Thread: Hammer gammon are (still) too expensive.5 Mar 2016, 11:26 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 10:44 AMMyself In this case bigger AOE mean that it can stun vehicles in quite a big area and that it can wipe out support teams and garrisoned units quite good... And that is why I said that comparing gammon with satchel is not really helpful in the first place...they both do a big boom and the similarities end there... The hammer gammon is entirely dodgeable. it's got a 12 meter throw range with a 3.3 seconds fuse. The Molotov have 15 range and the two allied grenades have 20 meter range. Any units should really be moving or watching out for explosives if an enemy unit get that close. Tanks shouldn't really be loitering that close to infantry units to begin with. Too many take the tommies' lack of regular tank snare for granted. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hammer gammon are (still) too expensive.5 Mar 2016, 10:28 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 08:33 AMMyself 2 more range is 20% which I would argue in not negligible. Gamon bomb also has more AOE 4.5vs3.75 (20% better. bigger AOE but significantly less damage. 340 vs 200 is a lot. it's not like the satchel and penal are models of excellence to begin with. Their only real use is to knock down buildings and not much else. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Sections, Cover Bonuses and Design5 Mar 2016, 07:44 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 07:07 AMSvanh - The PIAT has an extremely fast reload time for infantry AT weapons when not equipped on Infantry Sections. If it could reliably hit units without attack-ground micro, it would be completely OP. I think you forgot to take into account fire aim time: PIAT fire aim time + reload = 6.9 schreck = 8.375 bazooka = 6.375 These problems can be solved by changing the current penalty to a bonus and altering the current weapon stats to maintain the current balance. it work as a penalty, because changing it into a bonus would turn lmg42 tommies into terminators. it's a pretty rare case, but it does happen.

Thread: t34 76 now useless5 Mar 2016, 04:36 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 00:42 AMPablonano lets be serious, the british got the best part of both axis and allied cakes, and even then they managed to not make it look ridiculous overpowered there's more to armor then just the regular medium tank. Both axis factions get the panther and the okw specifically get the King tiger. The british have the excellent comet (and formerly awesome) churchill on top of the cromwell. giving both the sov and the US decent medium tank is not going to change the fact the axis still have access to superior tanks in their tech tree. I would have prefer buffing the sherman instead of giving rifleman the terminator veterancy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The land Matress is not that op5 Mar 2016, 03:58 AM It might be too early, as the land mattress will reliably arrive long before either the Kat or the panzerwerfer. I just think it just need to go up to 8 cp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit tier 2 idea5 Mar 2016, 03:54 AM if the intention is to make mills bomb more attractive and delay bofor, just change their side tech cost directly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic, OKW Needs the resource penalty back!4 Mar 2016, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2016, 21:49 PMHans G. Schultz It can't directly fix it, but it would greatly restrict it. schreck blob was the dominate OKW strategy back when they had resource penalty. Reintroducing resource penalty is not going to fix it. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: t34 76 now useless4 Mar 2016, 08:26 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2016, 06:32 AMmiragefla What's wrong with the Sherman aside from its higher than usual target size? It's got good speed, good fire on the move capabilities, good penetration, and HE shells to top it all off. Only issue I see with it is the actual offensive veterancy arriving at vet 3 which is where it gets the reduced reload speed. .1 faster than panzer 4 = "good speed"? http://stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=panzer_iv_squad_mp http://stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=m4a3_sherman_squad_mp the sherman is only marginally faster than the panzer4. A .1 speed and .1 acceleration advantage is tiny. the sherman did get that penetration buff after UKF release, but it doesn't stop sherman from having awful survivability. What make the cromwell actually good is not its cannon, but its superior speed and small target size. People like to say that allied tanks are more nimble and faster, but the cromwell was the first allied tank to actually deliver on that promise. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: t34 76 now useless4 Mar 2016, 06:02 AM anyone remember when the t34 76 had faster firing rate from a bug? they were actually useful for about a month before it got fixed. it's a shame that both the sherman and t34 are kind of useless. The british cromwell prove you don't need to be an expensive tank to be a good tank. In: COH2 Balance
