Thread: I think Scavenge Doc need rework9 Apr 2019, 08:58 AM Swap the ostwind with a captured Soviet tank, eg t-34/76 or KV2. These were tanks captured and "scavenged" in large numbers by the Wehrmacht. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens7 Apr 2019, 19:49 PM The thing with brens is they require more micro than MG42 or bars. Otherwise you're paying more for less effectiveness If you don't believe me rock up testmod, look at how brens and MG42 fare out of cover, then even in cover double brens only slightly beat MG42 gren DPS wise In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does ost puma require battle phase 2?7 Apr 2019, 19:39 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 17:54 PMSander93 Nah, that'd be weird since no other call-in unit works like that. I think in hindsight the wrong unit was nerfed. The problem of Mobile Defense was that it offered both AT and AI vehicles without having to tech but IMO the Puma wasn't the core of the problem: the Command Panzer IV was. I think the Puma should return to a 5CP call-in and the Command Panzer IV should be put in T3 as a buildable 0CP doctrinal unit. Puma becoming viable again might help Ostheer do a lot better in the current meta. Puma was removed from call in because of "panic puma" cheese. Eg you pull off a good dive to take out a sniper in base with your damaged Stuart or something. Bang he clicks the puma button and it instantly appeared in the base ruining all of the good play with brain-dead panic button. Basically just the threat of mobile defence in an opposition's load out made going anywhere near the base with a LV scary. This is also why M10 was moved to t4 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens7 Apr 2019, 14:02 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 13:44 PMKharn So lets get this straight: British Unlocks for what you describe: Tier Upgrade which requires nobody present at base is... 30 fuel 180 manpower = Tier 1 10 fuel 100 manpower = Grenades 15 fuel 150 manpower = Guns (on any squad not just grenadiers) 35 fuel 150 manpower = 5th man on the squad 45 munitions = 1 bren ( on any squad of your choosing ) I'm going to leave the 5th man out, because that's obviously late tier and Grens don't get access to it. Total cost is 55 fuel and 430 manpower. Now lets look at OST: 10 fuel 80 manpower: Tier 1, you know, so you can build more than a pio or an mg 40 fuel 100 manpower: Tier 2 research 20 fuel 200 manpower: Tier 2 building, plus send that pio home to go make it 60 munitions = 1 LMG on a grenadier only Total cost is 70 fuel and 380 manpower Don't forget both UKF/OST infantry love fighting in long range fights in cover. But IS can build their own cover, OST needs the pio to do that for them. How is it a "total cost" at all if you ignore the most expensive and most commonly picked upgrade (five man). You're just cherry picking to suit your argument at that point. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 11:05 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 09:36 AMButcher It's Ostheer that's underperforming in every stage of the game. Fragile infantry (Grens) that can't compete with BARS and Brens. Lackluster "elite" infantry (PGs) that can't compete with Bars and Brens. Inferior midgame (T70, Stuart, AEC leave you on the back foot). And a lategame that is mediocre at best and absolutely inferior to Brits (Tiger, Ostwind < Churchill, Centaur). Aka no reward for holding out that long. It's characteristic, that Brummbär, Elefant got significant nerfs while multiple Allied lategame units got buffs/ stayed the same. Ost lategame was neutered for no compensation. And before I hear the "l2p" posts, I'm playing this game and it's predecessor for more than a decade now. I know what I'm doing. I will say that you're cherry picking. Only mentioning ostwind-centaur when the p4 is clearly superior to the Cromwell for pittance in fuel. Comet being utterly trash with non existent vet compared to panther. The existence of the pwerfer to wipe support weapon walls when UKF have no non doc indirect fire. Then there's non doc answers to everything early game, sniper/mortar/smoke/flamer pios/elite inf. Basic tools that factions like Brits and USF lack. I don't doubt double bar rifles destroy grens lategame, but ostheer are hardly this little puppy you are making them out to be. Maybe some people need reminding okw had a 80% 1vs1 win ratio vs Brits before they got snares, Ost numbers were somewhere around the 68 mark. (Even Hans abandoned Brits) So I don't see how this one change and some doctrinal tweaks have suddenly made axis useless. The game just needs small adjustments at this point, it's in a much better place balance wise. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 09:32 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 05:40 AMFlyingsmonster Ostheer is not in a good place right now, OKW is fine. Other than that I don't think there's that many major balance issues. Ostheer could use a few buffs here and there, such as Pgrens, Assgrens and Grenadiers. I don't think okw are fine, I'm still placed against overwatch doctrine every other game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kubel needs changes6 Apr 2019, 20:32 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2019, 18:17 PMBalanced_Gamer Are there going to be fixes? Does anyone know? The same time the comet gets a buff called veterency and ostwind can shoot down planes. So not for a while, plenty of units in line and have been in line for years In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens29 Mar 2019, 16:45 PM Put grenade, mg and five man behind a fuel+MP upgrade and why not. Tommies also cost more pop cap 5man, so you would need to up gren pop cost too. Maybe Brits can get a mortar and rocket arty if we are going the clone route. Grens can't just get this stuff for free while being cheaper out the gate. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Elephant and Tiger are useless29 Mar 2019, 16:37 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2019, 15:13 PMExterior Reptile That's not true. T85 has muchanged better aoe than piss cannon called t76. It wipes models with every shot while t76 misses most of ther time. Comet also has better aoe than Cromwell and the while phosphorus rounds fuck with AT guns like does big dog with small. So far I haven't been able to do the same with Cromwell. You're comparing apples to cinnamon. P4 is medium generalist and Tiger is heavy generalist. It is literally supposed to be P4 on steroids (except speed). More comparable would be Sherman to Perching. And as we all know Pershing is miles ahead of the Sherman in every way. The same cannot be said about Tiger. Comet and Cromwell AI are almost identical, but Cromwell RoF is a LOT faster with vet. Cromwell is just a much more reliable tank to kill inf In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British - Lend Lease Assault - Feedback24 Mar 2019, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2019, 14:30 PMthedarkarmadillo Because not having a medium tank or Supression platform is a hell of a lot different than having a mortar and not liking it. Brits are designed to be more static, this commander allows unparalleled mobility for the faction. At most I could see swapping it for the pak howi or dropping the CP requirements (imo if the mortar stays this is necessary) but it shouldn't be a mortar halftrack as that offers far too much extra to the doctrine and puts it in a tier above the others by making the brits too mobile. How exactly is lacking a mortar any different than lacking an MG? This is a key teamweapon every faction has. You could argue the "defensive Brits" design went out the window when trenches were nerfed, Tommies got moving accuracy buff and their in cover RA got stripped. (Or do you prefer static play and emplacements?) I doubt the doctrine will be used personally, tactical support gives better options and a few muni dump abilities that aren't smoke. In: COH2 Balance
