Thread: Cromwell versus Sherman28 Jan 2019, 14:12 PM You forgot crew self repair for the Sherman, that and HE shells carry the tank allowing for good wipe potential. Cromwell has good vet but could use some extra AI out the gate and a fuel increase. This would time it arriving a bit later. I think the cost reduction after the nerfs were worth trying, but with other nerfs to British armour their tank roster apart from the Churchill varients is very anaemic. As such I don't think the Cromwell really suits it's current place. I would actually be in favour of USF style redesign with British late tier tech. Possibly make the Hammer/anvil choice one that can be picked earlier on, but lock Churchill and a redesigned comet in wehr style tier 4. Possibly experiment with changing the anvil and hammer abilities too because Anvil gets picked 95% of the time. (Oh and a mobile mortar and removal of emplaments please) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW vs UKF is completely broken.27 Jan 2019, 15:56 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2019, 13:11 PMLago If anything, OKW usually gets cited as being weak to UKF, even before the snares patch. . Considering OKW had something like a 70% win rate Vs ukf in the last couple of tournaments I don't think anyone really claimed that. This was the reasoning for adding the snares for "free", as ukf was even abandoned by pro players such as Hans. Also the reasoning for the USF redesign as they too struggled against OKW without Pershing doctrine. Also the only grenades that can clear buildings are the Molotov or OKW flame nade. With anything else you can just teleport in and out and laugh. So not really a building clearer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.25 Jan 2019, 17:34 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 23:06 PMthedarkarmadillo You are buying a better cromwell, not an alternative panther and not a worse panzer 4. Just like the t34/85 is a better 76mm.compare it to what it's designed to replace not what it's facing as there lies the truest comparison for cost. I think here lies the problem though, it's a more armoured Cromwell with worse vet and costs an arm and a leg in both price, popcap and tech. You have a few useful abilities but they have all seen nerfs or are still bugged (WP). It's simply not worth the cost and scales terribly which is why pro players like Hans just build two Cromwells. If you stall you can bully a p4 with it but by the time you stall for a comet you will have zero map control and he will have a command panther or panther next to his P4 anyway. Meanwhile with the T-34/85 it costs what a meagre 140f? No hammer unlock and often comes bundled with Mark target like guards motor. As a tank the cost to performance ratio is far superior. It's gets reload buffs through vet too In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.25 Jan 2019, 17:26 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 22:08 PMSander93 I'd opt to turn it into a Panther-like vehicle. Nerf main gun AI into non-existance (WP shell ability remains), buff the gun to Panther levels penetration (~260/240/220) and buff the health to 960. This would give people a solid choice: go defensive with the Fireflies (/Churchills) or go more offensive orientated with Comets for AT. I think it would have a distinct enough role over the Firefly, just like the Panther has a distinct enough role over the Jagdpanzer IV. I like this idea, allies could use a tool like this. Of course if it's priced accordingly In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Churchill tank is the most OP unit ingame25 Jan 2019, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2019, 14:20 PMthekingsown10 One of the biggest problems with the Churchil is it HAS SMOKE which is totally unacceptable for such a huge armour and hp unit with no unit limit. Force firing at it is touch and go (as it always is) and it basically makes the churchil not have to worry about being destroyed most of the time. Why did you necro this thread? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF needs real buff , MAKE UKF GREAT AGAIN25 Jan 2019, 17:18 PM Vipper I'll think you find arty commander flares are useless because all okw players ranked above 500 will build a Howie next to their base sector behind flak HT. If they are building lefh on frontline sectors they must be a pretty bad newb. Ignore vippers advice and go for balls deep smoke spam with a unit direct and off map call in arty. Hans often does this with a sneaky AEC or Cromwell and it seems to work well. Pretty sure he mentioned this in his training series. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF needs real buff , MAKE UKF GREAT AGAIN25 Jan 2019, 12:42 PM 5 man upgrade is not that powerful with the pop cap changes that basically nerfed it. Now you pay 150mp (+ reinforce cost for five or so extra models) 35f mid game to give an extra man... but the issue is your Tommies are now the same popcap as jaegers. Volks while they will lose a 1vs1 vs bren 5man Tommies will cost less, have less pop cap and have utility of building clearance. Then there's the factor of not having to pay like 450mp 50f (?) in upgrades Not that I'm saying Tommies are bad or volks OP. But five man upgrade could use a fuel decrease by 10. These are the small changes with mobile mortar, comet buff etc that Brits need to make them picked in tournaments. AEC is fine and light vehicle meta is too prominent if anything. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.24 Jan 2019, 21:19 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 21:13 PMStug life no mgs get the moving penalty too, and as i said above the projectile use scatter vs infantry that's why is better on retrating squad I would still argue if you're chasing a sniper or 1 man inf squad with a tank with a Dskh/mg42/50.cal despite the penalty the mg damage will still kill it because of the constant DPS not tied to RNG in the move with a main gun. The comet has some of the worst MG damage of any tank so often when the main gun misses those two or three shots on the chase you're boned. You just frustratingly follow showering him in bullets that might as well be cold tea In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.24 Jan 2019, 21:10 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 20:17 PMStug life ok let's not exaggerate, the comet does a better job on retreating squad actually cause it uses the main cannon that ignore the accuracy penalties, the panther is only comparable to the comet if the squad are in open field It can't hit a barn door on the move now it's been nerfed, but mgs will always do reliable damage. Let's not forget axis pintles were buffed a while back In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brace Idea24 Jan 2019, 21:04 PM Remove brace from the game please Give Brits a mobile mortar, bofor gets changed to a AA unit only buildable once but only costs 1pop cap to deal with planes in teamgame. In: COH2 Balance
