Thread: Intel/Recon - key to victrory10 Mar 2021, 16:25 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 15:36 PMVipper I would have to guess that vision start from the center of hit box which is not necerelly the same as the visual representation. IRHT is reckon vehicle and as that is should not vision of 35. In addition to cost to purchase IRHT has a pop of 5 and thus an upkeep. Having a unit laying around waiting for CD to cool down so you can spend munition to get less vision from one can get from firing flares from units is simply bad design. Not for vehicles with cost and upkeep with weapon or other utility. Reckon abilities for vehicles should be free with CD. (IRHT should probably become doctrinal with synergy with IR Panther/Vamp ST44) tulips do damage and stun there is little comparison. Not if other that do damage can fire flares and get better vision. If you ever make a thread to discuss things to tone down and they happen to be axis, vipper will spam your thread with nonsensical gip gallosh like bringing up units that should have 63(???????) sight range. If you say "hey I think spotting scopes should atleast be a muni activated ability to add some micro burden to a crazy good ability" he'll just reply the IRHT should actually have more vision than it does now lmao. Dude just derails every thread someone posts in good faith. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope10 Mar 2021, 16:20 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 00:01 AMthedarkarmadillo Simply make it so volks can actually win at range. There is really. Zero reason for rifles to be so formidable at range, and grens suffer from this as well. Combine that with giving them a standard target size of 1 might be edge enough for volks to fight them a bit more effectively. Combine with the needed volks vet rework and it may be sufficient. Maybe, just maybe, if balance team and relic werent so stubborn about moving doctrinal units to non doc rosters, we wouldnt have the issue of needing to tone rifles down without unraveling the faction. Maybe if you could build cav rifles, or rangers, or any other elite inf, you could move some of the power from early game to mid and generally have a better go at balancing. No new models are needed, no new units are needed, you only have to move some things from commander to non doc roster and balance would be a lot easier. But I know, this community would rather never do that and instead complain endlessly that no one can ever get balance right in this game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: flank vehicles10 Mar 2021, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 15:50 PMVipper I moved the post here since it off topic in the other thread. Relic had clearly given the role of flanker to certain vehicles. That does not mean the are meant only to flank or that they only role is to flank since unit can fill more than one role. Flanker units will do so and so vs enemy unit in frontal fight and will do far better if the attack from the side. They usually combine mobility and high penetration at close range. Example of this is m10 and T-34/76. Penetration: T-34/76 80->120 a x150% increase in penetration (for comparison PzIV 110->125 x113% increase M10 140->180 a x129% increase in penetration (and gets AP round on top of that.) (for comparison 170->200 x118%) Surely vipper, youre not trying to make the argument a t-34 is better than a p4 and youre surely not trying to make the case the m10 is overpowered right? Like, because if youre not, this thread is completely useless and if you ARE, then this thread is smoothbrain. In: Lobby
Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope9 Mar 2021, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2021, 17:41 PMGachiGasm Its a good thing, when you have options both of which will give you significant strength and weakness as a trade off. Lets say, if you get early nades for IS\Rifles. They will give you strength in terms of how you can get units out of cover and disadvantage will be that you delayed bolster\LVs. In this situation, volks dont have any upper hand over early USF\UKF and sandbangs is more of a nessesity for volks, rather then a chose and even with sandbags its not garanteed that you will win the engagement. I really disagree that OKW doesnt have an upperhand over those two in early game/mid. Do rifles fight well against volks early? yeah decently enough. Does that mean okw is just autolosing early game? not at all, because they have kubels, sturms and other supplemental units. No mainline should have sandbags, if you want to buff volks RA by 10% or something to compensate, go for it. But as it stands, it completely nullifies map design and other game factors that have been addressed here. It seems like we all agree sandbags on mainlines isnt good for the game or how it was meant to be played, but the hang up is happening with people that play one specific faction. To me, thats no excuse to make the game healthier, just give volks a bit better early game firepower if thats that big of a deal(which i really think it isnt, just use map cover like everyone else, yes this goes for cons too).

Thread: New Stuka Napalm is too powerful9 Mar 2021, 17:34 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2021, 07:59 AMKronosaur0s Calling Calliope doctrines average or below average, yikes! I mean are you going to tell me tactical support is a good commander? No, so probably dont need to discuss. Urban assault is an average to above average doctrine - Rifle nades nerfed on REs twice now I think, they were a fun little power upgrade for engineers but no fun allowed there anymore but lava nades on rifles are nice so ill call that an average ability - Smoke is nice to have and its probably usfs best smoke ability - average to above average ability for sure - Rangers are good but theyre not what they used to be. Use them for a mobile AT squad now mostly. I'll call this ability average as you get a average to good elite inf unit call-in -Sherman dozer upgrade is the low key great ability this commander has, fantastic upgrade for a good medium tank. - Calliope is obviously why this commander is picked and is a great unit. So yeah I'd call the commander average outside of 3v3 and 4v4 where it is a good commander. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope9 Mar 2021, 17:21 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2021, 16:00 PMSander93 They still do not scale well against Allied vetted and upgraded infantry. There's a reason no one uses double Sturmpioneer openings at higher level games (except for some urban maps perhaps). They will bleed too much past min 5 and then you're stuck with two 300 manpower squads that can't do much anymore and you're missing a Volks squad or have terrible tech timing. Moving sandbags to Sturmpioneers is a bad idea. You can't realistically get multiple of them without significant changes. You need their early game power to get an edge, you can't waste time building sandbags with them. They barely have any use for them themselves either. So your Volks are either going to be off significantly worse or you have to sacrifice the time of your most valuable early game unit. In either case OKW's early to mid game would get nerfed hard. And that's ignoring the fact that they already have too many things to do. Isn't it a good thing that factions have to pick and choose which strength to accentuate and what weakness to shore up?

Thread: New penal ptrs feels a bit much9 Mar 2021, 16:20 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2021, 16:53 PMPorygon It's 2015 again. 1st, why are you showing a 6 year old clip like its relevant to todays CoH2 and thinking it means anything? 2nd, this clip isnt even special at all. try a-moving any five squads in front of an mg and 99% of the time they will kill it through sheer fire concentration. Not only that but elchino already gave you the relevant information about how this was mostly due to mechanics on the weapon teams namely target size of the weapon and the fact that back then all models targeted the gunner first. to me, complaining about ptrs is a l2p issue, just like someone complaining about shreks. Theyre handheld AT and it does its job as it should. Use more combined arms pushes and screen for your vehicles, its a basic mechanic of this game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Random OKW in team games – blood, guts and glory9 Mar 2021, 15:45 PM Yes OKW should be able to build caches non doctrinally. Just like USF should get rocket arty, elite infantry, heavy tanks non doctrinally. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does Ostheer Puma really req 5 cp?9 Mar 2021, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2021, 15:54 PMVonManteuffel Puma should be buildable from T2 with 3 CPs. There is absolutely no reason, why Ost Puma should arrive later than OKW one. No call-in and with buildtime, it would be perfectly balanced. Actually there is a reason and its history. We already had several patch cycles where ost was completely dominant because they could get their AT light vehicle so early, causing them to have no weakness mid game essentially. Puma is too good for OST to have that early, its why its 5cp in the first place. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope8 Mar 2021, 17:46 PM The only two people vehemently disagreeing with this suggestion(thats been around for years btw) are two OKW mains. Hmmm, weird. In: COH2 Gameplay
