Thread: Prevent ambulances from dying to stray shot26 Jun 2020, 06:56 AM The only one mobile healing and reinforcement platform in game (commisar and OST halftruck don't have much sense compare to it). With future possible to give you frontline retreat point with Major. It's was always risk/reward mechanic, some players could use medicine car aggresively to heal frontline troops. It's called balance. Another decision it's make like for all other factions - base upgrade with medics. No longer mobile, but also can't be destroyed by straying AT. But IMHO medecine car is good.

Thread: Vision and sightblockers25 Jun 2020, 18:16 PM It's possible to implement mechanic that will give you visual indication, if sight of team weapon is blocked by sightblocker? Like in cone of fire make colored area or another indication that this part is blocked by obstacle. Because sometimes, small bush or wreck could block entire part of vision for your ATG, but you sure that this part is clear. Sometimes your troops give you vision of battlefield, but your team weapon don't have vision because sightblocker and you can understand this only when enemy already start engage. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: State of the ISU-15224 Jun 2020, 19:43 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2020, 18:21 PMthedarkarmadillo There was a discussion a ways back about beefing up medium tanks close range pen so that closing with heavy Armour is more rewarding. I think this might be a good time to throw that into the ring. Interesting idea, but it will brin also balance issues with t-34. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of the ISU-15223 Jun 2020, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2020, 15:51 PMachpawel You can kill elephant with infantry/AT builds. If you see one on the field you are very likely to spend more resources into AT/infantry department and just kill it. ISU, just like many Soviet units, just follows the pattern of being the jack of all trades. Soviets don't really care about analyzing what is on the battlefield. Whatever they build will be ok against most threats. There are people building ZiS guns just to act like mortars even when there are no vehicles on the field. They don't risk wasting resources by building wrong counters. ISU follows the same pattern. Axis armies don't have such luxury. If you build an elephant, the enemy will win the infantry war. You just decribe gamedesign differences between OST and SU. OST have units with narrow specialization (better perfomance against specific targets), while SU units all-around (mediocre perfomance against 2 types of threates). OST have only few all-around major units: P4 and Tiger. And SU have few specialist units: katy and su-85. You can kill ISU use infantry/AT builds (shreck blobs, stun shots, blietzkfrieg armor) or use your elefant. In 1vs1 there aren't unbeatable builds. I saw that game with zis spam. OST player lost 2 brummbar until he realized that against team weapon spam he need werfer...It was tunnel vision of OST player. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What Commanders Are You Using19 Jun 2020, 18:29 PM SU - Lend-lease, commissar. Really, lend-lease give you early M5 with close-combat squad. In this timing your enemies don't have any AT. Especially strong versus OST because 222 can't kill m5 with proper micro. OKW - elite armor. 2 pumas with AP shells could easy kill 3 t-34, just kite and smoke. 2 TD + 2 wstuka for late. Crit repair good bonus. USF - Infantry company, airborne and pershing. OST - OStruppen with relief, German inf. If i can make at least 2 squads of osttrupens, then relief infantry give me endless cannon fodder for capping points. UKF - lend-lease, commandos. 2 CP m5, thompsons with WF grenades. very strong versus OKW, because stg and thompsons have compareable range. Infantry bulletins. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Balance Changes for Next Patch17 Jun 2020, 06:29 AM Please make for all TD and ATG "armor prioritize" by default. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Changes for Next Patch15 Jun 2020, 18:01 PM Add to all TD range indication, like OKW flakht have, it will be much easier to act. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ram + Offmap combo needs to be nerfed14 Jun 2020, 16:55 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jun 2020, 14:43 PMFarlion Snare. Button. Literally any mine. If you can't counterplay Blitz, there is a problem. Then there is no problem in Ram too, right? Ram can't be used if engine is crippled. Ram only ability that good for suicide mission, you can't used it for escape. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ram + Offmap combo needs to be nerfed14 Jun 2020, 14:34 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jun 2020, 10:30 AMJibberJabberJobber What I'd prefer to see: Vet 0 ram: - Does 160 damage - Stuns enemy tank if its HP is <=75% - Immobilizes and main gun crits T34 Vet 1 ram: - Does 160 damage - Stuns and engine damages enemy tank if its HP is <=75% - Immobilizes and main gun crits T34 This allows as "counterplay" for heavies to keep them very healthy. It's just make this ability worthless. How about make the same treatment for german Blitz? To have "counterplay" from SU side. Because panther with blitz can easily outplay every SU armor (and if you have tactician smoke situation become ever better). This only one ability in entire game that have such cruel rules to use - immobilize, gun crit, engine overheat when missed. While i think this ability could be replaced by somehing more usefull, because this is just gift from "old times" when t-34 was trash and only were good for ramming. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ram + Offmap combo needs to be nerfed13 Jun 2020, 23:15 PM I think there is good "nerf" - make it straitforward ability like Firefly rockets, without aiming. But to compensate this, make garanted engine disabled (like regular snare do). High skill-high reward. Veterancy also could get some boosts, like radius boost and reduce time when engine is overheated when ability missed the target. In: COH2 Balance
