Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback Soviets29 Jan 2020, 21:17 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2020, 21:04 PMblvckdream IS2 needing all buildings is almost completely meaningless because T1 is 10 fuel, T2 is 15 fuel and you always build T3 and T4 anyway. IL2 AT rocket strafe needs to be nerfed. Same with SVT Cons. Shocks and ISU slightly too good too. SVT conscripts are doctrinal just like other doctrinal squads. I think they are fine as it is and still die easily. Nerfing Il-2 AT strafe will make the commnader handicapped with no heavy tank or potent AT ability( strafe is already hit or miss. Watch the recent tightrope replay where he casted Ashablois 2 v 2 and both players took airborne. You can see the deficiencies in the commnder.) I have argued in other thread too and gave reasons why its okay right now. Shocks are good? Yes they are. Are they too good? Hell no. In: Lobby
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion26 Jan 2020, 18:31 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2020, 14:47 PMblvckdream Can you read? I wrote boosted PTRS stats. Similiar to how elite Bazookas on Rangers are better than normal Bazookas on Rear Echelons. And I said strictly AT-specialist infantry. It's even underlined. Seriously how bad can one's reading comprehension be to not even notice the things that are highlighted. Yes i can read. I said in response of your suggestion to equip 3svt and 3 ptrs. Why would AT specialist need svt then? And i said i'm not sure how much penetration value to increase. That means i acknowledged your statement of boosted ptrs. Edit: i know rangers have 3 carbines i think. Or some other rifle. But 3 ptrs =/= to 3 zooks. So an AT specialist doesn't need svt then. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion26 Jan 2020, 14:31 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2020, 11:20 AMblvckdream One idea I had when thinking about how to fix the Soviet Airborne Doctrine: Make Airborne Guards an AT-specialist squad similar to tripple elite Bazooka rangers: - Give them the same starting RA as normal Guards but replace the veterancy RA buff with a damage reduction similar to what Grens get so they become a very durable AT-infantry squad. Higher survivability than tripple Bazooka Rangers but less alpha strike damage. - Give them 3 SVTs + 3 PTRS (with better anti-tank stats than the regular Penal PTRS, more penetration and better reload) + AT-Satchel --> Now the Airborne Guards have synergy with the doctrine as a AT element to support the SVT Cons. Then replace the IL2 AT Rocket strafe with either the IL2 AI loiter or the IL2 precision bombing run. That would make the doctrine have good synergy without being overly cancerous and still viable for 1v1 and 2v2. So you want to create another unit which is neither AI nor AT? Ptrs barely penetrates. I'm not sure how much penetration an anti tank rifle would beed to penetrate heavy armor. This doctrine is already muni starved. People can already use AT satchels of penals bro. And whenever you need to throw a satchel you need to get into range and use munitions. So no thanks. Better give lend lease bazookas than ptrs and satchel s**t. In: COH2 Gameplay

The guy was arguing if you think the il2 at strafe is op then how is the drag bomb balanced and also brought up il2 precisions strike for some reason. No. Not for some reason. I explained above how il2 rocket is not op. Gave examples of il2 precision above which has been in the game for a long time. Go read. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion25 Jan 2020, 17:56 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 17:45 PMblvckdream Ram + IL2 precision bombing only works on Ele or JT, maybe on snared/stunned KT if executed super well. It is too slow against medium tanks. So no, ramming + IL2 precision bombing doesn't work the same way and on top of that it's also twice as expensive as the IL2 AT strafe. it is dedicated anti tank. what is so difficult to understand about this? that means no damage whatso ever to anything else . neither infantry or buildings. yes il2 precision is expensive because you can 1 destroy an enemy garriosn with it 2 destroy a limping tank with good anticipation 3. clear out enemy arty pieces 4. clear out pak 43 5 area denial. it is a multi purpose ability while il2 rocket strafe is just a situational ability and depends on rng. i have seen it hit houses and trees in the path multiple times. im not discussing anymore on this now. you can keep on if you like In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion25 Jan 2020, 17:42 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 17:17 PMblvckdream IL2 precision bombing and IL2 AT rocket strafe are completely different. What are you even talking about?? And what in god's name does the Sturmtiger and AVRE have to do with an off-map anti-tank IL2 strafe? i meantioned il2 precision to highlght that people are whining for no reason because same tactics already exsited in game before the new commnader update. AKA ram and il2 precision. someone mentioned ram is cheesy. so i said if avre and sturmtiger isnt cheesy enough so what is? i am talking aboust cheese here In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion25 Jan 2020, 17:33 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 17:15 PMblvckdream People need to stop with the off-topic comments. Also please stop comparing things that aren't comparable. Ost fragmentation bombs are primarily AI while the Soviet IL2 bombing run is against structures, stunned heavy tanks or very expensive aerial denial. What to do with Soviet Airborne? Make the IL2 rocket strafe 180 muni with longer cool down so it isn't as spammable or keep it at 100 muni but reduce the damage of the rockets by 30-40%. it deals 160 damage per rocket. how much more less do you want it to be? IL-2 Rocket Strafe Requires 10 Command Points. Costs 100 munitions Barrages the area with P-47 rockets. Effective against vehicles. IL-2 Rocket Strafe -Damage against vehicles from 120 to 140. -AOE damage profile against buildings reduced to SCAS Strafe level. -Damage against non-vehicle targets from 120 to 20. IL-2 Rocket Strafe -Damage from 120 to 160 versus vehicles. -Building AOE damage from 1/1/1 to 0.25/0.001/0.0005 (this will be adjusted, values are temporary to stop ability from hard countering buildings) IL-2 Rocket Strafe A slight delay has been added due to the high damage this ability can deal to armored vehicles in a short period of time, before players can react. -Added a delay of 2 seconds before the airstrike arrives its a quick reward risky rng dependant ability. can only be used agasint tanks not buildings and needs to engine crit enemy tank or a sleeeping opponent In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion25 Jan 2020, 16:39 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 15:54 PMZeroZeroNi Well for starter increase the cost to 160m for now. IL2 Precision takes a lot longer to get in the map. It's more reliable but it's more costly as well. Cus infantry is not(nowhere near) as costly as vehicles are. loosing 240-380mp + 60-150 muni in an instant is no where near as much a set back as loosing 500mp 180f to 630mo 230f units. well for starters t34 is at 300 mp and 90 fuel. So no 240-300. Also if you increase the price you might need to buff it lol or buff the doctrine . the other thing about il2 precision is that it is still slower than fragmentaion bombs. So you might want to say something about this? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion25 Jan 2020, 15:48 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 15:45 PMZeroZeroNi Dude i killed many panthers and tigers using this. When you time your ram and activation on the ability + angle of approach(from behind) it's impossible to dodge cause even the stun caused by the ram will hold the tank in place long enough to get it destroyed. + on corners of the map even if you react the moment you see the smokes you still you get hit by the rockets with out question specially if your stationary or have to change direction. Well then if you think its OP what suggestions do you have for soviet airborne??? Because this was in the game long before airborne commander. It was il2 precision bombing. That's more reliable anyway. Look if Sturm tiger and Avre can delete multiple squads in one rocket then i don't know what is more cheesy. In: COH2 Gameplay
