Thread: Short barreled p4 for OST?12 Oct 2019, 10:31 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2019, 10:27 AMKatitof OP asks for ostwind. Ostwind doesn't help against mediums. It also has AA abilities, and should be tier locked. No one is building ostwinds to counter LVs because of it's tier placement. I'm down with t2 Ostwinds or HQ Ostwinds at battlephase 2 however if that's your suggestion. I think there'd be problems, but okay. In: COH2 Balance

I've flanked an Elefant only to get a main gun crit on a T34. I wouldn't lose any sleep if it was gone but also think that Relic would have no interest in removing a feature from the game. If you don't probe out where their dangerous units are before flanking it is an over extension, just one you might get away with. In: COH2 Balance

I don't think Ostwind would fit in the HQ though. E: another point is that short-barreled p4 can chip in some damage against mediums, but it wouldn't win any 1v1 fights. In: COH2 Balance

A 5% chance is not something that can be factored into skill-based decisions. Its waaay too random If you know there's a 5% chance for main gun crit then why exactly cant you factor it in? All your overextending punishments are punishments for lack of skill on behalf of the attacking player. They're not skill based defenses. Every single one of those can be avoided by a skilled attacking player. I hope they hit my mine, or I hope they get in range of a snare is a random factor also. It's relying on your opponent to make a mistake, and those mechanics aren't particularly fun. Fighting with a low health vehicle is rolling the dice, and sometimes you'll roll a 1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Short barreled p4 for OST?12 Oct 2019, 03:33 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2019, 03:06 AMMazianni The regular Stug already counters light tanks. The Stug E not so much, but that's not what it's there for. I'm not really sure what to do with it if the regular stug were to get some better AI ability (again, via a shell swap like the M4, not by buffing the regular attack. I feel I should stress that highly) Let me rephrase: do you think stug ought to be the counter to light tanks? i.e. it's what you build due it's position in the tech tree and ability, or you think that the stug can counter light tanks. I feel that it's position right now makes it a poor counter to light tanks unless they're massively overextended. There's little reason not to build a p4 instead unless you're expecting a heavy tank soon as it's got a much easier time chasing due to it's turret, and can't get juked, or even circle strafed. I could see that changing were the Stug in t2 though. My instinct is that it would get unlocked at battlephase 2(t3), but honestly I don't really see it causing any problems as a default t2 option.

Thread: Short barreled p4 for OST?12 Oct 2019, 02:51 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2019, 02:08 AMMazianni If it were up to me I'd just make the Stug capable of switching to HE shells like the Sherman, and then, idk, maybe buff the availability of the doctrinal Stug E to compete with it. You think either version of the Stug ought to be the counter light tanks? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main gun crits should be removed? 12 Oct 2019, 02:49 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2019, 02:14 AMShadowLinkX37 I get that, but why should your opponet be on full retreat, then hits you and gets a main gun crit and all the sudden you're in full retreat and they're on full offense. Why should 1 RNG roll orchestrate a full 180 in momentum? That's the risk of overextending. Should a rout mean you've got to fight your way out of your base for the rest of the game, or your opponent simply gets the opportunity to dig into a couple more territory points? In: COH2 Balance

You have to react to each and every situation differently. If I wanted to play a game based purely off of mechanical skill I'd play starcraft. Tbh I'd prefer more crit shenanigans like the original COH. In: COH2 Balance
