Thread: For the Love Of God M1 Pack Howitzer 8 Jul 2019, 21:54 PM This might be offtopic but rather interesting too. Look how often SU unit get meganerfed for being overperfoming even when their original design was to snowball and force drastic changes (demos, B4, M42, Quads, maxims and conscripts) and how much they need and get overall versatility (cons buff, svts drop, m42 buff, paras, t34 ai buff) and now look how USF with their new tech rework has all the versatility it needed but their playerbase resist to accept adjusting nerfs (M36,scots,pakhowie,mainline inf) like it was unfair. In other words there is a subtle balance between a faction versatility and raw impact and its not im against USF im against unbalance, same units openings and exploits. USF has plenty of units in its rooster, let the balance team give a place for each one In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For the Love Of God M1 Pack Howitzer 8 Jul 2019, 21:46 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2019, 20:35 PMMr.Flush If pineapple grenades had no man power cost then the mortar would be a good investment. You need grenades with mortar smoke to clear building or mgs. The usf mortar is seen as a bad investment, and if you force usf choose between a crappy mortar and a nerfed pak Howie there will be very few usf mains in 2's and up. If the world was pink and the game was balanced, this whole section of the forums wouldnt exist neither. Please use a logic argument to justify your plain oppinions. Mortars get the job done, they are antisynergic for USF early rush but they do their job for their current price. Pinaples are a cheap way to deal damage to garrisons but mortars simply deny anything garrison able to the enemy. Please do not use expressions like ´crappy mortar´ because you dont get the best of them. A nerfed pak howie is what should have been as soon as USF got a tech rework. But the kid now likes its new toy and it has to move on, wether it cries or not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For the Love Of God M1 Pack Howitzer 8 Jul 2019, 21:42 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2019, 20:53 PMSkysTheLimit What does any of that post have to do with what you quoted from me? Extent of my argument: If we are nerfing the pak howy further, give it 6 men back. Having such an expensive team weapon get de-crewed so easily seems like a bad way to balance it. Weakening (not removing IMO) auto-fire makes a lot more sense. I am not opposed to pak howy nerfs so idk why you're talking to me about "justifying its current performance. I am only opposed to the route they took in nerfing it before; no one asked for the crew size to be tweaked, they just dropped that change in out of nowhere The quote on your post was answered on the first paragraph, i do not need to do a double post to let people know when i stopped answering a quote. I dont think pak howies are ´easlily´ decrewed if not by a flanking attack (a natural counter) or a wstuka rocket (another natural counter), other than those pak howies can endure as much as they dish out damage, in the back lines. It is not wether they are useful by themselves, because they are not, but as a attack support weapon a pak howie easily can focus damage with mainline units and the result of that is as i said, overperforming. To remove auto attack is to stop this from being a braindead unit to harrass enemy lines withouth risk when USF goes turtle style Maybe it was not you who justified the lack of rocket arty on usf but im pretty sure other people did.

Thread: M42 light AT gun canister shot, maybe over nerfed?8 Jul 2019, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2019, 20:05 PMCrecer13 Yes, it is so fine that before the appearance of the canister shot, no one used the M-42 this unit was buried and forgotten. And overnerf this ability again killed a unit. Let's not build an illusion here and just remove the M-42 from all the commanders and replace it with more useful abilities. Totally off topic, but if M42 is removed from SU it can be implemented to OKW to rework/remove cheeseketen In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For the Love Of God M1 Pack Howitzer 8 Jul 2019, 20:11 PM USF mortar can be terrible but it gives garrison dislodge and early smokes. More than worth its price. You just cant compare the killing potential of a T0 mortar to a pak howie tho. Dont forget that USF mortars are par on OST ones too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Machine Guns8 Jul 2019, 20:09 PM I agree with thedarkarmadillo, but truth be told, Mg42 makes suppression so easy that skill or luck requirements are almost non existant. Maxims do require a better placing and strategic thinking, as i tried to show, maxims do very well when garrisoned, because they move quicker and their durability coupled with the heavy cover does wonders. If only soviets could have a cheaper bunker building, or a MG nest to couple with maxims they could do what they are intended without too much sacrifice. I have to point a suppression buff to maxims is worth trying since nowdays the game has got a lot more mobile, infantry squads have received lots of buffs to enable them push enemy lines, maxims have been left behind because other SU units being able to carry their games.

Thread: Mediums to panther/tank destroyer interactions 8 Jul 2019, 19:39 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2019, 09:22 AMKatitof Pershing has speed and the best cannon. Somehow I can't imagine cheaper tiger with even better cannon that suddenly has permanent blitz at the cost of whooping 80 health. But you forgot the biggest cost difference: Faction. One comes with a full offense faction and the other with a all around, pseudo defensive one. Otherwise why dont we play C&C and capture each others war factory, to be able to build mammoth tanks and stealth tanks? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M42 light AT gun canister shot, maybe over nerfed?8 Jul 2019, 19:34 PM Can we ask to buff the canister and make it a single shot? Like the greyhound one? That coupled with some range increase and camo would be more than ideal In: COH2 Balance

Excuse me? Would you like a trip to the uninstall button then? No one is forcing you to play or be disrespectul to free working developers. I would like you to experience that feeling before spitting such blasphemy. You are always free to disagree but not to attack freely at others work and dignity. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For the Love Of God M1 Pack Howitzer 8 Jul 2019, 19:25 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2019, 16:44 PMSkysTheLimit And as I've pointed out to you, this thread is about nerfing the Pak howy further beyond that change. Nobody has said the same for the Leig, so that's completely irrelevant to my point What is the sole prupose of pak howie to you? USF has already T0 mortars to give "cheaper" (by your own words) and more versatile support to infantry. Pak howie is an ez long range infantry killer. Nerfing it because its overperforming at killing is accurate. As long as you can hold the line with USF and a pak howie you can bleed enemies. It does not require fuel and comes way early when infantry fights are fundamental. The USF tech rework enabled USF to be versatile and deadly because of non conventional tools. I wouldnt predict how much pak howie is going to be nerfed, i woulnt predict the game will get worse because of that. I want to see a great game with diverse units and difficulty. To remove pak howie auto fire will consolidate it as a premium late indirect support weapon. Maybe adding another ability and reducing its smoke timing will help it to become a true support unit, as it should be. Either that or removing T0 mortars for USF, making MortarHT stock and pak howie doctrinal. The fact that usf "doesnt have rocket arty" argument is being abused to justify overperforming indirect fire units (scotts,pak howie) is worrying. USF tends to have a couple of support weapon options to choose to adapt offensively. Dont believe me? suppression (.50 cal or aaht) medium tanks (sherman, 76, e8, m10), indirect fire (mortar, pak howie, scott, calliope) early lvs and tanks (stuart,greyhound), call in openings (on top of one of the best mainlines inf) (ass engies, pathfinders) USF rooster is numerous for a reason and that reason is to adapt the offense, not to abuse the OP unit in each meta. People comparing pak howie to pwerfer only confirms tha pak howies are op, because they come earlier, no fuel, no micro required. To compare pak howie to howitzers make it worse, since they do cost fuel too and are doctrinal. In: COH2 Balance
