Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback25 Apr 2021, 13:28 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2021, 12:59 PMEsxile far from yours, wasn't referring to the elefant. In that case Mediums vs AT Guns operate differently since for the Spotting scopes to be active you can't be moving and vehicles are best used to poke and prod around the frontlines without hanging in an area too much lest you attract AT attention. So effectively using Scopes on tanks generally results in either having a less effective vehicle on your hands in order to have better sight which might be a lateral trade off at best or putting your vehicle in a dangerous position for this extra sight which while effective has it's own risks, while an AT Gun generally wants to be centralized and any maneuvers are often slight to put into position to support infantry vs vehicles. The extra sight range gives your AT gun more operating room without support, better heads up if infantry is coming to pressure it, and is ultimately better in every situation you can use to take advantage of the sight since you have no drawbacks to go with the additional vision. Unless I'm missing the point I don't get it. If we're talking Tank vs Tank if you stop chasing to get spotting scope vision you're going to have the target leave your range where you'd have just been better off chasing to clean the kill up in most instances. At Guns can't chase so vision is significantly better there. In: COH2 Balance

Elefant The following change prevents the Elefant from being capable of self-sighting. Can no longer be upgraded with spotting scopes Your point? In: COH2 Balance

I hope you realize how infuriating and powerful self-spotting AT Guns are. Especially when you can 100% guarantee it to happen with Airbourne Company. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will Coldtech be in automatch again?23 Apr 2021, 16:30 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2021, 18:35 PMdonofsandiego Disagree. For actual tournaments and stuff sure, but for automatch it's not really a big deal. Not playing for money or anything. You, in fact, can mount an assault on a position during a blizzard. However, it takes a slightly different playstyle to do so. Blizzard assaults require infantry carriers to bring troops to the frontline where they can take cover from the cold and prevent loss of heat. Firepits aren't necessary for staving off freezing to death, they just return heat to soldiers. Cover protects from the wind which halts loss of heat. Also, infantry carriers provide heat. Blizzard combat is mostly mechanized besides units who upgrade to have resistance to cold or have it by default, like snipers. Lets take this hypothetical situation here where you've built a half track (Oops Brits, USF, OKW can't do that non-doc) and are attempting to push a point. First if your opponent has an AT gun or snares. Your HT either need to leave and your push has failed immediately due to being zoned or just dying (Along with half your infantry too probably). But lets say it doesn't happen. So you've spent 30 Fuel on a halftrack to ferry units into battle against an enemy who has hunkered down and is in prime defensive mode. So you still lose probably in the infantry fight, but your opponent has also built an LV and is currently kicking the teeth in of your infantry who have no support because you drove out of range of your support weapons because it's a blizzard and you're attacking. Okay, okay. Lets say they didn't build an LV, and they had a light defense and you pushed them off. Great! So you've built a HT that doesn't do anything outside of blizzards and now your opponent has a 1:20 advantage on his first medium tank that he's going to use to kick your teeth in later... Well shit. Cold tech doesn't work. You can't be aggressive. You have to hunker down and wait or you just lose and that absolutely sucks to play. For all the visual thematics of it. If the mechanic feels like garbage to actually experience it's not a good mechanic. Slowdown feels awful and makes defensive play stronger, blizzards lowering vision makes accidently wandering into a defensive position easier, the random application of it nullifies aggression and punishes players who are winning. Everything about it is bad apart from that fact it looks cool and that's not a good enough reason to have it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback22 Apr 2021, 21:37 PM Giving Partisans merge is like setting a nuke off inside your manpower reserves. Not only are you taking a squad that takes 36mp to reinforce and making it have to reinforce more, but you're taking a squad member with above 1 RA and putting it into another squad where he will immediately die if the breeze blows a bit too hard. Fun, hilarious, but an awful idea with current iteration of Partisans. I'd like to see a way for Partisans to reinforce off ambient buildings when not in combat. Might actually justify the oppressive reinforce cost and make them a little more interesting than Soviet Stormtroopers. (Assuming this is even possible) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback22 Apr 2021, 14:10 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2021, 09:24 AMSander93 And: - Raid Section either moved to 0 CP as an alternative mainline similar to Riflemen, or moved to 2-3 CP as an elite brute force squad similar to 3x BAR Rangers. I'm personally not sure which of the latter UKF needs more. The first would give them more diverse build orders and a different play style, but it'd overlap with Assault Sections. The second would give them a better option to fight Axis elites, against which IS can struggle late game. For what it's worth, Brits in theory probably have the most options for an opener that you could already offer with the UC, Vickers, and Sapper in t0 and the cheapest tech in the game if they want to run a Sniper or roll out an early AO, then you also have Ass Sections. Brits really only have Commandos and a slightly different version of Commandos when it comes to elite infantry where as every other faction have atleast 2 or 3 unique options. So I'd vote for the latter in this case just to diversify the mid/late game infantry roster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback22 Apr 2021, 05:38 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2021, 05:31 AMDescolata the Brits have no good option for Assault Rifle. Bren already has a cemented position, so changing Vickers K is much better, as most dont use it. Admittedly I don't care one way or the other but it'd probably make more sense that the Bren would be the pseudo assault rifle and the Vickers K would be the LMG. That'd effectively just be a swap of models in the weapon rack and the special weapons truck right? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback22 Apr 2021, 04:48 AM Allied elite infantry is generally a couple more CP expensive than the axis counterpart (Para's and Rangers at 3, Shocks and Guards at 2) (Likely to balance the fact that Axis mainline is intentionally a bit weaker) so Commandos at 3 is fine. Tank Hunters probably should go down to 1. Con Tank Hunters got moved down to 1 iirc and I don't think that'll break anything for the Brits since they're pretty uncommon and it's rare you'd even want 1 that early I'd think. As for Raid Sections I feel like you fundamentally cannot make a Mainline replacement at 1cp (Though it feels like Raid Sections are meant to be some weird hybrid? Probably because of essentially forced Bolster+Racks for teching purposes). It's too late and literally every single other mainline replacement for every faction is 0cp. That being said, however the hell you manage to balance raid sections at 0 cp is the question of the hour. Lock their weapon upgrade behind racks? Lock Thompson behind Bolster? Feels ultra jank but I don't think you can give a Thompson 5 man section at 0 CP yet you kind of have to introduce some relation to bolster/racks for them if you go that route. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - OKW Feedback21 Apr 2021, 19:21 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2021, 19:14 PMjagd wölfe Ok? Try it with penals or bren/bolstered IS at close range and see how long Panzerfusiliers last Pfussiliers demolish Sections at close range (5 or 6 guys left every time) and trade roughly equal with Penals. I don't understand what you're getting at here. Volks by comparison are absolutely devastated by both of these squads in similar situations (Volks can beat Sections at close range but bleed significantly harder to do it and have no effective way of closing the distance) Again, the problem is getting the Pfussiliers into these positions where they can win fights more effectively than Volks so they have the desired late game performance that you're paying for in both early unit strength and resources, hence giving them earlier sprint.

Lets try this one again. Really the *only objectively incorrect time* to use Pfussiliers is against Rifles where *you're simply outclassed at your effective range vs Bars*. In: COH2 Balance
