Thread: Re-balance Allied TDs penetration values27 Oct 2019, 14:05 PM The OP's suggestion of standardising all the TDs to 260/240/220 is sensible tbh. If it's apparently fine for the Firefly, it's definitely fine for the Jackson. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About relic forums26 Oct 2019, 13:44 PM The basic biases of human perception will usually make the red units seem more effective than the blue units. If you only play one faction, 'red units' lines up with 'Allied units' or 'Axis units' depending on which faction you're playing. Hence balance complaints disproportionately come from highly partisan one-faction wonders. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Changing the way MGs work25 Oct 2019, 16:47 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:29 PMRatritual been trying that alot and I camp in green cover untill I get my m20 or m3 when I know for sure he's coming with mg 42 but usually they capture and defend ,no push,nothing,they simply defend untill they have more territories and by the time you get your m20 or m3 out they'll have a counter for it. You can't take more territory if you only defend. Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:29 PMRatritual pro players don't need hmgs,why should we let them in t1 or first building for... Pro players do. Ostheer's HMG is in T0 to allow T1 skips. Putting it in T1 wouldn't change the HMG spam build: OST would just build T1 then the HMGs. Same story with UKF. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Changing the way MGs work25 Oct 2019, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:23 PMRatritual there are guys who just simply cu mg and bunker or have mg behind mg The mortar doesn't care. It outranges both. Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:23 PMRatritual -yes they should stop bloobing but not entirely annihilate them and sending them home because he got into your conscript squad ostheer mg HMGs don't annihilate blobs. They force them to retreat. An unsupported HMG can be countered by two infantry squads: one gets suppressed, the other walks around the firing arc and attacks the HMG. Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:23 PMRatritual they're not that accurate at long range and sometimes if in cover mg can beat the vechile or he can push with this gren and make you run while not shooting him. Vehicles are very mobile units that don't need to sit in the HMG's firing arc. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Changing the way MGs work25 Oct 2019, 16:23 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:20 PMRatritual it should be called why I still use more than 2 hmgs and it's still working because people are still failing to the bait that can be countered efective and they don't provide me good defense (also I might not using them if I'm up against pro players). If you build three HMGs against SOV or USF you might as well be donating them to the enemy. They'll camp behind green cover until they get an M20 or M3 out, then wipe your MGs on retreat.

Thread: Changing the way MGs work25 Oct 2019, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:11 PMRatritual Usf has mortar but how do you know where he placed his mg usually its too late when you spot an mg How so? The HMG can only suppress your entire army at once if you blob them. HMGs exist specifically to stop you doing that. Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:11 PMRatritual Brits have vicker carrier but if the enemy is smart enough they will faust it All light vehicles have a longer range than the Panzerfaust for this very reason. Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 16:11 PMRatritual They shoot too fast they pin too fast only 240 manpower I question how much Ostheer you've played if you think HMG42s are 240 manpower.

Thread: Should Wehr armor vet bonus be replaced?25 Oct 2019, 16:08 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 04:33 AMmrgame2 I thought some do want such standardise predictability. A lot bounce and different damage values have been tuned out iirc. Tbf this is not quite related to losing variables, but to recognise the armor values are getting sadly irrelevant. A down side to wanting a competitive out come for this game, with lesser and lesser rng. Armour being little protection against a dedicated tank destroyer =/= armour being irrelevant In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Changing the way MGs work25 Oct 2019, 15:54 PM Let's come at this from another angle. What counters an HMG? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Changing the way MGs work25 Oct 2019, 15:33 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2019, 15:00 PMRatritual yes but they come at the price of manpower and the cost of unlocking grenades and rifles besides ammo cost and lets not say that riflemen used to have smoke grenades and they got nerfed not a while ago because they countered mg's way too efective for german average mg spammer. If you nitpick every small difference between factions in balance arguments we'll be here all day. The faction designs are different in too many ways to count. You have to consider the whole. HMG spam is a frustrating strategy to play against when you don't know how to counter it, but it's a very weak strategy when you do. It's barely used above mid-ranks. HMGs need their current power level to counter high-level blobbing. If you nerfed them to obviate the need for lower level players to learn to counter HMG spam, you'd degenerate high level play into blobbing. In: COH2 Gameplay
