Thread: USF Commander - Recon Company rework15 Mar 2021, 06:34 AM One can try turn reverse para in to an infiltration unit, which usf currently dont have. 5 man with carbine and two upgrade of thompson or elite zook. May be let them spawn as 4 man and only the thompson upgrade provide additional models. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: UKF Commander Revamp 202110 Mar 2021, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 12:32 PMVipper The suggestion is not be identical to the Commando bar, that would be OP. Simply able to fire the weapon of the move with reduced DPS. BAR is also an option although the weapon was used from home guard. I bring up commando just for reference and i know that you wouldn't suggest something like elite bren. The point is that Bren or lmg overall on smg unit is bad, at least to me. BAR on the other hand is acceptable as an assault weapon. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF Commander Revamp 202110 Mar 2021, 11:26 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 09:58 AMVipper Lend Lease Assault Regiment CP 0 M1 81mm Mortar Team CP 0 Assault Infantry Sections CP 0 M10 Achilles Tank Destroyer CP 3 M5 Half-track CP 6 Vehicle Crew Repairs General: An interesting commander with a few issues that offer an alternative play style to the faction. What is obvious for the commander is the off maps which are usually come with in UKF commanders. Imo this is less of an issue since contrary to other commander this one has an aggressive start. Suggestions: CP 0 Assault Infantry Sections Main problem come from this infatry that start with unit that start with a received accuracy of 1 and reinforces with 28 and end up causing to much bleed. In addition the fresh units can not be build it late. Imo one could try the following (which apply to some other SMG troops also): Reinforcement cost to 26. Now comes with timed ability that reduce target size for 30 secs () WP grenade replaced with the commando smoke grenade that does provides defensive bonus. WP grenade could replace the light gammon bomb of commandos Can now fire bren on the move after hammer/anvil unlocks Veterancy bonus includes lower reinforcement cost Vet bonus and DPS might need some adjustments. CP 0 M10 Achilles Tank Destroyer Since this is a flanking vehicle maybe unit that design for it flanking should have lower threshold for engine damage (so that 1 snare is not enough for engine damage) In addition one could add extra critical damage for rear shots. Possibly remove AP round but increase duration for flanking speed that now also provides faster turret rotation. CP 3 M5 Half-track Only a visual change, change crew from tank crew to infatry ( engineers or support weapons, same goes for sexton and priest) CP 6 Vehicle Crew Repairs The ability is good but one might consider to replace it with an medium power off map. Possible candidates: Smoke raid operation Mortar cover or A light howitzer barrage similar to "concentration barrage" but with CP 6-8 and cost around 120. quite solid suggestions. i like i ideal of time ability for reduce RA, it can be implemented with some polish (calculate the effect for vet bonus). But at the same time, bren gun on aasault section is a bit off. I dont like Lmg on smg units like sapper and commando already so i dont want more of it. At the same time It can be an BAR upgrade after company cp (or hammer/anvil if needed), it fit lend-lease theme and more suitable for assault-moving fire role. About the 10, i dont know who came up with the ideal of m10 being a flanking unit from the start, but it go completely again the doctrine and tactic with the vehicle irl. I mean, it have a hand cranking turret and being less mobile and armored than sherman, how can someone pull off a flanking move with it ? It should be an ambusher, with camo and fist shot bonus, but may be too late by now. off map is an out right agree. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF Commander Revamp 20218 Mar 2021, 06:40 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2021, 06:28 AMUnit G17 Advanced Emplacement Regiment CP 0 Defensive Operations CP 3 Advanced Assembly ~~CP 3 Improved Fortification~~ -> Valentine tank (for coordinated barrage with 25 pdr) or collection of defensive items (bunkers, tanktraps, at mines, hull down for tanks, etc) ~~CP 4 Counter Battery~~ -> 25 pounder howitzer emplacement CP 10 Precision Barrage 200 MU As much as i like the 25ib emplacement, it is very not likely to happen as the team say no to new units. And as the 25ib dont make it, the valentine dont have anything to work with so it isn't very good. Bunker and tank trap are very solid, tho. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF Commander Revamp 20218 Mar 2021, 03:16 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 21:17 PMVipper General: The commander has a number of problems and the recent changes created some new one. It promotes defensive play with emplacement and on the other hand it has abilities that counter the counter of emplacement which is indirect fire. It comes with counter barrage that can counter Leig/mortars and one Precision barrage that counters Lehf. In addition it upgrading the emplacements forces make the player use less vehicles and make him depend even more on emplacements. Imo one should rethink how this commander is to be used. Indeed this very commander should be on the top of the rework list. Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 21:17 PMVipper Suggestions: Defensive Operations Now that RO are available from T0 imo the ability should benefit RO also. For instance RO build emplacements 10-20% faster. One could also allow IS and RO to build the same emplacement something not currently available. the reason tommy and sapper cant built the same emplacement is that the one they built are difference entity with difference requirements, i dont know it can be fix or not. On top of that, i since the team want to keep the work minimal, i dont think they will event touch this ability since it is acceptable. Still, if that was me, i will make it a clone of rifleman field defense. Tommy now have access to mg bunker and can lay mine, while sapper can build tank trap (UKF lack tank trap completely) Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 21:17 PMVipper Advanced Assembly Imo this ability is badly designed. The repair radius to be used for structures is small so one build sim-cities. New design: Advance assembly now only repairs vehicles and price now matches Soviet repair stations(?) or have a small fuel cost (125 manpower /45 munition). So they cost less but hared to spam and only repair vehicles. As far as agree with that advance assembly should be a vehicle repair station, if it become one, it nolonger fit the theme of the commander. I will take "stand fast" to replace advance assembly and replace "vehicle crew repair" in royal engineer with the new advance assembly if possible. Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 21:17 PMVipper Improved Fortification Another badly designed ability that force player to invest more in static play. New design: Upgrade now provides garrison bonuses and reduces pop by 2(?). Fuel cost removed. In addition emplacements get defensive bonuses for with each tech unlock. Solid suggestion, but since the garrion bonuses have little impact (17ib dont event have it), i would rather make it a passive that unlock garrison bonuses for all emplacement built and reduce their pop by 1 (?). Allowing to repair from inside can also be merged in to this ability as it is related to garrison and units in garrison can also take less damage. Note: i dont mean to have all above in one ability, but rather pick a couple of perks to go along with each others. Like: - Passive garrison bonuses and reduce pop. - Repair and take less dmg from inside the emplacement. Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 21:17 PMVipper Counter Battery The ability has no place in this commander and should be move to another commander. A new ability could be that troops that garrison emplacement now repair them. as long as Cb is stick with base howi, it will never be balanced, either op as in the past or useless as now. All CB abilities should simple be removed from the game. I will take some passive bonuses mentioned above to fill in this slot. Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2021, 21:17 PMVipper Precision Barrage Again this ability has no place in this commander. Could be replaced with "Artillery Cover" from tactical support commander. Again, arty cover dont realy fit the theme and PB is the only selling point that this commander had left. I rather keep it, or, if it have to go, i will take "hold the line" in it place. In: Lobby
Thread: Should we let Vet 1 Churchill Sten gun buff?4 Mar 2021, 05:38 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2021, 19:08 PMRoastinGhost I completely agree. That would read better, since other tank pintles are decent. I also don't like the look of so many armor ports open and crewmen exposed. The Churchill pintle is ok for a modder's "we added this because this is all we can do" type feature, but I think it should have stayed that way. The pintle itself isn't look very bad but when two out of three guys in the turret pop out on top at the same time, it just odd. In: COH2 Gameplay

"this early on" you mean after the latest tech of the faction ? Before that it just the same as before. It is not like i prefer it this way but that is what i have to play with at the moment.
