Thread: "Vickers is Hopeless For countering blobs" DISCUSS23 Mar 2016, 22:59 PM the vicker needs to do more suppression or be cheaper. Compared to the mg42, the vicker trade suppression for damage. The vicker would probably be fine if it's 260 mp instead of 280mp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: coh2 dps chart23 Mar 2016, 22:15 PM I've updated my dps chart with the latest patch. this include all the small arms used by infantry and vehicles, as well as the effect of the cover on tommies and ostruppen. I've also improved the chart to show dps in incremental of five meters up to 45 meters. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LOYMDi_XR7rILsk6HbAZqGihsk22t-45C_6NbQEP-m0/edit#gid=1675306803 update: added kubel mg34 updated 2: added a tech cost chart https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g5csCZt9UrVnNy-k9w8DRh1F6Rzeu7hMCLXZoxSdNRk/edit#gid=0 In: Lobby
Thread: Miragefla's December Balance Mod Additions22 Mar 2016, 01:58 AM the link for version .14 doesn't work. it links to prod.coh2.org. some of the old changes seems to have been added by the offical patches. I would tidy up the patch note and/or clean up the mod. the population change especially need pruning. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Royal Engineers are broken21 Mar 2016, 23:08 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2016, 15:22 PMrush well u have a point obviously. I mean watching him play with RE blobs highlights the fact that they are op , it's a simple start to execute and hard to counter . Even without blobbing this unit over performs for it's cost . I will agree that RE overperform for its cost, but it's one of thing that should be fixed somewhere down the road as the brits get buff. As much as the RE overperform, it's not overpowered enough to actually make the british unbeatable. sprice is an amazing player with his spam tactic, but not many people can do the things he did. It could become an issue if/when the british get buffed in the future, but otherwise nerfing the sapper now will just be another nail in the coffin for the brits. ideally, the sapper will get nerfed at the same time stuff like the vicker/UC/firefly/churchill/25pdr/etc get buffed. (although the issue with the vet 1 needs to be fixed asap) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript scaling19 Mar 2016, 07:26 AM how is ostruppen scaling compared to conscript scaling? aside from the cover bonus, the two units are pretty similar. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ideas on Bringing the UKF into Balance19 Mar 2016, 03:59 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2016, 15:41 PMSvanh a specialist tank like the tank destroyer should be affordable. Something spammable to counter armor spam. Considering the british already have expensive tanks like the comet or the churchill, making the firefly another expensive tank would be too impractical. I don't think a simple reload buff would make the firefly worth the 440 mp 155 fuel, unless it's a ridiculous short reload. There might be a room for both reload buff and a price decrease. the purpose of changing the PIAT is for countering light vehicles. I do like the concept of the current PIAT but the british need a reliable infantry back up for their otherwise excellent anti-tank arsenal. another option would be to give tommies anti-nade, but I think that's going to make the tommies too versatile. The squad is already the british's main healing unit and their main artillery unit.(since I buffed the coordinated artillery) fuel increase for the cromwell was another option I considered. It was neither a ~10 fuel increase or a pen nerf. I wanted to standardize the penetration on the sherman, t34/76, and cromwell since their guns were historically inferior to the 75mm on the panzer. right now the cromwell and sherman actually have superior gun to the panzer4, but I think it's actually the Survivability of the panzer and cromwell that make them more attractive option than the sherman.

Thread: OKW Need Some better Anti-Blob Tools18 Mar 2016, 23:30 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2016, 14:21 PMwhitesky00 That wouldn't be wise. 1 hit from the halftrack and a squad is automatically yellow. Slow as it may be, that's a huge advantage. And why would it need a penetration buff? So it can penetrate tanks too? the us aa halftrack have significantly better penetration than the okw version, high enough to be a threat against the luch and even puma. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ideas on Bringing the UKF into Balance17 Mar 2016, 05:03 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2016, 03:26 AMVuther I'd think might be better to increase the Maxim's set-up time, maybe nerf traverse a bit too instead. It's important for it to be able to dodge rifle grenades, which I'm suspecting is a key reason why all the allied HMGS but the mostly-HMG42-clone Vickers move around so fast (and of course the part where it isn't a clone is where its suppression's worse so anyone using it that ever complains about it says it gets grenaded all the time...these players aren't getting the benefit of garrison VP camping with it, of course) well, everything in there are untested. I am willing to try everything, but I want to at least give each change a chance before removing/replacing it. In: COH2 Balance
