Thread: An Old Schooler's Rant and Observations21 Jun 2020, 17:55 PM the t70 has better ai than the ostwind at close range and for clumped target formations. however, at max range and against a wide formation where the ostwind's 2-models-hit-restriction doesn't play that great of a role, the t70 is inferior by quite a large margin.

Thread: US Pak Howitzer Is Out Of Control 21 Jun 2020, 07:40 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2020, 03:06 AMSelvy289 120mm mortar Range:25-100 Damage:80 (68 near/40 mid/20 far) Aoe:1.5 near/3 mid/4.5 far Reload: 8.9 seconds Scatter:10 max (barrage is set at 8 max) For reference the auto attack max scatter on the pack is set at 8. So the 120mm mortar isnt to bad in comparison but you really see the effects of the increase scatter and especially the higher reload. I think the 120mm mortar projectile moves faster but because it fires at a higher angle takes longer to travel, that's just my assumption considering the 120mm projectile travels faster than the packs but fires at a higher angle. In conclusion, the 120mm is a poor mans pack howie (compared to how the pack performs) in my opinion as it takes forever to land a round, large scatter,large barrage times and considering soviet artillary options, the 120mm just isnt pratical which is why they are extremely rarely used. Edit: for some reason the 120mm barrage aeo near is 1.1 compared to the packs 1.5. Ill also throw this in, the reload on ethe 120mm mortar is 5.175 compared to the packs 3 seconds (leig is 2.3-3.6). you've made some very good points here, and your conclusion seems solid. regarding the scatter comparison i'd be careful taking the distance scatter max values only. especially for indirect fire units, distance scatter is usually much lower than the max scatter would indicate, due to the low distance scatter multiplier. angular scatter is important as well, and should be included to get a better overall picture. i'd also take the reload times with a grain of salt, since there's usually considerable aim, windup or winddown delays for mortars. for example, the hm-38 auto attack has a reload of 8.9 s, but the actual time between shots is 13.5 s.

Thread: US Pak Howitzer Is Out Of Control 20 Jun 2020, 18:02 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jun 2020, 17:23 PMDarkpiatre The barrage has less scatter than auto (7 for 8). Now you just have to quantify what is most powerfull between twice the Aoe couple with more dmg (20 for 16) or 3 less scatter, but with all the feedbacks around the Pak howitzer, I think the answer is clear. the answer is less unambiguous than you might think. at max range (80), both pack howi and leig actually perform very similar against clumped targets In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US Pak Howitzer Is Out Of Control 20 Jun 2020, 17:15 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jun 2020, 16:40 PMDarkpiatre Care to present clip/rep example or metric that would support that? he's right, tho. the leig has much lower scatter on the auto attack and, to a lesser degree, also the barrage. shots may not exactly be 'homing', but much more likeky to connect for at least a bit of damage.

Thread: What is the rationale behind tier upgrades?20 Jun 2020, 09:09 AM for usf this 'tech split' also made double officer strats much more viable, something that was prohibitively expensive before the revamp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: List of my Suggestions for Balance with reasoning20 Jun 2020, 02:16 AM i doubt it would be a good idea to give penals their old flamer upgrade back, no matter at which stage of the game. there was good reason flamethrowers got removed from all mainlines and IMO it should stay this way. that being said, maybe a redesign of the flamer upgrade into a timed ability, possibly with a mun cost attached to it might be an interesting option instead. kind of like the old 'deploy marksman' ability from vcoh the squad would temporarily equip a flamer for, say, 30 sec to force units out of cover / garrisons, but ability recharge and mun cost would make it less oppressive than a permanent flamer upgrade.

Thread: Mortar Pit Garrison Bonus17 Jun 2020, 09:18 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2020, 08:46 AMadamírcz Interesting Isnt the barage recharge like 5 seconds initially and completely nonexistent with vet anyway? if you mean the recharge after the full duration of the barrage (i.e. 6 shot salvo for the pit), then yes, since the timer starts counting down with the start of the ability. however, sometimes you'll want to stop the barrage halfway through to switch targets. in this case the lower cooldown can come in handy.
