Thread: Experimental Modding for reworked USF and OST3 Sep 2020, 17:18 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2020, 11:33 AMVipper I would design US officer differently: LT a close combat unit armed with either sort range carbines or grease guns able to upgrade with Thompson with normal SMG profile (not elite Thompson). Comes with Grenade/smoke grenade or incendiary grenade Captain mid range unit armed with carbines have access to grenades/on me/mortar barrage Major Support unit comes with super vision/FRP/and binocular able to have vision similar to SU-85 Actually your setup is not that different from what im trying to create. According to my study, Usf Ofices officially have carbine as thier PDW so officer model, event major using carbine is very realistic. About LT LT carbine do have a close range profile so i think i will change all squad to carbine. My Lt do have access to grenade through tech and also have improve smoke laucher (longer range abd faster cd). I think having on me in Lt make sense since he is more oriented in offensive and leading the fight. Cpt: I also want to give him a carbine but end up with an invisible gun so i have to go back with the thompson. And im still working on him. I do think of give him off map but dont want it to overlap with major. What i will try is move ftp to him or some kind of suppression with the m1919. Major: As you can see, i already move supervises to him, and will try the rest of your ideas. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Comet armor and abilities3 Sep 2020, 16:55 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2020, 16:49 PMVipper As far as I can remember Comet's WP can kills (unless it has been patched) I think it has been patched to no longer kill in the same manner with usf mortar ht wp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Experimental Modding for reworked USF and OST3 Sep 2020, 12:37 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2020, 12:19 PMA table What, add a guy with an MP40 to grenadiers(a squad known for longranged dps/weapons)? And a 5th man without a doctrine is not how Ostheer is designed, so it is never going to happen. That is why modding exist, to make things that are impossible in live game, possible. A squad leader with mp40 is historical accurately and the main point of him is improve survivability. The 4 man basic gren squad already have great long range dmg and the upgrade slap on 0.9RA, 0.9 CD and a grenade. Upgrade allow both aggressive manoeuvring in offensive and staying power in defense. And being realistic at the same time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Experimental Modding for reworked USF and OST3 Sep 2020, 06:58 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2020, 05:26 AMUnit G17 Prices not adjusted for removing free officers, no more smoke for rear echelons, faust and rifle nade on separate upgrades for grenadiers and no more stg44s for pgs. I forget to say that echelon have standard M6 mine. They are engineering troop so smoke or event rifle nade make little sense on them. Instead Both lieutenant and captain have free tech access to improve smoke launcher. The concept with grenadier is that both upgrade have it own perks and trade off. Squad leader is an extremely powerful upgrade which give you 5th man, a grenade on par with rifle/section and faust, on top of 0.9 RA and 0.9 cooldown. All free tech at minor 25 muni. I cant think of any better deal than that since in the same mod ukf have to pay 20 fuels side tech for similar upgrade which cost 30 muni. Pgren do have stg upgrade but i forgot to put it in the unit file when building the mod so it doesn't show up. I will update that. In: COH2 Balance

I would say simply paying 35 fuel and no manpower for the platoon cp would be enough. It's not the same result since you unlock a full set of support weapons include mg, mortar and At. In live version you only have the lieutenant and unlock mg, which is the reason for "free officer" complaint. The point is officer is not "free" anymore. In: COH2 Balance

As i remember form reading in the modding tools, tank commander give 1.1 accuracy and 10 sight. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet armor and abilities2 Sep 2020, 12:44 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2020, 11:25 AMVipper Imo the unit does not need to be so good at dealing with ATGs and thus requiring the expensive Panther to counter it. Imo and since the MGs have been improved Comet should lose the WP and Grenade. This could be compensated by price decrease or something like a AP round similar to Pershing. The utility could then be moved to Churchill that could get the WP round, have its smoke replaced with "commando" smoke providing cover status but not sight blocking and having its rear armor and AT capability reduced. Price could be adjusted. That would create to paths. Comet for more AT oriented Churchill more AI/breakthrough/Infantry support oriented. moving wp to churchill is not a bad ideal, and the churchill already have grenade. What I dont like is the grenade require vet, it can be unlock with grenade tech in HQ and thing will make more sense, and grenade tech will be more attractive. Reduce churchill rear amour will also be heathy, and i will take that change to move some amour from the rear to the front of the tank like 20 more so it will be 260. Rear smoke dispenser can be completely remove, and replace by a standard smoke shoot like on cromwell. My main concern is any attempt making comet AT oriented will end up being a panther clone, like, if wp and grenade is gone, then will the remain AI power of it worth to be consider a generalist ? The commet main gun's AI is still behave very strange to me i it AOE profile make me confuse. In: COH2 Balance
