Thread: Raketens should lose their received accuracy bonus24 May 2020, 00:02 AM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2020, 19:37 PMT.R. Stormjäger I don't wanna talk about Poltawa. Delete it. Poltava, Road to Kharkov, Rails and Metal, etc. I agree on the issue with Shadowlink... and telling someone to counter ATG with a medium tank is... Calliopes also have bad veterancy and take long to vet too and have long cooldown because of that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostruppen cover mechanic is horrible design22 May 2020, 18:01 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2020, 17:38 PMachpawel Generally unit descriptions could be updated as I feel that it would help the game even more than patches. I agree, but the problem is most likely the volume of translation that needs to be done for different languages. In: COH2 Balance

If you want a unit which is better as an assault unit or on the move, you use G43 Grens, 5man Grens, Assault Grenadiers or PG. It has nothing to do with assault or moving, it has everything to do with cover making them the only infantry that doesn't exist until they touch a bush. I think it could be toned down.

Thread: Ostruppen cover mechanic is horrible design22 May 2020, 01:45 AM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2020, 01:28 AMdistrofio I disagree. The fact that ostruppen are ment to be bad must be respected. I understand that the on/off design due the cover bonus nature of ostruppen is "weird" but its a solid mechanic. You dont see ostruppen blobs A-moving and that is cool for me. It is the only unit in the game with this level of unintuitive bonus. They virtually don't exist outside of cover. What I propose is nothing that would let them A-move blob, it's just something that doesn't make them awkward to use. I'm sure 90% of casual players don't even know how ostruppen work because of how weird their design is and they use them wrong and it's not their fault. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostruppen cover mechanic is horrible design22 May 2020, 01:06 AM Afaik Ostruppen get some insane accuracy bonus in cover, which makes them ok to use in cover, however their out of cover performance is beyond horrible. I think that this is a terrible design. I think they should be reworked so that their out of cover performance is still bad but acceptable and the cover bonus only gives them enough boost that they perform about as well as now. This would make them less of an ON/OFF type of unit. Increase base stat, lower bonus imho. What are your thoughts? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf/remove sandbags from mainlines16 May 2020, 15:16 PM No because making sandbags building less convenient = less sandbags = more run&gun blobs. If anything, trenches are OP and should take longer to build or be only buildable by engineer unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ultimate Team Tournament: Volume 214 May 2020, 21:54 PM Why exactly is "double faction" team not allowed? Is it for diversity? I think it should be allowed for axis at least, especially if we want to draw any conclusions about faction performance in hands of pro players in 2v2. It would also be refreshing to see some 2xOst or 2xOKW and not OKW+Ost every game throughout the entire tourney. Also I think that it would be better if rails and metal (which is pretty narrow = bad map) was replaced by fields of winnekendonk, at least that map is very interesting with bunch of cut offs and nonlinear play. On rails it will be just ISU/JT/Ele every single match. Crossing in the woods is meh too, it's just too small for 4 players, even after rework that hardly changed anything. It's still about rocket arty to enemy base without even having to leave your own base sector. Elst and Eindhoven are really good maps though! In: News
Thread: Poll: Factions Polishness (kind of)13 May 2020, 21:14 PM Jump back to quoted post13 May 2020, 00:16 AMdistrofio Next step bois. @Everyone in the whole world: In your opinion. What is the weirdest mechanic currently ingame that might not be part of the faction design? Maybe it wont/cant be fixed but still, post it here. Suppression, everything about how it interacts with one model sticking out of green cover, though you can't sort of see it. It's related also to the weird controls of having little control how exactly your squad will hug the cover. Sometimes it's easy to put 6 men even behind standard sandbags and other time your 4 men decide to stick to a side of the sandbag pushing one guy outside. Also proximity suppression, when you fire at the infantry squad behind cover they don't care, when you fire next to them, at someone else, they hit the ground immediately... /thread P.S. also all related to suppression and MG bs like deathloops and domino-gunner sniping before retreat, also 120 degree cone of fire when half the teamgame maps are already too narrow is bs too. P.S.S. New meta of reinforcement halftrack resurrection blob of max DPS at all times. Imho it should take longer to reinforce units when outside of base. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Congratulations balance team10 May 2020, 15:51 PM Jump back to quoted post10 May 2020, 15:38 PMKoRneY And how long does it take to get one? I'm not saying there needs to be one, I just wish there was one. ISG is much better than a mortar, if there was a mortar, nobody would build it anyway just because of ISG existance in the same faction. In: Lobby
Thread: Congratulations balance team10 May 2020, 12:42 PM Jump back to quoted post10 May 2020, 10:20 AMblvckdream I am not. There are not enough OKW crybabies around to make the balance team consider buffing OKW. OKW is IMO the worst faction now and I am glad everytime I play against them because of how predictable and limited they are. OKW has the worst teching by far. Volks aren't good enough anymore to make OKW snowball with a strong early game after the Conscript buffs, Riflemen buffs and Infantry Section buffs. They should just go back to 250 MP. 260MP for a unit that crappy is just bs. They outright lose every engagement after the early game and the non-fuel based support they get is horrible. OKW was never good in late game anyway (outside Tiger) and always relied on snowballing to compensate but now they can't do that and struggle really hard in general. (Speaking about 2v2 only) That's just wrong. OKW has every tool in the game except for Sniper (JLI come close), OKW also has so many good doctrines that it's hard to choose what to play. In: Lobby
