Thread: Why is the Maxim so bad?12 Feb 2022, 12:10 PM The maxim isnent bad its just overpiced. Its the inadaquate tool for the job its supposed to do. If its meant to do what all the other mg's can do with infirior stats the price should reflect that. Its nonesense that it costs 260mp wich is the same as the much better mg42 and 10mp more then the mg34 wich is also better. A good example is the t34 wich is a good tank mostly because its priced according to its impact value wich is the lowest out of the mediums. This logic should apply for the maxim as well, not the maxim ptsd logic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is the Maxim so bad?12 Feb 2022, 08:25 AM Just make it 240 mp again or increase the cost of the mg42 to its actual preformance level. If grens costed as much as sections and rifles would be equally redicolous. The difference in preformance should be visable in the price. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USA scotts (M8A1)6 Feb 2022, 11:19 AM I tend to agree that if the scott is cancarous to fight cuz of smoke and mobility and being unable to kill it in a single dive mostly means smoke has to be removed. Then all smoke from 222 puma even flaktrack p4 up to panthers tigers and brumbar etc should be removed/nerfed. As these are as mobile or far more durable and impactfull. The amount of times all off them escape death because of it is very high. Yet its a no no when the scott can do it, wich mostly counters static play as it should. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pioneers vs Rear Echelon31 Jan 2022, 18:06 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2022, 15:58 PMVipper That is Per entity, same DPS better RA. I have not tested but I would guess that 3 CE would beat 2 conscript in straight up fight. For a engineer unit that is not bad at all. Its indeed not bad. But as a squad cons are a better unit. Combined with flamer ce's they get really strong, they perfect synergy or combined arms in the early to mid game imo. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Pioneers vs Rear Echelon30 Jan 2022, 12:19 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2022, 20:54 PMVipper They are better at fighting than conscripts, same dps better target size. So for the cheapest engineer units being as better than their mainline of their faction yes they are a "decent unit". Saying that ce's are better combatants then the main line conscripts is quite a stretch. They lack staying power on their own with less models and less guns, Their real strentgh is their price and synergy with flamers and conscripts merging. Rear echelons are quite pointless to get compared to any other engineer esp ce's. Crew repairs and tech not being build by engies being one reason, not having proper mines sandbags being another. Having smoke should make them a vital unit, however it doesnt. Mortar and officers make it so. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Making M-42's canister shot more player friendly12 Jan 2022, 16:40 PM Making it into a expensive timed ability with long cooldown with 40 or 50 range would be the best solution imo. Its usefull and cant be spammed or changed on the fly this way. In: Lobby
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable10 Jan 2022, 19:53 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2022, 17:31 PMVipper PLS leave personal comments out of it. The comparison of zis and brumbar and their abilities is simply bad but you entitled to a different opinion. The argument that something that comes later is better than something is available right at the start of the game is very weak since it applies to many units and their abilities. If you argument is that Brumbar is too good in wiping things feel free to present your case (you should thing like the scatter tool, stats, test, replays) just leave zis out of it. My suggestion is to look a bit deeper though because you wrong about the munition cost and the range buff. You made a personal comment before. So dont complain or tell me stop when the ball rolls back at you. I can at least admit mistakes. Something a lot people cant do. But hey you go and use that to feel supirior. I used the zis barrage and specificly the reason it was nerfed, the argument used to justify it is my point. It should applied here as well. You seem to avoid that part and soley focus on the zis barrage. But thats not new with you. But i did look deeper as you suggested. I am on my phone so getting all the numbers on screen is a pain. But i found that the brumbar in terms of ai power (80 kill distance aoe scatter) has shells wich seem to be suprior to the kv2. Bbb fires 2 almost 3 shells where the kv2 fires 1 time depending on its mode. Thats worth a look imo. Not that anything will change at this point though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable10 Jan 2022, 16:46 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2022, 10:16 AMVipper The differences between a Brummbär and zis and their abilities is not simply "time wise". In addition that is pretty common in the game units that become available later get better tools, because else there would be little reason to tech. For instance elite grenades are better than normal grenades. The comparison is not helpful in anyway especially since there are unit/abilities that far closer to the Brummbär to compare with. Choosing the specific comparison is an indication that someone does not really have any serious argument and makes an arbitrary comparison to support his weak case. Or you can even run some tests and see how probable is to get a wipe with barrage or even better use the unit yourself and see how many kill you can get in an actual game by using the barrage. You dont have to explain the game design. My point isent weak non serious or arbatrery just because you dont agree. And stating i use specifiek comparisons to hide something like a weak argument is quite rich, its something you are quite familier with. So please stop there. And i will stop here as well. The game has a history or nerfing units or abilities specificly because the potential wipe power was to big for their timing. This includes the late game. So the point you made that late game is basicly an excuse for having arguably to strong abilities is false. Even without the bbb the brumbar is a very good vehicle. That 150 fuel doesnt just pay for its gun. Feel free to respond or not. We will have to agree to disagree i think. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable10 Jan 2022, 09:01 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2022, 16:31 PMVipper You can find the change log here and check for the patches Brumbar got. https://www.coh2.org/topic/4307/coh2-changelog When it comes to barrage there mostly nerfs The ability might or might not be "to good for its cost" (it used to be free) but comparison with Zis barrage are not really helpful in anyway and seem more like rant about allied things being up and axis things being op than anything else. This is not a rant about allied up. I have little that i think is up esp factions as a whole. There is plenty to fill the gaps left by certain faction traits with doctrines or other units coverings those gaps. The comparison was made to illustrate that certain abilities while simaler to others except timing wise are fine while others who are weaker are deemed op. The logic with the zis barrage nerf was i left little time to react for the receiving player. The bbb leaves even less time to react but is fine somehow for 5 muni more. In: COH2 Balance
