Thread: Buff Ostwind21 Nov 2018, 11:55 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 11:28 AMVipper I doubt it, with 40 damage and 35 far penetration it needs 10 penetrating shots vs a T-70 when it haves 50% to penetrate. By comparison a Centaur can obliterate a axis light vehicle 1-2 bursts. Maybe pen values could be looked at (both Centaur and Ostwind). There has to be a role and a character, right now the Centaur indeed obliterates Axis light and infantry alike, sometimes even when you pull them back immiditately. I feel it would be needed to be more of a hard counter to infantry / weapon teams and a soft counter vs lights (meaning, probably should reduce the pen). In contrast, I can see a role for the Ostwind as a hard counter for lights and a generic (non-hard) counter vs infantry. The role being to dispatch Allied lights if they went for a light build and give your own infantry support vs Allied infantry (but still not being self sufficient). OTOH one needs to be careful not to create a situation where bumping into an Ostwind make you loose (generally far more expensive) Allied light without reasonable chance to escape. So that makes me wary of increasing the pen because it again gives you far too guaranteed, but due to low damage, meh results. Increasing rof on the other hand would boost potential damage vs lights, limited by clip size. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For balance Axis really needs demo or satchel. 21 Nov 2018, 11:24 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 05:10 AMVan Der Bolt As Ostheer I would prefer Brummbar to demo charges, cause brummbar gives more reliable DPS and heavy counters any kind of infantry. Though luck, because Brumm just got hit hard by the nerf hammer (price remains the same of course, cos Axis) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Ostwind21 Nov 2018, 11:23 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2018, 12:19 PMVipper Another approach would be to make Ostwind extremely good vs Light vehicles/tanks. This could be done by giving Ostwind have access to AP rounds which is historically correct since it could fire such rounds. There even reports 37mm gun could destroy T-34. In game the the AP round could serve as a hard counter to light tanks like the T-70, Stuart, valentine...The unit might need some additional changes like smaller size and more speed to be able to chase these units. The Centaur already completely destroys most axis light vehicles and tanks while Ostheer seem to struggle against such vehicles. A RoF buff I proposed for Ostwind would achieve that, and would make it somewhat more effective vs infantry. Right now its meh for its price against both lights and infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadiers + HMG42s vs USF6 Nov 2018, 09:07 AM Grenadiers OP. Well, that's a new, surprising one. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Ostwind6 Nov 2018, 09:06 AM Buffing the rate of fire of the Ostwind would be a correct option to fixing this unit. Like many OST units, it simply lacks a defined role or specialization. Its meh agaisnt light vehicles (given its steep pricetag and teching costs) and its meh meh against infantry. Giving it more RoF would could make the unit a hard counter against lights (and could be thus a counter for infantry spam/light vehicle rush builds), while I think it's inherent inaccuracy would still limit its deadlyness against infantry.

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch20 Sep 2018, 03:16 AM Thank you for kindly providing OST with wet tissue halftracks without reinforcing ability (really useful) and ruining Stormtroopers - a change that nobody ever asked for. I was thinking how one can make them even less less useful and less historical, but thankfully, fantasy flame granades are there to answer instead of the good old bundled granade that was actually useful even in its nerfed state. Thankfully, Allied changes are far more easy to overviews - buffing AND decreasing price seems to be the main theme there. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch7 Sep 2018, 10:22 AM M42 was THE standard Soviet ATG, like the PaK 40. The Zis 3 was divisional light arty (basically same role as the leFH) - which also had its capacity as ATG, but it was not its primary intended goal. In: Lobby

You put them on hold-fire, hide them somewhere and then toss a grenade and decloak when an enemy squad wanders too near. Like Commandos. Like current live Stormtroopers with Stgs you mean. Expect the live version has other uses too. Live stormtroopers have the following problem: 1. Unupgraded, they are just buffed, more expensive Grens with the exact same weapons. 2. Their upgrade is too costly. 3. A unit with bolt action rifles and nade-on-cooldown is useless for infiltration purposes. 4. Way too expensive for what they do. 5. Beyond the near useless infiltration spawn, they will operate as regular infantry most of the game with an occasional ambush. At which point they are again either Grens without an MG42 or very expensive buffed PzGrens without a true unique role. The solution to this is: 1. Slightly different mixed weapons profile, found to be work well with Volks 2. Slightly cheaper upgrade at 75. Solved if they can spawn with a Stgs. 3. Already solved if they spawn with a Stgs. Not more than two, because that would be Op for infiltration. 4. Solved, since now they provide an intermediate weapons profile between Grens and PzGrens, with upgrade to be semi ShrekPzGrens or PzGrens with ambush. 5. With their versatile armament and upgrades, they can be anything. A versatile infantry unit that can fill the holes in OST infantry line. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch5 Sep 2018, 16:04 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2018, 15:11 PMJae For Jett Also, I honestly havent seen a convincing argument against stormtroopers or a decent alternative. You have, but keeping in tradition with giving players what they do not ask for, and ignoring feedback that they do not like it was a trademark of these patches before. Most people who argued against the mp40s seemed to assume they were pio smgs, and I think they still cant drop that stigma. Nobody assumed they are Pio SMGs. They are still SMGs though, with SMG profile. Meaning they are more or less useless at anywhere but close range, especially when there is only four models holding them. It also completely goes against the design of Stormtroopers themselves - a low model unit, with high RA. It has keep them at long or maybe at mid range written all over them. And now they get a weapon that is useless at long and mid. Giving you a unit that you have very similar units already in the game - namely Assault Grenadiers (cost less) and Pioneers (cost much less). Tell us, the unenlightened ones, what unfullfilled tactical role this 3rd iteration of doctrinal SMG infantry has in Wehr’s inventory? Beyond that, commandos are already proven to work as a unit, with many people enjoying their style. Not sure why stormtroopers, which in the patch operate much the same, are now suddenly a failure of a unit. You mean beyond the fact that its two different factions, one of which has one of the best mainline infantry units for mid/long range and a commendo style unit can complement that very well against another another has only fragile glass cannons that already has 3 short range specialist so now they get a 4th one?
