I like the current veterancy pace for most units. The issue is just that a few units are too slow or too fast or don't benefit enough from their veterancy. So I think the better solution is to balance the current system than to redesign it. |
It's not really a question of micro. If your opponent puts as much manpower into obersoldaten as you've put into 5 AT guns, he'll walk right over you and no amount of micro will save you. |
Sounds good, but one stuka and your whole AT infrastructure is kaput. Not only that but obers/LMG Grens can rip apart At guns.
Pretty much. |
oh hey a working replay upload |
In the star crossed cup soviet and german mortars both made a lot of appearances, as well as the heavy mortar and mortar halftrack. I wouldn't say these units are underused at all. |
I think this is an excellent idea. I would call it COH2 Design |
Yes it slows the vehicle and it can't fire without using attack ground. |
oooh, that would be a good one. |
Agree with honeynuts, the popcap on all three is too high given that you are forced to purchase these units to tech. Ideally they would all be zero and the units they unlock would have higher popcaps to compensate. Sadly USF just has to live with this bonus upkeep.
At least with the BAR buff in beta one of them is a viable combat squad again. |
Sierra is absolutely not a troll. Having met the guy in teamspeak and playing a few games with him I can say that with certainty. He really truly believes everything he is saying.
He also told me that he doesn't view game balance discussions as a means to achieve a fair game, but a means to convince the devs to tip the odds in favor of your favorite faction.
A quick look at his player card and steam profile reveals that he's quite experienced with the game (several hundred hours) but not particularly skilled and extremely biased. No surprises there.
So what you end up with are his arguments, many of which are perfectly valid but get undermined by his tone, intent, and outright delusions. Sadly because of this we end up with a lot of equally invalid counter-arguments, most of which are ad hominem.
Arguing with him is therefore a complete and total waste of time. It can't accomplish anything. |
