Thread: USF - Worst faction in COH History25 Jul 2015, 12:25 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2015, 10:43 AMBurts I wasn't reffering specifically to you, so please don't take it personally. All i'm saying was that the 222 change wasn't tested properly. Somehow OST competed with USF just fine the previous patches, even if the 222 costed munis. And the 222 was still made, so i fail to see what you are trying to say here. The m20 makes no sense because the 222 is cheaper and counters it very easily. USF needs a shock unit early game because rifles simply do not cut it againts the current MGs. A stuart currently is such a unit, AA HT is to a lesser extent. M20 has lost its shock value. the 222 change wasn't tested properly, yes. It was added for fear that the USF would dominate the Ost with stuarts. Given the almost identical cost between the captain and the LT, the m20 becoming obsolete was inevitable. There's just no competition between a heavy scout vehicle and a light tank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets OP25 Jul 2015, 12:11 PM the t70, su-76, and the m5 quad were previously balanced with the expectation the ost/okw will have a stug/puma/jpz4 soon. Now the soviet light armor arrive too early for their current strength. The ost 222 and infantry are just not capable of facing the soviet t3. The okw are also on a bigger rush to get the jpz4 and puma out as well. The recent tech changes for the sov, usf, and Ost was a mistake. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Broken balance USF vs OST24 Jul 2015, 06:33 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2015, 05:15 AMTristan44 I wouldnt mind a mortar with USF... But seems a bit silly now if we have a mortar, the pack, and the mortar halftrack... One of those will become useless and never used again. I know I'm going to ditch the pack howitzer for the mortar. Both the Leig and pack howizter have been disappointing since release. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Enable Soviets to skip T324 Jul 2015, 05:38 AM it's not just the Quad have Amazing dps and suppression. It's the fact the Quad have good 360 degree dps and suppression while retaining mobility and reinforcement capability. The m15 and the okw AAHT by comparison lack the ability to reinforce troops and need to remain stationary to be an effective firing platform. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New sturm tad too silly24 Jul 2015, 04:26 AM I believe the ability itself can be change to obey shot blocker even if the projectile itself will go through them. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet T3 need cost increase or Ost T3 cost reduction!23 Jul 2015, 12:31 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2015, 12:25 PMKatitof No, it doesn't. For stun to take effect it needs to penetrate. It won't pen front of P4 and definitely not panthers. Blind last really short and won't even slow down the chase, you can still shoot with attack ground, unless you have wall of AT behind the corner, you're going to lose that Stuart. I just checked, the lighter "vision block damage" does actually disable the main gun(hardpoint_01) on any vehicle (for 5 seconds). Using attack ground wouldn't help here. This include the King Tiger and Pziv. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet T3 need cost increase or Ost T3 cost reduction!23 Jul 2015, 12:20 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2015, 12:12 PMJorad Wait hold your horses! Stuart is not capable of destroying a PIV or Panther. the stuart is decent enough against infantry and the stun round allow the stuart to escape from a pziv or panther. It's a bit mirco intensive but you can also use the stuart to stun a panther while a sherman or jackson get pot shot at it. I'm not sure what the "blind" effect do precisely, but blinded tanks seems to be unable to fire. edit: the vision block damaged critical on the stuart stun round does indeed disable the tank's main gun for 5 seconds, in addition to lost of sight. Everything from the king tiger to the stug is affected. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet T3 need cost increase or Ost T3 cost reduction!23 Jul 2015, 12:01 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 09:26 AMpugzii Lol. I don't really play soviets but I swear some of you are just so stupid. Ost t3 != Soviet t3. Soviet t3 is now light vehicles, where-as Ost t3 is unchanged with a great medium tank and now very powerful stug (underpriced). You cannot have Ost t3 priced similarly to soviet t3. Just L2P and be prepared for it and get a pak a minute faster than normal... or adapt and get 2x ac's if your that worried. I have had no issues dealing with it in the mod patch, it just needs preparation similarly to how you need to prepare for potencial Flak HT/Puma/Luchs rush as allies. Matching the soviet light armor against the ost mechanized is just going to end poorly for the german. The su76 and the stuart were recently buffed to make them decent even in the face of pziv or panther. Ironically the recent teching buff for the allies might necessitate nerfing the stuart and su-76 back to the previous level. I don't like the recent teching changes to the ost, usf, sov at all. It tried to extend the light tank phase of the tank when the ost have no light armor at all. Not to mention the Allies and OKW light armor were slowly moving toward a state where they would remain useful even into late game. It feels like the tech changes were designed and implemented without taking into account the recent buff to USF and Sov light tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Make Falls and Obers 5 man squads23 Jul 2015, 11:48 AM this isn't a blame game on which side is more guilty of wiping infantry. Two wrong doesn't make a right. Squad and unit preservation is one of the most unique characteristic that define both coh1 and coh2. Units that break squad preservation also break the game. In: COH2 Balance
