Thread: Conscripts idea "Human Wave Tactics"13 May 2019, 20:12 PM I lost the thread at some point, but i want to say only one thing. "Human wave tactics" is a deceptive name. Firstly IRL situations are only used to add flavour, once balance is fine. Secondly, there is no point on making a loosing snowball tactic, since cons being numerous but weak will only lead to XP feed. The only human tactic in CoH2 is blobbing. Human tactics sounds like blobbing with extra steps. Cons squad number superiority is because they can reinforce other squads. Otherwise they are useless in that task. Extra conscript to make pseudo-blobs could be a thing, but the focus must be that one, a single squad blob. It will carry though problems with cover, with weapons equipped, with xp feed and finally with faction design. It breaks more than it fixes, and its not a broken thing the one you fix in the first place Added: The only implementation i see is to allow cons squad increase to 9 man and allow them to exceed that number with merge. But they still have mosins and that is a problem. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?13 May 2019, 20:07 PM Jump back to quoted post13 May 2019, 20:06 PMLago Is it a buff? Faster light vehicles, but lower early game manpower. OKW loses its main strength, and when that inevitably eats into map control, they lose a chunk of that 15 FU acceleration too. The amount of negation some people are offering make it seems like a buff. As i said is a change for good. Im good with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?13 May 2019, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post13 May 2019, 19:11 PMEsxile No my dear friend, you didn't understand me, let me be more clear. I said that the actual fuel configuration is fine, the problem is if you give 20 fuel more to OKW at start. This is were it become a problem since. I think you can read thedarkarmadillo's post who explained it just fine. OKW don't need T1 to get healing, it has been established well enough by the balance team last year so OKW can go T2 first and then T3 without any healing problem, as we can see it almost every day every match since then. Why shouldnt they? Do volks have passive self regen at vet0? I would prefer if people would just say "i dont want to OKW get buffed", at least that is being honest. I would kindly ask you, why there would be 'problems' but do it in a way everyone can understand (im not refering of skill level). IMO its a change, a intermediate one but it would put OKW in line with the rest of the factions. Darkarmadillo got it right about the "luchs rush", its more like a progression, maybe a needed one, but its true that the OKW player isnt sacrificing anything in return. USF playstile is far different from OKW, so please do not compare them. USF has priorities that OKW does not. The manpower/fuel at start can be leveled to allow better game balance. And no, SPios are strong but they are not the best starting unit. If anyone wants to justify a nerf to their economy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?11 May 2019, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2019, 20:35 PMEsxile OP forget that OKW doesn't need to tech grenade, weapon upgrades or med truck. Which are a substantial saving of fuel. At least any USF unit in his list should be taxed with an addition average of 20 fuel per unit. Yes a M20 actually has the same price of a 222 if both players need to build their medic tool first and Stuart equal in fuel price than the Puma. I mean, that something we already see ingame, you never see a Stuart out before a Luch, or that mean no ambulance and no BARs vs healing crate, flamnade and STG upgrade. None of Axis CAN pay fuel to get heals from T0. Only UKF have to upgrade IS using muni only once, but IS are their mainline inf and starting squad. As you know, OST have to build the bunker and OKW has to go T1 or waste muni on those crates. Its not an advantage of axis what you mention but a limitation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?11 May 2019, 18:25 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2019, 18:13 PMLago Is it needed with the mortar changes? USF's got a T0 mortar, OKW has flame nades and UKF has an artillery flare that usually takes the building itself down. Oh i know about them already and i acknowledge about those tools. Since its offtopic im putting my response in spoilers OKW. Thnx, my bad, i keep fast writing and dont check misspelled words In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if OKW had standard starting resources?11 May 2019, 18:05 PM +1 to nondoc flamers. Assimetrical balance is a good thing, but standarization is good too. IMO seems fair to balance the starting resources for every faction, at least that leaves a cleaner perspective to begin discussing about balance. I would consider though only starting resources and not the 'free' squad. Because for UKF and OKW, pios and IS are expensive troops because of their performance and they make bad starting troops. Otherwise OKM could start with kubel and UKF with UC (? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Universal carrier rework thread9 May 2019, 20:51 PM Jump back to quoted post9 May 2019, 18:19 PMSuperHansFan It's not as small as that because it depends on the range and weapon firing, iirc mg42/Kar 98/mp44 etc all have different pen Not true, also numbers say otherwise ... I think deeper changes are needed, first the balance team added in tech restrictions for bren then removed them as people found it UP. Then muni for repair and reverted ... Ever wondered why those changes were done in the first place? Luckilly i know. Reverting changes is bad? Did you want it to stay? ... Now armour nerf which imo makes issue two in the OP worse. The unit would be easier to balance locked in T1 with a decent buff. ... I seriously doubt a dedicated team for modding and patching the current game version of CoH2 would have discarded such an easier solution without seeing some serious drawbacks, i mean, who wants to work a lot for free and take the harderst route, for the love of suffering. ... Another suggestion with the Vickers K is giving it old kubel style suppression cone. I think this could work with a fuel cost on UC and add some diversity to UKF playstyle rather than no brainer "put a bigger gun on top for extra DPS" as we currently have. Kubel cancer was denied for a reason, you want it back but in your favorite faction? Sounds pretty biased to me. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: NEW COMMANDER PREVIEW - 7.0 version9 May 2019, 20:42 PM Jump back to quoted post9 May 2019, 15:02 PMBalanced_Gamer Just give Conscripts an upgrade option "SVT package" providing 2 or 3 of them by default. That will make everyone happy for sure. Its not about "making everyone happy". That only encourages cicle buff and nerfs and people arguing each other here on the forums. Being right has nothing to do about being accepted. Cons becoming the new penals to make them mainline inf is just lazy writing, its a bad design. Cons are the "versatile" option for SU as for penals are the "punch hard" aspect of it. If penals were to change in anything it should be to shorten their lifespan ingame. Not making them more fragile, but to make them scale worse into mid-lategame and make them cheaper too. Then buff cons midgame and scalability to make the player choose, either safe aggressive start or a riskier adaptative early into a stronger lategame. One favours vs OST and the other vs OKM.
