Thread: Royal Engineers are op17 May 2016, 10:13 AM Jump back to quoted post17 May 2016, 09:55 AMAerohank Yeah, royal engineers are indeed bit too stronk. I'd suggest toning down the vet 3 reinforcement bonus and making the sweeper take up a weapon slot. the sapper does appear too strong if you just compare unit to unit, but the british is still structured in such a way that it works. the british need a buff elsewhere (NOT the emplacement) if the sappers are getting nerfed. The entire faction is in need of bunch of minor changes, In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Royal Engineers are op17 May 2016, 01:02 AM the sapper's cost effectiveness is definitely higher than that of the pioneer and rear echelon, but it's still not strong enough to make the british faction themselves overpowered. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: (may preview post first update) okw early game16 May 2016, 02:22 AM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2016, 00:15 AMElSlayer /fixed4u On topic: We all remember old good times (right after Soviet tech overhaul) when Soviet M5/M17 shred both infantry and light vehicles like 222. OP basically wants an anti-everything unit which is obviously bad design. the 37mm on the US AAHT have 35 penetration as well, and that unit is significantly more mobile due to the .50cal back up. A penetration buff and shorter setup is not going to make the okw AAHT better than the US AAHT. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: (may preview post first update) okw early game15 May 2016, 23:06 PM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2016, 20:13 PMButcher An Anti infantry Flak HT that reliably challenges AECs and T70s - the supposed counter to light vehicles - is absurd. I would like to see a cap on Schrecks. Schrecks should get moved back to Volks. Every truck that is set up gives you the ability to field one Schreck for a maximum of three Schrecks in the lategame when all trucks are fielded. If a truck is destroyed one Schreck less can be fielded. Thus Volks remain relevant in the lategame, the Med HQ doesn´t offer zero AT options and Volksblobs are kept in control because you can´t have more than one Schreck in the early-mid game (until the second truck arrives). Also there is counter-play involved. See how that works. If that´s too strong, set the Schreck maximum to two and/ or remove the Panzerfaust. the stuart, t70 and the aec are more like generalist light vehicle. They can attack both infantry and tank (althought aec lean a bit more toward anti-tank). the okw aaht is also extremely vulnerable everytime it has to move, and its armor is pretty thin. You can actually force the AAHT to move by using mortar. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why do brits have weapon racks?15 May 2016, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post15 May 2016, 20:17 PMBanillo instead of giving mp or mp and fuel and popcap you spend 45 munitions per usage, i think it makes up for the lack of rocket arty The howizers being bad without some doctrines is an other question Calling the british howizter "free" is being disingenuous, because it's a drain on the british's munition. axis pay mp and fuel, the british pay munition (or mp for cache) In: COH2 Balance

(they are not great or bad but still an arty that can be good wit some commanders) or the mortar pit witch can cover like half of some maps with no proper counter? and i can add the best off maps in the game the two howitzer require munition to use, that's not free. The british get a munition based off map in place of the rocket artillery for the soviet and axis In: COH2 Balance

Stuart, AEC and t70 should still be able to take it out. Edit: To clarify, I think the aforementioned vehicles should be able to just barely take it out in a purely 1v1 scenario. If the AAHT is supported in any way (Sturm Schreck, Volks faust) it should win. the OKW aaht already create a no go zone for the allied really light vehicle. the current 20 penetration on the AAHT is more than enough to pen the m20,m5, or the bren carrier. the OKW AAHT have very limited mobility and extremely vulnerable on the move. It's an easy target for the allied anti-tank gun. If the USF has the stuart he has access to the 57mm. The USF AAHT and okw AAHT should zone each other out. UKF have easy access to 6 pounder. If sov have the t70 he can build the su-76. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: (may preview post first update) okw early game15 May 2016, 07:25 AM in a 1v1, giving schreck to the sturm didn't really help them against light vehicle. their presence is far too small to fight against the allied light tank. as a result, the medical truck is at a serious disadvantage against the early t70 or stuart. Raketen and faust are not enough. The okw AA ht should get a buff to make it a viable counter against light vehicle. Its penetration should be high enough to ward off the early t70, stuart, and aec. this would give the medical truck extra defense against early vehicle. I suggest a penetration buff to 35 to match the 222's 20mm cannon. I would also recommend a setup buff. 4 seconds is way too long. 3 seconds would be more manageable. the 37mm on the US aaht only take 2.13 second, and that unit has two .50cal for back up.

Thread: (May Preview Mod) Penal Batalion12 May 2016, 11:06 AM Jump back to quoted post12 May 2016, 09:07 AMKatitof And that leaves us with 250mp stock generalist infantry vs 300mp tech locked AI specialist. Just compare grens to volks to see the impact of 10mp difference. And we have 50 mp and specialist vs generalist case here. the suggestion about buffing the satchel against tank is really more about finding the justification to increase the penal's price. The penal is just so incredibly effective against infantry, but it's also the only thing they can do. In: COH2 Balance
