Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable9 Jan 2022, 16:17 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2022, 10:46 AMVipper Brumbar's barrage has the same range since it was introduced there has been no buff to the barrages range. I distincly remember some people complaining that bbb was usseles because they reduced they range of the ability. And it got reversed. I could have misread that, or just be plain wrong. If so my apologies. But it doesnt change my opinion the bbb is to good for its cost and or the unit its on. Its to punishing fo tw atm. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable9 Jan 2022, 08:33 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2022, 18:16 PMHannibal I am fairly sure you misunderstand him. He is talking about the extended 60 range of the BBB. Is "buff" the 100% correct word for that? No, but in the context of the whole paragraph, I understand the BBB's extended range. But maybe Mr. Carmine can clarify. The brumbar regurarly kills more then one model in a single shot as well as damaging quite a few as well. Ofcourse when it hits. The bbb a while back had less range then currently. It made the ability quite underwelming. I dont know if the intervall between rounds in the bbb is the the same as then but imo when the range was shorte, afaik the same as the regular shell (45) the low intervall made sense. The brumbar was mostly in range of dedicated at units. Right now it can fire the bbb from 60 range with imo to low interval. For 30 munition (i was under the assumption it was 15 before) while far deadlier for 5 muni difference it to cheap imo. There are abilities as deadly or close wich cost more and are easier to stop/counteract. You often hear that wiping abilities are bad for the game, yet usualy when it involves late game units from axis mostly but also allies sometimes its fine when they hit so hard that vetted units get wrecked in a single shot or seconds.

Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable8 Jan 2022, 14:13 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2022, 09:06 AMVipper Not really. Zis gun is ATG that gets the extra ability to barrage from the start of the game at the cost of grenade (so its cost is also "laughably low"). Brumbar is a heavy assault gun that it role it to provide support fire and even has to get vet 1 before barrage becomes available which is late in the game. Both abilities are fine and comparing them will is not really helpful in anyway. Funny thing is that you do not seem to complain about the 105mm barrage shemran gets.... Getting the brum to vet 1 is easy. The zis barrage at least cost the same as a nade. Unlike the bb barrage. The brumbar already does a very good job as an assault/breakthrough unit. A abilitie vet or other wise wich has almost double the range and rof of the normal round while retaining its damage profile per round is way over the top. Even more when that unit is also very durable. The range buff should have come with a rof nerf on the barrage imo. Then its still very potent but doesnt outright wipe stuff. The 105 barrage i have not seen used or used my self in quute a while. The reason is pretty clear. Its lackluster to say the least and doctrinal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable8 Jan 2022, 08:27 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2022, 19:59 PMVipper One should simply not compare zis barrage and Brumbar barrage. Apples and oranges... And yet they do the same thing, their use is the excact same. Its more of a red vs green apple thing. The zis is much less mobile and much less durable and does less damage although cheaper to build. The barrage is more expensive. Its barrage was nerfed to allow time to move mg,s etc, it supposidly wiped to much or left the wt with so little hp is was suposedly basicly a wipe. The brum barrage is a garateed wipe on tw in most cases. And it does this from safety with high hp high armour and good mobility. Its cost to use are laughably low. That it requires full tech and the brum is quite a bit more expensive is no valid reason for the b buster barrage to be so cheap and so much stronger compared to simaler/same abilities such as the zis barrage. To put it in your words "its simply badly designed" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable7 Jan 2022, 17:55 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2022, 16:26 PMMMX yeah i'm aware he was talking about the barrage, that's what i was referring to as well. my point is that the interval between the shots of the bunker busting barrage isn't around 2 sec, which would truly be insane, but closer to double that. now don't get me wrong, i think this is still a very strong ability, but the comparison with the pre-nerf zis barrage is pretty far fetched imho. Yeah it probably isent 2 seconds but the fact remain both zis and brum can barrage from either 60 or 50 range. The zis wich imo never reliably wiped team weapons was regarded op and got nerfed. The brumbar bunkerbuster range got a big buff and as it stands wich ever team weapon it shoots at has a very very high chance to get wiped. Its almost a garantee from what i have seen. And it costs almost nothing to fire it if my memory serves me right. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable7 Jan 2022, 16:04 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2022, 15:16 PMMMX a 1.8 s barrage should indeed be considered op... realistically, however, the brummbär fires only about half as fast (~3.5 s between the 1st and 2nd and ~4 s between the 2nd and 3rd shot). still more than enough firepower to catch a single AT gun off-guard, as it better should for the price and timing. The barrage is what he was talking about. The regular shots have decent time between them. Wich is fine for the brums balance. His point that the zis was considered op with its 2 secs intval barrage, wich is a very valid one. The brum barrage is insane compared to the zis one, and i believe cheaper as well. There is nothing you can do once it barrages a team weapon, unlike the zis barrage wich while good wasent a wipe ability. No cost justifies not being able to have a chance at escaping/dodging.

The a move shreck blob with a move kt support and supressing kubel and pre nerf obers was the definition of a broken faction design. I am glad its gone and how okw is now in a much better state.

Thread: Upgunning the soviets - the IS-2 6 Dec 2021, 05:45 AM Imo the damage output isent in line with its cost. Both tigers out dps it quite comfortabely. For some small advatidges over either. Its scatter needs a buff or its damage per shot. In: COH2 Balance

Lol then that svt sounds like a mosin now dont it? The 7th model comes with the same mosin as the cons do. Its not a veteran squad leader. In: Lobby
Thread: Ostheer Accuracy1 Dec 2021, 17:25 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2021, 16:13 PMDonnieChan The PAK vs ZIS Gun argument would be viable if Ostheer had a t70 themself, but we're speaking about asymmetric balance here. And No, the 222 performance/impact/effectiveness is not camparable to t70 The pack vs zis argument is perfectly fine as a argument. The pak can stun while the zis has ai ability. Their primary job remains the excact same regardles. As ost has no t70 or clown car, so what. Sov lack nades and weapon upgrades and heavy armour stock. While ost has better pen and simaler or better rof on all their big guns. So please stop whyning about the 2 to 3 minutes ost is under pressure. In: COH2 Balance
