Thread: Repair Speeds17 Sep 2019, 19:09 PM Haven't checked for USF, but for the others I'll copy an old post of mine: I find (for Brit engineers) the following values: 1. heal action 1,6; 2. heal action 0,5; 3. heal action 0,525 Which are 1. base repair; 2. vetted squad, 3. Heavy sapper upgrade. -For a 5 man squad, this would lead to repair speeds of 8, 10,5 and 13,625, respectively. The smoke repair ability has a repair speed of 11. -> total speed of 13,625/squad; 27,25 for 2 squads + 11 ability repair = 38,25 OKW: Pioneer repair speed: 2; vet2 bonus 0,75; upgrade bonus 0,5; combined vet+upgrade bonus (apparently there is one, I did not know this before) 0,1875. -> Makes a total speed of 13,75 per squad, or 27,5 for two. Plus mechanized HQ repairs that I don't know about. Or approx 27 without the shady combined bonus. I don't find anything about the base pioneers, so maybe they're the same? OST: uses the soviet repair ability repair speed: 1,6; vet2 bonus: 1; (there's also an upgrade bonus of 0,3 for breakthrough package, but I'll leave it out due to doctrin) -> Makes a total speed of 10,4/squad or 20,8 for two squads. Now, post patch, OST and SOV get additional 0,3 per model, leading to a max speed of 11,6 HP/s and 23,2 HP/s for two squads. Now it's not realistic to max everything out, but you can do the maths from there yourself. To sum up, max repair speeds per squad: SOV: 11,6 OST: 11,6 UKF: 13,625 OKW: 13,75 (plus potential repair engi upgrade on T2 with 9 HP/s in total) USF: Don't know, but they use different mechanics anyway, so harder to nail down. And before the discussion takes off: Another thing to consider is the tank upkeep regarding repairs. In general, Allies have higher chances to get penned and thus need repairs slightly more often (there are exceptions of course). And then there is pop for the engineer squads. For OKW it's usually a bad idea to go for two engineers due to high cost and maintainance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relief Infantry and Rapid Consription need rework？15 Sep 2019, 18:50 PM I like the concept of these abilities, but I don't think that they fit very well into the current game. I would prefer an easy solution by replacing it with direct call ins of Osttruppen and AT Conscripts/Partisans (AT or SMG), respectively. Vippers idea is interesting but might cause too many issues regarding exploits, balance and bugs. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Nerfing Valient Assault and For Mother Russia. 14 Sep 2019, 08:48 AM No Stug, it makes perfect sense. The main problem of all these abilities is the wipe potential before the opponent can react. If a player does not have time to react and stuff just happens on screen, it's horrible design. That's why there are colored smoke grenades for every single bomb run in the game. Wiping stuff solely comes down to the DPS output, especially for team weapons where models need to pick up the weapon again if the weapon user dies, meanwhile the unit can't soft retreat. SOV don't have high DPS output with FMR compared to the VA-Fall/Volk combo. Players need to be able to react to enemy abilities, and for VA it's often not possible. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Flare rework proposal13 Sep 2019, 21:33 PM The UKF is also way too cheap and badly designed, but at least you cannot send it to the enemy base, only on the front line. It should be reworked though. SOV flares are very different (just as Panzerfüsilier flares), since they require a unit to be in range. In case of the sniper it's even a very squishy one.

Thread: Nerfing Valient Assault and For Mother Russia. 13 Sep 2019, 21:29 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2019, 21:25 PMStug life yes a good fix would be reomving sprint in combat and making it cheaper for mother russia just removing the sprint in combat would be enough without decreasing the price considering it give 1,5 more accuracy and buffs team weapons too I don't think you understood the point there: Your response to me saying VA is problematic was, that another ability would be way stronger and even more problematic. This other ability has similar function (DPS buff), but no sprint in combat. You then concluded that all similar abilities (VA, FMR) could be fixed by removing the sprint. That does not make sense at all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerfing Valient Assault and For Mother Russia. 13 Sep 2019, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2019, 21:06 PMStug life u know it's a better valiant assault with planes for recon right ? the problem is just sprinting during combat which will hopefully be removed First, that the UKF ability might be broken (could very well be, I don't know) does not at all change the fact that Valiant Assault is highly problematic. Second, somebody in this thread mentioned that the sprint in that ability would get cancelled once the units enter combat. Is that true or not? If yes, how can removing sprint from Valiant Assault fix it then? The main problem is insane damage output, since the commander was clearly designed for that. But at the moment it is over the top In: COH2 Balance
