Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 18:43 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 18:22 PMTobis The .9 cover accuracy on the g43 makes them beat penals in cover regardless of range, though it's somewhat close at range 10. You can literally move the penals up one meter to range 9 and annihilate the jaegers because they aren't in cover, but he wants to ignore that. That's reasonable performance for a 280mp squad with 45 muni upgrade. thats not how this works.. going out of cover at 10 meters is still going to kill you more than going into cover at 10 meters... what the 0.9 accuracy multiplier means is that in cover a shot is only 90% accurate as opposed to 100% accurate outside of cover... likewise a standard grenadier shot or a penal shot gets a 0.5 accuracy multiplier in cover... which means a penal round or a gren round is only 50% effective in cover... no the only way penals are beating JLI is if they close to point blank range 5m or below (tested already) and closing in from max range to point blank vs a lone JLI squad already ensures death for the penal squad... (also tested)... in fact due to sprint penals are extra dead vs JLI... Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 18:22 PMTobis I see a lot of, "why can't my penal spam beat combined arms?" in this thread. Try out new unit combos in the new meta. JLI are literally designed to counter penals and guards. Flamer CE, conscripts with molotovs, and shocks are all good versus JLI. conscripts and T2 builds are absolutely shit to the point that they arent even used outside of PPSH doctrines... and even then only used vs ost because volks stomp them outright... conscripts need a serious buff long discussed in my can we buff sov t2 now? thread CEs are a good way of wasting manpower as they are too expensive for 170mp units... and even with the flamer are generally vulnerable to the volk stg anyways... note that 2 CEs cost more than 1 sturmpio... which annihilates 2 CEs gladly at almost any range mind you... shocks yes... shocks are a solution to JLI... but substituting all your infantry with shocks just to counter combined arms shows how stupidly powerful the combination is... Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 18:22 PMTobis JLI are obviously going to be nerfed in the next patch, they aren't a 250 mp squad. Comparing them to pathfinders doesn't work because pathfinders are pretty shit, only good because they come at cp0 now. Would like to see them buffed too. i dont see paths as shit even without bars... i generally dont even give them bars... i let US infantry duke it out and use the paths to snipe low HP models along with general recon purposes which USF doesnt get... really good vs mg play..

Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 18:24 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:52 PMVipper Pls stop personal comments. Is there any relationship between "slaughter penals at range 10" and critical kills from the scoped g43? Because according to the to the weapon curve of the G43 it perform better at range 27 than it does at range 10. Now unless you have any data about the performance of scoped g43 PLS stop dropping arbitrary numbers about what the threshold should be. we dont have empirical data but we do have logic... a comparison between I&R pathfinders in a similar situation shows that that the G-43 performance must be responsible for the majority of the kills as the only real difference in combat ability between I&R paths and JLI as of the moment remains the superior performance of the G-43... this shows at the very least something is responsible in the G-43 that causes the vast gap in performance and the only differences i see are evidence 1: looking thru the data A. 0.9 acc vs cover B. 70% health crit it is therefore logical to assume one of these 2 must be the culprit for the insane performance evidence 2: paths get slaughtered by JLI with the sniper rifle... but is completely reversed without the G-43 evidence 3: i have tested JLI without the sniper vs the targets ive previously stated (penals obers shocks etc)... their performance is almost identical to grenadiers... which further leads me to conclude that the G-43 is the problem evidence but not empirical testing data: i see in my tests a model snipe vs a lightly damaged model from the sniper is usually what kills the enemy models not the fire from the grenadier KARs... this is data from observation and in no way actual numbers though.... i therefore made a theory theory: models brought to 70% HP are being critted and sniped by the G43... a fix to pathfinder standards may fix this appropriate testing method: balance mod Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:52 PMVipper I am not acting anything, I am simply correcting your statement that JLI get better modifier vs cover. They do not. Only the upgrade scoped G43 does. yes but thats the whole point... even with 40% crit JLI still have a role as anti garisson with G-43 and do not become redundant as you and sanders claim... standard JLI have the role of being infiltrating stealthy grenadier squads with long recon range is a good role for 250mp... Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:52 PMVipper Now if you want to collect data about the affect this has place a enemy squad in a building and test 10 fights vs Jagers with and without the scoped G43. Or if you want I can make you mod where the G43 has normal modifier vs cover so you can test. the grenadier rifles shouldnt get 0.9% vs cover... the main purpose of JLI is as infiltrating units.... to do damage behind the lines.. recon enemy positions... boobytrap points and get the hell out of bad situations... well worth 250mp... only with the G-43 should they also serve as long range anti garrison Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:52 PMVipper You are actually wrong about PF, their best at mid range and not long range. their DPM is highest at midrange yes... but you have to contrast this with the DPM of the targets that are shooting at you Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:52 PMVipper PLS until you actually thoroughly test these things in meaningful way don't spam posts. Happy holidays. i do have a hypothesis and a test in mind... i just dont know how to make a balance mod as of the moment... i could search up the modding tools and make it myself but i dont have the time to do such a thing as of the moment likewise my test vs pathfinders and penals remain sound...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:25 PMSander93 Only the sniper has 0,9 accuracy modifier, the other rifles do not. And one BAR already gives Pathfinders nearly the same performance vs heavy cover as JLI. pathfinders dont even GET a 0.5 acc modifier vs covered targets... even with a 40% crit id still take the JLI out for anti garrison In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 17:27 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:20 PMVipper If you do not have any data pls stop spamming as if you actually have the right numbers are you dumb? i still have empirical evidence they slaughter penals at range 10... Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 17:20 PMVipper And read the notes again, it is not the JLI only the sniper rifle has better chance vs cover. yes but JLI get 0.9 bonus as opposed to 0.5 for everyone else... OKW still gets a strong anti garrison unit soo dont act like OKW doesnt get it... also since when does OKW get a sniper rifle outside of JLI? panzerfusiliers excluded they dont get such sniper rifles... mind you panzerfusiliers are LONG RANGE line infantry aswell... and JLI slaughter them completely...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 17:18 PM this means that JLI can be long range dedicated anti garrison even with 40% crit well worth 250mp but not OP In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 16:58 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 16:46 PMSander93 40% crit chance suggestion is stupid. No one would want a Gren squad that crits at 40% when you have STG Volks and Obersoldaten. It works for Pathfinders because they can equip BARs and because they generally fight smaller squads. JLI need a high crit chance or nobody will use them. it takes double bars to achieve parity with jagers which highlights how ridiculously strong jagers are... paths also still retain the 0.9 bonus vs cover which gives them increased performance vs units in cover something neither obers nor volks can do... they still remain valuable as long range firesupport they dont need a high crit chance outside of your biased opinion In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost27 Dec 2018, 16:08 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 15:55 PMWiderstreit There are multible ways and problems. Moving units can be an easy solution, sometimes. (Tests are needed). But like you said, Cons aren't that good without commander. And Penals are too good to give a reason to buff Cons. my suggestion is much less destructive to balance penals - nerf to volks mosin clone give optional DP upgrade but keep PTRS as optional SVT deathblobs wont occur but penals are now good at holding the line but lose alot of dps on the move... no more unstoppable deathblobs... cons - ppsh becomes nondoc... ppsh commander abilities get replaced by cons storm package with smoke grenades HE nade and hit the dirt... cons are still balanced vs grens earlygame but now can compete vs grens lategame without getting slaughtered maxim - +0.001 suppression and inc damage... maxim no longer becomes useless In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost27 Dec 2018, 15:49 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 15:44 PMWiderstreit Because why? Because you have to build Cons and tech AT-grenades? Penals have to be pushed out of normal early-game. They are specialists, no line-infantry. thats a long discussion but a short way of putting it is 1. conscripts suck without doctrines 2. even with AT nades sov will be helpless vs the halftrack the 221 and the luchs 3. the maxim sucks 4. T2 generally sucks to the point its unused without the PPSH doc... 5. i actually do agree on nerfing penals giving them volks mosins for 260mp with an optional techup to DPs for lategame scaling at the least... this means penals wont be oppressive kill everything SVT deathblobs and even in the lategame they have to stop to shoot In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's 221 is too weak for its 20 fuel cost27 Dec 2018, 15:40 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2018, 15:28 PMWiderstreit Sniper without Penals, so an unit like 221 is able to counter a sniper if soviet doesn't want to build T1 for AT or doesn't tech AT-grenades for Cons. A punishment if you ignor the commander and still want to tech directly T70. That is the risc sovits need. Penal&ptrs + Sniper + T70 simply works too good. actually T2 is already super shit as it is... doing this would mean soviet T2 would be completely unplayable... In: COH2 Balance
