Thread: Assault Guards M5 HT19 Feb 2020, 16:22 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2020, 13:46 PMVipper Thus the solution is in reducing the power level of T-70... Ive pushed for this before but doing so could open a new tin of worms. T70 is OP but it's also the one unit carrying soviets midgame before they unlock seven man cons and can transition into late game. Especially with luch rush and OKW midgame as strong as it is. Kind of like when Brits got hit with nerfs to AT Tommies, brens and the AEC. Then they had go be given a nondoc snare to be made viable again. Nerfing core units you always have to be careful.

Thread: Assault Guards M5 HT19 Feb 2020, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2020, 12:43 PMLago Timing. The USF meat chopper costs 240 MP in a faction that usually pays about 350 for an AAHT. It's also available early regardless of your tech path. The Soviet M5 call-in hits at CP3, which is much earlier than its usual T3 timing. Don't underestimate its shock value, especially against Ostheer. The UKF meat chopper arrives at CP2. With the changes to Assault Sections, it may well be outright overpowered now. Like I said these are the best of the bunch. But they are still underutilised. In the case of the USF AAHT it can fight back against a luch, much more useful than the quad. Soviet players already have the OP T70 that remains king of light vehicles, swapping it for a slightly earlier quad is just shooting yourself in the foot. Especially as MG units don't scale as well as cannons do as infantry unlocks b Better RA bonuses. For example place a vet obers squad in range of a vet t70 and vet quad. Light tanks will wipe them in no time because they ignore RA unlike the quads. Late game a quad might as well be shooting rubber bullets In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF doesn't need any more buffs this patch.19 Feb 2020, 12:47 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2020, 10:38 AMT.R. Stormjäger You mean charge 4man Sections behind sandbags with Spios in the first engagement and get wiped? Yes I remember that beautiful balance. Wish I saved some videos of how insanely broken sections were. Only thing funnier than how broken they were is how utterly in denial every ukf player is about them. It is a buff. Makes it 50mp cheaper to get grenades. Don‘t get me wrong, I love the change, but calling it not a buff is wrong. maybe you have a short memory because the first three or four months of UKF release was just four man sections being cheesed by old Wehr machine gun sniper. They had some OP endgame abilities, late game RE spam and tanks but your average 1vs1 never lasted that long. OKW and USF had the most OP release, old USF AAHT and bulletproof volk squads ftw In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mainline infantry sandbags change19 Feb 2020, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2020, 23:55 PMVipper And there is little reason for IS to be able to built heavy cover in first place. Part of the reason why IS are hard to balance is that every engagement vs IS was in a crucial area of the map vs heavy after which IS could simply heal up again. Without sandbags available to them they would have to use the cover available in the map as other mainline infatry. It's nice to see you changed your outlook and since the old Tommy pyro thread. So now I take it you agree with me that most players will keep med upgrades? And not every player will spam pyro like the doomsayers predicted. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mainline infantry sandbags change19 Feb 2020, 12:28 PM You have people that complain about blobbing and then they post complaining about infantry that can build cover and effectively use it... I'm sorry but if bags gets removed or "timed" all you'll see is massed blobs roaming the map slamming into each other. Moving it to engies is not the answer because as it stands USF hardly use tank traps for green cover compared to other factions. The only winners of this change will be blobbing USF players that have their infantry balanced around the fact they don't need cover like Tommy, cons, ostruppen or even volks do. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Assault Guards M5 HT19 Feb 2020, 12:15 PM There aren't really any half track call ins that are really worth the slot You've got maybe the UKF and USF for the meatchopper, but it's no luch or T70. Then you've got the ost 250, all these are OK. Then you've got stuff like the UKF resupply half-track that nobody uses because you have to research bren tech before it can drop piats or lmgs defeating the purpose. And also stuff like the guards half-track that is pointless when soviets already have non doc access to the same half-track. Tacking it on just defeats the purpose of calling in cqb squads on usually tiny maps where mobile reinforcing is kind of pointless. It would be nice to see a rework of half-tracks so they are made more viable. At the moment they are kind of ignored and unwanted in favor of light tanks. Maybe if they had some sort of timed AP ability for the MGs on front so they're not dead weight as soon as a light tank shows up, but this ability would be lost if upgrading to flamer or quad.

Thread: Relief Infantry need rework？19 Feb 2020, 06:34 AM Build a new 5 man conscript like unit out of mixed gren and volk models and call it "volksturm". Mirror the ability with the Soviet one. Possibly give access to a weaker MG34 (or captured DP34 or SVT) at T4. A random selection of weaponry like the old Soviet irregulars would certainly also be interesting. Fixed and now the ability has some character. I don't think anyone would disagree the hordes of ostruppen in coh2 are rather unrealistic, they were few in number and saw little front line service in reality compared to the more common volksturm by latewar.

Thread: Stupa (Brummbar poll) 19 Feb 2020, 03:50 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2020, 03:42 AMNorthFireZ yes, ost repair is pretty weak. Difference with the churchill is that the churhill has higher healthpool and has access to doctrinal crew repair abilities. 5 man Sappers also repair faster than Minesweeper Pios. I didn't make an argument about what the Stupa is. I didn't even say it was weak. Rather I asked what the percieved notion is and how you would improve it since the balance team feels the unit is weak and have now chosen to buff it. I'd like the range to stay where it is, but I also would like the unit to be more reliable due to lack of turret. Let's not go down the doctrinal rabbit hole because then you have stuff like Ost pixie dust on every vehicle adding to survivability. I think brum is in a weird spot because it still has vet focused around short range (armor buff) and also simultaneously bunker buster that lets it clear units at range. If you ask me one or the other could get removed, adjust the vehicle into a specialist for either role with focused buffs. Issue with the old brum was just destroying everything at range and then even if you closed with something like an upgunned Sherman he would be bouncing all day with vet 2 armor. The very definition of frustrating gameplay. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Feedback for winter preview19 Feb 2020, 03:17 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2020, 17:54 PMVipper No they are not. Compare their penetration and you will see why. One can simply upgrade his Ro.E to heavy sapper to repair ones Churchill. Compare Churchill armor with KT or JT and you will see why FF has extra pen. I don't think you can crawl out of this one when in old Churchill threads you were calling for nerfs to "non doc heavies" like Churchill. You have been drinking the imperial dane coolaid if you think JP doesn't counter churchill, AVRE or croc as well as FF counters KT. Jagdpanzer actually kills a Churchill faster, go test it.

Thread: Stupa (Brummbar poll) 19 Feb 2020, 03:09 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2020, 23:15 PMNorthFireZ However, the range on this thing just puts it at a situation where it's constantly being hit and forced to repair. How is this any different from the Churchill? You could make an argument ost repair speeds are weak but they recently got a buff in this area with minesweeper package. If it's going to be a high armor unit it should be balanced around short range engagements. Otherwise you have a situation where it can barrage safely from range but even when allied get desperate and push with mediums or premium meds they will be bouncing (no TDs can not dive high armour units in this situation and this will be a problem) In: COH2 Balance
