Thread: Airplane Abilities17 Apr 2014, 17:17 PM The thread about artillery got me thinking about some of the aircraft based abilities and how relic devs mentioned in one of the western front interviews how they wanted to make air power more prevalent in the coh2 multiplayer. My suggestion is simple. Add a commander ability call in "air cover" or "overwatch" that essentially would block any air based strafes, drops, or bombing runs for a period of time. There could be variations of this, for example one that blocks air attacks from being launched or one that destroys all enemy aircraft currently loitering over the battlefield. It would add significant depth to the aircraft portion of gameplay and allow for more dynamic commander synergies, particularly in team games. Just a thought. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Next patch predictions16 Apr 2014, 21:04 PM I heard they are letting you put 2 shock squads in an m3 in the next patch. That's my speculation. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rifle Grenades16 Apr 2014, 20:00 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2014, 19:57 PMJHeartless Great idea. Make it as useless as P4s/T34s when they fire on the move. I.e. almost no damage barring pure luck. Not to that high of a degree, perhaps make the scatter definition on rifle grenades in particular the average spread of a squad, so at worst it will hit the outside edge of the squad. For other grenades the scatter would be less significant, and for molotovs negligible, but noticeable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades16 Apr 2014, 19:45 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2014, 19:36 PMNeo So, anyway. Rifle grenades Options suggested so far to address excessive rifle grenade lethality vs. static weapon teams, particularly Maxims: 1. Reduce Maxim squad cluttering to reduce impact of rifle grenades. 2. Reduce range on rifle grenades for suppressed Grenadiers. 3. Reduce accuracy/increase scatter for rifle grenades fired by suppressed Grenadiers. I think that the scatter should be increased when suppressed, in addition to having the range bonus at vet 2 removed. However, I think there should be scatter for ALL grenades while suppressed, dependent on range (more range=higher scatter). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades16 Apr 2014, 19:03 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2014, 16:37 PMNeo I think people who play both sides only tend to complain about things that are genuinely disbalanced. That's been my experience on the forums anyway. This. I prefer to play Germans but since this last patch pretty much solely play soviets because German bias is too damn high. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades15 Apr 2014, 20:52 PM I think a good solution to this problem would be to give the rifle grenades a spread while suppressed, that way they can still get one off but it won't necessarily land right in the middle of the MG team every time. EDIT: It would make sense to give all grenades a spread like this while suppressed now that I think about it (it would be less for more close ranged nades (like molotovs). It rewards flanking tactics more and just makes sense. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf german mass panther rush15 Apr 2014, 20:03 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2014, 19:52 PMm00nch1ld then search for another forum. in the games like coh2 competitivness is home at 1s and 2s. other modes are just for fun and to fool around with friends. when i play those modes s i never care if i play good and def dont care about ladder. I'm not uber competitive and enjoy the larger game modes, but I generally would agree with this statement. But even then, Panthers in a 2v2 can even be a bit ridiculous. EDIT: Isn't this thread kind of a moot point anyways? I mean PQ has already stated they are making sweeping changes to tank combat so it's kind of futile to continue to comment on the current armored combat gameplay. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Homing Fausts/AT nades15 Apr 2014, 15:04 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2014, 14:59 PMtokarev Not always. 1. Only AT nades thrown on rear armor will penetrate 2. AT nade still does not cancel blitz. I'll refrain from using sarcasm in the future. I'm aware of the penetration values for AT nades and that they always pen panthers from the rear. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Homing Fausts/AT nades15 Apr 2014, 14:55 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2014, 14:44 PMAerohank I'd prefer they stay homing/unlimited range. If not, then I demand that the Trolololol song starts to play every time a panther uses blitzkrieg and runs through your lines at 250mph without risk. oh AT nades work on Panthers? I wasn't aware... This brings up blitz though - which imho is just a bs ability altogether. I would be happier if they all just had something like target weak point or preferably as less-game changing like the ability to cap points. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Homing Fausts/AT nades15 Apr 2014, 14:25 PM From my understanding this was supposedly addressed in the previous patch, but it seems like at grenades and pzfausts still have unlimited range and home in on the target. This has become on of my biggest problems with the game. I can think of multiple examples of getting fausted through a building or getting hit with an AT nade after reversing my scout car to distances that seem like it should be well out of range. Just wondering what other's opinions are on this at this point and if perhaps relic has mentioned if this is going to be addressed further. In: COH2 Gameplay
