Thread: Upcoming updates?10 Jan 2020, 18:33 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2020, 12:09 PMSunTzu will anything come out for January?can you link me some discussion that talks about the possible balances? thank you Unfortunately I don't know, so I can not tell you something. Sander93 might be able to give more insight, I often miss some stuff as well. One thing that is more or less confirmed is a rebalance of heavy tank timing which got a bit messed up after the last patch and caused the "heavy only" meta that we currently have. Otherwise I can only send you to the forums. OST T4 was a pretty hot discussion topic where people agreed that something should be done about it. There's a vivid Panzerwerfer discussion, Ranger vs Paratrooper, SOV field HQ... It's not obvious what will be taken into account by balance team, they also have to fit their scope and be able to do it in their free time. Also Relic does not allow drastic changes anymore, so most things will be stat changes, abilities and/or upgrades etc. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panzerwerfer fix8 Jan 2020, 22:24 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2020, 18:17 PMWiderstreit I would nerf the fire-rate of Panzerwerfer too, not only because it looks stupid. As it is now, it would be OP, that is true. Edit: beside, I think it wouldn't be more OP than Katjusha, because rockets have worse stats. BUT it would punish blobbers. The hole game is only blobbing. Cancer every game showing the bad fraction and unit design. Blobbing heavily depends on the game mode, but yes I agree that rocket artillery is and should be a prime counter for mid/late game blobbing. I still dislike the idea though. The single rocket might be worse, but since they all come at the same time they annihilate everything inside the circle with higher effectiveness than 3-6 Katy rockets could. Ober the years the whole game has - fortunately - see a rebalance away from one shot wipes to more spread out damage as we could see on especially heavy tanks and mortars. Even if the CD of the Panzerwerfer would be increased, the low angle fire would still be a pretty safe wipe with no opportunity to react towards it or somehow counter it. This is in my eyes bad game design and should be avoided. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerwerfer fix8 Jan 2020, 18:04 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2020, 17:51 PMWiderstreit lol no. But I am for a Panzerwerfer-buff, give it a low-angle barrage with 70 range. That should be enough buff. A low angle firing mode would basically guarantee a wipe every time you use it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerwerfer fix8 Jan 2020, 18:02 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2020, 17:35 PMCardboard Tank That's no contradiction. It is accurate enough to fail at area denial. It is inaccurate enough to fail at its role as accurate artillery. Its performance is in between and it is the worst heavy artillery in the game. Instead of answering to the famous forum troll Katitoff, we might want to take a look at the points players are bringing up. If it's too accurate short range and too inaccurate long range, you have a perfect sweet spot in between for every situation that you need to deal with. The PWerfer is no area denial tool, it is not designed for that. For area denial, there must be some kind of damage over time, like flames or multiple volleys. The PWerfer is a long range sniper and wipe machine that takes out key units of the opponent. For this purpose is can also react way quicker than the Katy, since only the battery needs to turn which is quicker than the vehicle. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerwerfer fix7 Jan 2020, 22:30 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2020, 18:29 PMullumulu kat and caliope have a 98% wipe chance in close range since they land enough rockets in super fast time with no reaction time after hearing sound. you must predict it..and maybe than you can evade. else no chance The Katy can land at most 3 rockets before the Axis player realizes what happens. You need a decent junk of luck to wipe with that. After that, you know exactly where the rest of the barrage will go down. The Panzerwerfer is more hit or miss, but the damage done is way higher. It's risk vs reward. Also, unlike the Katy, you never know where it will hit. If you repositioned the wrong unit or your opponent won the mind game and predicted your path, you'll eat everything. If the SOV player won the mindgame, you'll still only eat 3 rockets In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerwerfer fix6 Jan 2020, 23:12 PM I think the PWerfer is mostly fine, it's OSTs T4 that is not. Make T4 more accessible and let's see how it goes from there. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW early5 Jan 2020, 11:41 AM I'd also suggest the same as baro. Go for early StGs to win the fights against Conscripts quicker. Use your advantage of the Sturmpio and the additional Volks that you have if he goes for a comparatively unmobile Maxim. Current meta is T2 with Luchs and then either Puma or T3 into a mediumor heavy tank, depending on the doctrin. In: COH2 Gameplay
