Thread: Tank Crew (USF)11 Mar 2019, 15:52 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2019, 15:07 PMLago Retaining ownership of decrewed vehicles would solve a lot of problems. You can't mess up enemy autofire by decrewing. You can't gift vehicles to your teammates. You can abandon your tank and run away without giving it to the enemy. The M20 Bazooka shenanigans are less dangerous. You can solve the popcap issue by having decrewed vehicles retain their pop cost. I have no idea if it's possible to do though. Makes sense to a point, since not all soldiers in ww2 knew how to drive, and each tank had different controls. To let tank to be stolen would be nice but its a really strange mechanic IMO. WW2 tank steals were often wrecked abandoned tanks or tanks parked that never got crewed because of some raid or assault. They got crewed later by other tanks pilots with time to figure out its controls. This way tanks are always targeted, no matter the crew being present or not, also, not even USF soldiers should crew tanks. You kill 2 stones with 1 bird, nice! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How do people feel about cav rifles?11 Mar 2019, 14:31 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2019, 18:43 PMTobis I find them kind of meh unless you put them in a jeep, where they become super OP. This ^ In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF got too many buffs 11 Mar 2019, 14:27 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2019, 14:17 PMddd USF got changed from smoke&flank type of faction with versatile mainline infantry being the most important part (in theory since riflemen are weak for a long time now) to a faction that relies on strong cqc callin units attacking frontally. Instead of making rifles viable by decreasing their cost and cost of the upgrades we got some okw type units that win fights by frontally charging opponent. In short usf got dumbed down but its not overbuffed. People like you wanted USF to be buffed with OKM abilities or similar, or even better, and now you complaint... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does the Firefly have to suck so much? 11 Mar 2019, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2019, 14:12 PMSeductiveCardbordBox ...but even if we didn't, what's the use of a FF rush? Still too late to counter early LVs. Still way too early to fight heavy tanks. No AI to speak of. As for teamgames when other players do the frontline job and UKF rushes FF to hold midgame. Its a possibility hence the balance. In: COH2 Balance

Any new idea is welcome In: COH2 Gameplay

How cheese is it? There is no downside for cloaking of rekaten so your example is wrong. To dodge a killing blow BY DECREWING (thats the threat topic m8) is CHEESY AF.

Thread: USF got too many buffs 11 Mar 2019, 14:02 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2019, 13:11 PMkingdun3284 Are you joking ? USF is nearly unplayable in team game without infantry company. The time when you having the arguable best team weapon that you claimed, the stuka comes immediately. And I really can't find any OP T0 call in infantry that can actually win an OKW engineer in 1v1 engagement. Are we playing the same game? The game is balanced around 1v1... Edit: and 2v2s...

It is high risk to decrew in front of your enemy, so it is risk and reward and skillful as well since it requires extra micro to decrew. It is CHEESY to decrew in front of an enemy and people dont like that, if you conserve insta decrewing why would raketen cloak cheese be removed then? Decrewing Its no high risk/reward its a unwanted feature of the game. Only to do critical repairs while smoked, but no ones gives that use tho In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New mechanic: Fuel steal11 Mar 2019, 13:53 PM Firstly i will complete this post as long as feedback comes, i want people to give shape the idea. Its a measure to stop people from stockpiling fuel, maybe a way to delay more some factions into getting tanks into the battlefield. I was thinking of RA thief, its a soldier/unit that effectively reaching others players refinery (resource building) it could steal money for the player owning the thief. Same thing of CoH2 could be applied maybe? I mean imagine engineers reaching out enemy fuel caches, with a right click on them instead of attacking those, the engineers would play the sandbag animation and start "stealing fuel" (hahaha). The effects could be pretty simple, fuel income decrease, or pretty much drastic, like negative fuel icome for the player being stolen. You decide, i made my part into bringing this crazy idea already. Donts start flame wars please, if you dont like the idea its ok to say it, i just want opinions and civil discussions, thank you!

Thread: 250 HT For Feuersturm11 Mar 2019, 13:41 PM In the other thread, the OKM retech one, i raised up the idea that T1 brings Logisitics tools and T2 brings Rushing tools (i actually called objective picking tools) but mechanized is still weak to inf snares (even now UKF has snares) and standing ATG. The sweet spot would be to adjust risk/reward balance between going LV heavy or keeping manpower down for OKM, there you balance between T1 and T2. In: COH2 Balance
