Thread: Who's idea was it to overbuff B-4??24 Nov 2021, 11:11 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2021, 05:10 AMMMX Ofc you could have easily known all that from a quick glance over the patch notes, but I guess that's too much to ask nowadays. Alternatively just build a damn thing and use it. This is not Starcraft, you don't have to almost learn the ropes again when switching a faction Stuff is always OP when you have no idea what that stuff does, while it used properly against you.

Thread: Ostheer Accuracy24 Nov 2021, 11:03 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2021, 10:25 AMVipper T-70 has 18 target size are your number correct? (max range) 0.0418 (target size) = 0.72. Means 28% (100%-72%) of shots are going to scatter. If 1/3 of scatter shots are going to hit 0.280.33 = ~0.09. 0.09+72 = 0.81100 = 81% So we have ( 0.0418 + 0.33( 1 - 0.0418 ) ) *100% =~ 81% In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we revive Mechanized?23 Nov 2021, 20:28 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2021, 19:37 PMgeneral_gawain So let it cost 5 fuel and 40MP more, remove standard shell and give the AOE of standard shell to AP shell. Its no big deal anyways. We'll see. Nothing new, because that's almost E8 -80HP. E8 has AOE of AP shell and slighly lower pen then HVAP. Pen does not scale with vet tho. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we revive Mechanized?23 Nov 2021, 17:02 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2021, 15:27 PMgeneral_gawain I would vote totally for the combination of M4A3HE / 76mm AP so that 76mm is a straight upgrade of M4A3. Having selected the right shell would be a drastical decision in its outcome. Yes, it would need a price adjustment. sounds almost like Pershing to me minus round change shenanigans and some other details. And don't forget that SOV should get a copy as well. Again, round change is not as big of a deal, unless you spam those tanks and spread them across the map to do different tasks. Round change is a "downside" of having 2 types of rounds and should not be considered as a downside overall. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we revive Mechanized?23 Nov 2021, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2021, 13:51 PMEasy ♠ That's not true. The M10 is very good at it's role, which is to counter medium tanks. You rush one or two out, counter axis' mediums and unleash the damage with the howitzer Sherman. Also the M10 is a beast at crush damage and is an unorthodox way to deal with blobs. Combined with the dozer sherman you have a lot of wipe potential. if you are talking about teamgames, dozer is something that's gonna die very fast to double AT. As for m10, I haven't seen single time someone even with good micro get any good value from it vs competent opponent. I'd rather get sherman, or get capt and AT than that, even if I'm gonna feel really adventurous as USF to pick this commander is a first place. Meme infantry crash is the only thing it is really good at. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we revive Mechanized?23 Nov 2021, 13:41 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2021, 12:40 PMgeneral_gawain The M4A3 deals more consistent damage over a larger area, that is out of question. So it does more overall damage. OHK is overrated, especially if you compare HE Sherman and T34/P4H shells. I'd rather have shell that make infantry retreat consistently, then a shell that misses a lot, but if it connects will wipe more models. Only P4J with its insane scatter scaling with vet may be on par with HE Sherman in this regard. M10 is a joke, since it is only useful as a throw away tank to trade for a super heavy in a risky dive. The Jackson rush vs P4J is suicide, since you simply gonna lose the map. what Vipper actually meant, that from all generalists mediums 76mm has really good pen (HVAP is as good as comet's 77mm), and if you vet it, the penetration is really close to what tank destroyers have. Basic AP shell is meh for infantry, but is still enough to kill few models here and there, especially with pintle installed with potential to fend of a P4. Swapping "problem" is way overblown on this forum. The delay is as long as reload itself and it is only an issue if you do it in armor combat, a.k.a "get caught with your pants down".

Thread: HM-38 120mm Mortar Squad is OP23 Nov 2021, 08:17 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2021, 23:42 PMdonofsandiego I think that the 120mm should be able to retreat, because soviets don't have any kind of FRP. That's a personal opionion, mind you. What about if it moved slower during retreat than normal squads? The thing is heavy as hell after all. That or perhaps it could lose the recieved accuracy bonus that squads get on retreat. Or maybe slower pack-up time to make up for the fact it can't be stunlocked by model drops? EDIT: No FRP nondoctrinally, no FRP nondoctrinally. That's what I meant. in team games you can reinforce with m5. It is basically an OST 251 HT clone in this regard. And in 2v2 people don't build forward retreat points all that much. In my recent memory I've seen only USF guys do it there In: COH2 Balance
Thread: HM-38 120mm Mortar Squad is OP22 Nov 2021, 20:31 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2021, 17:51 PMNorthWeapon Doesn't matter what changes, the design of the Soviets is high survivability. Perhaps it doesn't need to be as accurate but survivability must be maintained to preserve design imo if you still remove retreat option, survivability will still be decent. The pack up time is lengthy, but the model count is still be largest. With Leig you need to kill 3 dudes to decrew, 4 with pack howie and 5 with 120mm. And that's only if there is another patch in the making and if balance team actually thinks it is a good idea to nerf 120mm. Anyways the unit is not a game winning and situational, even some claim it is OP af. Just don't sit on your bottom like a chicken on eggs and you'll be fine + it is easier vs SOV, since they don't have wide arc high suppression HMGs. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: HM-38 120mm Mortar Squad is OP22 Nov 2021, 13:54 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2021, 02:17 AMMMX This is a tricky one and I used to believe it works like this as well until I tested it a while back. As it turns out, no matter how clumped a squad is and how many models eat a mortar shell straight to the face, they'll all live to tell the tale if they've been at full health before. Max damage per shot is indeed capped at the AoE_near damage value, which is 68 for all mortar shells (except things like delayed fuse or heat rounds).. Ok, now I get it. Still weird, because I might have seen some oneshots with full health. Maybe tripping. Definitely will pay more attention to this with 120mm. Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2021, 11:41 AMVipper For those you wish to see a better comparison of the stats of these weapons check here: https://www.coh2.org/topic/106172/indirect-fire-performance-a-comparison HM-38 has higher DPS and in second place after pack howitzer. (if I am not mistaken these graphs do are not updated to buff M1 mortar got.) the culprit should be first now after pack howie AOE nerf and 120mm barrage reload buff. In: COH2 Balance
