Thread: About Jacksons13 Mar 2018, 04:08 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2018, 18:27 PMelchino7 Jacksons changes required? Start with taking away rotation, turret rotation, speed/acc. then it would just be turning the jackson into the Firefly. We are just digging a deeper grave for variety. this is why I suggested giving jackson better survivability by giving it smaller size, sight, smoke, and rotation, instead of buffing the HP.

Thread: The OKW Puma11 Mar 2018, 23:50 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2018, 09:52 AMVipper And there many differences between Puma and M36 you are proposing, both in stat and in optimum usage. Puma has TS of 18 (smaller than average) M36 of 24 (large than average) Puma has a disabling ability better suited for allowing to close in, M36 has penetrating ability better suited for sniping from far. Puma has very low far accuracy/penetration that improves greatly in sorter ranges, M36 has a rather linear curve and it get most out of firing out side the range of its opponents. I think you posted in the wrong thread. I think this post is meant for the jackson thread. The thread we are currently in is about the puma, totally not about the jackson. In: Lobby
Thread: About Jacksons11 Mar 2018, 23:48 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2018, 09:45 AMVipper You misunderstood the use of "push". TDs are there to counter tank and can not spearhead attacks like tanks do. and the jp4 is a tank destroyer. 60m range AFV whose gun is only effective against tank and lack of mobility make them ill suited for spearheading attacks. If the OKW need a spearhead tank they have the pz4, the panther, and the king tiger, with jp4 inn support. Likewise, once the Jackson got the puma survival kit and the sherman get more hp, the sherman will act as spearhead with jackson in support In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: OKW Handheld AT solution.11 Mar 2018, 23:41 PM let us get back on track. Stormpioneer currently have four job fight inf, repair, fight tank, and mine sweep. however, the Spio's fighting effectiveness falls off toward mid-late game as line infantry get their weapon upgrade. The duty of fighting tank and minesweeper is also mutually exclusive. The schreck and minesweeper should be purchasable together. This is a fair upgrade because RE and sapper can do the same with the sweeper and PIAT/zooka. The double upgrade also neutered the stormpio's role as infantry fighter since they will have lose 50% of their mp44. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen Sandbags11 Mar 2018, 06:09 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2018, 17:24 PMmondeogaming1 Thats actually a nerf to USF does any USF actually use the tank trap for their intended purpose? At the moment people just use them as instant sandbag. ironically the USF themselves lack any mean to clear tank trap aside from doctrinal unit. In addition USF tanks are much more reliant on mobility and speed. Putting down tank trap is just counter-initiative. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The raketenwerfer.11 Mar 2018, 05:41 AM I think the raketenwerfer is still salvageable as a unique concept, with a few changes. increase the crew number to five, maybe with the stock volks. decrease fire aim time from .375-.25 to .25-.125 (match pak). the long aim time make to easier for vehicle to get away. decrease setup time to 0 (match pak). similar reason as above. increase accel/deccel to 4/5 from 2.5/3.5 (pak is 3/4) increase rotation rate to 90 from 75 (pak = 75) the raketen is suppose to be a much lighter piece than the pak, but yet in game the pak is faster and more nimble overall.

Thread: About Jacksons11 Mar 2018, 05:21 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2018, 08:43 AMVipper My response was directed to an irrelevant suggestion, I never claimed that M36 can be used to push. PLS stop bringing up the Puma. Puma has very little relevance to the m36 you propose. Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2018, 10:13 AMVipper Since USF can crew repair and OKW need SP for everything you can not win by out-repairing your opponent. In addition JP4 do not push they are TDs not tanks. Jp4 can't push because it lack mobility and vulnerable to flank if overexposed. Jackson can't push because it lack toughness and is vulnerable at close range. hence the two unit managed to achieve similar tactical weakness for different reason. Their strength lie in defense/long range duel for different reason as well. This preserve balance as well as enhancing unit variety. And I'm still using the term "puma" is because they are the most famous and successful use of agility, sight, range speed, dodging, and smoke to survive. I suppose we could use DRASSS.

Thread: OKW Handheld AT solution.11 Mar 2018, 04:33 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2018, 04:31 AMmurky depths There's the lame ass "turn into not-at-all-conspicuous bushes" cloak that soviet gets with the one doctrine (tank hunters I think). All tanks can do that tho, not just the su-85. thanks you for be helpful and actually pointing out the doctrine. I found the ability in the store and checked. I don't have the tank hunter doctrine itself. Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2018, 08:39 AMVipper Check patch notes soviet vehicles can now cloak and even get better bonuses than JP from vet 0. But again this is rather irrelevant to the OKW hand held weapons. the Su-85 can only cloak with the help of a one specific doctrine. this is close to arguing on semantic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About Jacksons11 Mar 2018, 00:29 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2018, 17:21 PMZombiFrancis Through the last few patches, even proposing to test a 720 health sherman in any capacity caused people's heads to start spinning. Putting a health bonus with vet 2 and/or 3 to get the Sherman up to 720 or even 800 health was deemed to be catastrophic to 1v1 balance and therefore not even worth testing or considering. I always figured the call-in Shermans were good at 720 health, but the stock sherman should get that health at some point. I have found it strange in CoH2 that so few vehicles get any durability increases with vet, especially for USF. USF needs a late game meat shield. the rather disastrous attempt with terminator rifle and now the Jackson were done because they lack any. At this point the sherman is the last one we haven't tried, although it's not quite as simple as just giving them 160 more HP. and 1v1 strength is just a matter of how strong the faction is early game, and team game being 2v2+. and nearly every other faction get 800 hp on their adv medium. the t34-85, the comet, and the panther all get 800 hp. The ez8 and the bulldozer should have gotten 800 hp as well. As for the 75mm sherman, the 800 is a good even number in regarding to shot to kill. I don't see why they should deviate. In: COH2 Gameplay
