Thread: Undeniable Easy Eight problem.2 Feb 2020, 02:22 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 19:55 PMStug life Sorry that easy 8 loses to dedicated anti tank more expensive end game tank hunter , it seriously need some buff , maybe give it same stats as tiger and reduce yhe cost to 100 fuel ? You are welcome to try and point out theexact sentence where i suggest M4A3E8 buffs spoiler: you won't, because i didn't, and I don't want to have it buffed. So stop your wehraboo rage Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2020, 01:16 AMthedarkarmadillo stuff You are also welcome to point out the fragment where I suggests buffs, I won't spoil your fun though (don't cheat!). I'm sorry if you read my post as "bitching" (that wasn't the point), I was just sharing my point of view and experience with the unit, and that it is in fact not "amazing", just kinda "mediocre" tank, followed by a weak doctrine. Maybe if it was non-doc it would be allright, not that it will be (and no, i don't want that either, do I have to point that out everytime so you don't think its "bitching"?) There's no point buffing it, either it gets buffed through the roof, so it's worth taking the doctrine just for it, or it won't make a difference. I won't reiterate why i think so, read my post again if you want. IMHO Generalists teand to get balanced more harshly (Hi Comet!), since they allow for "hurr durr spam one unit to win where's combined arms?!" they are brought to a point where 2 specialists > 2 generalists (no, I do't disagree with that either, just FYI), problem is, at this point a single one of them doesn't make a huge impact, and by the time you get a second vehicle, you are at a disadvantage, since you could have 2 specialists on the field doing a better job (oh and you also lost a doctrine slot) We could (and probably should) buff the doctrine , but the E8 will be just an addon, not it's "party piece" (nothing wrong with that though, just my preference for the vehicles to feel "special" rather than just sort of being there) As for the E8 itself, I'd love to see a redesing of the thing, make into a sort of "hero medium" call in, cp9-10, tech required, 160-179-ish fuel, buff its stats a little (not sure on exact numers though) and allow only one on the field (so it can't be spammed), powerful enough to make an impact on its own, but nowhere near the performance of an HT (maybe around Comet? idk) IMHO that would make it interesting, and differentiate it from "regular" 76. But thats just some random thoughs, man can dream (probably not what the mod team wants to spend resources on) TL;DR -Doctrine needs a buff -I don't want E8 buff, stop your nonsence -I wish it were redesined into something more interesting.

Thread: Undeniable Easy Eight problem.1 Feb 2020, 15:24 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2020, 13:36 PMthedarkarmadillo Its not going to win against a panther, but it won't be a complete pushover like an M4 is what I mean. It will pen reasonably frequently which means it's got a chance, especially on the move. So what you are saying is that it loses, just less badly. And see, that's the problem, Ez8 doesn't really "get" you anything, it stil needs AT support against a Panther, or anything bigger just like a regular Sherman, so you still need a Jackson anyway (or enough AT guns/Zooks to cover its absence) But unlike a regular Sherman, it doesn't secure you a solid AI advantage on the field And, as has been said already M4A3 + M36> 2 x M4A3E8 (maths, yo) And it'll stay that way, since any time there's a situation where generalist spam wins with specialists, a nerfbat comes around to say hello (spamming one unit to win is not-kocher around here) I mean you can use a doctrine slot, and 140 fuel to get a tank that lets you win against P4, and Stug maybe (compared to regular M4A3) and loses its AI punch, adn you're discouraged to build more than 1 anyway. Or you can get adoctrine witch gives you a hero unit (M26), and good inf. Or you can get a doctrine which gives you a rocket artillery, and good inf Or you can get a doctrine which gives you Self propelled howitzers, and M1919s (as in, good inf.) Or you can get a doctrine which gives you awesome AI tank, and cheap AT vehicle (Armored) etc. (and good assault inf) Even M4A3(76) is better, that at least has some serious DPS, so it's better for flanking.

Sure, it's a pretty fun (if clunky) game in which you can arm entire infantry squads with LMGs stolen from enemy vehicles Regarding the topic at hand, you can nerf Jacksosn armor as much as you want, 100, 80, doesn't matter, right now it has like a 1/6 chance to bounce a P4 from max range? anything more than that goes through 100% of the time anyway.

Thread: jackson armor nerf30 Jan 2020, 10:38 AM Funny how "realism" is always about allied vehicles being made out of paper, or german vehicles being pure wunderwaffe Its never about Elefants setting themselves on fire every 20 meters or Panther breaking their final drives all the time.

Thread: ISU-152 HE shell range29 Jan 2020, 22:31 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2020, 22:06 PMGGnore Brumbar is the unit similar to the isu and is balanced by having weaknesses, none of which the isu has. My point with the panther is, its the only nondoc unit able to pen it and its so expensive to get that its incredibly hard to counter. option. Yeah it has no weaknesess like being slower, not firing on the move, costs 110 fuel more and takes 22 pop cap. In fact, it is really so expensive to field a 185 fuel unit to counter a 260 fuel unit, even Elefant is cheaper at 245. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Power creep29 Jan 2020, 15:05 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2020, 10:51 AMVipper Not really. Nerfing OP thing does not mean that the pace of the game has not increased. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that most things being nerfed means the general power level is constant, or going down. Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2020, 10:51 AMVipper Can we cut down on personal comments? No promises, but I'll try Vopper. Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2020, 10:51 AMVipper Changing the timing of unit can be a major buff. It was proven when Guards/Shock where moved at CP 1 and recently with changes to Super heavies. Well, they had to incentivise their use somehow, to DIVERSIFY builds. Changes to super heavies are an obvious mistake on the mod team part, (that is being FIXED btw so yeah, there's your power creep) They figured tech requirements would be enough, they were wrong, happens. Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2020, 10:51 AMVipper And that is translates to power creep. More powerful units have become available earlier compressing the window of opportunity for unit and having to be buffed to become solid investments with in that time frame. Super strong unit gets nerfed, super strong unit isn't super strong anymore, The cost and timing of the nerfed super strong unit is adjusted to it's new power level. Not that difficult is it? Look at Pfusis, they come earlier, but are weaker before upgrades (acutally, they are just weaker , power creep yo) Look at Obers, they come earlier, but they can't get MG34 before flak is complete I mean, if you want to ignore the fact that some of these units weren't used at all (or just very rarely) then be my guest. I for one thing having more weaker units available earlier is better for the game than making sure that 400mp unit behind 120 fuel wall is somehow worth the investment, and not cancerous to play against, especially when blobbed. BTW as for "units which were fine for years", just because a unit was neglected for a long time doesn't mean it is or was "fine", it just means no one paid attention to it (Assault Guards, anyone?)

Thread: jackson armor nerf29 Jan 2020, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2020, 23:58 PMVipper Great, now lets do the same with allied TDs while also bringing their max range accuracy inline with the Panther's. There, now they will hard counter heavies, but they will not roflstomp PzIVs Right, now we just need to boost their health to 960 armor to 260, give them blitz/flanking speed and asmoke, boost their AI levels. Fuck it, lets just give Panthers to everyone. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion28 Jan 2020, 23:40 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jan 2020, 21:47 PMVipper Just because, somethings were broken at some point in time, it does not mean that there is no power creep. Yes, just because things in general are weaker than they used to be it means there is no power creep, not in long term anyway. I could write an entire list of units that have been weakend (entire GROUPS of units even) but what's the point? You can read the patch notes just fine (I believe in you!) just read them all and not only the bits that support your claim (pro tip of the day). Changes to the unit timings come specifically to introduce units back into the meta WITHOUT buffing their stats to OP leves, and to diversify builds (which has been a big point of the last few patches) Also, even though elchino already adressed your points, these changes came from: changes of the unit power level (which made their place in the tech tree no longer reasonable), and/or way to diversify the builds (PGrens) or as a result of past (over)nerfs.

Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion28 Jan 2020, 21:29 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jan 2020, 01:50 AMelchino7 It's too easy to call everything powercreep when you don't remember how strong factions were on release. If you have something strong, then you nerf it and then you buff it to lower levels than in initial state, is it powercreep at all? Let's "nerf" every faction to release levels. You would want the current so called "power creep" back in less than a week. Oh yes! Bring back release UKF! OG Infantry sections, 1600hp Churchill, win-button artillery cover, nuclear air supremacy, PIAT Commandos 1-shotting tanks, 240 dmg Tulips, OG Land Matress, original emplacements, Command-UC, double flamer Crocodile, Comet spam, man those were the dark (and amazing) days. Wehraboos would have bled from their a-holee from pure anger. Letss keep going then, double 1919 for riflemen, with smoke one every squad, release M1 mortar, old P47 loiter, Jagtiger with 85 shooting through objects, Volksgren shreck blobs, suppressing Kubel 352 Armor Panther spam with 3xstacked armor bulletins (whats that? ~370 armor on a medium tank? xD) Suppresing LeIGs, Stuka dive bomb wiping everything in its area, pre-nerf Cmd. Panther etc. God, you can get PTSD just from reading this stuff we removed, power-creep my ass. In: COH2 Gameplay
