Thread: RAKETENWERFER, Stay or Change. What say you?15 Aug 2019, 00:18 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2019, 00:15 AMTobis Please don't take away the only things making the raketen interesting. Leave the range at 50 and give retreat back. Adding a fifth model is enough to make it more survivable, and cloak requiring standing still fixes the cheese. The raketen was always a powerful unit, just wiped too easily and stolen. Don't increase the range, don't remove retreat. The other changes are good enough to fix the unit while keeping it unique. You make a point about some things like keeping the retreat. It is what makes it somewhat unique, though the current function is extremely frustrating. I still find its current range a huge pain in the ass. It definitely needs some improvement like at least min +10 range or max +15 range. +5 add is simply too meager. All in all, it does needs some improvements in range and survivability mostly. Definitely nerf camo. That is my conclusion. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: RAKETENWERFER, Stay or Change. What say you?14 Aug 2019, 23:55 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Aug 2019, 23:19 PMJae For Jett So this kind of illustrates the issue with balancing things. 70% want a unit to be changed, 30% don't. So you go with the best option available, follow the majority, and change the unit (and piss off 30% of people). In this 70% that want this unit to be changed, you have a raw 20% that want change A, 15% that want change B, that 15% want change C, 10% want change D, and 10% that want an assortment of changes E-H. So you go with the best option available, follow the majority, and go with change A (and piss off another 50% of people). Taking the most popular course of action, you have now pissed off 80% of the playerbase, with the alternatives pissing off an even larger percentage. TL;DR: A lot of people are always going to end up upset, so you just do the best that you can That is unfortunately a natural feature that all humans have to experience. Having to go with the flow with many things, whether we would like it or not. It is pretty much an "opportunity cost" mechanic. Personally the Rak needs changes to remove Camo and improve its AT department better. They got some patch changes right but the range needs to be improved more I believe to make it more suitable.

Even 6 man rakatens dont feel good to use and most certainly arent good to fight against... Theyre simply too squishy... give it a gunshield and give it the USF AT gun treatment 2. Volks are still too cost efficient to reinforce... 26mp is appropriate 3. Sturmpioneer + 320mp is still insanely high... OKW still starts with more MP than all EFA factions and dont need to tech 1.- Rak simply needs a better range improvement than 5 additional range which is meager. Needs something like extra 10-20 range. Somewhere around there. 2.- Volks change is not too bad. It is slightly costier now. No need for more price changes for now I believe. Lets see how it goes first. 3.- The starting MP has been decreased from 340 to 320 meaning less men on the field early which is as they have planned and its good. Also Volks price increase from 250 to 260 will cause definitely a loss in early manpower strength. It should do the trick. There is a loss in MP strength early game. They will not have the same current starting strength as before for sure! It is not that high anymore than it used to be. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF September patch discussion14 Aug 2019, 23:37 PM Infantry Sections Damage changes are good. I like it is reduced since they have the potential to wipe a unit in one volley. Changes are interesting and good. Look forward to it. Vickers I think it was pretty decent already but lets see how it is new version. Approved. Sniper Good change. Comet The change was really needed. Nice. Cromwell Interesting Firefly Price changes are good and well deserved. Churchill Mk.VII It was too efficient against AT weapons. Changes are slightly small but a good step towards improvements I suppose. Maybe the changes are not that good enough, not too sure if it would prevent it from what is intended to change. Maybe what would be better is if you decreased the armour of the Churchill. Give Royal Engineers a better repair rate than it is currently. That would fix the issue better. Emplacements Good changes.

Thread: Soviet September patch discussion14 Aug 2019, 23:27 PM Support Weapon Kampaneya Good change. Maxim I think what would be a good idea for providing extra surpression is if they traded survivability for it. 5 man Maxim for slightly better surpression than it currently does. Just a step for improvement I believe. This is what I think would be a better suitable change. Conscripts 7th man upgrade Coming earlier. Good job. Suits its timing better. Combat Engineers Extra repair speed with the upgrade. Nice. ZiS-3 and SU-76 76mm HE Barrage Pretty good change I must say. Sometimes it was overwhelming and pretty powerful at times. At least it has changed. Guards Rifle ‘Hit The Dirt!’ Ability It is pretty strong currently against OKW. Against Light vehicles and MG. A bit too efficient from what I had encountered. Maybe give it a slight nerf the ability. Shocktroopers Cooldown time increased. Good. It was a bit too frequent. Partisan Troops Very interesting changes, I like it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion14 Aug 2019, 23:15 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Aug 2019, 23:11 PMJilet Actually the biggest problem of falls is their survivability being too low. With those changes they are even weaker early game. The thing they need with current changes is grenadier recieved accuracy. Since they will need to scale with kar-98s and 2 fg42s till t4. Compare that to grenadiers with lmg42 and you will realise that falls will suck even harder. (sadly) Yeah, I really did forget about that. Their survivability is really crap now and it has not been improved. I forgot to take that into consideration. Thanks Jilet. I think the Devs should look into their survivability and fix it. What I would suggest is removing some of its current utility for better survivability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehrmacht September patch discussion14 Aug 2019, 23:11 PM Most changes are great. Pioneers At least minesweeper now provides extra repair speed which is great. GrW 34 Mortar Good. Sd.Kfz. 251 Halftrack Interesting Panzergrenadier and Stormtrooper G43s I think what would be interesting is if it were accessible by default only to Pzgrens the G43. Since they are an elite unit. They should access to it, first-hand. Should be default option for them. The doctrine should only then allow provision to grenadiers also. I think this change should be considered. Bunker MG 42 upgrade The sight range seems to have been drastically decreased. Might be too big a change. Maybe put it to 45 instead. Spotting Scopes Interesting and yet a just change. Target Weak Point Ability Defined properly, good. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion14 Aug 2019, 23:01 PM Starting resources Pretty good. Nice changes Espeically to the price of trucks. Volks price increase is good also. Means less "VOLKS SPAM" Sturmpio I do love the changes for making this unit scale even better. Especially when the Concussion grenades finally can be used. In terms of scaling, the changes have really done a job in fixing that issue. Although it is still unfortunate that the AT package still is not adjusted properly. Otherwise, I will be happier with the changes than the way it currently functions Raketenwerfer Since it can not at least rotate while in Camo, I do not see how an addition +5 range would help. Maybe more like add 10-20 range, but 5 seems rather meager dont you think? I think more range is required in order to make it a proper AT support unit. 5th man definitely helps fix its survivability issue. Retreat removal is pretty much a good thing. At least there would be the reversing button which I always preferred over. Kubelwagen I like the health changes. It really increase the dynamic. Really helps decrease the repair time. Nice job. Schwerer Panzer Headquarters That change was really needed. All good. Obers can be finally used at a more efficient timing. Sdkfz. 251/17 Flak Halftrack It has a current issue with consistency and accuracy. It only starts performing well enough when it currently achieves vet 2. Now, anything below vet 2 feels a bit like trash since it really has difficult creating any proper output. Price change may help but I think more attention is required on how it actually performs. Tiger II The changes are nice. It needed something. Fallschirmjäger Nice, finally. They are currently underwhelming. Good to see finally changes are made. Lets see how it goes. EDIT - Survivability for the unit is still an issue. It needs to be looked into as it dies pretty quick, thus is unable to produce that much of an output. That it currently functions. I am afraid that, without the survival improvements, they will still be rendered useless. EDIT - "PUMA" I think it has been missing too frequently on the move. It needs to more accurate on the move since it misses a lot of times. It needs some improvements. I think that is what it needs is at least, improved accuracy on the move. Especially when it costs 70 fuel. ________________ Thanks for the patch and changes Devs, finally. Though do not forgot what I mentioned on what I think still on about the 1.- Raketenwerfer 2.- Sdkfz. 251/17 Flak Halftrack. 3.- Fallschirmjäger 4.- Puma I think some elements may have been overlooked or missed out that should be considered.
