Thread: about okw medikit24 Sep 2019, 06:00 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2019, 05:23 AMMr. Someguy Unit preservation is a vital part of Company of Heroes, and that extends to unit healing. Every army needs access to adequate healing. Then why do the soviets have no healing beyond base HQ? Okw has medkits and medbase Ost has sdkfz 251 (now heals) medkits and bunkers Ukf has cp medics and medic tommies Usf has ambu and ambu medics... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50 cal - Why is it so good? 24 Sep 2019, 05:56 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 22:56 PMCODGUY I'm far from an expert on the Soviets but I've always had pretty good luck with their Penals into Scout Car then Shocks build. The only problem I've run into with Soviets is their later armor is pretty terrible unless you go with some doctrinal vehicles. USF and UKF have much better late game armor. What? Soviet armor may seem weak at first but is extremely powerful in combined arms... the su85 is qualitatively disadvantaged to the firefly or the jackson thanks to the lack of a turret and slow speed... soo its likely to get soloed by a medium if youre not careful... but is cheaper and has slightly higher dps low target size and it can self spot... not really strong as an independent TD but massively powerful when supported The T34 is less durable and much less survivable individually than the equivalent alled or axis medium (no escape mechanisms 20 less armor)... but is significantly cheaper and spammable... it wont fare well alone... just like the SU85... an enemy medium can easily hand a T34-76 spam if not supported... but when paired with an su85 or a zis.. the setup becomes quite potent... the only real lackluster thing about the T34 atm is ram which should do a guaranteed engine crit imo... The T70 is also pretty much the best lightank ingame... The only real lackluster vehicles in the soviet arsenal are the SU76 and the M5 halftrack... both should prolly be taken a look at In: COH2 Balance

Thread: 4v4 balance problems since patch22 Sep 2019, 00:21 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2019, 15:18 PMPanzerjager1943 Again, I don't think 0.875 would affect Rocket Artillery much if at all. The damage they deal and the radius of their AoE is quite good and it may have 0 effect; what does it matter if you deal 81 damage or 999 damage when your soldier has only 80 hitpoints? uhh heavies rely on aoe too in order to kill AT gun crews... any nerf in terms of aoe and aoe damage is going to hit rocket arty aslwell Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2019, 15:18 PMPanzerjager1943 And as to Infantry being worse against AT guns.. they need it. The 4-man AT guns are basically only 3 men, and against the blobs popular in 4v4 they don't stand a chance. The only AT guns that can survive are Soviet ones (that's plural since they can crew other faction's weapons and turn them into 6-men) and the Racketten. ive played plenty of 4v4s and i can preserve my zis/57mm/pak 40 well enough until the rocket artillery comes out (the intended counter)... and if you havent moved your AT gun away from the incoming blob then losing it is only appropriate... Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2019, 15:18 PMPanzerjager1943 Also, how would you nerf the Heavies against AT guns? The crew are target table type of just 'infantry', so any nerf to that would also affect every other infantry man in the game. It's not the gun itself that's the problem, its the scatter vs. the crew. Heavies are reliably two-shotting AT crews right now, and it's very unfair. this is perhaps the more important question... but a question i cannot answer only the balance team can fix this problem Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2019, 15:18 PMPanzerjager1943 Nerfing Heavies such as through Scatter or Target Table will affect their performance against regular troops, which is not desirable. They finally have a good role right now being specialized against Infantry, but they are just too powerful against the really low-crew size AT guns. So there has to be a buff to all 4-man AT guns. That or some new target table created just for them and just reducing damage from Heavies. your proposal will significantly change 2v2 dynamics as well as substantially nerfing all AT gun counters further promoting AT walls... lets see if the dev team can think of a different dynamic In: COH2 Balance

Comes out late, costs a lot, and has a small arc, but sets up fast and suppresses fast. Tradeoffs. by that argument the maxim should be much better since it comes out later than the mg42/34 In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Grens need a tone down21 Sep 2019, 12:38 PM grens are fine... they were a little weak before the 20% DR buff but now are stronger and less vulnerable to HE... though the balance team should also have given conscripts an early game buff to balance out the dynamic vs grens In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 4v4 balance problems since patch21 Sep 2019, 00:58 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2019, 12:06 PMPanzerjager1943 So the problems I see are that now that JT arrives later than ISU and deals 0 damage to Infantry, it should for no reason have the same range as ISU. It should therefore have either more range, or get damage vs. infantry (I would prefer more range for asymmetry - to keep the game interesting), because otherwise it's just going to remain a more expensive, later arriving, less versatile ISU. well hard countering armor is a much more efficient proposal than hard countering infantry... thats the real tradeoff between the JT/ISU and why it comes later than the ISU Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2019, 12:06 PMPanzerjager1943 As to the AT Gun wall, even with a damage reduction of 0.875x on only the 4-man teams, they're still going to be weaker in health than a Racketten gun wall (let alone a ZIS), and we all know that Rocket Artillery will continue to be the hard counter to AT gun walls. That will be unchanged by this. It is the proper counter right now and Racketten health is not high enough to survive Rocket Arty so this wouldn't be affected. It just might help with the super-rapid wipes that Heavy Tanks and Infantry have been able to do on these 4-man Gun crews, which was worsened very heavily by the most recent update. x0.875 may not even make enough of a difference. Hard to say without testing. a 0.875 DR reduction means rocket arty will be substantially affected along with all forms of indirect fire AND infantry... if heavies are the problem then nerf heavy performance against AT guns... NOT a DR reduction a DR reduction makes all AT gun counters including infantry and rocket artillery... units that are supposed to counter AT guns... much less efficient against AT guns... and this is completely unacceptable as AT walls are SUPPOSED to be countered by infantry and indirect fire In: COH2 Balance
