Thread: Comet25 Feb 2018, 09:03 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2018, 09:01 AMVipper And more expensive and limited to 1. For good reasons too. which make price analysis through tiger vs comet significantly more difficult. as it is the panther have more in common with the comet than the tiger with comet, despite the role difference. This is what we have and we have to work with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry anti-tank is not sufficient25 Feb 2018, 09:00 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2018, 08:47 AMVipper The only reason JP4 is invaluable is the purpose of this thread: OKW lack a 60 range ATG or sufficient AT infantry to destroy enemy TDs. that's called faction design In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet25 Feb 2018, 08:53 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2018, 22:43 PMVipper The devil is in the details. lumping the current panther into the same group as Comet is a gross simplification at best, and a complete disregard for reality at worst. price comparison is not just about comparing verus units in your category, it also need to be compared to units in other role as well. unfortunately the panther is also the closest thing in price to the comet. The tiger is more similar in role but still way tougher than the comet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British infantry sections25 Feb 2018, 08:46 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2018, 08:36 AMVipper Your number simply do not agree with Cruzz's. DPS 0/20/35 grenadier_mg42lmg_mp 4.5/6.5/7.1 commando_bren_lmg_moving_mp 4.9/7.9/9.6 obersoldaten_mg34_lmg_moving_no_prone_mp 7.1/10.3/11.4 Bren on commandos are great. They are better up to range 11. My numbers are from Relic's official mod tool, freely available on steam to anyone who own Coh2. You can check it yourself if you doubt it. seems like your and cruzz's number simply do not agree with Relic's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry anti-tank is not sufficient25 Feb 2018, 08:37 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2018, 22:27 PMVipper The value of TD is on how it fight other TDs but how well it counter tanks. This is a gross failure of valuation Being able to establish "td dominance" over the allies means your heavy tank can fight more effectively. This is especially important in team game since the allies will be fielding their TD en mass to fight the heavy tank. Having your own 60m TD to fight back is invaluable since you don't have to risk diving in and the Jp4 is especially good for killing other TD. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: British infantry sections25 Feb 2018, 05:29 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2018, 22:39 PMVipper Ober's Lmg got doubled nerf. Now a little better than the commandos bren (around 19%) while costing more and limited to 1. and the commandos bren is the second most powerful lmg in the game, being about ~50% more powerful than the lmg42 on the grenadier. commandos bren isn't that practical because it's a side grade for them. the brens are still weaker than their sten at close range.

Thread: British infantry sections24 Feb 2018, 21:04 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2018, 20:38 PMKatitof Not really, because tommies: -Are not as durable without upgrade -are not as good at CQC as m1919 created squad powerful at all ranges -did not come with built in suppression(first m1919 did) -brens are ~20% weaker then m1919 -do not have vehicle snare -do not have potent nades Don't be another vipper, just because 2 units share single feature in common does not mean they should be mirrored with their limitations AND rifles can still double up on BARs. These two squads are not the same, therefore should not get the same treatment. in the long term it's better for the british to lose the double bren. It is an expensive (60 mu) upgrade that break the game in large game but impractical for smaller game. As a 60mu upgrade the bren is overprice, but the moment you make the price more fair people will spam it. Unless people agree to cut down on the extreme case we can't settle on a medium. People are always going to remember the double lmg blob, it is just human nature. In fact all other attribute of the Tommies are getting nerfed to hell to accommodate the double bren. The tommies now have one of the weakest veterancy in the game to justify the double bren. It is a poor way to balance the unit. and actually the tommies mills bomb is a clone of the US pineapple, with the exception the tommies can throw them at their own feet. In: COH2 Balance
