Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game10 Aug 2018, 17:12 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2018, 10:47 AMMajorBloodnok Equally, it has been discussed on staff as to whether posters with a low post count should open threads - or even be prevented from posting - in the Balance forums; those proposals have also been rejected. Nothing which I have written above is designed to discourage any of you from making valid criticisms about balance patches. As I said before, I had no idea a community balancing team was in charge of the changes, nor did I specifically call the designers out. Sounds like, while I did in fact make this thread, the subject was more than already on the community's minds. I think some great ideas were pitched forward on what the British currently lack and how we might be able to fix them. Personally, I would like some more Axis counter-arguments, but overall I think this thread was entirely worthwhile, even with the bumps, provided its ideas are actually considered by developers. Furthermore, while I do imagine that troll posts are abundant on this subforum, and in ignorance I may even have contributed in the past, I don't think the number of posts an individual has is indicative of a post's validity or worth. I'm certain people here are smart enough to see through the obvious dubious examples. It sounds like the mods have reached this conclusion as well, but I wanted to voice the concern since it was brought up. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game9 Aug 2018, 00:12 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2018, 00:06 AMTiger Baron Right, so who gets to call the shots on the balance then? Relic severely limits the team on what they can do, but you say that the team is biased, but then again Relic decided to trust them to "fix" their game. So how do we solve this? They won't fix it themselves so they need unbiased modders, but such people are hard to come by and I would volunteer but I will sure as hell not accept bullshit scopes and rushing of development be put on me and I think that many other modders will agree, feedback and suggestions yes, some compromises maybe, but flat out me putting my ass to hang for some ungrateful person, no way, I've done it enough to know that it's generally not worth it. Apart from that they'll probably never accept me in a balance team but just putting it out there, I'm willing to fix the game for the sake of the loyal fanbase, but not under bullshit circumstances. Well look man I am by no means part of your guys community, even though I have been playing CoH since the THQ shutdown. I frequent these boards and usually post once I feel something is fishy in the game. Things are fishy. We have a community mod team responsible for game balance, we can unfish these things. My first point being, I for one was completely unaware that the .org was (loosely) responsible for balance these days. That honestly is a lot more comforting than Relic being in charge. Hopefully they can find a solution to the problem we have been having recently. I will try to be more constructive with the information I bring to help balance the game now that I know people actually are listening. In: COH2 Balance

Wow hit the nail right on the head there. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game8 Aug 2018, 23:35 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2018, 19:44 PMmr.matrix300 So you are complaining about that 2 squads couldn't take out a MG 42 frontally while probably being in negative cover? AEC against anything but a Stug is a death sentence. Additionally its too bad that every single Axis foot soldier has a panzerfaust in their back pocket which can immediately shut it down. Lastly it does absolutely nothing to infantry. The issue is, 2 squads approach a single MG from opposite sides of its cone. From max range, tripod already deployed, an MG42 (with a single click micro), can suppress both squads before ever being in grenade range and eventually pin them. A Vickers cannot do this. This is a problem. This is why you have MGs. Not to deal damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game8 Aug 2018, 18:21 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2018, 09:16 AMmr.matrix300 Maybe exaggerate even more? I don't see how IS is supposed to be worse in late game than Grens or Volks f.e. And even tho the Vickers might be worse than other MGs when it comes to supression (at least thats what I hear all the time, is it really the worst one? Can someone please show the datas on this?) it still kills faster than other ones (at least from my experience). Also their tanks loosing in every single 1 vs 1 isn't only not true but, at least when it comes to cheaper tanks, completly justified, or do you want a 110 fuel tank to win against a Panther ? PIAT is a thing you know ? Yes the data is out there, no I will not find it for you. I believe it is listed in a Brit guide on this website. Vickers has much worse suppression, better damage. But that isn't why you build MG's, especially as a faction that desires to have emplacements. As it stands you can take the extra precaution of putting an MG down to guard a mortar (already excessive) and the Axis blob still has enough time to huck grenades into your mortar pit before getting pinned. This is a huge problem. You can't have your cake and eat it too, regarding tanks. You can't say "it's not true" and then go "but if it were, it would be justified!" do you understand how completely disingenuous that sounds? The truth is, Brits have absolutely no early tank presence and therefore have to rely on their AT guns, which were nerfed, but due to their inferior infantry and MG that has trash suppression their ATs are now completely undefended against the Axis blobs! Also PIATs are trash against just about everything above armored car. Now here's an idea, how about you get a mortar emplacement to handle the infantry? Brilliant idea, except for the fact that it gets solo'd by any competent player's own single mortar (which costs less mind you). Even if you waste an engi squad to sit and repair it all day you wont out-repair the enemy mortar dps. The only solution is to send, what, a UC to try and hit their mortar? Good luck with that, it has the HP of a CoH1 jeep! Great well just send in your infantry to kill the enemy mortar! Well that'd be dandy, if the superior LMG42 Gren squads don't wipe them, the 40 manpower cheaper MG42 that they undoubtedly have guarding their mortars surely will suppress them INSTANTLY. But at least they didn't lose a unit in their squad like the dps superior Vickers might have done to Jerry, right? No, its much better, rather than losing one member and throwing a grenade to disable the MG, 2 squads were instead pinned forcing a retreat (strategically wiping the squad for the time being). Should I go on? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: vickers7 Aug 2018, 20:12 PM You are correct this is indeed a bug, Relic's mission is to obviously make the UK beyond useless and a joke within the CoH community. Relic please fix this by making Vickers squads 1 man. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game7 Aug 2018, 20:09 PM UKF just doesn't excel at anything currently. Their emplacements are a waste of MP against anyone of reasonable intelligence, their infantry fall off late game, their MG doesn't do the ONLY thing anyone gets an MG for (suppress), their tanks lose in every single 1v1 imaginable, 0 anti tank infantry, and their AT gun doesn't pierce late game tanks. They are just a terrible faction. What am I doing wrong with this seemingly useless giant waste of bytes known as the British? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My view on balance after taking a 1 yr gap9 Jun 2018, 01:40 AM A sniper should be effective against any 4 man squad, sounds intended. Good thing Ost has one of the more reliable T2 light vehicles, and if you go everyone's current favorite doctrine you have the smoke necessary to escape from AT guns. I think people are discounting the power of flanking, mortars, and a counter sniper as an answer to enemy snipers. Even if sniper retreats immediately there is a pretty high chance he gets popped. My level of play is actually legitimately lower than most of you all, so maybe higher levels have the micro to make their snipers invincible, but in my brackets its simply not the case.

Thread: Pgrens seem like they have been flipped on their head9 Jun 2018, 01:16 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jun 2018, 18:46 PMFiresparks this game heavily favor long range firepower by the mid-late game, and the stgg4's dps profile doesn't really work. Both Ober and pzgrenadier suffer similar problem in that their line infantry are just so much more cost efficient and versatile. This is the ultimate problem, low tier infantry are too effective. But I will try what has been suggested and use Pgrens as mid range fighters In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pgrens seem like they have been flipped on their head6 Jun 2018, 17:55 PM The unit which used to be slightly (and I mean slightly) overtuned in its machine gun combat is now completely useless and dies almost instantly if focus fired by 2 units of even the worst quality. Even losing a single Pgren results in a loss of 25% firepower, yet they are completely useless if not at close range. What is the solution? So far I find them to only be useful upon giving them panzershreks, which do work well, but anything less than vet 2 and they can't hit the broad side of a Jackson. As of now it seems like the only anti infantry option Ost has is a gren squad with G43/LMG and of course an MG42, but because everyone has a mortar these days (which they were not supposed to) and that pretty much makes MGs useless as well. I will say though I do find it hilarious that a pioneer squad can 1v1 Brit infantry. This sloppiness does not make up for the fact that Pgrens are currently hot trash, and a disgrace. In: COH2 Balance
