Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.2 Sep 2021, 08:51 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 15:29 PMGachiGasm Its not about distances, its about flexability and ability to pick your engagements. Unlike grenadiers, Volks\PFs dont have MG42 zoning enemy from them allowing to stay at their preferable range. OKW have Sturmpios as a zoning tool, but its not as near as effective as MG. In other words overall its just easy to caught OKW offguard and volks\PFs arent particullary good at 1v1ining. This is true for smaller gamemodes, which results in OKW having shit win rates in 1v1 but good win rates in 4v4. I honestly don't get what you are saying. Are PF is a bad/underpowered unit? And what unit upgraded PFs can't 1v1? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.1 Sep 2021, 11:19 AM I bet PFs will become meta after the Summer Patch. It is a great mainline, but a) you can't go mechanized with it b) you need to forget about muni spending for a bit. yes, if you open with PFs you are vulnerable early on, but you still can play it very safe and don't get into trouble. Once you get the upgrade you can get into town. Some people must be smoking something strong if they think PFs are "OK". They might be the best mainline after the sandbag nerf. In: COH2 Balance

T-34 ram/IL-2 combo was a big buff to Axis heavy tanks in team games. Typically when you have heavy tanks covering heavy tanks, they become near impossible to defeat without the T-34/IL-2 ram combo. It wasn't bad, because it gave Allies a tool to counter super heavy TDs. See winrates you've posted in 2019 and then look at winrates pre "ST patch". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.31 Aug 2021, 08:33 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2021, 07:52 AMApplejack You know the reverse can be said. If 1v1 and 2v2 players were more aware and empathetic to 3v3 and 4v4 players they they can discuss what changes can be made without shaking up the balance all that much. Technically the majority of players are in team game modes so they are keeping the game alive while only the minority are enjoying a balanced game. I can think of several changes that can be made without affecting 1v1 and 2v2s all that much. Such as limiting rocket artillery to 1 or in general, limiting artillery to 1 so it can't be spammed. I made a list above your post which includes some other changes that can be made without affecting 1v1/2v2 balance. the only change that wasn't really that bad in 4v4, but was crucial in 1v1 and 2v2 was t34 ram. I have no knowledge of other changes that influenced 4v4 meta that much, apart from maybe general OST improvements and unnecessary harsh USF nefrs. AFAIK in 2019 OST was not in a good place, probably even much worse then OKW right now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.31 Aug 2021, 07:48 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2021, 07:14 AMApplejack Sorry but this post is toxic and really strikes at the core of why the author made this thread. This kind of toxicity/elitism should have no place on the forums or in CoH. There really is no excuse for this kind of toxicity and wanting a balanced team game modes should not warrant this kind of toxicity. he is right though. 4v4 game spammers are usually 'fixed screen on your blob' type of players, which is understandable, because it is hard to micro vs several players. The game mode is flawed and should have never been viewed as competitive. It is just COH's analogue of "team deathmatch", nothing more. And yes, the game mode is very unfair towards Allies, because JTs, Elefants, early mg42, tight spaces and lots of AT guns per squared meter. On top of that there are tons of leavers, overall more frustrated and toxic playerbase with addition of imbalance. Also I believe that factional fanboism is more prevalent there. Imo, if 4v4 people were aware of 2v2 and 1v1 balance, so they would discuss changes that mostly influence that mode, they game mode would have been in a better spot, but instead it boils down to factional holy wars with touch up of whine why X unit is not effective in 4v4. Just ask yourself how often do you hear that t34 is trash from team game players and how often do you hear it from 1v1 players? People even claiming t34-85 to be "much worse then a panther". And how would even they will know, if hypothetical guy loses the tank to a pak wall while microing his blob and even if he didn't lose it that way, he will sooner or later. Ofc after that, that poor sod will just curse the damn thing and just buy a SU-85 that will help him with shooting at Panthers and other cats, while staying out of pak40's range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?31 Aug 2021, 06:11 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2021, 01:22 AMleithianz Are you sure you are not mistake Priest from Scott? it does have over 100 range, but you need vet 3 for it. Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2021, 03:05 AMMMX As usual, you seem to be willfully oblivious to the fact that despite the hefty nerf to the AoE the Scott received major buffs to barrage scatter, reload and shell count to make up for the loss in raw damage... this. I tried "new" Scott on Ostruppen and it hardly oneshots. I think Scott still needs something. It may be alright vs HMG, but AT guns are able just to move away. Perhaps move "-40% recharge time" to vet 1 and smoke to vet 2, or increase ROF a bit to increase its dps In: COH2 Balance

Or you have something to say about competitive nature of 4v4 composed of randoms with legendary relic matchmaking on top? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?30 Aug 2021, 07:52 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2021, 07:27 AMHannibal I am confused myself what the current stats are. I assumed the 1m is true because it is mote in line with the text of the new changes. Regarding your suggestion: This can only go with a larger increase to POP and price. at this performance you should not be ble to build two Scotts without leaving a gap somewhere else, since it comes near Brummbar performance. For an unit that has been updated in the last 1-1.5 years, I wouldn't take serealia for granted. Numbers are from half a year ago, from patch notes. Old number from patch notes add up with Serelia's. In essence the "new AOE" is combination of a near damage change + info from Winter Balance patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?29 Aug 2021, 22:51 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2021, 22:13 PMgeneral_gawain Thx for the visualisation. I took your graph and added the prepatch state before the big AOE nerf with a purple line. You can see how huge the difference is. I added an orange line for a possible buff that would turn it in a better blob controlling machine which wouldn't affect its performance versus single units that much. When I looked at Serelia's numbers I was "holy shit, this was a long rang Sturmpanzer". No wonder it got nuked that patch xD In: COH2 Balance
