Thread: Relic Announcement in 24 hours! GTF IN HERE!13 Jul 2021, 01:54 AM My bet is it's gonna be either DoW4 or CoH2 Immortal... But I'd be far from displeased to be proven wrong In: Lobby
Thread: How to effectively use IGs?11 Jul 2021, 21:09 PM the isg is kind of special compared to other indirect fire pieces in that it has a rather small aoe, but very tight scatter to make up for this. as a result, "shotgunning" or firing from close range will be less effective for the isg than for regular mortars, simply because it will only play out its scatter advantage at longer distances. however, at max range the isg should deal more damage on average than, say, a grw-34.

Thread: Buff Volley Fire11 Jul 2021, 20:42 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2021, 18:42 PMColonel0tto With the right timing and positioning this ability can be pretty excellent. One of the better feelings playing the faction is when your rear echelon manages to 1v1 an onrushing sturmpioneer because you started behind a tank trap and he crossed red cover. agree here. this ability used to be pretty weak before it was fixed but seems to work much better now, especially early on. essentially it allows your echelons to engage and bind a much stronger unit (e.g. sturms) in a 1v1 situation they would normally lose by a fair margin. arguably this utility falls off rather quickly the longer the game progresses, as these one-on-one encounters get pretty rare. not to mention that, against multiple squads, the RA debuff means your echelons will melt in an instant if focus fired. still a rather useful ability, even though situational.

Thread: OKW Command Tiger Ability underpowered10 Jul 2021, 16:56 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2021, 16:16 PMSmaug its completely fine imo because the command tiger can get 3 bonuses from a button press while the command panther has to be like at vet3+ for similar bonuses. this pretty much. reaching vet 3 with the cmnd panther already feels like an eternity and i have rarely ever seen one getting to 5 stars. sure, the buffs it provides at vet 3 and onwards look great on paper, but getting there is an arduous task to say the least. Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2021, 16:16 PMSmaug quick question: does the command tiger buff work on raketen reload times? afaik the aura was recently changed to affect vehicles only, so it shouldn't affect the rak.

Thread: What could be done about engineer vet10 Jul 2021, 06:57 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2021, 23:09 PMKlement Pikhtura So I read all the vets and bonuses carefully and edited the table. Took me some time to wrap my head around every bonus and some vets. The "shady" bonus appears to be alright, because it makes a clean value. I added it after the 25% bonus were applied. Although you can go so far on "what appears to be correct". Hopefully everything is correct now. really interesting stuff, great work! i've always wondered how fast/effective repairs are among the different factions, now i can finally look it up in a sleek table. agree with hannibal that additional metrics, such as repair rate per pop or per mp investment would make a nice addition to the comparison. one question though i had from glancing over the single entity and squad stats: the squad repair rates always seem to be a multiple of the number of squad members minus one. does that mean that, for example in a squad of pios, only 3 out of four models are actively repairing or did i miss sth here? EDIT: nvm, seems your updated post fixed this already In: Lobby
Thread: Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B49 Jul 2021, 09:23 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2021, 04:32 AMmr.matrix300 AFAIK it can't but the more you go outside of the center of the circle the less damage you get ~~(at least this is how I think it works)~~ Center = full damage Border = very little damage (even less than the alleged deflection damage (Gonna be honest, no clue how deflection damage works ... maybe the 290 DD is the "highest" DD one can get and it again gets lower the further away you go?) Ah ... nvmd. There are other damage stat too (maye deflection damage is entirely meaningless as ST can't bounce) : DMG near 580 DMG mid 145 DMG far 45 the ST shell will always pen and, thus, can't deflect as long as the projectile collides with the hitbox of the target. outside of that, the damage dealt will depend on the distance as you've already listed, as well as on the aoe penetration at that distance. this is afaik always rolled against the frontal armor value and deflected hits will deal 50% less damage. i'm not sure about the exact values for aoe pen, but i'd guess those are significantly lower than 1000, so deflection should still be possible.

Thread: Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B49 Jul 2021, 08:29 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2021, 05:41 AMZeroZeroNi Aweeeeeee......... Jee........ I never thought of doing that. Stupid me thank you oh smart big brain mister for such an Insightful advice my single digit IQ brain could have never come up with something like this. This must be the intelligence of a quadruple digit brain. My mind has been blown. mind blown or not, he's right tho. if you actually test this a direct hit will always deal the full 580 damage, no matter what target. there's just no way for it to 'barely do any damage' outside of ff modifiers being active or not scoring a direct hit in the first place. so i'm quite curious what and how you've actually tested to come to this conclusion?

Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability6 Jul 2021, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2021, 12:44 PMVipper If it behaved exactly the same regardless where it landed. Simply explode after a certain time. arguably that's what it does already. if the landing spot happens to be a tank and able to move it will just move with it until it explodes. imho still a better solution that magically phasing through the vehicle onto the ground. anyway, i think this is a pretty insignificant issue anyway given how incredibly rare it is to hit a tank with a sticky mortar round.

Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability6 Jul 2021, 12:40 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2021, 11:18 AMVipper It also make little sense, is non realistic and I really do not see any justification. well, what would be a more realistic implementation then in your opinion? the round warping through the vehicle is hardly any more realistic. having the shell bounce off the tank would of course be preferable, but i doubt this is even possible engine-wise. otherwise the round could likely be made to explode on impact. more realistic for sure, but that would again not change anything with respect to chance to hit and damage dealt, just delay the inevitable.
