Thread: My perspective on the upcoming changes as a UKF main23 Dec 2020, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 20:17 PMKatitof You honestly believe current live 4 sections with 1.25 cap speed cap slower then preview version bo with 3 1.0 cap speed rifles and 1 combat ineffective RE with 1.25? Like... really? Based on... what exactly, because most certainly not on stats or reality. Was it tested against an actual player or easy AI? Because players will contest you and that RE isn't going to hold any territory and neither will the outnumbered by that point sections. An A.I turned off. I said at the end of the post that whether it holds true with contesting units needs testing. Cause especially on crossroads it's actually less efficient to use a section to side cap for more map control rather than just using a Sappers squad early on. In fact in similar fights vs stuff like pioneers or even a lone osttrupen squad Sappers perform okay. A side note is that the sandbag building change doesn't really affect your capping speed if you only build the sandbag on the fuel point for the defense. It all depends on some case sample games thou and will need some real tests. However, Vipper is right that in a vacuum, you can cap faster with 3 section 1 Sapper than you can with 4 section in the very beginning of the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My perspective on the upcoming changes as a UKF main23 Dec 2020, 20:06 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 16:04 PMVipper You are assuming that UKF cap slower in preview when they can actually cap faster by producing a Ro.E. Vipper is actually right on this I did some testing. The chosen map was crossroads. I did a regular 4 section build on the live patch, a 4 section build on the test patch, and a 2 section, sapper, Section build on the test patch. The requirement was to cap one half of the map and build one sandbag on the fuel point. The 4 sections build on the live patch capping speed was 2:05 The 4 sections build on the test patch capping speed was 2:12 The 2 sections, sapper, section build capping speed was 2:03. At 2:12, I capped 2 more standard territory points than the 4 section build on the test patch. Keep in mind all timers were started at 0, I made sure to edge cap as well. This means that theoretically, it is true that a brit player will have more map if they go for a sapper after 2nd section because of the reduced cost and build time of the sapper allowing it to come significantly faster than the 3rd section would in a 4 section build. A Sappers squad will definitely allow the brit player to sustain map control early if it just came down to capping ofc. Whether or not that holds true when another player is contesting it is another story. Will need some case sample games to determine that. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback2 Dec 2020, 09:53 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 09:42 AMProtos Angelus In what universe is a doctrinal 76mm with penetration values that range from 165 to 220 with ammo switch and reload of 6.1s OP. It's a strong tank, but you pretty much like to throw around the word OP when it comes to any allied faction so I guess nothing new. Same as Pfussies thread. Strong but not OP (same as how you are still saying that the brummbar is UP) Naw man 76 is a broken busted ass tank with borderline insane vet bonuses. The reload is actually 4.1-4.5 not 6.1 unless you talk about hvap which you don't need vs infantry or the most commonly seen ost P4. The DPM is the highest among the medium tanks factoring radio net, vet bonuses, and combined arms. No other medium can match that level of pure destructive firepower. Like I know we all like to shit on vipper but 76 is a busted tank and needs to be looked at. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback27 Nov 2020, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2020, 09:42 AMSander93 Fastest path to Ostwind: BP1 100mp, BP2 200mp, T3 140mp, total of 440mp SWS 70mp, BGHQ 200mp, SWS 70mp, SPHQ unupgraded 100mp, total of 440mp Ost may need an additional 80mp and/or 100mp for T1/T2, but OKW squads are a bit more expensive. The 251/17 is also more expensive than Ost's LVs in terms of manpower. Manpower and fuel costs for Ostwind are now roughly equal. Whether or not that's okay within OKW remains to be seen (please test). Okw path that provides relevant unit production in a real game, healing, and tech for > 440 mp Wehr path that provides relevant unit production in a real game, healing, and tech for > 770 mp. No, the manpower and fuel costs for ostwind aren't now roughly equal. They are only equal if you completely ignore the relevant tech structures, and healing, that makeup Ost's core army production (T1 for grens and T2 for paks). Your math isn't wrong, but the way in which you constructed your argument for "roughly equal" is far removed from the reality of a game both in 1v1 and in team games. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback27 Nov 2020, 02:26 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2020, 02:20 AMelchino7 I think there is merit to be concerned about Hetzer but i'm not sure how the Ostwind compares to the timing of the OH one. 150 fuel cost okw vs 155 fuel cost ost. Okw requires MUCH less manpower thou. It's not even fair. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback26 Nov 2020, 23:42 PM Okay, I just played some 2v2 test games with Kobald, Storm, Tomy, Spaget, etc We're all relatively high rank and we all agree that the fact Hetzler and Ostwind come before panzer authorization is completely broken. The build goes like this > 3 volks > Med HQ > flak HT. Because you don't have to spend healing crates (cause of the medics change) you get around 120 munitions at that flak HT timing and you can get 2 STGs and a flak HT at like minute 4-5. This early game spike spirals into a fast Ostwind/Hetzler way too fast. There's nothing to reliably pen the Hetzler by the 12 minutes it comes out. It can frontally kill all current at guns. Especially if someone tries to go for the new penals. Please for the love of god don't let this go live D: In: COH2 Balance

Thread: World Championships is/was stale as old bread24 Nov 2020, 03:56 AM Ironically we had more build diversity in the Heavy Tonk meta than now lol. It's just oversight thou. Remember that the extremely dominant doctrines atm didn't get much if any changes from the last Heavy Tonk Patch. If you remove the blatantly overpowered commanders (Osttrupen, Royal Arty, Urban Defense, Infantry doctrine, etc) the rest of the game balance is quite nice. But there are just uber doctrines that didn't get banned from the tournaments yet for some reason. If I wanted to watch Jeep opening into a LV and Sherman spam for USF vs Cheap ost mainline and team weapon play delaying into mediums and heavies I really would watch Coh1. We've basically had 3 ML already with just Usf Mech vs Ost Osttrupen. Some people can watch that for 25 games and be fine with it but it's kind of getting stale watching Coh1 in Coh2 for 3 tournaments already. This ain't the first time we had this problem. Remember when Ost Mobile Defense doctrine vs Sov Armored Assault commander a year or two before? Ost Mobile defense had like a 70% pick rate for axis. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Dream QoL changes for Coh223 Nov 2020, 00:32 AM Stuff that most likely impossible to make happen but would be nice to have in no particular order. That's why it's a dream 1: Statistic library within the game. This would basically be a place after launching coh2.exe on the main menu where you can see each unit's stats such as RA, DPS, cost, manpower upkeep, and etc. 2: Grenade voice lines change. A lot of grenade voice lines in this game are plenty good but there are some that don't prioritize the word GRENADE. There's one line particular for tommies where they say "Bloody hell... GRENADE!" This to me is silly. By the time you register the word grenade in your head, the squad will basically already have ate the grenade. (Assuming ofc you aren't looking at the unit.) Sappers also don't have a throwing AT grenade line so it would be nice to have one for that too. As a general rule, I would like the GRENADE Part first. I guess the same with most other combat lines? Make the unit say what's attacking them first? 3: Better MG arc indicators. Too many times have a unit crawled out of the MG "Arc" and still were shot at by the enemy 4: Vehicle wreck pathing change. Has the stuck on the enemy vehicle wreck killed your light vehicles before? Then you know what I'm talking about. I don't know what has to change but it would be a blessing to have that wreck not make a tank turn 360 degrees trying to path out of it. 5: Commander Icon and UI icon changes. The Coh2 modders have been working hard on that one I hope it gets implemented next patch. 6: Updated tutorials to help new players. Enough said about dat 7: Idk tell me what yall want to see! No balance changes please In: COH2 Gameplay
