Thread: Tank Point Blank26 Aug 2019, 18:48 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2019, 16:57 PMTobis y tho What problem are you solving, everyone goes for medium tanks anyways. Not in larger game modes where behemoths with high armor/hp render medium tanks unimpressive. This is why teamgame meta is TD spam and panther spam. Flanking is not always possible due to terrain or player density, so this change would actually benefit some frontal engagements with medium tanks if you're willing to risk closing the distance. It's not like mediums will become OP or anything, but at least they might be a bit more useful in some situations. Good example is the Lienne Forest. Panther is dominant in the forest part of the map as TDs can't use their range advantage there. AT guns are pretty bad to use in locations with bunch of sight blockers too. Mediums just don't cut it there. There are a few problematic locations on several maps for 2v2+. It's not a big problem, but the idea of vehicle point blank addresses it quite well in my opinion.

Thread: Wehrmacht September patch discussion26 Aug 2019, 13:46 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2019, 13:24 PMLeo251 IMO one of the biggest problems in OST late game is the lack of TDs. Only Panthers can penetrate Heavys. But Panther ROF and DPS are horrible to be a TD. This is why you only see Panthers in 4v4s. When the game came out back in 2013, the only 2 Heavys were IS2 and ISU152. There were no need of a dedicated TD in the axis roster. Now in 2019 you have to deal with KV2, KV1, Churchils (and variants), Pershing, IS2 and ISU152. My suggestion is: make stug3 similar to SU85 in terms of DPS, RANGE, PEN and ROF, and increase FU cost of course. OST already has all the tools in the game. If you feel an urge to have a long range TD get an elefant. Jaeger Armor is currently top 2v2+ doctrine for OST. Other factions lack more basic tools like snipers or non-doc rocket arty. Stug should not be buffed over what it currently is. Also pershing dies from a wet fart In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rear Echelon, to be more supportive and viable ?26 Aug 2019, 08:06 AM Why fix something that isn't broken? RETs are not a great fighting squad, but most engineers aren't either. As far as I remember their reinforcement cost is at 25 (Volk level) so maybe that could be brought down to 22 or their sight range increased to pioneer level. I don't think they need anything more than that. I like giving sweeper and zooks to my echelons so they support my infantry with light AT, they become somewhat useful then. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Cons svt vs ppsh25 Aug 2019, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2019, 20:51 PMMr. Someguy Don't Conscripts only get 2 PPSh vs 6 SVT's though? That would put the SVT firmly in the lead even for close range DPS, let alone long range DPS where the PPSh is actually a downgrade. Afaik it's 3 PPSh + 3 mosins vs 4 SVT + 2 mosins In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Point Blank25 Aug 2019, 20:50 PM Hello, I felt like bumping this topic because vehicle point blank is an idea worth giving a try. Is it possible to add it to the September patch preview mod for testing? Did I miss balance team feedback on this idea? In: COH2 Balance
