Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview30 Sep 2018, 00:18 AM I think vickers suppression could use a buff regardless. It's really annoying to put an entire burst in some squad out of cover and watch them just waltz away (or worse, run halfway through your arc and crawl the last 6 inches to flamenade range).

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch30 Sep 2018, 00:01 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2018, 23:53 PMKasarov On the topic of partysans, I agree that they fit the commander a bit better than the KV-8. I think the KV-8 is simply there because "Scorched Earth Tactics" and flamethrower tank have a fun play on words. The NKVD managed communications between many partisan groups during the war. As such, I'd rather see partisans, but as they are partisans are quite weak. My envisioning of partisans: SMG partisans Infiltration cost from 210 -> 250 Reduce reinforce cost from 26 -> 25 Give them an ambush ability and/or a siphon resources ability Give them a timed demo charge/satchel for use against caches Potentially out of scope: Tank hunter partisans Infiltration cost from 270 -> 300 Reduce reinforce cost from 32(!) -> 25 Give them an ambush ability for tanks Give them the AT grenade assault from Tank Hunter Tactics (weaker, because 4-man squad means maximum 4 grenades instead of 6) Giving the AI partisans (not the AT ones) commando/stormtrooper camo would go a long way too.

Thread: Lieutenant builds for USF30 Sep 2018, 00:00 AM I want to use the lieutenant's light vehicles more often but not having real AT or anything indirect makes it a real pain in the ass to play against static players or okw t3. The only strategy with LT that seems to work for me is going recon support for the AT gun, but then I don't really build much out of the LT tier because I need the manpower for paths and paras and the greyhound covers the light vehicle department. Mostly I just really enjoy using the M20 and AAHT and want to make them work XD In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: Rifle Company need to be rework28 Sep 2018, 21:10 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Sep 2018, 14:32 PMthedarkarmadillo The E8 is great as is tho. If the rest of the doctrine is underwhelming it hardly makes sense to change the only unit that is performing well! As it goes is it worth tacking on 50 fuel for a 80 points more health and some armour? And if so what do we do with the Pershing now? Fix what's broken don't over adjust what's working to compensate. +1 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview28 Sep 2018, 21:08 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Sep 2018, 11:46 AMthedarkarmadillo Jackson has mobility. Something other 60 range TDs lack. It has the freedom to engage in favour able terms. It can be used on the offensive if you want. Thing is if you treat it like the other slow case mate TDs it still performs quite well, but the skill cap on the Jackson is above and beyond all other TDs. Any other TD that gets jumped is likley dead, the Jackson not only has a chance to escape, but bloody well might win. True, and that’s the advantage of the jackson. All the other TDs have different advantages that I listed in the post you quoted. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Do volks need some nerf? If so, how?28 Sep 2018, 05:34 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2018, 20:43 PMSander93 When stats show that OKW/SOV and OST/SOV are nearly equal in win rates and only USF and UKF are lacking, it is not logical to search for the solution in OKW. Touching Volks would upset the delicate balance with SOV. Instead, UKF and USF infantry should be slightly buffed. +1 I think it should be noted that infantry sections are beastly in the early game though, but seem to not scale super well anymore. Riflemen seem to be almost the other way around, with a bit weak early game and very good (but very muni intensive) late game scaling possibility. It should also be noted that while rifles scale great with double BARs, they also have to spend by far the most munitions exclusively on infantry-carried anti-infantry weapon upgrades out of any faction. Volks only need to spend 60 per squad for about 3 squads, IS only need to spend 90 for 2-3 (or even more variance depending on particular army compositions) squads, soviets don’t need to spend any unless they go cons ppshs or guards (in which case 60 or 75 muni per squad for 3ish or 1-2 squads respectively), grens have to spend 60 or 45 depending on lmg42s or g43s for 2-3 (maybe 4) squads. Then you have riflemen, who need to eventually spend 120 muni on BARs for 3-4 squads (depending on how many rifles you make and whether you go captain or lieutenant). USF is also the only faction that has no infantry, call-in or normal, that don’t need muni upgrades to be at maximum potential against infantry (in contrast to, for example, pgrens, commandos, shocks, or falls). That’s one of my largest pet peeves wth the faction in general. In: COH2 Balance

That is very useful. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch28 Sep 2018, 01:59 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Sep 2018, 00:06 AMVipper Valentine had a major buff to its AI with x150% damage buff while keeping AOE the same. In addition its armor is allot higher than the AEC, CP 4 for light/medium tank is way to early. Meanwhile the t70 is laughing. Armor way higher than the AEC isn’t saying much. That’s like saying “moving accuracy way better than ostruppen” lol. There’s also effectively almost no difference as almost anything on the axis side that isn’t small arms will penetrate both vehicles 100% of the time. I think by 4cp counters are definitely on the field and it wouldn’t need be an unreasonable time for it to come out, and stuff like the luchs, aec, t70 and Stuart are all on the field by 3-4 cp but 5cp is still probably better timing. I really do think it’s fairly comparable to the t70 in terms of role and type of vehicle (they even have the same recon mode now). In: Lobby
Thread: Rifle Company need to be rework28 Sep 2018, 01:49 AM The flaming on this thread is hilarious lol. I like the halftrack idea because there’s not a lot of overlap with other commanders there and it fits the theme of the commander better than the LMGs would because it allows riflemen to be more aggressive and mobile rather than stationary and long range. The option to upgrade it to the AA platform also gives them a suppression tool if you go captain (which seems to be a better overall strategy with this commander IMO because it allows you to skip costlier light vehicles and go straight for ez8s since you have the at gun for light vehicles and the pack howie for fortifications).
