. The M10 has the penetration of the StuG though. Would it really cut it in teamgames? What sort of stats are we talking for the stock heavy medium? In: COH2 Balance

It's powerful enough with 60 range and top of class... Every other trait, but giving it elefant/JT levels of range too? OK..... 70 range Jackson with 480 HP. That's a three shot kill like a light vehicle. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Jackson Nerf vs Making Panther Doctrinal5 Nov 2019, 14:06 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2019, 13:41 PMullumulu Jackson is like a sniper infantry from USF which have 3models, running all the time, counter all other sniper easily and can self heal on field, can fast turn the body and has better accuracy than all other snipers. and this for only 370mp. this is Jackson compared to all other TDs How do you have better accuracy than a unit that always hits? If you're looking for a non-tank metaphor, it's an ATG with a turret. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson Nerf vs Making Panther Doctrinal5 Nov 2019, 13:36 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2019, 00:44 AMCODGUY I don't think it's wrong at all. The Jackson is the best tank destroyer in the game, no argument from me on that point. I just don't see a problem with it being the best TD in the game, I mean one unit has to be the best TD right? I think the real problem isn't that it's the best TD in the game so much as it's the best TD and belongs to USF. The Jackson's design neither presents any positional counterplay nor allows the opponent to just buy a bigger gun (commanders notwithstanding). You can only counterplay it with non-vehicular AT. Otherwise it can only be outmacroed. The Jackson's original design didn't have this problem: it cost 125 FU and had 480 HP, meaning it had to play carefully at range like the other two TDs. Spamming Jacksons wasn't really an option: because of their fragility you needed something else to defend them. This was changed as a balance necessity: USF's shitty tech structure was full of holes thanks to Relic's ~2014 obsession with shipping factions with huge gaps in their basic tool roster. That change made USF functional in larger gamemodes, but it also made the Jackson what it is today. While USF's tech structure has improved, I don't think you could just revert the Jackson to its better designed but less balanced earlier incarnation. What USF needs is a full review of the rest of its AT roster (currently entirely geared against LVs for some inconceiveable reason) and then changes to be made to its other units so the Jackson isn't the only mediums-up nondoc AT tool. Then, and only then, could they look at turning the Jackson back into the nimble sniper it was designed as. In: COH2 Balance
