Thread: Ostheer Tech Restructure10 Feb 2020, 21:24 PM Your proposals would basically revert the previous and currently intended change for OSTs tech structure. As far as I remember, the change previous (I think end of 2018) was made to allow for easier back teching from T4 into T3. I don't know if this was a huge issue though at the time or not, and which modes were affected. I generally like option A. I never understood why OST has to do this weird double tech structure which is basically unnecessary apart from timing a couple of units/upgrades better. The job it does at the moment is only mediocre, I think your suggestions would improve that a lot. It would also slightly buff Osttruppen since they get their LMG about 2 min earlier.

Thread: Minor issue with Brits teching10 Feb 2020, 21:08 PM I think the real question should be: Are Brits behind in the CP gain? I have not played them much in the last time, so hard to tell anymore. As far as I could tell they were not lacking much, but I also never paid attention to it. If they lack behind, they should gain CP for teching. If not, then don't? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Elite Panzerschreck10 Feb 2020, 21:05 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 13:30 PMblancat Panzershrek dont need to be "elite" enough strong That is probably also the reason why we see so many single Schreck squads. Because players know that they are way too OP and don't use it because of fair play. Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 19:03 PMLago Elite Bazookas are Bazookas buffed up to Panzerschreck level. An Elite Panzershreck would be an Elite Elite Bazooka. All the Sturmpioneer shreck really needs is to not lock out the minesweeper. That's the real problem with it. First part is factually wrong. Even the elite bazooka has worse stats than the Panzerschreck apart from reload time. But even if it were true: what's the point? Obersoldaten LMG is functionally elite version of Gren's LMG which is functionally an elite version of Guard's LMG. So Obersoldaten LMG is elite elite DP28. Pls delete Ober LMG. Sorry, but I cannot see the logic here. I can see the point in the second suggestion. Still I'd like if the OKW has to make a choice here. Sturmpioniere don't scale well into the late game regarding their AI capabilities, so they would now have two no-brainer upgrades instead of one. It could fix the problem, but if we have a solution that would lead to overall better game design (like I think mine would), I'd prefer it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Elite Panzerschreck10 Feb 2020, 20:34 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 14:59 PMHannibal (...) the squads that get single Schrecks are (maybe I have forgotten one) OKWs Sturmpioniere, OSTs Sturmtruppen and SOVs AT Partisans. (...) They don't function well with a single Schreck. On the other hand, giving them two might cause other problems.(...) Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 17:20 PMHannibal What people here constantly keep missing is that this wholebidea does not affect regular Schrecks like the ones Panzergrenadiere have AT ALL. It is simply an idea to slightly buff single Schreck squads in the hope of getting them a little bit of play again. Nobody uses them in the current meta.(...) Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 19:37 PMMazianni (...) This is basically a 'buff Panzershrek' thread since every unit besides Pfussies capable of fielding Shreks is already an elite unit (...) This unfortunately sums up page two of this thread. In: COH2 Gameplay

It is simply an idea to slightly buff single Schreck squads in the hope of getting them a little bit of play again. Nobody uses them in the current meta. Also to the argument it will negatively affect team ges: Sturmtruppen come at a time where your infantry build is usually finished. Sturmpios are expensive early on, don't scale too well for AI and bleed a lot. You should actually be happy if your opponent goes for three Schreck Sturmpios In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Su76: Any chance for it to be looked out?9 Feb 2020, 19:08 PM Since I did not suggest a solution to the problem yet: I suggest what I suggested in a previous discussion about the SU76: It does not need a straight stat buff. Give it utility instead. Make the barrage cheaper. Or give it something else, even if it's the StuGs stun shot (maybe limited to 50 range). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Elite Panzerschreck9 Feb 2020, 19:04 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 17:54 PMShadowLinkX37 What? Zooks and schrecks could potentially 1 shot tanks IRL and ingame there's no chance of that. Historical accuracy means very little when regarding balance. @OP Not bad idea, I'd still like to see 2x schrecks on sturms. Don't mind him, he's just trolling. I also thought about 2 Schrecks for Sturmpios, but not sure how well it would turn out. Closest equivalent would be Panzergrenadiere (similar price, range optimum, no camo). So they'd cost 40 MP less but also bleed less. No bundle nade. But a ton of utility (mines, repairs, barbed wire, vet stun grenade etc). Depending on timing it could also completely shut down SOV Scout car play for good or bad. Hard to tell if two Schrecks fit well or if they're a bit too strong. Would need to be tested. But on the other hand the upgrade has to offer something due to the no-brainer minesweeper. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Su76: Any chance for it to be looked out?9 Feb 2020, 17:05 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 16:50 PMKatitof If there is always a better option, regardless of situation, that's a dictionary definition of lack of cost effectiveness, as there is always a better option. Vipper is right. The problem in this situation is, that compared to units of other factions the SU76 is not that bad for the price. Just inside the SOV unit composition it is completely redundant. Now you could make it cheaper since a unit should also be balanced according to the faction environment. It could help, but if you don't hit a very narrow sweet spot it will lead to spam and cheese strategies which would contradict the intention of basically all patches of the previous years.

Thread: Elite Panzerschreck9 Feb 2020, 15:47 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 15:45 PMKatitof I thought panzershreck is already elite panzershreck, considering stats vs any other handheld AT weapon in game. Nice derail attempt, unfortunately you logically failed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 5 men for OST9 Feb 2020, 15:39 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 15:20 PMVipper Glad to see that we agree. If you pick USF yes. The 50 cal is a good MG. Higher damage and more agile, but the arc is not as good. That's a trade off. But with slight rebalances I think USF could see less 50 cal play. If we compare to the Vickers though, I'd say there is still a decent advantage for MG42 although it does less damage. And the Maxim is still far away from any of the other MGs in the game. In: Lobby
