Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?2 Aug 2019, 11:39 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2019, 09:33 AMhoneymonstis Making a faction rely on call in inf to have functional mainline inf is bad design in my opinion. It renders many of all sov commanders useless. Also cons are not so cheap to reinforce. I agree with the last point, but faction designs are heavily discussed constantly with no productive results. I disagree about relying on call-in infantry being bad design, it could have been badly implemented but adds risks/rewards and originality. So volks and cons have the same effective reinforce cost but volks is a superior unit that can perform early, mid and late game. Gets utility through natural tech progression and have good non-doc weapon upgrade. Able to reach vet 5 on top of this. I agree that the 7 man thing is actual good for lategame utility and makes merging and zerg rush for snares less risky. Volks vs cons is an endless debate with more argument casualties than ww1+ww2 combined. I would suggest you not to continue on that road. Not because i like bully volks, but because their differences are deeply rooted in the factions design, available units to support and overall endgame tactics. Also cons are not that bad in this meta, they are not for the newest players though, since they will not win engagements 1v1, but they can win most fights with tactics and some mindgames. I wonder if there is a possible way to make cons cheaper to reinforce until T3... to allow some riskier plays using cons. You cant also spam cons if the game has only 5-8 mins and MGs clearly dominate that time frame too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson needs some more buffs2 Aug 2019, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2019, 11:13 AMEsxile Same for the panther, tiger, king tiger, churchill etc... even the OKW Pz4 could be included into this list. Yeap, that's not a biased comment at all... People are simply focusing too much on the Jackson in a vacuum and don't want to look a the faction as a whole. The Jackson is the only mobile dedicated AT unit USF have and *this is the root issue of what the Jackson is today. Adding that the second AT unit USF have is locked behind a optional tech make the USF faction overly depending on Jackson to be its bread and butter for AT.* Then after the nerf, USF will have 0 (Zero) "mobile dedicated AT unit" because it proved to be unbalanced and people didnt want to let a slight nerf to adjust it. (I sincerely wont miss him) You can always buff other AT options after nerfing the big boy In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson needs some more buffs2 Aug 2019, 11:22 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2019, 09:13 AMSeductiveCardbordBox The vulnerable to rushes part is purely for fixed casemate TDs like the SU85 and JgPz IV and StuG. When was the last time you played against a half brained axis player? If they are able to get two Pz4s they'll rush your jackson into the depths of your base and further to trade 1 for 1 at best. If Pz4 could float they keep going to america and to the factory the jacksons came from In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson needs some more buffs2 Aug 2019, 02:59 AM Limit jacksons to 1 per player, like KT, adjust cost if necessary... Voila! Problemo resuelto! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson needs some more buffs1 Aug 2019, 02:33 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2019, 21:27 PMSkysTheLimit The messenger might be making the case the wrong way, but the jackson is still really freaking good Fuel cost should be increased by 10-15 Mediums used to be able to kill it reliably if they snuck up on it. Now the jackson can usually survive long enough to escape range, and it shoots faster/misses less often than it used to so it can turn the tide on chasing mediums more easily The said 'nerf' of 10-15 FU can damage Jacksons as much as a stick would do to a real tank. Its not proportional to either its intended performance or their counterparts. If jackson can secure so reliably 1v1s against all but the heaviest tank destroyers (Jgdtgr or Elephant) it could be nerfed a little harder in the fuel cost. Its reliable and complementary to USF core army, there are cheaper doctrinal alternatives if you really want cost efficient units. IMO all axis tanks are too fast, with and without blitz. If jacksons receive any sort of nerf, so should be all axis tank speed... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG34 idea31 Jul 2019, 17:58 PM I would prefer to remove HMG 34 rather than making it a raketen brother In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson needs some more buffs31 Jul 2019, 17:54 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2019, 17:49 PMOutsider_Sidaroth It's cool, I do think the Jackson needs to be more expensive, if it's going to remain this good against anything that isn't Infantry. What if we make jacksons even more expensive and effective against infanrty. Imagine like, 1000MP and 500Fu. That would be a fair price, dont you think? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson needs some more buffs31 Jul 2019, 17:53 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2019, 15:48 PMGarrett as long as axis have trash tanks like P4, Tiger or Panther. OP, i must inform you that P4, Tiger and panther are the benchmark of the game with regards of medium and heavy tanks. They lack nothing. Dont call them trash because you dont get the best of them. When you put aside your personal points of view and unnecessary subjective toxicity, the forums will give you all the feedback to understand how the game is balanced. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak Howitzer needs adjustment31 Jul 2019, 06:54 AM Well at least we both agree on how the situation should be solved and i think thats the important part. Its fair to say that more than a nerf, a rework would be more appealing for all players, those who use the pak howie and those who dont. Maybe if pak howie had a toggle stationary mode to activate its auto attack or simply buffing its barrage can be a good idea. Its fine to disagree about reworking the pak howie, but its also good to open the unit spectrum to new possibilities, maybe enhancing the gameplay of the faction and the game altogheter. (sry if you mentioned something similar to what i just posted, its very late in the morning here and i just need to rest) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British balance - Tommy too strong31 Jul 2019, 06:24 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2019, 04:30 AMNoinga This is all I need from that essay you posted. You see, unlike the UKF the OKW and Wher have more base units available to them. If you use these units tommies will still be a threat but not a horrendous one. Smoke is the brits greatest fear. All of the british main units require the enemy to be far away with the vickers and the tommies so smoke renders that playstlye irrelevant. Then you can push out the mg with grenades and crack open their line. It all comes down to who plays better. If you ram your head into UKF while they are sitting back behind sandbags of course you lose. All you need to do is close the distance, that being with smoke cover or just a flank. This is just another case of players not adjusting tactics and getting their asses handed to them as a result. yet in this case this player felt the need to make another one of the infamous "It beat me its op" posts. Wait, are you really saying that a single, free of cost, non damaging, tactical smoke is able to defeat the whole UKF faction? For real? why are we not abusing this? Also if we separate each argument you described: A1: All other factions beside UKF have more than 1 (stock) mainline inf... A2: If the other player plays better UKF will loose (? A3: This is another case of player not being able to outplay IS What kind of logic is that? What are you even trying to prove? If UKF has only 1 infantry, it does not mean it has to be able to win in early,mid and late game scenarios, otherwise there is a clear difference that shows them as OP, since no other infantry does the same, some perform better early some perform better late, pick one. There is not a single opinion of mine there, only the words you used to describe why tommies are *not OP... In: COH2 Balance
