Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?3 Sep 2021, 12:23 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2021, 09:17 AMtheekvn This is a game even 3-5 M8 scott cant do their job problaly as Blob/Crow control unit. And yet They need smoke to stay aways from 2 shot kills. AFAIK only HEAT rounds 2 shot Scott, otherwise it is a 3 shot kill from 160 dmg cannon. But I agree, if lethality is increased considerably some of its defensive capabilities should be taken + increased its reload speed, but I highly doubt it will be done. One of the routes to improve Scott's performance can be just buffing far AOE distance from 4 to 4.5. This slightly improves AOE curve and chance to deal damage without touching scatter. Or just buffing far AOE damage. In team games Cali pretty much must have since it is in the best teamgame commanders. So the current design is just mobile light howitzer to push away team weapons, which Scott imo is quite mediocre at. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.2 Sep 2021, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 22:48 PMGeblobt I think both their weak peformance pre upgrade and their good performance post upgrade are exaggerated. Having no sandbag hurts more than a tiny bit less close range dmg early on. But i dont understand whats special about Pfussies later on. They are somewhat between 1 Bar Rifle and 2 Bar Rifle and almost exactly as good as Penals. Long range focused Squads like Guards, bren Sections, Paras, etc shit on them. 7men Cons behind sandbags are still unbeatable without Obers. They bleed more than Volks, while having a bit more time until their powerspike is over compared to volks. I played some games vs Pfussies in 2vs2 and i struggeled against some things but this unit wasnt one of these. I dont think that Pfussie builds are much stronger than pure Volks builds. I rather have JLI/Falls than this overrated unit. Pfusies is a recon unit, share with grens the longest snare in the game and is free, have great dps on the move, great DPS retention with model drops, has insane health pool. Penals can only shoot, satchel is very situational + they are bleed more and God forbit they don't have good support, or else they will make you MP bankrupt. Rifles are all out combat with a delayed snare + have some tech costs. They are great at what they do, but they bleed a lot because of the their best range + same situation as with penals, the models are more expensive. So PFs are good combat unit with great utility. Also I don't think they are that good in 2v2 though, just because the commanders are meh. JT is very map dependent and Tiger is meh in that mode. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.2 Sep 2021, 22:17 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 21:28 PMProtos Angelus Yes, I know, but mid/long range is what matters for both volks and PFs. PFs can be weaker close range as much as they want compared to volks, both have shi* close range for that to not matter. It's like saying "You can choose between a sh** and tur* sandwich". Both are poo. If Rifles or Cons are close to PFs or Volks, you run away like it was a white rabbit That's not the case iether. Volks win vs stock cons in cqc and have much higher chances at doing damage in cqc then at long range vs IS. Only Penals and Rifles are different story. Also imagine Rifles or Penals are charging at your PFs, while you have Volk's DPS only long range. Once they start approching mid range and CQC starts, the difference will be as big as Volks having chance at winning vs PFs retreating. Actually PF's close range DPS is so bad, that can be honestly compared to Con's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.2 Sep 2021, 20:57 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 20:38 PMProtos Angelus I also don't know where this notion that PFs are weak early on comes from. It seems that PF DPS == Volks DPS That's incorrect. AFAIK their close range DPS is substantially worse then Volk's, mid range is slighly worse and the long range is the same. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.2 Sep 2021, 20:05 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 16:40 PMGachiGasm Forget about G43 for a second. PFs are 270MP 0CP unit, from the get go they are weaker then volks at all ranges and have slightly better DPS at longer ranges, dont have access to sandbags. Lack of mid\close range DPS (which is not exeptional on volks aswell) means that your best bet with PFs is to camp in cover without moving much and hope that if enemy will somehow charge you, you will be able to hold your ground. Volks on the other hand while not having super close\mid range DPS, they can still deliver a punch if charged badly, they can construct green cover and they can force enemy out of cover. In other words, in situations where volks have problems PFs have x2 problems + their own problems. This is all about early. PFs arent underpowered\bad unit, but in early game they are intentionally handycapped because they will get G43s and G43 is so powerfull because they are rather weak early for the price. See the idea behind their balance? In 1v1 and somewhat in 2v2 its a significant disadvantages, in 3v3 and 4v4 its not. And thats the reason why they are problem in big teamgames and lesser problem in smaller games. Because the core idea behind them is not working for every gamemode. You either bite the bullet for a later power spike or mix PFs with volks. This was done at all levels since the PF rework. Just look at old builds with old command Tiger. People would just get 2 volks and 1 PFs, depending on the situation, and then just stop building Voks all together. Also the meta will change after the sandbag nerf, mark my words. I have no idea why people are shitting on PFs being weak early. This is their whole shtick. This is how they were and how they probably stay. Because you can't have one of the best mainlines this early. Just take a look at Cons and how their SVT timing was nerfed, now g43 PFs have better timing then them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf "Encirclement Doctrine" Axis. BROKEN2 Sep 2021, 19:56 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 19:38 PMgeneral_gawain It limits you to one commander always if one of your opponents has Encirclement in his loadout and it does not protect vs "Break Supply Line" only vs normal decaping. Just try it yourself. most of the time you need to decap 2 points like in Kharkov, so OST uses 1 "break Supply" and other decap is being made by a vehicle or a squad of Storms. You just boobytrap both points and it is all good. Again, if the commander is that scary, just pick the proper counter. On the ladder it is a none issue, since it is a very rare commander. This patch it was picked into loadout whopping 10% of times and I suppose the actual pickrate of the commander is much lower. So I'm really curious why this is such a big deal. In: COH2 Balance

It doesn't just pin units, thanks hyperbole. Better players actually lead the barrages and kill off the retreating squads, similar to how top players are chucking grenades into retreat paths. Once you get the timing down you can completely deny infantry to your allied opponent using a max 2 pwerfers(how much pop is that?). The barrage will be recharged by the time any new squads show up. Of course it is... at range of 40 lmao. Jokes aside Scott is a joke. In: COH2 Balance
