Thread: 'Initial' Vehicle Adjustment Ideas24 Aug 2020, 04:31 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2020, 01:48 AMAngrade (Ægion) With the recent threads about the WC51, here is my response to the unit and all similar units. Note, I have slightly tone down the weapons since the video. And sorry for the bad audio quality. For me, the WC51, M3A1 Scout car, Kubel, and the Universal Carrier always have felt 'off.' Their life span is quite limited and their role even more so. So, I have adjusted them in my mod. Primarily their turn rates have been greatly increased due to how clunky they feel. Their health and armor has been adjusted so engagements are more reliable. All rifles penetration has also be increased to 1.5 from 1. This should make them more of a standalone unit rather than a single purpose unit. Their flanking capabilities and response times are increased so they can a great support units while able to support capturing. Rifle penetration being increased to 1.5 with be a ninja nerf to shock troops btw In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Riflemen and M1919.23 Aug 2020, 02:36 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2020, 00:50 AMCODGUY Obers and Panzergrens out class Riflemen but what do all three of these units have in common? They're all non-doctrinal units. So you have standard Axis units that will outpreform USF units despite the claim "Allies (especially USF) have better infantry". So the truth is USF doesn't actually have better infantry at all. The only exception is doctrinal Paratroopers, I don't think there is a better infantry unit in the game but that's limited to Airborne or Recon. I have to admit that this is one of the rare times you're making a valid point, albeit tangentially. It is something I really hope to see for greater balance - that all factions have access to important strategic tools non-doctrinally. Flamers, indirect fire and rocket artillery are all important tools that have been locked behind doctrines for the sake of "faction flavour". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen and M1919.23 Aug 2020, 00:26 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2020, 19:06 PMVaz I think axis dps is more of an issue. Some of the axis accuracy values can be lowered without breaking the game. If Axis elite infantry were nerfed then Allied elite infantry would certainly need the same axe to befall them. All elite infantry have ridiculous DPS. A single Thompson Paras/Rangers or Shocks beating 2 Axis squads is the norm, while Commandos need to ambush to pull that off. Elite infantry need that superior cost-effectiveness because they usually have no snares/utility and come out much later versus already vetted and/or upgraded mainline infantry. They also have smaller windows of effectiveness because light vehicles are already hitting the field and medium vehicles will follow soon after. The reason you think only Axis elite infantry have super-high dps is that you only play Allies/USF. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen and M1919.22 Aug 2020, 16:08 PM I have a 7 game win streak with OKW and 6 game loss streak with USF. It's clear CODGUY's logic is infallible. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Is the WC 51 overperforming ? 15 Aug 2020, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Aug 2020, 11:54 AMKatitof I have never seen it being used, just like the arty. Hows's it a problem? I mean, you have also "never seen it win games" even though VonIvan literally popularised the doctrine by winning an entire series in a tournament using WC51 abuse, and it's one of the most popular picks in 1 v 1, especially vs OKW, and is only overshadowed by Recon Support. The WC51 is wildly overperforming, but the rest of the doctrine is only so-so. I would prefer improving the rest of the doctrine and making the WC51 more reasonable. It can still be the best ultra light because it's doctrinal, but it shouldn't be this godlike. As always, only the usual CODGUY-level extremists think that an M3 clown car with the best mobility in game and can garrison Cav Riflemen or regular Rifles for chasedown wipes, that doesn't cost fuel, doesn't require screwing yourself over by going t1, arrives earlier and has no tech or CP requirements, can cap, can self-repair, has free nitro boost, and a high dps MG which outranges infantry - apparently that's not wildly overperforming. When you compare the Kubel, the m3, the UC, and the 221, you see a nice balance of unique strengths and weaknesses. Kubel is cheap, mobile, and can cap, BUT Low dps, can't really fire on the move, and can't garrison squads or do much else. M3 has good mobility, good damage and can garrison units for chasedown wipes, BUT costs fuel, requires the building of the extremely unattractive Sov T1, can't cap or self-repair. UC has good damage and decent armour as well as useful upgrades, BUT can't garrison squads, upgrade locked behind tech, poor maneuverability, higher cost, can't cap. 221 has good mobility, good damage, and a good upgrade, BUT can't garrison squads, costs fuel, can't cap, and is tech-gated in terms of timing.

Thread: Is the WC 51 overperforming ? 15 Aug 2020, 14:43 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Aug 2020, 07:31 AMSumi Exactly! This added to the fact that Axis infantry have the most snares and available from the start while allied infantry lack snares to counter early vehicles. If wc51 was sturdy same could be applied for M20 yet it dies with smoke and over the top speed and barely survives after the 10 min mark. People here have an agenda and they don't wanna see any early game advantage for allies coz they wanna have them all. This is factually wrong in every way. The amount of ignorance in your post is truly horrifying. Before you say something so monumentally stupid, you might want to actually try playing both sides. I have 1500 games as Allies and 1600 as Axis, and actually understand the situations all factions face, unlike players who have only ever played USF. Axis literally have no early game ultra lights apart from the doctrinal 221 which can't transport units, costs fuel, can't repair itself, can't cap, and comes out two minutes later. It also has such ridiculously bad armour that 2 squads can just run towards it and force the 221 to escape. And of course, Kubels (which hardly even fight) are not even a threat to combat engineers in cover. So many brainless players idiotically parrot the "oh Grens start with faust" line as if it's some amazing advantage. The fact that Ost need early game snares to even play the game is because every Allied faction has game-ending ultra lights that come out 1:30 to 2:00. Soviet, USF, and Brit ultra lights which come out at 1:30 to 2:00 can either inflict insane bleed (10+ kills) or outright chasedown wipe infantry at will. Allies don't need early game snares since Axis has no actual early game ultra lights. Literally the earliest stock Axis light vehicle is the 222 which comes out at 4:30 to 5:00. The doctrinal Ost clown car comes in at about 4:00 to 4:30. Axis light vehicle pressure in the first 5 minutes is virtually non-existent; it's not as if gated snares were causing USF or Soviets to die to 3 minute clown car chasedowns. If Grens didn't start with faust it would be Soviet T1 into M3 into auto-win in the first 5 minutes of every Sov-Ost matchup. OKW got the raketen in T0 to balance the fact that they have no faust. If OKW or Ost had a WC51 equivalent, every Allied faction could start with T0 snares for free and it wouldn't matter. The Axis-WC51 would just bleed Allied infantry to death from 45 range while avoiding snares, just like they do right now. And we'd be back to the same discussion, except that maybe finally Allies-only players would concede that the WC51 is way too good for its cost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the WC 51 overperforming ? 9 Aug 2020, 04:28 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Aug 2020, 14:27 PMSumi Are you trolling again? Comparing 76mm's AI with Jackson when Jackson has no AI and AT with M4 when M4's AT finds it tough to go toe-to-toe against pz4? While comparing dolphins with humans would you consider swimming or running? I don't remember the 5 vehicles do list them out will help me. The last 3 things are found in the WC 51 which a lot but it barely is able to survive past the 5 min mark or when the early axis light vehicles hit the field. And you are correct WC51 nerf will not make the commander totally useless since it is already totally useless with the WC51 in it and also if this commander provides a lot of doc vehicles or abilities why does it fails to even make the top3 for USF commanders? You won't even find this commander in the loadout of <250 rank matches. It's in the loadout of virtually every match in top 100. No idea what you're smoking. Yes, the WC51 is the main reason to get the commander. Because it's pretty damn fking OP. It's insanely fast and can outrun a 222, has 45 range, high dps, and is great for cheesey chase-wipes in the first 5 mins of the game, which allows you to build that USF snowball. The whole commander (the way VonIvan popularised it) was built on WC51 abuse into quick Sherman and snowballing/bleeding your opponent super hard. Go big or go home style of play. It's actually the easiest ultra light to keep alive into the midgame since it has muni-free step on it, high sight range, and insane speed/acceleration values. Most players lose it to mines or unexpected rak/pak hitting from afar rather than the 222 or Luchs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Calliope balancing9 Aug 2020, 04:11 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2020, 10:13 AMLoren Apart from survivability, Calliope has no outstanding advantage over other rocket artillery. If you want to take survivability back from Calliope, you'll have to tweak cp, price, barrage cooldown, etc. When this happens, Calliope becomes a PW with just the skin changed. We should also make it stock and call it a day. There's enough faction flavour as it is, I'd rather have balance and playability. In: COH2 Balance
