Thread: Let's talk about AT grenad USF 27 Jul 2021, 10:07 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2021, 09:35 AMleithianz I believe they do need T1 building. You just don't realize it because it is rare to loose T1 building. yes, you need any of first 2 buildings for faust to be available, but my point was that you get it from a get-go, because the building that produces grens and osttruppen provides access to the ability. So you can't have faust without grens or osttruppen and you can't build them without t1 and even if you lose it, you still will have faust if t2 is available. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-76 buff? 26 Jul 2021, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jul 2021, 18:40 PMMr Carmine I have to disagree somewhat. Axis have plenty of lights, its just vs su you wont face timely lights making the puma usefull. Usf and ukf dont have that isseu as much. by variety of adversity I mean that Axis has one stock light tank (Luchs), two halftracks(251, flak 251), two scout cars (puma and 222). Not a lot of armor here and all that come waaay before SU-76 and could be long dead before its arrival, especially flak HT, due to its static nature. So we have rather low armor pool of light opposition and rather late timing. If you consider 60 range and decent penetration stats we can see very clear intent to make at least somewhat viable at fighting medium armor, while Puma is purely anti-light with high speed and acceleration, defensive smoke and 'aimed shot', making it the best light vehicle hunter. Since it supposed to fight medium tanks, it's clearly lacking here and needs better scaling, because current veterancy is pretty crap, in my opinion, and does not help with fighting P4s and whatnot at all. Not saying it should have huge penetration from a get-go, but at least give it some at vet2 or even vet3. In: COH2 Balance

But why didn't they simply make it impossible to reload or at least start reloading while under fire? Elpern did it, but vs a much weaker opponent. I think you can find the game somewhere in AE's YT channel Imo following changes made ST very strong, not removing of the decrew mechanic: Example of undershooting AVRE: In: COH2 Balance

The puma offees far more valuable extras the a barrage for muni. Puma offers more value because of Stuart, AA HT, AEC, t-70 etc. SU-76 does not have that variety of adversity. Pretty much puma is better at killing light armor and vehicles, while SU is better at dealing with medium armor. It is problematic to dive with SU76, while it is rather hard to kite a medium tank with a puma or deal any significant damage to such type of armor without heat shells or vet 3. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of Sturmtiger26 Jul 2021, 14:01 PM I think balance team a great job with decrew mechanic. Imagine couple of STs with improved shell collision in some team game covered by raks and just obliterating everything. At least you can't multiply it now In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk about AT grenad USF 25 Jul 2021, 06:53 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2021, 16:06 PMShuter_FR It is not a problem because it come before 222. And apart from 221 and maybe clowncar, Axis has no super early game vehicles like m3, UC or WC51 Woaw "before 222" and against OKW and 221 or Kubel ? All vehicules are just in commandant, Axis have Halftrack can be heal vehicule or flame, and USF ? The last system was just balance, don't know why they modify, may be some baby COH players cried again x) Cause if you had to replace rifle squads later on it was annoying to have to get vet 1 again just to be able to snare tanks This also helps if one of your riflemen is lagging behind in the nazi killing department OKWs snare was pushed back slightly too, so I think it's okay Yeah and during early game, you can not snare 221 Kubelwagen for example, Unlock when you have lieutnant or captain only, need upgrade to have it is just unfair Just to compare Russian, dont need Tier to unlock Wermacht need just to upgrade Tier 1 OKW ? (I don't play enough) And british ? "heal and flame" halftrack same timing as 222. Kubel is not a problem and often dies to small arms fire, especially to USF with great moving accuracy on its infantry. 221 is the only tough pick, especially in current Sturmtiger meta, but you still can invest into weapon rack and pick couple of zooks on RE or go for lieutenant that also has ability to get a zook. So it is not a issue and was a great and welcomed change. BTW: OKW (Volks) need a sWS truck fully deployed meaning Mechanized or Battlegroup with mechanization upgrade. Panzerfusiliers get AT nade by default. OST does not need T1 to have faust. Grens and osttruppen have it by default. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-76 buff? 25 Jul 2021, 06:19 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2021, 05:01 AMGrumpy IIRC, the balance team nerfed the penetration so it wouldn't be effective against heavies. I'd be surprised if they undid that. Part of the problem was massed SU76 plus Mark Target was good against heavies yeah, I remember something like that. "Suchka" got significant far accuracy buff, but got its penetration nerfed. Perhaps one of the solutions could be change "Mark Vehicle" ability with slight reduction in damage, but offsetting that reduction into reduced target armor and/or receiving accuracy, making it more potent vs heavily armored targets, but less vs PIVs, stugs etc. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: SU-76 buff? 24 Jul 2021, 04:36 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2021, 15:34 PMGrumpy If the game was played on a spreadsheet, that would matter. Single AT sources rarely kill anything. The SU76 often ends up paired with a ZIS or a SU85. They usually hit and pen P4's. The alpha damage is 280 or 300, but it will take 3 more penetrating hits to kill a medium in either case. if you factor in any 160 damage from any source, indeed it does not make any difference to 640 hp unit. Although it is fairly realistic situation when su-76 is the only source of damage to a specific unit. Imo, if anything the unit need more penetration to be relevant after arrival of p4, at least make it so 'suchka' pens pre vet2 PIV consistently like it used to couple years ago. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-76 buff? 23 Jul 2021, 15:20 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2021, 03:24 AMGrumpy Thanks for posting the veterancy. One of the things that sticks out is the +16.7% damage. I didn't realize it got any buff. Due to the way that most tanks have some multiple of 160, the 16.7% improvement doesn't really provide a benefit. Increasing it to 33% like the Puma has would help it a bit. A penetration bonus would also be helpful. 120*1.167=140 640/120=5.3≈6 penetrating shots to kill. 640/140=4.5≈5 penetrating shots to kill In: COH2 Balance
