Thread: Kubel needs changes6 Apr 2019, 18:30 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2019, 18:17 PMBalanced_Gamer Are there going to be fixes? Does anyone know? There wont be any changes before the new commanders are released and brought in line with hotfixes which is by the way completely reasonable. But lets hope that Andy_RE gives the mod team the permission for a bigger summer balance patch. In: COH2 Balance

That's how coh works I know that we wont see any of this changes in the next 2-3 months but maybe we can get an additional balance patch that includes a bigger OKW rework after the new commanders are released. They should do at least something with Specops. In: COH2 Balance

That seems unduly harsh on Ostheer, which in practice has a tech fork between their two medium tank buildings. I suggested T3 or T4. I don't think it should be any more than Battle Phase 3. I guess you are right on Ostheer. T3 +Phase 3 plus CP would probably be enough. In: COH2 Balance

It gets early 221 support and HEAT Pumas. True, thats why i would take away "mark target". But i agree that Elite Armor is probably the best commander for using Puma. Lets assume that the Commando Panther could be used elsewhere: Which tank could replace ST? JT is no option because JT+ HEAT is op as hell. An option that i would like: - KT reworked and doctrinal unit again - Available in Elite Armor (same tech requirements like before) @SeductiveCardbordBox: munition cost increase for "Flares" + bigger cooldown could also work In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Easy fixes to existing OKW commanders 6 Apr 2019, 05:58 AM Hi guys, i will post some suggestions to improve 2ndtier OKW commanders and make them more attractive. To achieve that goal some nerfs to "Specops" and "Overwatch" are needed. Here are the rules: You can only replace / rework 2 abilities 1 reworked ability and 1 replacement is also possible So, lets start! Get ready for a lot of text NO changes needed: - Fortifications doctrine, fine as it is! Only 1 fix needed: - *Scavenge doctrine* Only 1 reworked Ostwind away from being really good *- Luftwaffe Ground Forces* Out: Heavy fortifications replaced by: Weapon supply drop (PAk40, Gr34) This is a no brainer: Supply drops were used a lot for Falls during the war. Providing the PAK40 this commander will be a lot more attractive without further changes. *- Overwatch doctrine:* Out: leFH replaced by: "Mark target" / or Goliath occupying 1 commander slot again I would really like this ability in one of the OKW commanders and it fits to the theme. Combo of leFH + Sector Assault is too strong, makes "Fortress doc" unnecessary less attractive *- Elite Armor* Out: Sturmtiger (moved to Specops) Replaced by: Commando Panther Changes to Commando Panther: - tied to highest Tech building and 12 CP - loses "Mark target" (necessary because of the op combo of HEAT/"mark target") - fuel cost reduced to 200 Moving the Commando Panther" to "Elite Armor" makes a lot of sense because the unit can now use all tank related commander slots to compensate for the heavy nerfs. Fits to the theme too. *- Special operation* out: Commando Panther replaced by: Sturmtiger Even with this big change the commander will still be really strong. 2 fixes needed: *- Breakthrough doctrine* Reworked: Sturmofficer (should be the OKW version of the Artillery officer) Reworked: Sector Arty Combine these changes with the reworked Pfussies and the doctrine is a lot better! - Firestorm doctrine: Replaced: Opel Truck out, replaced by 251 HT from "German infantry" Reworked: Incendiary mun These 2 changes would make the doctrine better but buffs to MP40 volks and a reworked veterancy for the flamer hetzer would also be needed.

Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback5 Apr 2019, 18:26 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2019, 18:11 PMLago Skipping tech is the whole problem. It punishes the player who techs. No one will disagree on that. But i think the problem is less relevant for Wehrmacht because you only have access to Puma in 1 commander, you need tanks to survive while OKW players can get access to 3 strong units in Mechanized HQ. IMO its definitely a faction design problem. I dont know if a OKW rework is possible but if so Battlegroup HQ needs to be more attractive and Mechanized less attractive. OKW rework should also include some changes to the commanders. Commando Panther should be moved to a 2nd tier commander for example. It was annoying as hell to see Mobile defense in every game last year but we see "Specops" in 7/10 high rank 1vs1 and that sucks hard too. In: Lobby
