Thread: Suggestion: sight options for Ostheer and USF25 Mar 2020, 05:25 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2020, 03:53 AMSuperHansFan Bren carrier actually has very poor LoS, same with AEC. Brits have sniper and pyro Tommy for LoS. AEC has 50 sight. More than sniper and pyro tommies. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: wishlist Last few minor changes before live patch13 Mar 2020, 08:27 AM S-mines build in patches of 2. No one ever wants 4. Signs removed so they're not a gimmick mine that can only be used where no one is looking. Increase cost per patch to 20, remove one mine per patch. Teller damage reduced to 350. Cost reduced to 40.

Thread: Have they considered properly balancing Panzergrenadiers?12 Mar 2020, 11:52 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2020, 02:10 AMCODGUY Some obvious problems with this unit: - too strong for a stock unit: so if you are playing USF they will outpreform any infantry unit you can field except for Paratroopers. They will beat Riflemen, Rangers, Cavalry Riflemen (and their available around the same time as this unit). They're also going to outpreform Conscripts (no surprise here), Penals, and give Shocks a run for their money (although these work as a decent counter if playing Soviets). Brits have now pathetic Infantry Sections so those aren't any kind of threat, and by the time Commandos hit the field they're probably at Vet 3 so they'll overpower them too. Really not much out there will kill them 1v1. - They've got too many abilities: While they're among the best infantry in the game, they also can be equipped with the overkill double Panzerschrek upgrade. The upgrade is only 100 munitions, and before you say "that's the same price as two bazookas or PIATs", just remember panzerschreks can actually kill vehicles unlike those other two poorly preforming AT weapons. This superior AT ability combined with its low cost and more fragile allied vehicles means only two or three upgraded panzergrens will one shot a Sherman or get close. The other problem is they retain much of their AI abilities even after this upgrade. When grouped together they lay waste to tanks and infantry alike. They also still retain their bundle grenade. - They are available too soon: this is a problem with many elite Axis infantry. I do not understand why this community thinks it necessary for Axis elite infantry to always be more assess able and available sooner than their Allied counterparts, especially the western allied factions. Upgrading a Riflemen saqud with two BARs or an Infantry Section with two Brens most certainly will NOT make these into elite infantry units. Bro why don't you just skip the middleman and play vs easy AIs? That's what you'd be doing if anyone listened to your constant histrionic complaints. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter balance mod 2020 V1.311 Mar 2020, 05:25 AM How to fix OST: Gren RA to 1.00 Pio RA 1.05 Pgren RA to .9 call-ins receive RA nerfs along similar lines Damage reduction removed from veterancy Gren far damage increased by 15%, mid by 10%, close by 5% Battlephase 1: gren, pio, and other basic infantries receive 7.5% damage reduction Battlephase 2: All infantries receive 5% damage reduction Battlephase 3: All infantries receive 10% damage reduction The reasoning: Grens really have no favorable match-ups anymore after the rifle and conscript buffs. Previously grens would have a mid-game advantage vs rifles once they had upgrades, but the increased range on rifles has all but nullified any advantage, while making early and late-game fights even more lopsided. Vs conscripts grens would tend to lose map control early game but inflict heavy bleed. Good t-70 play would equalize the manpower losses in the mid-game, and grens would win the late game fights, but are easily overpowered by doctrinal infantry, or resources have to be diverted to dealing with doctrinal tanks. With the 7man upgrade grens can inflict some minor bleed in the early game, but the t-70 and 7man upgrade makes them into a liability for the remainder of the game. I honestly don't like the cap speed buff. It's mostly going to benefit team-games where OST doesn't really need better infantry considering the armor advantage. The 2 manpower at t4 is negligible. Without any major improvement to grens I really don't see them being a meta choice in the next cycle, and any working strategy is going to be a battlephase rush into pgrens. The changes I've purposed will boost gren DPS, especially at long range, giving them an easier job protecting team weapons, while also making the team weapons more important. At 1.00 RA grens will need the MG or green cover positions in the early game to prevent bleed, but will have more damage to fight off flanks. Pgrens would receive a nerf out of the gate to prevent them from steam-rolling everything, while still remaining a strong late game choice. Battlephase 4 receives a greater incentive for being purchased while also giving OST a small boost in the lategame particularly vs vehicle wipes. Since the damage reduction is tied to tech instead of vet 3 it's easier to keep fresh squads alive when all the explosions start kicking off. In: COH2 Balance

You aren't going to get yourself results from this, unless you've got access to developers api on units. Well lets see them replays buddy! Lets see some top 100 t4 wins! In: COH2 Balance

Thread: What is the REAL problem with Ost T4?5 Mar 2020, 08:42 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2020, 08:12 AMKatitof Against churchill, yes. Against IS-2 or KV-1/2, no. Same with brummbar vs ostwind vs single squads and blobs. In 5 duels with IS2 vs double stugs or panther: Stugs win 4 out of 5 fights Panther wins 1 out of 5 fights In a series of 5 duels with 2 stugs vs kv-1 and panther vs kv-1 Stugs win all 5 fights, KV-1 manages to kill 2 stugs in different duels Panther wins only 4 fights In a trial of 2 brumbar vs 5 guards squads, and 3 ostwinds vs 5 guards squads 7 guards models remain from fighting 2 brumbars 6 guards models remain from fighting 3 ostwinds In short t3 is the most cost effective vehicle tier for OST. It is at a minimum equal which means teching to t4 is a waste of resources and time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is the REAL problem with Ost T4?5 Mar 2020, 08:00 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2020, 07:51 AMEsxile But Ostheer isn't facing any stock heavy in the game except for the churchill. Allied heavies are all doctrinal thus when you see them you built your T4 for Panther. You want to improve Ostheer T4, I say its already fine as it is. It was a problem because too expensive so it has been made cheaper in exchange of seeing panther and brumbar less powerful. That's fine there is no need to give more advantage to it. Even if the Tiger is nerfed alongside with all other heavies (Pershing included), that will be a major buff to them, allowing the player to field one or two extra unit with it. OST t4 isn't better than t3. The units are more expensive than they are better. Two stugs will do better than a panther while costing about the same. The only benefit to t4 is that it's less micro.

Thread: Is the T70 OP?5 Mar 2020, 00:31 AM Whats the argument against Pios getting AT rifles again? I really do like the current LV matchups and power levels for the most part, and toying around with those is going to have a lot of affects on balance. While I like the idea of 222 being an upgrade from 221, I doubt it will get implemented. I'd rather the option for a stubby p4 at around the 13 minute mark if we're changing up vehicles. I think the biggest issue with T-70 is its simply too strong unchecked. Pio or ostruppen, now that I think about it, AT rifles would be enough to 'fix' the t-70. 222 or 444 won't run amok indefinitely. At some point chip damage will force a perfectly mircoed 222 away. There is no way to chip at a perfectly microed T-70 that doesn't involve 300+ manpower and the t-70 isn't even forced away in all situations. In: COH2 Balance
