Thread: Super AT Guns28 Jun 2019, 18:36 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2019, 18:18 PMSkysTheLimit I think both should be able to fire through buildings. Just not auto-target/track or whatever the right word is. You should be able to attack ground through just about anything with the super AT guns IMO +1 Otherwise they're not super useful and aren't really worth making over other AT options, but at least it'd take micro to use.

Thread: Fusilers28 Jun 2019, 18:33 PM 3 g43s and an extra man for 90 muni is pretty stronk. Kinda ridiculous that they're only 25 to reinforce too; g43 grens don't even hold a candle to pfusies once they get the upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2v2 OST vs. Brits - Can't figure it out28 Jun 2019, 17:37 PM Another thing to note is that you don't necessarily have to be super wary of light vehicles against the brits. If an AEC shows up and you don't have a pak it's not ever gonna be a serious issue like a t70 would, and even an AAHT with the new commander won't end you if you don't force it off immediately.

Thread: Super AT Guns28 Jun 2019, 04:53 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2019, 19:08 PMmurky depths The lack of self-spotting is absolutely critical to not allow for an overwhelming pressure a single large AT gun to be put in. If you want to argue for some flare ability or some timed thing, sure go for it, but the idea that we should set their view range to = their current attack range is absolutely a no-go. +1 Don't pounders actually already have a flare ability tho? I forget since I almost never use them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shrecks In T228 Jun 2019, 04:18 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2019, 18:27 PMDoomlord52 I don't disagree at all with this; but PFs are doctrine units, not mainline. However, my point was, that PGrens were unused before this patch because they came too late to be good. Forcing an AI upgrade would mean that when they arrived, they would be (performance wise) worse than before, and require additional resources to become as good as they are now. This would entirely offset the resource/time saved by the current BP1/T0 setup. While I see your point, PGs AI doesn't scale nearly as well as other mainline infantry units like double-bar rifles or double-bren IS. If this is a concern, then basically all mainline infantry needs to be re-worked. While pfusies are doctrinal, they're definitely also mainline in every sense of the word if you give them g43s. They're reasonable to reinforce at 25mp, cheaper than most other mainlines except volks and cons actually, have a good squad size, have weapons that are essentially effective at all ranges, have a grenade, and have a snare, and they aren't prohibitively expensive in any way except having to pick a doctrine to use them. All but the very last could describe basically all other mainlines. PG AI still scales fairly well, and scales at that rate for free unlike rifles and sections. @OP I voted they should remain as is currently in live because I do feel that having only schrecks as AT is a pretty decent risk, and gets countered hard by good LV play (except if you're brits and not using lend lease rip). Not having access to paks can really suck sometimes and personally I'm pretty wary of skipping T2 because of that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should assault grens start on cool down?27 Jun 2019, 04:18 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2019, 12:13 PMVipper CP0 infatry should simply become build-able and not call ins. Currently their timing is greatly affect by the map design. +1 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Rifle Company Rework27 Jun 2019, 04:16 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2019, 01:08 AMVipper Or get rid of the dozer upgrade for Shermans move Sherman 105 to Rifle company as an infatry support tank or a dual role indirect/direct fire tank move easy8 to Armor You'll already have so many BAR'ed riflemen that having bulldozer would be kinda weird though. I think e8 is fine where it is and currently it's the only really great thing in the commander at all (flamers and WP are nice, but I wouldn't forgo elite infantry for just them alone or anything). Dozer sherman fits in armor because it synergizes with M10s, while e8 and m10s is a weird and awkward overlapping combination. Just because it's called "armor" company doesn't mean it has to be the only company with good armor. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Super AT Guns26 Jun 2019, 21:51 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2019, 14:53 PMVipper The idea here is that cost is divided between the emplacement itself and the crew. That allows unit preservation and better pricing. For instance if the crew could abandoned the weapon and survive bombardments one could increase XP value and price for the package but lower the price for building the structure only. That's actually a really interesting idea. Honestly I'd love to see it applied to all british emplacements: if you make them decrewable or whatever you can change them to be a lot less frustrating without making them even more useless than they already are, same goes for pak 43 and maybe even those flak guns okw can build doctrinally.

Thread: USF Rifle Company Rework26 Jun 2019, 21:48 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2019, 20:19 PMVipper Yes because: RE in fighting position fire 2 grenades RE can suppress RE can be spammed If Rifle grenade bar is problem it could be simply be changed to take all weapon slots. Fighting position thing is weird. RE can pay munitions to die faster. RE can be spammed marginally faster than riflemen for being a lot worse in any situation other than having 1919s, in which case they'll never have riflegrenade launchers outside of fighting positions.

Thread: New USF doctrine is too good26 Jun 2019, 20:21 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2019, 10:24 AMLago They're really not. White Phosphorous shells are insanely good: before this you only got them on a Comet. Giving them to the Sherman, a unit that already has the excellent HE rounds, turns it into a superlative anti-tank gun killer. Throw in the armour upgrade and it also gains the edge over medium tanks: you've made is about as tough as an Easy Eight. +1 Except doesn't bulldozer upgrade only give extra health, not armor too? I'd rather see like a WP barrage for the mortar instead of the sherman if it gets replaced with anything at all. In: COH2 Balance
