Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart24 Dec 2018, 08:18 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 08:09 AMJae For Jett As opposed to which other balanced light vehicle which isnt shut down by an AT gun? Anyway, it can usually force squads them off in a timely enough manner if theyre forced to cap. Flak HT, Luchs, T-70, Puma, FHT, AEC - they all afraid AT guns, but at LV-period of a game, there is usually only 1 ATG present, so if u stumble upon ATG u can try to make advantage elsewhere. Flak HT, Luchs, T-70 can avoid ATG and wreck infantry on other flanks. Puma and AEC are anti-vehicle purposed. Puma has large sight and range, AEC has smoke. Plus as i recall puma and AEC are faster than stuart, which allows them to dive. Flame HT can melt ATG crews, and it doesn't need to stay in place. But with stuart - there is little u can do if enemy covers LVs - u cannot wipe ATG squad fast. It is possible yes, but it takes time, which often u don't have. U also cannot increase pressure on other flanks - stuart is unreliable vs infantry - misses a lot. Maybe increasing it's MG potency will help somehow? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart24 Dec 2018, 07:45 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 07:17 AMJae For Jett Ive actually believed the stuart is actually disliked because of how general it is. Its moderate anti infantry (it will force off capping units; yes, this does take a fair while). Its moderate anti tank that keeps anything less than a puma from doing what it wants to do. Its moderate utility, with its engine and stun shot. With veterancy, its scouting as well. It surely does take the fair while - so fair while that capping units finish capping and the enemy AT has a lot of time to come for aid I watched VonIvan vs Prodigy game recently. USF took stuart and lost map control vs Flak HT. The stuart supposed to counter enemy LVs, but having a simple raketen near Flak disabled the stuart completely. If the enemy covers LVs with some rudimentary AT, then your stuart has a very tiny use. I'd say it's "too moderate" if u understand what i mean In: COH2 Balance

Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart24 Dec 2018, 06:04 AM Yes, it can be used vs LVs, but it's very difficult. Relatively low main gun damage means u need 4-5 shots to kill LV, and that takes long. For 222 it's easier to take zooks - maybe u don't kill it, but pretty well neutralize. For luchs - the same. The only thing that can't be cuntered with zooks IMO is Flak HT. But u can get captain and get AAHT, or AT gun. My point is, that Stuart has too narrow role, not worth of it cost - it's unreliable vs infantry, unreliable vs LVs, almost useless VS mediums. And i think now it's better take ATg and AAHT - reliable AT and reliable AI, then gamble with stuart In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart24 Dec 2018, 05:31 AM Seriously. I've tried to figure out how to use it effectively, but i don't get it. Stuart's anti-vehicle capability is limited - not so high ROF and quite slow speed. VS mediums it can only use abilities like shellshock, but is useless otherwise. VS infantry it's unreliable and misses a lot. In my point of view, better take 2-3 zooks or AAHT. So, am i playing it wrong? How should I use stuart so it'll be worth the cost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Have Axis blobs become worse?21 Dec 2018, 08:06 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2018, 18:57 PMmurky depths So it has to be a per model basis. Well, good to know I guess. Either way my resolution is to adapt. I am not fond of demanding the game change when things don't work my way. I disagree. The game doesn't work it's own way in this point. The in-game HMG description says "requires proper positioning. effective at dealing with massed infantry". Massed infantry = blobs, right? So ANY HMG should be able to deal with blob. If i need 2-3 maxims to stop OKW blob, i'd say it's not effective. And the numbers show that MG42 at least 2 timer more suppressing than maxim. Maxim may have more DPS, larger squad, faster set-up and pack-up time, but it is ineffective at dealing with massed infantry. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Im gonna hit you guys with an opinion21 Dec 2018, 07:47 AM I have a way to overcome "unfair balance" when i start to lose continiously to OST for example and have thoughts like "oh gosh they're so OP" i start playing OST. If it's OP so i'll be winning and get my rank up easily, right? When some faction gets OP just play it and climb to top ranks, right?! But that doesn'w work in fact. When i think OST is OP and i start playing them that's never a winning spree))) About auto-sport comparison. I think pro drivers are good at testing, and telling how well they feel the car is performing, but that's the engineers who make changes they decide if something needs to be adjusted or not.

Thread: Im gonna hit you guys with an opinion21 Dec 2018, 07:30 AM I'd say that COH2 will never be balanced, not because it's a bad game, no. Just because it's never meant to be that way. It has too many RNG elements to be fair. As i know balancing in games takes entire dev teams and days of testing, calculations and modeling. I appreciate what guys are trying to do here, but that's not nearly enough. In my opinion balance is much more complicated thing than "X is stronger than Y, so nerf X". It requires objectiveness, and developer-level understanding of game mechanics. So, i think COH2 will always be unbalanced, but that's nobody's fault, it's just the way this game was designed In: Lobby
Thread: can we now fix soviet T2 please?20 Dec 2018, 13:25 PM The maxim doesn't need DPS buff, and 0.0001 Sup buff will change nothing. Maybe increasing sup by 0.001 to direct and AOE sup will do In: COH2 Balance
