Thread: UKF Sniper Critical Shot23 Nov 2015, 00:29 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2015, 19:05 PMBananenheld has the ukf sniper the same health/armor value as any other? i just landed a riflenade from grens right on the head of the ukf sniper and he lost barely 30% health. can provide replay if wanted.. yes, UKF sniper have the same HP and armor as the Wehr sniper. http://stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=sniper_squad_mp http://stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=sniper_british_squad_mp Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2015, 20:38 PMiTzDusty Because you are using multiple units to protect each other? I mean 1+1 = 2. Con defends sniper, Guard defends sniper, Gren defends sniper. How is that in ANY way similar to a sniper defending itself? Katitof please. Neither the tommies nor the Sapper have at nade or an accurate ATW. the 222 can easily dance around both. Right now the british have no native at snare. Both the AEC and the Sniper require vet1 for their at snare. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: suppression and the OKW...22 Nov 2015, 09:31 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2015, 09:09 AMoakdk Hmm OKW neeeds an MG, again if you have to go flak ht everytime, it will be borring, because as allied you know what to expect how is getting a flak HT every time different from getting a mg every time?

Thread: suppression and the OKW...22 Nov 2015, 09:05 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2015, 08:05 AMRMMLz Dude did you even read the post you quoted? Back to topic. OKW needs a suppression platform, and at the current state they need it early since HMG34 doesn't do enough damage so it takes a long time to vet it. The simplest solution is to make HMG34 non-doctrinal and in HQ. If we want more flavor (especially for people who say OKW will be Whermact V.2.) you can move HMG34 one of the tech buildings, but either buff its damage or greatly reduce its XP requirement. I think the flak HT need a buff instead. The flak HT should get access to smoke by default, but the ability should cost munition as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Elite Troops Update22 Nov 2015, 08:56 AM I personally never had problem with troop training, since you do need to spend resources to use. The only problem I ever had with the doctrine was really the Tiger Ace. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: UKF will be hopeless with the new patch21 Nov 2015, 14:50 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2015, 14:46 PMLemonJuice im just explaining that even with the most recent nerfs, the brits have extremely powerful lategame, and have the tools to counter a lot of lategame scenarios. a faction's line infantry is as important to their late game as their tanks. Such a substantial nerf to their basic infantry will inevitably mess up their late game. Great late game doesn't matter if they can't survive past the early game. In fact the preview have been a major buff to the okw's early game. In the early game the volks is fun to play with considering they can stand up against the conscript and rifleman. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF will be hopeless with the new patch21 Nov 2015, 14:39 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2015, 14:25 PMLemonJuice its cheap considering the fact that you dont need to spend that much fuel as brits. you can maintain map control with LMG sections and AT guns, and getting medium tanks is actually pretty unnecessary thanks to the fact that the sections are superior to axis infantry. in 1v1s and 2v2s however its a lot more likely to get comets, but ive managed to pull off 12-13 minute churchill timings with manpower/munition only builds in 2v2s thanks to the efficiency of sections/vickers/ATguns. youll never see that kind of timing on a panther. crocodiles are even better because you dont even need to tech, rather just wait for the CPs. so if youre on the backfoot you can save fuel for a 180 fuel tank that has arguably better AI than a KT. in addition often times the time it takes for an enemy player to take out a crocodile is equal to the time it takes for you to get another 180 fuel. if you look at the costs on their own, yes, its not that 'cheap' but when you look at the cost in the context of the faction, it is not that high of a price. if we are including the teching cost, I am pretty sure that the new cost to get okw panther is as low if not lower than the cost to get comet/churchill. and the croc is a call in. the same benefit of being a call in apply to the Tiger, kv8, and IS2 as well. I also think applying the teching cost to the build cost of a unit is flawed. The panther is such a great example since the OKW and Wehr have dramatically different resource requirement to get their own panther. The OKW panther is also a superior unit as well, since it have better machine gun and more accuracy main gun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes21 Nov 2015, 14:35 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2015, 14:29 PMAchtAchter Indeed some people fail to see how misplaced the section nerf is: -Their Rifles do 12,5 % less damage -They take 10 % more damage -Volks do 20 % more damage I think people were rather complaining about the late game power of sections, not their early game power. Personally I'd leave the target size at 0.8 while reducing the vet 2 bonus from 0.67 to 0.75 . By this simply the pacing is changed and more equally distributed over the whole duration of the game. The tommies' offensive vet was nerfed to emphasize them as defensive troops. (of course, I'm biased toward the veterancy nerf since I suggested the exact same thing earlier) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF will be hopeless with the new patch21 Nov 2015, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2015, 14:02 PMLemonJuice whether or not its flawed is really subjective. the churchill and croc are still awesome late game vehicles, even with the nerfs they perform very well thanks to the fact that theyre so cheap. 540 mp 180 fuel is hardly "cheap". the panther is 490 mp 175 fuel and it's known for being rather pricey. the wehr panther might be behind a stack of tech unlock, but in the preview the OKW panther is within reach even in a 1v1. not that I think okw panther is too easy to access. I think the wehr t4 tech and t4 building need a drastically lower price. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF will be hopeless with the new patch21 Nov 2015, 13:58 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2015, 13:40 PMLemonJuice its probably to allow factions to bully the brits in midgame with light and medium armor to prevent them from reaching the critical mass that they are in the late game balancing in game phase is a flawed way of balance. beside, if the british are suppose to have awesome late game, then the churchill and croc wouldn't be getting such a heavy nerf.

Thread: Introduce caches in OKW21 Nov 2015, 13:40 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2015, 12:49 PM__deleted__ Clever USA player wont. He will gt stuar fisrt and after is stuar build he will tech bars because luchs can ruin USA day. Also it reall depend on early game too (how they fight infantry combat , if there is kubel harrasing etc. etc.) This is just pure match if both players will have 50 % of map ultimately, this is about light tank rush. Rushing for that quick light tank have become such a dominate part of the meta we are arguing over minor difference in between the USF and OKW tech. The preview okw is already so similar to the USF teching, that the only way this is going to be more balance is if the two are mirrored. In: COH2 Balance
