Thread: Vanilla factions´s repair rate27 Apr 2017, 08:48 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2017, 08:25 AMMr.Smith Sturmpios cost 50% extra MP. Therefore, they should repair 50% faster. Otherwise, OKW will fall too far back. MechHQ would be kinda balanced because Sturmpioneer popcap is 9 as opposed to 5 for a pioneer squad. Currently, MechHQ is the cherry on the top of the most OP repair speeds in the game. With nerfed Sturmpios, everytime you get snared you will have to get back to base to get the snare damage off. Fair point. I always saw their higher price as a reflection of their combat ability similar to how pios and ukf engineers are better combat units compared to soviet engineers (and therefore more expensive). Thanks for taking the time to clarify In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet sniper unfair27 Apr 2017, 05:42 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2017, 10:07 AMSturmTigerVorgo I am not saying it's impossible to kill, i am saying is that too strong considering the squad size and price of grens. This argument is somewhat problematic. The ost and sov sniper have almost equal times to kill their initially intended squads (6 man squads and 4 man squads respectively) with the ost sniper actually being slightly faster even here, the gap widens with vet or even if the comparison is on how long it takes them to take out several squads (due to magazine size). The cost of a con is the same as the one of a gren. If the ost sniper goes up against anything other than a con squad he starts to overperform (the most extreme example is against tommies, which cost more than grens). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vanilla factions´s repair rate27 Apr 2017, 05:01 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2017, 14:03 PMMr.Smith If repair speeds would get normalized, we would change things as follows: Sturmpioneer repair speed: - 2.4 at Vet0 - 3.9 at Vet2 - Minesweeper upgrade no longer affects repair speeds Rear Echelons/Sappers: - 1.6 at vet0 - 2.6 at Vet2 - (5-man squads should come as 4-man squads on the field so that you don't get sapper models for free) - Heavy Sapper upgrade bonus reduced from 2 to 1.3 (OKW can keep their MechHQ as is, to allow for non-popcap heavy repairs for players that gave up healing to get MechHQ) This doesn't seem to be normalised since ost and soviets would remain the same and okw would still have the highest repair speed of all factions (50% faster than ost/soviet repairs in addition to mech repairs) for no particular reason. Why not tone all repairs down to ost/soviet levels (afterall ost is the gold standard)? I'm sure there would be a way to address the 5th entity in ukf and usf squads somehow to allow for equal repair speeds. Additionally it is also a lot harder for any other builder to reach vet 2 since they're not combat units and mine sweepers further cut down their limited combat viability. One of the main issues against okw is that if you do not manage to kill a tank it will be back in no time repaired while any heavily damaged ost/soviet tank will be off the field considerably longer which is better in my book since it at least rewards having dealt the damage.

Thread: GCS Balance Preview27 Apr 2017, 00:21 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2017, 15:11 PMAustralian Magic Not to mention that it forces you to get AT Gun around 2-3min of the game which is insane. Going m3 meant that the soviet player is down at least one squads to what okw has on the field (building t1 and the m3). With the faust the way it was the m3 had no chance to have any impact and soviets were down a capping, damage dealing squad without the possibility to capitalise on a rather expensive early game investment. With the change one is forced to keep units together and not overextend and/or get a rakketen. There are also other options though: a mine, or 1 or 2 kubels. At the end of the day, as already pointed out by the balance team in another thread, this isn't final but something they had to do due to the scope. In: Lobby
Thread: GCS main round stats w/ updates26 Apr 2017, 16:56 PM The sample here is far too small and also dominated by very clearly won matchups (3-0 or 3-1) to make any inferences on balance. The only remotely sensible way to look at these matches would be by only looking at matches that seemed less clear cut, i.e. where each of the players did win at least one game (an approach chosen by Cruzzi in the GCS matches before the main round). Otherwise the result is just an indication for the skill gab and not for the balance since most of these clear cut series had the "stronger" player starting with an allied faction. A lot more games will be needed Again, thanks to Siphon X., for the fantastic work. In: Lobby

Thread: Soviet sniper unfair24 Apr 2017, 12:50 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2017, 12:35 PMluvnest That's simply wrong. Unlike the Ostheer sniper the Soviet Sniper is not an assasin, it can't move around the battlefield staying cloaked. Eventually the Ostheersniper can easily countersnipe the soviet one with vet 1. Plus the two-model sniper team is actually a disadvantage since it bleeds way more manpower compared to a single sniper. It's fine. To be honest the reset of cooldown with the Vet 1 ability is kinda broken. Congratulations for the 1000 post. Also well put. The thing with the soviet sniper is also that the two models do have a tendency to still get one-shot by aoe weapons since they do like to bunch up and due to their low health pool (64 per model, if I remember correctly, instead of the 81 (which ensures that the sniper can even take a mortar shell) and the received accuracy bonuses of the ost sniper). Then there is the rate of fire and magazine size to consider which make the soviet sniper underperform against any squad that has more than 4 members. I've done the entire calculation to highlight the performanc disparity once here thanks to Mr. Smith for the right number. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: GCS placement match stats (w/ updates)16 Apr 2017, 14:09 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2017, 13:36 PM__deleted__ Look like brits and soviets won´t deal problems anymore. Now you can finally see that whole allied side was winning games only because of their cheese and they are actually badly designed and stand no chance against better designed axis factions once you remove their cheese. OKW and "well designed faction" are two things that cannot physically be in the same sentence. The only well designed factions are and have always been Ostheer and Soviets. In: Lobby
