Or is it just the super zooks? Recon paras cant get Thompsons, and only get camo with the AT package (2x elite bazooka). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Standardization21 Mar 2020, 00:26 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2020, 23:25 PMVipper 76mm rounds are toggle not ability activated. HAVP do more and both have slower reload. My point (and it is no directed to you personally) is that if one designs rounds to be used vs super heavies one should not increase the accuracy since those vehicles generally have larger Target size and are already easier to hit. Else the round as better vs most targets. Fair enough. Would you be supportive of the idea otherwise? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Standardization20 Mar 2020, 22:57 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2020, 22:51 PMVipper AP rounds do not need increased accuracy because they are meant to be used when firing at larger target size. Else they are better vs everything. The principal complaint regarding the Panther besides penetration is accuracy. Ability-activated AP rounds in this game are already consistently more accurate than the base ammunition (M4C, M36). As a paid (and timed) ability I don't think it would be exactly game-breaking to have better accuracy stats. If someone wants to dump 30 or so munitions over and over again to deal with medium tanks they already have no problem dealing with with the panther, that's on them I suppose. But really, I suppose I don't care much either way. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Standardization20 Mar 2020, 22:42 PM Just give the Panther an APCR shell (PzGr. 40) ability with greater base accuracy and penetration, a la M36. There. Any other sort of buff to the Panther will absolutely require durability nerfs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years17 Mar 2020, 22:13 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 21:58 PMVipper Not really. Their scatter depend on if you have vision on the LZ or not so it depends. They have half the spawn_time_scatter of USF paras and half the drop time in their paradrop ebps. Both abilities have the same LZ scatter values. In any case I find Paras die a lot more often than Falls, though I think that's OK, since Paras should be depending on Pathfinders and their beacons. I don't think not having Beacons has significantly hurt Falls as a unit. Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 21:58 PMVipper That was an animation issue not a decision of Relic. And they could simply be a call in squad. IIRC modders had created an impromptu 'animation' for them but relic rejected it, and nobody working there is going to bother to rig proper para animations for them, sadly. As a call-in I think they'd be more pointless than they are now. Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 22:02 PMLady Xenarra Now now, the FG-42 is a brilliant piece of engineering. It's one of the most iconic German weapons. When you hear that rattle sound, you know it's Falls after you. They only start with 2 and require Panzer Authorization before the other two can be gotten for a significant muni price. Lol. They used to spawn with all 4 though. I don't really think they should start with any, and just upgrade into two. That hinges on them becoming a 5-man squad like I've proposed before though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years17 Mar 2020, 21:48 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 21:17 PMVipper That is the point of airdropping them? So that they can die by crushing to world objects because there are no beacons? So that they can be annihilated during the drop? Falls have much less scatter on paradropping; you're far less likely to have any die on the drop. This is so much as to say that they don't need a beacon. Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 21:17 PMVipper If USF paras are designed correctly as and airdropped units Fallj should follow that desing and get more entities. Absolutely. They should be a 5-man 0.83ish RA camo squad with kar98s, upgrade into assgren MP-40s or dual FG-42s. Even keep the faust. They can't be this bullshit 4x unicorn gun monstrosity in any case, though. OFF TOPIC: Paras themselves probably could use a looking at with much that unit depends on extremely powerful mandatory upgrades; reworked Falls could be a good way to show how important utility can be instead. Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 21:17 PMVipper If ST are correctly designed then fallJ should follow the same example and and be an infiltration unit. Would only work if they get MP-40s like ST do rather than FG-42. Otherwise you have the issue you have now. It's worth noting falls drop and camo pretty fast; the only thing that makes them not a 'proper' infiltration unit at the moment is the plane flying over and the fact they can't magic spawn out of a building behind some poor dude's team weapons. Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 21:17 PMVipper Now the take the worse of two worlds and OKW are left with no infiltration unit. Why does OKW need one? USF doesn't have one either, and they're all pretty gamey to begin with. Soviet Guards Airborne by all rights SHOULD have been airdropped too, but relic shot that down. In: COH2 Balance

I remember something like 5-men commando camo, MP-40, upgradable FG-42s (I might be wrong if that was your suggestion tho). Yeah, that was basically the gist of it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years16 Mar 2020, 21:41 PM Falls should never have been this ultra-high-dps quad-BAR 4-man squad anyway. Should have been a utility heavy 5-man stealth unit as I proposed ages ago. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander concepts.14 Mar 2020, 03:53 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2020, 20:51 PMOlekman I know that's it's patch season and people are more interested in discussing incoming changes, here's what I've been working on for the past week. It's available as a mod replacing the Breakthrough Doctrine here. Give it a try and tell me what you think! Desperate Measures Doctrine Hold the line using improvised units and raw fervour. Augment your front with dismounted Panzer Crews, basic fortifications and officer supervision. Call-in emergency "Ersatz" Panzer IVs to check the enemy advances. [0 CP] Panzer Crew Deploy Panzer Crew squad. Having more crews than panzers, the high command authorized using dismounted crews as substitute infantry. [2 CP] Sturm Officer Deploy a Sturm Officer and his Obersoldaten bodyguard. The officer improves nearby infantry and has a number of abilities to weaken the enemy. [2 CP] For the Fatherland Infantry in friendly territory will receive a defensive bonus and movement speed increase for the duration of the ability. [3 CP] Field Defenses Volksgrenadiers can build minefields and bunkers. [8 CP] "Ersatz" Panzer IV Deploy "Ersatz" Panzer IV. Rushed to the battlefield, this tank can still engage the enemy, but arrives in poor state and its maintenance takes longer. Panzer Crew details: "Ersatz" Panzer IV details: Rationale: Representing the state of OKW after the failed operation Wacht am Rhein - having lost most of their materiel and even marginally competent personnel, they have to rely on sub-par substitutes and fanatical fervour to hold the line against the Allies. Everything and anything is thrown to the frontlines. Panzer Crews are not very potent in combat alone, but synergize well with For the Fatherland (decreases received accuracy and increases movement speed) and Sturm Officer (Smoke Grenade, Target Them!). They are primarily a support unit - on Vet0 they have 20% higher repair speed than Sturmpioneers and on Vet1 unlock the handy "Repair Critical" ability. However, Sturmpioneers repair rate scales better with veterancy and upgrades, while also being more potent combat unit. The LMG-34 upgrade is there to make them slightly more relevant in the late-game. Rushing for Schwerer Panzer HQ is very appealing, as "Ersatz" Panzer IV promises medium tanks 60 fuel earlier than usual. Will you rush one out to the field as a shock unit or spend time to repair it first? Remember that all of its downtime is doubled! Sturm Officer is one of my favourite units, both thematically and mechanically. Sadly, he has to compete with Panzerfusiliers for munitions in the ONLY doctrine he's in. I think he has some more breathing room in here even with For the Fatherland, minefields and MG bunkers available. I really like this one tbh. In: COH2 Gameplay

If we want to talk realism, the 90mm M3 on the M26 and M36 is basically equivalent to the 88mm KwK36 on the Tiger I anyway. In: COH2 Balance
