It's a pity thing. It's one thing to talk about pretend online army mans, there's probably better things I could be doing with my time, but trolling pretend online army mans is a whole new level of sad.

Thread: Is the T70 OP?4 Mar 2020, 04:29 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2020, 04:14 AMmrgame2 It is not. You sound like a typical ost tiger staller skipping t3 units. Good news staller! Grens and pak40 is getting buff to help against t70. Puma is coming soon. So plant some mines, harass with grens faust, git gud against t70 with so many options opened to the most progressive and laid out faction, called ost Do you even play the game? A t-70 running amok doesn't ruin tiger stalling, it finishes the game at t2. I'm not saying it's uncounterable. It's game ending if uncountered. If a stuart somehow manages to dance a PaK to death there's still some hope of coming back. If a t-70 dances a pak and kills it that's game over. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is the REAL problem with Ost T4?4 Mar 2020, 02:50 AM t4 units simply aren't worth it. I've tried it in 1v1 games that go really long. What ends up happening is you're pop-capped with a panther and a brumbar vs 3 t-34-85s or something. Even with a 1000 manpower in the bank you'll still just get whittled down since you can't field enough units for a critical mass. Is a panther better than two stugs? No not really but it costs almost as much. Is a brumbar better than two ostwinds? No not really, and while the costs are a little closer it's not really that much better. The only situation where t4 is "good" is when you're up to your eyeballs in fuel i.e. team games where the economy is heavily inflated. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the T70 OP?4 Mar 2020, 02:18 AM As mainly an OST player I think the t-70s lethality is a tad too high. I do think it should be a very strong vehicle, and like the current setup, but I think an unchecked t-70 should counter somewhere like 2-3 squads, not 4-5 especially since the counters are expensive and not even 100% counters. E: id really like to see pio anti-tank rifles as my preferred solution. Something that can force it away from a decrewed PaK, or the middle of your base without having to go full 100 muni shreks.

Thread: Ostheer T4 Non-Combat Grenadier Buff Idea22 Feb 2020, 04:43 AM Reduce gren pop instead of reinforce cost. A large problem with t4 in 1v1 is that you can only field two panthers/brumbars, meanwhile other factions will be able to field 3 premiums comfortably. This can be traced to the weaker and cheaper squad mechanic. You end up having to field more mainlines to make up for the weak squads, but they still have the same pop. I like the idea of having to manage more squads as a skill mechanic, but it shouldn't limit the factions potential. The other issue with grens is anemic damage at their preferred range. Maybe your gren can 1v1 a squad at long range, but if they do you'll just barely win after minutes, yet a rifle squad up close to a gren squad will eviscerate them within seconds. OST simply can't bleed an opponent with good play unless they park in front of your MG. I did the math once, and grens at 30 range do like only 20 manpower damage a minute once you subtract the incoming damage. The other issue with damage is that grens can't protect the team weapons that are supposed to be the core of the faction. Squads can simply waltz by a defending gren squad and decrew the HMG.

Thread: Guards should be more viable anti-infantry in the early game20 Feb 2020, 23:12 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Feb 2020, 22:09 PMEtherealDragon Guards have "Elite" PTRS that are much better than Penal PTRS when it comes to AI if I remember correctly. But I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near Mosin damage. It's an interesting idea but it really gives you no reason not to spam guards when they are already pretty good out the gate at AI since the LMG is usually an instant upgrade. I was curious about this so I did some cheat mod 2v2 duels i.e. 2 ptrs vs 2 mosins. Out of 10 duels PTRS squad won 7 of them. I did 5 at close range, and 5 at long range. PTRS won 3 out of the close range, and 4 out of the long range. As far as I'm concerned the PTRS is at least equivalent, but likely stronger than the mosin. The PTRS doesn't fire on the move so there's a downside there, but neither do DPs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guards should be more viable anti-infantry in the early game20 Feb 2020, 21:40 PM Aren't the guards PTRS fairly strong due to some hidden stat or something? That's on top of destroying cover. Penal SVTs are better than the guards mosin so why not build those instead of making guards a worse clone of penals? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Simple Fixes: Tank Meta Issues21 Dec 2019, 08:27 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2019, 08:43 AMSander93 Heavy tanks at 13 CPs came way too late for teamgames, where resources are inflated and CP gain is deflated. This meant that they arrived at a time when there were already 1-2 vet 2-3 TDs around per every enemy player, making them mostly unviable to use. Moving heavies back to 12 CPs may benefit 1v1s, but it would not benefit 3v3s and 4v4s. Why aren't team-game maps being slowly phased towards a more standardized resource income? As is the extra players add balance problems, but the extra resources on team maps is just shooting yourself in the foot. Surely there's some reasoning behind this? Why not just convert the excess points into medics or mechanics as was suggested in another thread? In: COH2 Balance
