Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?4 Jul 2018, 12:32 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2018, 12:29 PMKatitof Good weapon is irrelevant if the squad have THE most horrible veterancy in the game and is a 4 men squad going up against factions designed to kill 5-6 man squads. Airlanding officer is beyond terrible combat unit and its abilities are the only reasons why you'd ever consider one. non-doc and effected by 5man upgrade would be interesting to try out Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2018, 12:29 PMVipper Commandos is a far better CQC unit, 5 member and cloak. Which they should be, so if you want the extra punch on a CQB map then you can go a doctrine with commandos. But giving UKF 1 non-doc cqb unit that can actually flank and kill stuff is needed here imo. Brits have not been the same since the bren nerfs and something needs to budge In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?4 Jul 2018, 12:22 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2018, 12:14 PMVipper Air landing officer is not a very good CQC unit its 4 men with no camo. It is however a good support unit. Commando sten DPS is some of the best close range DPS in the game, then you've got gammon bombs. They are great in cqb. Only issue is they are current locked behind a 500mp glider in a doctrine that's been hit with the nerfbat so many times it's mediocre. Which is a shame because the ALO is unique and cool looking unit with unique voicelines, rather than the standard UKF tommy model that gets recycled for Tommy/Tommy AT section/Universal carrier/Emplacement crews you get the picture (it's boring).

Thread: King Tiger balance fix: smoke launchers4 Jul 2018, 12:15 PM KT is one of the most consistent tanks in the game, park it around a VP somewhere and just watch it munch up inf while zooks and med tank rounds ping off. It's incredibly consistent at those two things so there's no issue here for me. The changes I would like to see would be quicker vet, but as a counter balance if one of your trucks is destroyed you can't call it in. If you make a good push to destroy an flak truck on his cutoff I shouldn't have to cope with an Instant call in KT to give him a fightback. The whole idea of setting up trucks on the map should be risk vs reward, KT should be a part of that. In: COH2 Balance

I agree with you, which is why I created the poll in the link. Cheers! https://www.coh2.org/topic/79043/british-snare-problem-and-potential-fixes I hope Relic are paying attention to this that thread, a lot of good discussion that they can take onboard (rather than just taking what Mr Smith says as gospel and leaving brits legless and boring to play even longer.)

Anyway there is an easy fix here and it's simply making the bonus not stack. So not really an argument to why UKF shouldn't be allowed a non-doc CQB unit to help with flanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How viable are Easy 8s?4 Jul 2018, 11:58 AM I really don't understand why E8's were nerfed in DBP, especially when P4 and panther have been buffed so much and t34/85's remain godmode. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: what commanders would you revamp?4 Jul 2018, 11:46 AM With how hard they nerfed the WC51 and removed refit last time im not sure I want to seen another "rework" It seems most the changes only benefited Soviets and Axis, USF and brits need more love this time. Royal arty and tactical support are awful. USF needs another revamp on WC51 commander to reintroduce refit for vehicles. This was like the core part of the doctrine using a jeep early for a kubel/sniper counter then refitting it for some of the cost back before it dies. Right now it's an expensive waste of mp and muni, BUT one idea I have had is on 60muni upgrade of the 50.cal it can suppress. Imagine the old Kubelwagen but doctrinal and arriving slightly later. Now that would be a fun and unique change I would love to see, it would also mix up USF meta where you have a mobile suppression platform that's not the AAHT so could help with Captain strats vs volk blobs.

Thread: GCS2 Citadel faction win rate3 Jul 2018, 23:39 PM VASA has a point earlier about old CAS meta, op T-70 was countered by double pak back then and most players didn't even need vehicles with enough LMG grens and team weapons (yes skill planes added to that but by the time of early t-70 you didn't crutch on them). However I think the 222 and T-70 should be 250mp, they scale so well for 200mp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?3 Jul 2018, 23:30 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2018, 16:20 PMEtherealDragon I suppose a middle ground option would be to add an AT Grenade upgrade to sections that is mutually exclusive with Med Kits and Pyrotechnics Supplies. Tradeoff of on field healing for snares is pretty fair I think. With addition of Forward Assembly Medics a Brit player can choose to focus on AT if they want to. That way AT Sections retain their flavor of having light AT support AND free snare upgrade. Again the idea sounds ok, but having an 40muni upgrade when you already have to shelf healing or pyro is a bit steep. How about they start with Snares upon grenade tech but lose that ability if they use medkits/pyro? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?3 Jul 2018, 23:26 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2018, 16:43 PMVipper Imo tommies should be 4 men squad price of 260. Pyrotechings increasing size to 5 proving 2 scoped Enfields, taking all weapon slot and removing all fring bonuses/penalties of cover. Also replacing their mills bomb with a smoke grenade. They could also provide "victor" barrages for mortars (maybe gain the 1 25p barrages as veterancy bonus). Medic kits could be moved to engineers. Bolster infantry could become allot cheaper and affect only Ro.En and maybe call-in infantry. Heavy sapper could be a dual option either for faster repair or for slower repair but better combat performance. I like the idea of healing being changed to RE and having them pick between heavy repair or healing but I don't like how brits would be forced to pay 40muni for another inf upgrade just to have one unit being able to snare. USF/Ost/OKW don't have to pay any such price. IMO it could be bundled in with grenade tech or make AT tommies non-doc (unrelated but I believe molotovs and AT nade should be combined for Soviets too). easy fix In: COH2 Balance
