Thread: Panzer II Luchs18 Dec 2014, 00:20 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2014, 22:24 PMKatitof Show me a single situation where self repair made any difference. Year ago it could repair single faust damage, now its useless waste of ammo. I've been playing around with the self-repair ability and I find it's actually very very useful. Lots of times T70s end up in 'guaranteed death' positions- say you run into a raketen in a house, it takes a first shot, and you can't reverse away in time to avoid the second shot. If you hit the self-repair it will almost always have enough time to get out of the arc of any AT gun. Same applies if you run into three shreck squads- as long as the shrecks don't hit within a couple of seconds of each other you'll be able to turn around and GTFO with a sliver of health. 70 munitions to save your T70 is a bargain, more people should consider using the ability instead of writing it off. Just as an example, I believe there was a tournament game on Faymonville where Luvnest's T70 went balls deep and ended up catching two raketen shots and dying, one on the way in, one just as it was escaping the arc. Self-repair would've saved it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer II Luchs17 Dec 2014, 15:58 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2014, 15:41 PMAustralian Magic For Luchs defenders, please, show me any other unit with such huge impact and ability to wipe units which should be soft-counters, like Captain. AA Halftrack M20 Greyhound T70 M5 (Quad or flame garrison) All of which can take on shreck squads pretty easily. Special mention to the Greyhound for the skill shot ability, the AAHT for suppression on the move, and the M20 for having such a massive impact that Ostheer made nearly a complete no-show in the tournament. All of these vehicles (bar the Greyhound, not too sure about it) featured at one point or another in the recent tournament, and all made a very good showing of themselves (M5 only appeared once, true, but it pretty much won that game outright) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KV-8 Post-WFA16 Dec 2014, 13:24 PM Why not increase the width of the flame instead of damage, so it doesn't vaporize lone squads on retreat or burn down a base/truck in seconds like the old KV8 while making it a proper counter to blobbed squads? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stug III e needs some love9 Dec 2014, 13:41 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Dec 2014, 13:09 PMKatitof It obliterates USF. Nothing more needs to be said. Much like the M20 does to Ostheer. That being said the Stug E needs some looking at... maybe 40 range + larger scatter. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Canister shot5 Dec 2014, 02:01 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2014, 01:54 AMDakkaIsMagic That we can agree on, and extra firepower in a engagement is always a welcome. To others, they are worth there weight in combat than just useing there arty call-in. My bad, I didn't elaborate- i don't buy them or use them for combat because they're just terrible at it I get them for arty and capping/beacons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Canister shot5 Dec 2014, 01:38 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2014, 01:31 AMbraciszek Well... Who uses I&R pathfinders anyways? And USF isnt going to spend its early munitions on its abilities, anyways... :/ I actually really like using the IR Pathfinders early (despite what Cruzzi says ). Think I did so in the first replay too, though I wouldn't use it against solid grenspam or OKW w/o MG34s or forward medic truck. getting squadwipes on MGs early is nice, and catching a Pak is worth every penny.

Thread: Canister shot4 Dec 2014, 23:54 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2014, 20:38 PMDakkaIsMagic I could say the same about the Walking stuka and the Sturmtiger. 1. Using what you assume are broken units to justify broken units is no justification at all 2. Comparing the Sturmtiger to the Greyhound is just... Even the Stuka, debatable though its performance may be, has the cost to match its strength. I'm quite sure you have watched neither replay. If your time is really so precious, just watch the second game, it's only 10 minutes long. Arguing for the sake of arguing, or just because you love a particular faction, is pretty damn stupid. Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2014, 23:00 PMKatitof I can't really think of a possible way to save the doctrine when M8 would be nerfed. Just like dodge truck IS a mechanized doctrine, the same way M8 is a reckon doctrine. Everything outside of that single ability is a bad quality filler. 1. IR Pathfinders are superb 2. do away with the current implementation of canister, make the greyhound useful in direct combat or make the shotgun shell useful in a way other than instawiping squads, and there you have it. The last two abilities of the doctrine are pretty subpar right now- i'd say the single pass recon run and the paratroopers could do with a cost drop. But that's just a relatively easy adjustment. The doctrine would definitely not be unsalvageable. In: COH2 Balance
