Thread: Mainline infantry sandbags change19 Feb 2020, 18:31 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2020, 12:28 PMSuperHansFan You have people that complain about blobbing and then they post complaining about infantry that can build cover and effectively use it... I'm sorry but if bags gets removed or "timed" all you'll see is massed blobs roaming the map slamming into each other. Moving it to engies is not the answer because as it stands USF hardly use tank traps for green cover compared to other factions. The only winners of this change will be blobbing USF players that have their infantry balanced around the fact they don't need cover like Tommy, cons, ostruppen or even volks do. How do you really back up your argument? I mean i can say anything unrelated and even picture a doom and what i just did was not even an aswer. There are always bad cases and the worst players often exploit it but by no means those players decide what balance actually is. Sandbags being limited will force a more strategical perspective on the game. If you like to blob like a maniac someone waiting calmly in green cover should rape the crap out of that blob. This change brings another step into a more skill rewarding gameplay. Blobs will always exist and mostly on low skill players or on unbalanced cheese infantry. I will repeat my suggestion, mainlines should not build GREEN cover but dig shallow trenches, that provide light cover. It shouldnt be too hard to code, its just a feature to the map, like a crater but with directional cover. A trench can be or can not be destroyed when trampled (it should be though) and infantry can past on top of it without vaulting. This gives green conver more value In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Salvage19 Feb 2020, 18:07 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2020, 13:29 PMCreativeName i dont know why you quote everything i said when you pretty much ignore everything. most players dont bother with it but some actually repair their tw. As i said, a-attacking is usually safer but there are alot of scenarios where you just cant do that. just the simple example of a mg dying as it leaves a house, you cant always get your at guns in a safe position to destroy it yes, you cant salvage stuff on a contested frontline but on a less contested flank you can, plus your at guns probably wont be on the flank to deny the tw as soon as you decrew it I dont really get the comparison between a-attacking tw and salvaging, okw can choose the appropriate option, other factions cant. all i did was listing advantages from salvaging which i dont think you can deny I am completing the picture you draw. Since its very easy to make a deceptive argument with half the information. Its very cool and dandy to say "salvage is OP" when you picture it like its all advantages when its not, its another option, its a feature. Other factions have those so called features but even when discussed they are not on the focus of a debate. Do weapon racks receive such attention? Do 6 man TW aswell? What about vehicles crews? The game has assimetry and all this unique features become OP when compared to *VOID. Thats my point and you have not addressed it but evaded it. Being said that A attacking is another option to deal with TW, with that regard is comparable, if the player really wants to deny a TW. Buffing A-attack to TW seems more logical than simply remove even more unique stuff, just because someone wants to rant about it. Its not personal, its not about who i quote, its about its argument and the way they address it. Take it with a grain of salt if you wish, because i dont really care when people overreact to my quotes. OKW salvage time to complete is comparable to the time spent with ATG to deal the average damage to deny a TW, with smoke the equation complicates but thats the richness of this game, its not like chess the rules are plain.

Thread: OKW Salvage18 Feb 2020, 21:03 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2020, 18:37 PMCreativeName 1. salvage is available on every single volk, you can salvage tw in a corner of the map where you dont want your at guns 2. volks are more expendable than at guns, its less punishing to lose a volk than a at gun in the process 3. in some (late game) scenarios you dont want to reveal your exact at guns position or you need them available/elsewhere 4. as Latch said, its more reliable. Happens way to often that my tank misses a at gun 3times in a row and the opponent is able to reclaim the at gun On the other hand, at guns/tanks can destroy tw from a save distance and 2 at pieces can it do faster, considering they dont miss Team weapons often receive damage while being crewed, therefore when decrewed they only need a single shot. A attacking is safer because it poses no loses to deny/capture the so called TW TW are also target of mines or ambush HMGs. A attacking from far is simply the brainded counter to this. If a TW is really on a contested frontline its impossible to retrieve/scavenge. A smoke to enable a volk squad to do so is also a smoke to break through, it means also a squad less that will fight. Any sightblocker is useful to reposition active TW. Its not a balance issue, its a player tactical skill issue. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Mainline infantry sandbags change18 Feb 2020, 20:53 PM ^Agreed, Green cover for mainlines is just too good. A yellow cover is more than enough. A pile of dirt is not realistic but a shallow trench can be implemented. Tanks and troops will simply step over it and crush it, like sbags In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Salvage18 Feb 2020, 01:41 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2020, 18:42 PMSkysTheLimit The removing of team weapons just seems cheesy to me. Like it's already an insult enough that a Maxim isn't worth stealing I loled for this. Yeah TW removal is the issue and there is no reason for those to be scavenged. Tank wreks and maybe ATG and similar wreks are the intentioned target. Why not remove the TW from the Scavengable list? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Salvage17 Feb 2020, 16:57 PM Instead of a nerf to salvage, what about reducing tw hp? It will take less time to everyone to deny tw. Right? All the abilities that already kill and destroy team weapons will continue to do so In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Commandos vs 222´s17 Feb 2020, 11:50 AM Because I made this thread for a specific concern that has been already answered and highlighted and because I dislike people that start up fights for no apparent reason, I want to close the thread already. The op was, or at least tried to be, simple and clear, a light vehicle (that is t2 and should be armored) was receiving too much damage frontally, at medium range, from AI specialists. SMG bearing AI specialists. The details were given and as kind as the correct manners were used and I cooperated as much as I could. I think it's easy to spot those who willingly derail conversations because of their personal postures to others and their own bias. There was no room for such people here, specially because this was not an UP/OP thread. Those people acted like trolls for no other reason that their will. Having said that this discussion is ended. Please a mod consider closing it. Further discussions of the topic should be made on different threads. Thanks to those who helped to find the mechanics behind this odd situation and those who answered and stayed on topic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer T4 Non-Combat Grenadier Buff Idea17 Feb 2020, 04:03 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2020, 01:00 AMMazianni Alright. What do you think of the idea, though? +1 to MG42 perspective, buffing its RA its not an ideal solution IMO. +1 about the T4 being lackluster and it need some sort of global buff, wether it be a direct or an indirect one. I came up with the idea of make all new infantry trained come with vet1 already. It could be a further tech only available in HPC. Random wipes can be replaced at the same price but with better performance. And the vet buff is hardly worth being rushed. I dont really like to buff grens reinforce cost / train time / popcap, i simply dislike the disposable aspect it gives to them. In: COH2 Balance
