The MHT just makes the unit SOOO mechanized and I personally don't feel that is the brits in this game. Idk. Yeah I'd be totally fine with that too but honestly I didn't suggest it mostly because the pack howie is super strong. I think it might be a bit too much for a faction that's well-structured to play defensive. At least with usf they have to be a bit more fluid and aggressive which makes the pack howie a bit more awkward to use I guess. But I still think it'd be a lot better than regular mortar. And I don't know that it'd be a huge problem anyway. In: COH2 Balance

(Barrage CD at every level too) At least we now have RE mines, which you'll likely have 2 for sweeper and rifle nades to plant those, not the best not the worst. Yeah I'm not so worried about its defensibility, I just think its not really good enough offensively, especially with how much it costs. It's got no specific merits: doesn't have a particularly large salvo size, not particularly accurate, and doesn't fire particularly fast either. And again, it's still the most expensive rocket arty piece by a bit. In: Lobby

Thread: Kubel needs changes3 Apr 2019, 21:33 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2019, 15:34 PMSeductiveCardbordBox Absolutely not no. It retains usefulness as a maphack from vet 1. The only thing is needs is some trickle shared vet from infantry to let it actually get past vet 2. And a 88mm on top. Maybe a dozer blade. Don't forget coaxial IR stgs. And a flamethrower.

Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback3 Apr 2019, 21:31 PM Calliope still seems pretty aggressively meh too. Doesn't really fire that many rockets and also spaces them out pretty far (timewise). At least the rockets are fairly effective when they actually hit stuff lol. It's also still the most expensive rocket arty and takes 15 popcap (probably too much IMO). Literally the only thing it's got going for it is health, but its also super slow (only the land mattress is slower lol). Couple that with slow riflemen snares and lack of real mines and its probably not super hard to dive (which would be fine if it wasn't so lackluster offensively). In: Lobby
Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback3 Apr 2019, 20:57 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2019, 20:24 PMVipper Ostheer PzIV, Panther and Brumbar get only armor as bonus not armor and HP. And the armor bonuses they get has very little affect since the heavy TDs get bigger penetration bonuses. I personally use the Dozer upgrade many times since it allow the unit to survive 2 AT weapons firing together. I am generally against incendiary grenades in mainline infatry. Imo it should be available do specialized units to make them more attractive. Right forgot that got changed (it used to right?). Still, its a pretty big tradeoff that is useful in that scenario you brought up but its oftentimes better to just be that much faster and be able to back out before you even take a second volley. You won't be outrunning anything except a pak or pgrens at max range with the dozer blade, and that'll oftentimes get shermans killed. I really don't see why there shouldn't be a toggle for the blade like in coh1. I agree with that sentiment but that's currently not the case, and I don't think they're going to take incendiary nades off of volks anytime soon. Volks' nade assault doesn't even share a cooldown with their normal incendiary nade. The riflemen's incendiary also seems a bit overpriced if it's the same as a molotov (although the riflemen's throw animation is significantly shorter). ~~On an unrelated note, the mod reverts usf back to the pre-tech changes patch tech structure lol (50 fuel LT and 60 fuel capt). Could use a fix just to make it a bit more properly usable/testable.~~ Just noticed I had accidently picked a tuning pack so I'm guessing that's what caused that. Didn't bother to confirm that though. Also, just picking the commander locks rear echelons out of using smoke even if they don't have the riflenade launcher. Is not having smoke on the riflenade upgraded squads intended? Edit: It also locks officers out of smoke too. No smoke at all lol. In: Lobby
Thread: British - Lend Lease Assault - Feedback3 Apr 2019, 20:49 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2019, 20:14 PMTiger Baron I mean, there's already the vehicle crew repair, if they add the AA upgrade to the M5 that would overlap by a lot. Oh yeah forgot that they added that lol. That pretty much fixes the problem completely. Although I did like smoke raid for the flavor. Also I still really wish they would replace the mortar with the mortar HT. Edit: thompsons are still bugged and don't show up, nor do their sounds or tracers. They seem to be working though (in terms of dealing damage and all that). I tested it by letting everyone but the 2 guys with thompsons die and they still wiped a pio squad. Bullet impacts were visible but no tracers or sounds (except for bullet impact sounds). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank Call-Ins3 Apr 2019, 20:42 PM +1 all the way. Although "reliable" guns hopefully doesn't mean "reliable 1 shot wipe" guns. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British - Lend Lease Assault - Feedback3 Apr 2019, 20:12 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2019, 17:30 PMTiger Baron Agreed on the Assault Section, might be easier to balance and tweak. Yeah for sure. That way they can have better veterancy for their role. I think losing the weapon slot would definitely be a good idea too. It'd be nice if there was something to make repairing m10s a litle less painstaking. Either the decrew that usf get or the repair ability on the m5 (from AA campaign) would be interesting IMO.

Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback3 Apr 2019, 19:06 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2019, 17:35 PMVipper I would simply add a the Dozer and replace the Blades with a timed ability increasing the DPS from and against garrison or a some sort reckon. Reckon could anything from a plane to flares from mortars and pack howitzers. Easy8 simply belongs to another commander like armor. Recon for usf is not a great idea just cuz they already have the major recon. It'd be like giving a callin hmg34 to ostheer (so a waste of a slot). I'd like if the dozer upgrade either gave extra armor in addition to the 80hp boost and/or had a toggle for the crush and speed reduction like coh1. As it is, I feel like giving them the dozer blade is counter intuitive since the speed reduction really makes it a sitting duck especially once panthers (which are way faster than dozer shermans) hit the field. I just don't see the point in slowing down a relatively lightly armored tank (as far as armor as a whole goes). And before someone complains that a straight hp and armor upgrade would be OP, remember that the ost P4 and both panthers and brummbar get the exact same thing with vet, and dozer blades are a doctrinal ability. I don't think it's a huge issue that riflemen get incendiary nades given that OKW have incendiary nades on volks and can get the grenade assault with scavenge or spec ops doctrine (so it mirors having 1 nondoc nade and one doctrinal ability nade at the same time).
