Thread: How many IS/RE to build? (and many other questions)10 Apr 2019, 22:07 PM 4 IS with upgrades as suggested before. Healing on most, ONE arty upgrade if you are not planning to make a sniper (it has the upgrade for free). And 2 RE for sweeping/repair/capping. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: Commanders UKF8 Apr 2019, 20:28 PM I like tactical support for great value. Would prefer playing vanguard but 540 + 360 mp is too steep for commandos and I like the croc for late game. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: OST Grens7 Apr 2019, 14:45 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 13:44 PMKharn So lets get this straight: <...> Total cost is 55 fuel and 430 manpower. Now lets look at OST: 10 fuel 80 manpower: Tier 1, you know, so you can build more than a pio or an mg 40 fuel 100 manpower: Tier 2 research 20 fuel 200 manpower: Tier 2 building, plus send that pio home to go make it 60 munitions = 1 LMG on a grenadier only Total cost is 70 fuel and 380 manpower Don't know why you factor in t2 building. AFAIK nades and upgrades come free with T2 research. So its 430mp 55 fuel for UKF vs 180mp and 50fuel for ost. Not accounting for 280 vs 240 mp on the unit itself. After all this, 60 muni will make the gren outperform IS in most every situation. Beating single bren (45muni) slightly and finally loosing to double bren (at 90 muni). Not saying the grens are better, but they are cheaper both in price and in tech with a huge power spike for little to no extra cost. They have snares on top of that and a nade with no timer (no clue why that is in the game). If someone suggest to make the IS tech more similar to grens - they should account for all the inherent bonuses as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens7 Apr 2019, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 10:12 AMWiderstreit I think there are some things, but 5th men for Grens isnt one of it. My ideas. 1. Give UKF same weapon-upgrade system as OST. Tommies and Sappeurs (Pios) can upgrade 2xPiat or 1xBren. I agree on giving UKF free nades and weapon racks upgrade with platoon unlock for the cost of sacrificing one weapon slot. That would bring them closer to the versatility of axis inf.

Thread: OST Grens3 Apr 2019, 11:58 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2019, 00:28 AMskemshead Using commanders to try and solve core design faults within a faction is simply short sighted and only leads to very limited meta. eg panic puma. Its not a design fault. Ost has two tiers of infantry - grens and pgrens. Somewhat like cons and penals for soviets. If you want to use your lower tier units as strong mainline inf you need to to make it a dedicated choice (using a commander). Same as cons can't keep up with other mainline inf. Ost has other great tools to win fights that everyone is forgetting and want to make them strong in every aspect. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens2 Apr 2019, 22:51 PM I have an idea. Lets make a commander that could give you an option to bolster grens. We could call it something like German infantry doctrine. It could be a free commander as well. That would give the people an option to use their support and utility focused inf to be upgraded to strong mainline inf while retaining other upgrades from basic teching. Maybe this will stop people from crying in this thread about brits getting a callin mortar. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Poll: is the Ostwind underpowered?31 Mar 2019, 17:36 PM ITT: people want Ostwind to have all the strengths of a centaur without any of the drawbacks. And also to get it faster. And cheaper would be nice too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is OKW balanced the way it is?31 Mar 2019, 15:09 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Mar 2019, 00:44 AMBalanced_Gamer Pzgrens vs Sturmpio (cuz they are alike) Pzgrens are better, even piooners for that matter Grenadiers vs Volks Grenadiers better (since they dont rely on upgrade as much, they do better with default in comparison) Thanks The discussion would be whether OKW inf over performs too much or within reason. The fact that you are comparing the first unit with ost elite infantry would be a first clue to that. I agree that volks are inferior to UKFs IS during the first minutes of the game but they scale well into the late game and easily outperform IS even when a-moving against well positioned units unless the other player has made considerable investment in his inf. That combined with the late-game powerhouse units sparks a disdain for axis favored balance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British - Lend Lease Assault - Feedback28 Mar 2019, 01:59 AM Everyone is droning about Gammon bombs which are an optional and exclusive tech path on the last tier. The one less chosen I might add. If an IS can get within a throwing distance of OKW T4 odds are the structure is going down either way. Gammon bombs come FAR later than satchel or goliaths.

Thread: panzer fusilier needs adjustments25 Mar 2019, 23:12 PM Made a similar post. I think it's an oversight too. But the balance team tends to err to the strong side when it comes to OKW xD In: COH2 Balance
