Thread: Why maxim is trash24 Feb 2020, 19:22 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2020, 19:18 PMT.R. Stormjäger It just isn't a good fit. I think it's better to just have the Maxim in T2 and require T3 since it doesn't do anything other than delay the maxim. Yes it makes T2 a bit weaker but you can compensate for that by automatically unlocking Molotovs once T2 is up. I like this. But apart from that, this retoric of constant allied UP threads are gettin really old now. Imagine axis saying. Kubel UP. The logic answer is: You are not supposed to used a kubel wagon like that!

Thread: Why maxim is trash24 Feb 2020, 04:42 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2020, 00:21 AMSkysTheLimit No I didn't. I already IGNORED this exact point There, fixed it, at least its true now. USF is supposed to have the strongest mainline. It does. That mainline is also more expensive than grens, who need a tech building "Ost is supposed to have the strongest MG" is true. It has nothing to do with whether or not it should be the same price as the maxim, which also needs a tech building I cant get even simpler to make you understand. Strong has nothing to do with costly. An expensive unit is less often spammed. A strong unit secures a game style. Strong TW encourages TW strategies. Strong Mainline encourages its use. Its a core unit. Just that. It is not hard to understand it if you actually read and comprehend that this is not Age of Empiers. Tech building is offtopic, it depends on the faction tech tree and limitations. Price does not determine performance. It determines efficiency and abundance. In: Lobby

I said nothing of the sort about force multipliers Literally the 4th post in the thread: Then you agree with force multipliers. Because HMG42 is OST. I said it already. But it seems you missed it.

Thread: General Forums Poll on balance changes part III24 Feb 2020, 00:15 AM Moving acc is double trouble for panthers. It is a sturdy fast tank but its ment to be a defensive tool. Stationary acc > moving acc IMO. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stupa (Brummbar poll) 24 Feb 2020, 00:11 AM Projectile speed means less reaction time, thus more wipes (or potential wipes). More frontal armor means a bigger time and space for a stupa to charge into ATGs and contested frontlines. Better maneuverablility/rotation means better rewards for microing. Better spread will make stupa more consitent, but not able to predict shots. I find this last option better suited since RNG is being cut off slowly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why maxim is trash24 Feb 2020, 00:06 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2020, 00:00 AMSkysTheLimit I never said it shouldn't. It just should cost slightly more than the maxim. 280mp Nope, you just came up with that. You dont agree with the ingame force multipliers, i explained the concept only. It shouldnt be more expensive. In: Lobby
Thread: Why maxim is trash23 Feb 2020, 23:58 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2020, 23:26 PMSkysTheLimit You want me to do math with those numbers you just made up? No thanks. .75 effeciency? 150% effectiveness against infantry? Use actual stats about the game please and actually discuss the topic. You barely even mentioned the maxim in that post You said Maxim was too cheap to deal with pgrens. I gave examples of even more expensive squads that the mg42 can deal with Yes faction quirk is irrelevant because you're still not even responding to my point... The mg42 should be better than the Maxim. It should just cost a little more or the difference in performance shouldn't be this great. That's it That claim does not at all conflict with the idea that Ost is a "team weapons faction". Enjoy your tea I added an example, but those "made up numbers" make more sense than any "maxim trash" sentences. I actually dont know the force multiplier numbers since i am not a dev, but every game and game design has those. The OST being a TW based faction can mean their force multiplier are higher. Thats why a HMG42 can deal with *more expensive squads. (Its their thing) Again simple math. But some other people prefer to remain stupid and scream loud. In: Lobby
Thread: Why maxim is trash23 Feb 2020, 23:22 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2020, 23:16 PMSkysTheLimit It's actually not simple at all, otherwise the Maxim wouldn't have been changed so many times to the point it doesn't even resemble the MG that it was at launch. You can't say something is simple when it's literally been debated since the game was launched by everyone And "faction quirk" is not a valid argument against what I'm saying. I'm not saying the Maxim should even be as good as mg42. It just shouldn't be this bad while costing the same and requiring fuel to unlock. It makes no sense It is SIMPLE, some people like to complicate things. Let me enligten you a bit. (unit type) + MP + Abilities + (Faction quirks) + Time = Cost/Balance ratio Now replace each part with the correct items. -Type is a force multiplier. I.e. HMG has 150% efficiency stopping infantry. -Abilities are all the abilities/upgrades -Faction quirk is a real property (you ignore it in this case because its about OST and you know well OST is teamweapons oriented), can sometimes be positive/null/negative. In the case of SU it could be 6 man crew for TW at the cost of 0.75 efficiency. -Time could be either its rushed time or its average time, those are the limits, it incluse training time of course. That its, now you do the math while i drink my tea. Added. Rude of me to not do it myself. We can discard the time but they can be converted into a hidden MP cost (an opportunity cost) to make the example simple enough A maxim costs in a representative example 100MP (It costs 260 IIRC, i dont memorize sry) HMG type (150%) + 100 MP + Maxims normal fire means no modifier + "Quirks" (75%) + Time (discarded) Result. A maxim will reliably counter (1001.51*.75) = 112 MP It means that at most 112 MP, even being an HMG units have a power ceiling In: Lobby
Thread: Why maxim is trash23 Feb 2020, 23:12 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2020, 23:08 PMSkysTheLimit Now do the mg42 vs guards troops, rangers, Paras And how can we compare the difference in price between stug and heavy tank with the difference in price between Maxim and Pgrens? Those numbers aren't even close Compare first M36 to -instert any vehicle here* Its simple, you take the MP cost and substract them, you could also take the % of one relative to the another. You could do all kind of wonky math to compare two units, even those completely unrelated, its a common thing here. You should know already. Infantry "costs" are two, plain dead simple. Time and MP. Add. As long as the other unit is on the "boom" side of the stick, you can justify the price difference between any two units. Simpol. MG42 has a faction quirk you should take account into aswell.
