Thread: Suppression mechanic: How does it REALLY works ?18 Sep 2019, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2019, 21:12 PMSander93 It's 0.012 per bullet. It fires 17.6/16/14.4 bullets per second (rate of fire) depending on the range. So for example at mid range, it deals (0.012 * 16 =) 0.192 suppression per second. At least that might just be the base value, as other things might further influence it according to some sources. Good to know. Can I find this rate of fire stat in the attribute editor? But still, against a green cover squad this would be 1/10 (see elchino's post), so 0,0192 suppression per second, and only if all bullets hit. Or did I miss another thing here? In: Lobby
Thread: Suppression mechanic: How does it REALLY works ?18 Sep 2019, 20:57 PM Also the suppression recovery is weird. Assuming that these values are still the same in the live game or at least similar, recovery in green cover would be 5*0,008/s = 0,04/s Now suppression of the MG42 is 0,012 (see Vipper's post) per burst I assume. Or per second of burst? Well, I don't know. Still combinded with the reduced RA and suppression of squads in green cover, the MG42 should basically never be able to suppress any squad in green cover. Now the numbers might be totally outdated. But at least from that we can assume that the suppression model is way, waaaaay more complicated than just shooting at targets and adding a fixed value very time until the suppression bar is full. Or maybe there is an easy solution and I just don't see it. In: Lobby
Thread: Suppression mechanic: How does it REALLY works ?18 Sep 2019, 20:50 PM The squad size dependency is really interesting. Have there been any major chances in the suppression mechanic since the release? This finding suggests that either direct suppression is dealt on a per model basis or that AoE suppression spreads from the targeted model to the surrounding models (also of the same squad), after which the suppression values get added up to the squad suppression value. Since 7 men Conscripts have more models that eat the AoE suppression, suppression is quicker. One question though on the 1-model squads: Does it make a difference if the squad got "bolstered" or not (so one model in a 6 men Con squad compared to 1 model left in a 7 men Con squad, similar for Tommies)? Also does it make a difference if the natural squad size is small or large (for example 1 model of 7 men Con vs 1 model of Major)? In: Lobby
Thread: MG performance test18 Sep 2019, 18:31 PM Thank you for sharing and putting so much effort also into explaining the setup! One question though! Did you test on a range map? So the ranges are shoen in colored lines, which improves reproducability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bugsplat on launch, please help18 Sep 2019, 18:22 PM I'm not enough of a tech guy to help you with that reports, but I think I remember having trouble with some games (maybe even CoH2) when my disk space was very low (and by that I mean a few MB to one GB). In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Repair Speeds17 Sep 2019, 20:53 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 19:46 PMmadin2 Sappers have 6 Sturpios 8 Volks 7 Tommies upgrades have 8 so core infantries + pioneers should be roughly the same That is a bit scewed as you also need to account for fighting power and capping power. And after that the overall faction end game build and it gets very wild and speculative from there onwards. I think it's easier just to compare the engineers by themselves. Just judging engineers, I'd say OKW has the hardest time to get their stuff repaired because it's not that easy to fit in two Sturmpios as they're not useful in the late game (maybe that got better now with the patch), bleed you a lot MP and they're too expensive to just keep them in the backline. Sappers on the other hand are great units. Decent CQC until the mid game, later on you can fit them with PIATs or LMGs. Due to the reasonable reinforcement cost they can serve as a meat shield for more expensive Tommies when not on repair duty. The only downside is that they often need to go into battle since they are the only UKF unit that can snare. That's also why having two of them has become standard. So what is there to say for SOV and OST? Well, at least the engineers are cheap. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Inconsistencies17 Sep 2019, 19:45 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 19:29 PMVipper I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing but the USF had a reckon planes that could not be shot down, so maybe the difference in cost come from there. Then that's just one more issue. Uncounterable recon like these need to go from the game. In: Lobby
Thread: Inconsistencies17 Sep 2019, 19:20 PM One notable inconistency is USF doctrinal recon plane costs 80 mun, while other recon abilies cost 60 mun for other factions. In: Lobby
Thread: Remove Vilshanka17 Sep 2019, 19:17 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 04:11 AMaomsinzana Its not the map issue tho ... Tric said it was old Worldbuilding Tools bug or something like that. The map is more susceptible for bug like these compared to other maps. At this point, it does not matter what exactly causes the bug if removing the map could fix the problem as well until our editors find out more. In: COH2 Bugs
