Thread: Received Accuracy9 Jul 2016, 11:11 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2016, 10:52 AMferwiner So would it be a solution to just make all lmgs use 2 weapon slots? This would also solve the "gren terminator" unit problem that sometimes shows up when grens die and drop their lmg for another gren squad. that's one way. I would still prefer to allow tommies and rifleman to mix lmg and bazooka/PIAT. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Received Accuracy9 Jul 2016, 10:43 AM The tommies is balanced up to the point where they get double bren. rifleman is balanced unless they get double m1919a6. the Higher defensive vet is balanced if they are using the bar but they become terminators with the dual m1919a6. basically double lmg breaks the balance.

We are just saying, USF mortar shreds grens, even if kepy at long range and the USF mortar is completely overpowered. Nerf the USF mortar. even with 5 men squad, grenadiers are not going to be able to stand up to the abomination that is double USF mortar + dual m1919a6 blob. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Grenadier survivability buff - Target priority8 Jul 2016, 21:05 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2016, 09:53 AMButcher Glass cannons don´t work well in a game that is focused about obtaining veterancy on your units. Su-76 and Jackson - which I also consider glass cannons - at least have 60 range to dodge shots. Mainline infantry on the other hand should be able to bolster your forces and be able to keep up a fight. keep in mind that both the rifleman and conscript have terminator vet that significantly boost their durability. Both the Soviet and USF had significant problem with manpower bleed without those bonus. the grenadier's excellent long range firepower mean that it can more easily punish the enemy while staying out of harm's way. They don't have to dive like the conscript and rifleman do. stuff like the british mortar and USF mortar broke the balance, but the grenadier themselves are still fine-ish. Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2016, 10:08 AMjoebill Tommies don't get more expensive to buy once you get the 5th guy, and they can pack 2 LMG's per squad. If every gren squad was 5 men, and cost more, then you'd be paying more manpower and popcap per LMG you wanted on the ground. Brits don't really need to consider this because they need those tommies anyhow for medics and FO teams. You buy grens because you want an LMG squad (and a snare). You buy tommies because tommies are the core of the faction, and then you put LMG's on them because everything is better with LMG mayonnaise. the british are already paying for a 5 men squad in the beginning. The 4 men tommies are not worth 280 mp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Look to the new Chart. Germans were slaughtered.8 Jul 2016, 20:42 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2016, 16:57 PMSeismicSquall Can someone please explain how lowering the range on the mortar suppose to fix it? This thing has virtually 100% accuracy and insane damage and rate of fire, and out of all the things we want to reduce the range. Why? All it will do is make it frustrating to use. Its like reducing the range on a T0 AT gun that accidentally had its accuracy, rate of fire and damage buffed past all other >T0 AT guns. Just normalize all the other stats so that MGs don't get wiped on the first shot. less range means it can cover less of the map. less range means the ost mortar can barrage it more safety less range means that it can't cover the bofor sitting 10 meters in front of it. a ost mortar barraging a bofor is out of range of the mortar emplacement if both mortars have 80 range this means that a ost can more easily whittle down a simcity.

Thread: Grenadier survivability buff - Target priority8 Jul 2016, 09:36 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2016, 09:00 AMjoebill Was that test with or without a cost increase? Just curious. I'd figure making the squad bigger (and more expensive) would be worse in some ways, since it means you have to devote more popcap/manpower per LMG. are you trying to invalidate the usefulness of the tommies' squad size? and the grenadier should not get a fifth men. The wehr is the glass cannon faction. Their infantry get the easiest access to firepower in exchange for speed and durability. This is also why giving the uber mortar and dual lmg to the USF utterly breaks the balance. The USF shouldn't get the uber mortar and the wehr shouldn't get a fifth man on their grenadier. The most the grenadier should get is formation adjustment and Received accuracy buff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim HMG - Unreasonably overnerfed8 Jul 2016, 03:09 AM what exactly is the problem with the maxim? its DPS and suppression are both on par with the mg42. Its limited arc is more than compensated by having a 6 men squad and a fast set up and tear down. the maxim squad is as very bit as good as the mg42 squad. it's priced appropriately. In: COH2 Balance

Here: https://www.coh2.org/topic/52402/bofors But turth be told, even tho I don't like emplacements or static play, I feel like as both OH and OKW the bofors and the emplacements are now managable to take out. Removing the bofors is a mistake, as I currently feel that is pretty close to balanced. My answer to you now is the same as always. Just lower the range on the mortar autofire and bofor barrage.
