Thread: Jackson Overperforming23 May 2018, 16:07 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 15:48 PMStug life by 45 i meant the starting fight range if i said 60 would u think that p4 had 60 range ? 45 would be the range where jackson could shoot first but still lose thanks to the high reload and the uselss 200 damage vs medium (at 60 jackson could win if all hit ty to the 2 extra shoot) btw all this is behind the point ( that jackson still counter the p4 and now is much safer and faster in doing so) I completely agree with the statement, if there is another unit spotting for the jackson, but then the "old jackson sight range" has pretty much nothing to do with it since the jackson had 35, then 40 and now again 35 sight range. You need another unit to spot and then I 100% agree. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson Overperforming23 May 2018, 15:31 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 14:55 PMStug life old sight range jackson His point was that the p4 cannot and never did shoot past 40 range, therefore it would be impossible for the p4 to win any engagement at a range of 45. Not sure if the old jackson sight range increased p4 range, but I highly doubt it In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring ninjas - SBP Error & Bug Reporting19 May 2018, 08:23 AM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2018, 08:06 AMVipper USF FIXES • Fixed an issue in which Recon Company Raid Tactics would give +7 vision to infantry indefinitely. • Jackson far range set to 60 as originally intended in patch notes. • Pack Howitzer Heat Barrage damage and AOE damage reverted to pre- Spring Update values (unintentional change) • USF 81mm mortar auto attack distance scatter reverted from 0.0875 to 0.08. Jump back to quoted post19 May 2018, 00:42 AMsherlock As you can see, the normal barrage slightly outperforms the heat barrage at anything past near, which isn't that common. So if you wanted more consistent damage, the recommendation would be to use normal barrage always. The point is redundant with the fix , but I thought it to be an interesting question, which is why I asked. Here is the answer after checking everything (If I made a mistake somewhere, please let me know). I'd like to kindly ask that you read my comments through to the end. The aoe profiles still remain different but now it's back to the heat barrage having better damage at all distances. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Spring ninjas - SBP Error & Bug Reporting19 May 2018, 00:42 AM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2018, 20:26 PMinsaneHoshi Just because the heat barrage has a lower near AOE radius, this doesn't mean it has less AOE damage. Keep in mind that the 120 damage is 40 more damage than the 80 normal. This means that if they had the same AOE profile, at some radius X the normal barrage is doing 60 damage and not killing model while the heat is doing 90 damage and killing models. Looked everything up and calculated it. They don't have the same AOE profile, which is why I asked Cruzzi. The heat barrage would only do more damage if it fell directly on someone (near damage). With the damage multipliers for mid and far ranges it would be slightly worse than the normal (buffed) barrage. Heat barrage (with bugged 120 damage): near: 1200.85=102 mid: 1200.15=18 far: 1200.05=6 Normal (buffed barrage): near: 800.85=68 mid: 80025=20 far: 800.1=8 As you can see, the normal barrage slightly outperforms the heat barrage at anything past near, which isn't that common. So if you wanted more consistent damage, the recommendation would be to use normal barrage always.

We are about to deploy a hotfix to address the issues people have been running into. Thanks all for reporting problems, Andy Thanks for the really fast fixes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: My greatest fear for COH 218 May 2018, 11:38 AM This is how a game should be designed: balance > gameplay >>> historical accuracy A fun game like coh2 is inspired by history, not balanced by it. Removing historical accuracy to benefit balance is perfectly fine by me. Edit 1: Read more of the contents of this thread and immediately regret having ever posted in it. Why isn't there an option to delete my post? Edit 2: (I fell for the promise of candy in the van, but there is no candy in here) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Spring ninjas - SBP Error & Bug Reporting18 May 2018, 09:14 AM Jump back to quoted post17 May 2018, 22:45 PMCruzz USF: Pack Howitzer Heat Barrage damage per round from 160 to 120, aoe near from 1 to 0.85 Judging from this, if one was to try out the newly improved pack howitzer, would the recommendation be to always use the normal barrage since it has better aoe damage than the heat barrage? Judging from a game and the reduction of near distance and reduction of the damage, I'd guess it should be worse than the normal barrage, is it? The pack howie barrage seems quite decent now.

Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread17 May 2018, 22:14 PM No it wasn't and no it's not You don't get to permanently have increased sight on every infantry unit Believe me, I know the ability, I used it a lot. If you read the text you'd also realise that it must be broken whether you know the ability or not since it doesn't work after first use to capture territory with vehicles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring Update - Balance thread17 May 2018, 21:53 PM Found a first bug. Raid (both for Recon and Mechanised Company) can only be enabled once and is then always active. The increased sight range for infantry seems to apply permanently after the ability is activated. The ability for light vehicles to cap expires after the normal period but the symbol above the unit remains also indefinitely. The vehicle portrait will also still indicate that raid is still active, the vehicle however can't capture territory anymore. The ability is permanently on and cannot be deactivated. This is also reflected by the ability icon. The ability description has also changed and only mentions that light vehicles can capture territory. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stuart17 May 2018, 09:40 AM I feel that the engine shot ability has to be reworked into something more useful to give the stuart any reason to be because in most cases it's cheaper and just as good to get an at gun. Engine shot was tricky to use when stun was still very potent and cancelled movement but now it's an expensive at grenade (60 munitions) with 0 range, atrocious wind up time and a near guarantee to lose the stuart in the process. Engine shot wasn't used a lot when the stuart was very strong, but I have never seen it since the stuart was adjusted. The ability is basically unusable without a stun that prevents movement since you'll never get into range on any vehicle that can still move. Maybe decreasing the cost to 30 and making it a 1-2s stun (preventing movement) that can be used at range would make it an interesting support ability. Another would be to just turn it into an at grenade (effect wise) that can be used at range. Or get rid of the ability and give the stuart a turn out mode like the t70 that allows it to spot for other vehicles. 60 munitions for the ability to lose a stuart is not very attractive at the moment In: COH2 Balance
