Thread: New OKW Commander22 Oct 2019, 19:48 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2019, 19:37 PMSander93 I mean, what did you expect? The game is six years old. Of course Relic isn't going to release anything new at this point. And releasing mod tools would require a huge effort with very little gains for them. They could, however, restore what they removed. When the game was released, it was possible to import and edit models. A.Soldier has plenty of screenshots of CoH 1 units being loaded into the game. At some point Relic or SEGA disabled this without publically giving a reason. Were I to speculate, I'd assume it was to prevent mods competing with official DLC. Turning it back on would vastly increase what modders are able to do with CoH 2. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Scale caches to game mode22 Oct 2019, 13:57 PM Teamgame resource inflation is because the maps have more points on them. In terms of the effect they have on your income, caches are actually weaker in team games. There are more points on the map, so the percentage increase in income for a single cache is actually lower. The reason caches are strong in teamgames is because of unit saturation. A cache gives half the resources of a territory point, so they're only an efficient source of income when spending that 250 MP on units doesn't translate into more map control. In 1v1s, this is rarely the case. 2v2 and 4v4 maps are so saturated with units that an extra squad of infantry is unlikely to bag you an extra point. Caches therefore become a more effective source of income than more infantry. Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2019, 13:56 PMVipper Cashes in 4vs4 return x4 times resources than in 1vs1 and thus cover their cost at 1/4 of the time... But so do territory points. Caches are competing with units. Caches get built when they become a more manpower-efficient source of income than map control. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brummbar OP plz nerf!!!!22 Oct 2019, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2019, 00:50 AMIncendiaryRounds Exactly. Meanwhile, any allied LV can secure a kill on the flamer HT because the HT has no speed advantage over allied lights. Comparing KV8 with Croc is unfair as Croc deserves to be an absolute beast at a whopping 230 fuel. I'm fine with the fact a Croc can just straight up roast double at guns. If you're fine with the Croc, the KV-8 is proportionately scaled down in firepower and durability. If there's an imbalance between the KV-8 and the Brummbar, I think it's probably the Brummbar that's out of line rather than the KV-8. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shift-Queueable Ambulance21 Oct 2019, 18:04 PM Simple QoL change for the USF ambulance. Change the currently toggled Healing Aura to an automatic one: it turns on if the vehicle is stationary and turns off when it's in motion. Add the Handbrake ability from the halftracks. The Ambulance works in exactly the same way: it heals and reinforces when stationary in your territory. However, implementing it this way allows you to command it with the shift-queue, making it a little nicer to use, In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Hulldown for ambulance21 Oct 2019, 17:58 PM The ambulance doesn't need Hull Down. What it could do with is Handbrake and automatic aura activation. Then you could shift-queue orders for it rather than babysitting it all the time. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Brummbar OP plz nerf!!!!21 Oct 2019, 17:11 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2019, 17:08 PMgeneral_gawain KV-1 still does 160 damage, KV8 does 80. Outside the 1vs1 situation (for which reason it was buffed) a switch to AT mode is rarely of any use. It's the sort of thing you'd never expect if you hadn't read the patch notes. If the gun truly is superfluous, scrap it. Better still, cut it back down to 50 pen and remove the toggle so they fire at the same time like the Croc. Make it a little better at its job.

Thread: Brummbar OP plz nerf!!!!21 Oct 2019, 17:02 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2019, 17:00 PMWiderstreit The problem is, that KV2 has no need for its gun. It stays something better gets removed. Do you mean the KV-8? I'm pretty sure the KV-2 needs its gun. Removing the ~~pea shooter~~ apparently full-blown anti-tank gun from the KV-8 is a good call imo. You could then slash its price a little. Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2019, 17:02 PMgeneral_gawain It was changed because KV8 was never build in 1vs1. Before it couldn't really do anything vs PZIV so it had no place in the meta. You still have to change the weapon. Its not like the Churchill which shoots with both weapons. It was never built in 1v1 because the only 1v1 doctrine it was in was Shock Rifle and you'd always stall for the IS-2 instead. That, and it wasn't that good at anti-infantry duty either. You don't need to make the KV-8 a generalist if it's a good enough specialist. Visual language is very important in a game so determined to hide its stats behind vague statements like 'improved mobility'. You'd expect the KV-1 to have penetration like a T-34/76, and the KV-8 to have penetration like a T-70. That used to be true. In: COH2 Balance

If that's true that should be reverted. The KV-8 is a KV-1 with the 76mm gun swapped out for the T-70's little 45mm. It should NOT have better penetration than the KV-1, which is literally the same tank with a bigger gun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Give universal carrier the 222 treatment20 Oct 2019, 19:48 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2019, 18:54 PMKatitof Regular grenade range of flare might have something to do with it. British men have limp limps. Not like the alpha male welsh sniper chad who actually can throw it longer then arms length I'm pretty sure the sniper's got less range than the Section does. It has to sneak up to throw 'em. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should Axis pintle upgrade give bonus sight?20 Oct 2019, 19:37 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2019, 18:41 PMachpawel But I totally disagree with such arguments Now they will melt them more quickly, which gives you less reaction time and will mean that before grens retreat they will deal less damage. Also now rifles scale much differently against assault grens - they are much less vulnerable to ass grens. They will also melt support units more quickly. They will more easily wipe low health squads on retreat. Such things add up throughout the game. So they did get buffed. And all this without any buffs to grens, for example. I can completely understand ostheer claims for some buffs for tanks, for example. Riflemen kill Assgrens anyway. In: COH2 Balance
