Thread: Paratrooper support squad problem3 Sep 2018, 19:26 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 16:52 PMVipper Probably unvetted Pathfinder&IR, JLIR and possibly stormtroopers. IIRC stormtroopers have that second tier of camo where they can move around in cover. I think falls and pathfinders (both versions) get that with veterancy too or something. JLIR I have no idea about, haven't used scavenge since it fell out of meta XD In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M10 extra ability3 Sep 2018, 19:23 PM I think the m10 would also be a lot more useful if it was callin since you could potentially go the old lt captain m10 spam strategy, and then just make the bulldozer sherman available from the major to solve the problem of having everything at your disposal without the major. The problem with the m10 is that its supposed to be stopgap at but its much more economical to just get a jackson since they are both in the same tier and the jackson is mostly just better. The m10 also has a really slow turret rotation speed, which is historical but really hurts the unit's ability to flank like it's supposed to. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M10 extra ability3 Sep 2018, 16:43 PM That'd make the m10 a lot more useful and unique I think. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Paratrooper support squad problem3 Sep 2018, 16:37 PM 0 VS LoopDloop CPU - Easy 1 paratrooper and falls camo problem by: LoopDloop map: Langreskaya 1 - Here's a replay showing me test it a few times with fairly clear results that seem to show my hypothesis is correct. It also showed that falls have the same problem, but it doesn't hit them as hard because they don't get ambush bonuses. You can also see that both squads don't get camo unless all members are absolutely still (when I gave them move-and-face orders they didn't get camo while they were stationary but turning until all models had stopped turning). It might affect all units with the first type of camo vipper listed, but I'm not sure which other units have that type of camouflage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: paratrooper and falls camo problem3 Sep 2018, 16:32 PM Here it is. A few tests with clear results with a lot of my incompetent finaggling to set the test conditions in between. Points of interest are mostly around 4 minutes and a bit before 8 minutes and onward. One test with paras showed that if they're already facing the exact right direction the camouflage and bonus works fine when they acquire a target. Another test showed that both paratroopers and falls facing the wrong way break camouflage when models turn to acquire a target, meaning they lose camo if they get shot at in the interim (don't remember if the p4 shot back in the test and I forgot to put a pintle 42 on it but it happens for sure).

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch3 Sep 2018, 16:12 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 11:50 AMLago UKF does have one 'mobile' indirect fire tool: the Base Howitzers. Maybe a cheap, rapid light barrage added to Section Flares would go a long way to helping out? Or a free smoke barrage for displacing MGs? All sharing the global cooldown, of course. Another thing that would make pyrotechnics a lot better is making it so they could throw it a little further (especially the sniper). Having a tool to displace fortifications is a lot less useful when you have to walk halfway into said fortifications to activate it, and the sniper is too squishy and valuable to be throwing flares around well within small arms range. In the interest of a cheaper light barrage, the pyrotechnics ability is already damn cheap, so maybe a couple of semi precise offmap mortar shells with a small blast radius for like 30 muni or something? Or maybe one precision shell from the 25 pdrs. It could be one from each, so it could scale into the lategame better, or just 1 period. Love the smoke idea. In: Lobby
Thread: Paratrooper support squad problem3 Sep 2018, 15:18 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 12:35 PMSander93 Raketten vet3 gives guaranteed penetration and +25% damage for the first shot out of camouflage, so I assume the effects are the same. I forget if it's timed like most others or if it's literally only the first shot, but if it's the former, it shouldn't be a huge problem in that situation anyway, but again, not the point of the thread. The issue with paratroopers is that the bonus will almost never be applied since they always turn and reveal themselves. They are on a timer for their ambush bonus (IIRC) so carbines firing first isn't a problem for them though. Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 12:39 PMVipper Are you sure that it is because the model turned and not received damage? Keep in mind that certain weapons BARs/ST44 can hit cloaked entities if there are near their intended target. Yes, I'm sure. I think you can see it if you give them a move order with a facing order (I'm talking about clicking, holding, and dragging to make them move and then face), as they will move to the point and then turn, and when the models are turning they break camouflage. I think it's just a problem with the camouflage requiring them to be perfectly still. I almost put this in bugs. I do know about how automatic weapons reveal camouflaged units in that fashion. I use commandos literally every game I play with ukf, so I think I have a decent handle on most of the camouflage mechanics. In: COH2 Balance

Oh Jesus wtf. I don’t see why anyone is complaining right now lol Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 03:12 AMcyso as far as I understand it's more about making stg44 accessible to ostheers, so we give ass grens stg44 and make them usable? ^^ i like the new sturmtrooper, i think they are useful right now We already have panzergrenadiers for that though. They basically turn into the old stormtroopers if you pick a doctrine with ambush camo too, they just don’t have the tactical assault ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stormtrooper changes2 Sep 2018, 23:54 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2018, 21:18 PMLago Only Infiltration Commandos were 4 men. Commando Doc and Vanguard Doc Commandos have always been five. Yeah and I personally found them to be a lot weaker than regular commandos but they also have much larger (worse) RAs than stormtroopers if stormtroopers actually have 0.75 RA. This gap is probably made even wider with veterancy if they get any bonuses to RA (I don't recall their veterancy at all) since commandos only get a small RA bonus from vet. Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2018, 19:50 PMKurfürst Commandoes Stens are IIRC totally OP at close range, MP 40s are not. They are meh at best, and solid vs. engineer units. IF you can get close. Not so much a problem with 200 MP units, more of a problem with 340 MP units. Apparently they buffed the mp40s on stormtroopers to about shock trooper ppsh levels. I played a game with them and called them in from a building, then hopped into the building, and they then beat 2 full riflemen squads from about 10 meters with no nades thrown and no movement on either side. Point is, they're a lot better than pio or assgren mp40s. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Paratrooper support squad problem2 Sep 2018, 23:45 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2018, 23:29 PMIncendiaryRounds Same with raketen, if you tell it to shoot, the k98 shoots first to reveal itself and then the rocket shoots. Occasionally the allied tank can get away with the k98 warning shot. The problem here is that the paratroopers are supposed to have some bonuses for accuracy and damage out of camouflage but the models start turning and then get revealed and shot at before they shoot, so they don't get the bonuses. Same idea, but different effects here. I do wish the kar98s on the raketen wouldn't shoot also, but it doesn't have the same harmful effects (it does have different harmful effects but that's another issue entirely and not the point of the thread). Also, you should tell it to face instead of shoot. That way (I think) the kar98s won't shoot so early. In: COH2 Balance
