Thread: Opinion on the "new" USF mortar?13 Apr 2017, 00:30 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2017, 12:01 PMCafo Im not sure why you wouldnt just make usf mortar a copy of soviet one.... FTFY. its not like a t0 mortar is game breaking.. T0 AT gun isnt gamebreaking.. USF needs to go cpt for one...or go a useless doctrine.. The mortar actually was game breaking at worst and imbalanced at best. T0 AT gun is not gamebreaking, but it really undermines the importance of teching making it awkward. Or maybe you could just move its range bonus vet to 2 or something. It could use some love.. the range is a joke also... a mortar without range just seems so stupid to me lmao.. even if the accuracy completely goes to shit it should still achieve greater range. Alternately, it could've feasibly stayed exactly the same, but been put into LT tier. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sustained Fire: New Maxim Ability 13 Apr 2017, 00:11 AM It makes me wonder how the new maxim would've functioned with Sprint. It might've actually been appropriate. Hard to tell. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscripts y u so bad12 Apr 2017, 23:39 PM Conscripts could switch to a normal grenade animation for molotovs at vet 2 or something as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts y u so bad12 Apr 2017, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2017, 12:08 PMelchino7 QOL: Balance -Merge AT nades and Molotov upgrade. Idea i can get behind without much complain or foreseeing issues. This also opens up a slot in case an upgrade wants to be implemented on HQ. Opens up another conscript upgrade... but it could also be a new upgrade that unlocks satchels on penals and demo charges on combat engies. Demolitions package. 30 fuelish. What we all should have in mind, is not making Volks STG44 2.0 with conscripts. That depends volks stgs 1.0 was problematic to begin with. It doesnt have to be this way, but it unfortunately is. Exchange volks rifles for mp40s along with or instead of the stgs would be key. Then it may not be a disaster to approach cons in this sense. That said, if cons get a global x3 ppsh upgrade, then commanders could retain the muni x3 ppsh to either get cons ppsh earlier or to make them like poor man's shock troops with 6 ppsh.

Thread: Penals have no counters12 Apr 2017, 19:21 PM The AT satchel is less an AT ability and more of a deterrent to axis vehicles just parking on them. Because the penals used to lack any AT this was deemed a problem. Soviet T1 openings had to completely shut down axis to prevent being rushed with luchs or flame hts. This was somewhat achievable especially when they could get flamethrowers and be backed up by guards. That whole strategy was explicitly targeted for the patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim setup time is too ridicious12 Apr 2017, 03:59 AM Oh man Nullist. Thems was the days. Blast from the past with this necromancy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Please, please put in more automatch 4v4 maps12 Apr 2017, 02:51 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2017, 07:40 AMcapiqua My suggestion for future is that relic allows us to balance 1 map of 3v3/4v4 and join it to the scope mod (2 or 3 months of balancing map) and ending balanced relic maps and after add 1 map of the community to that Scope mod (2/3 months test). edit: A parallel map to be implemented with the mod in live. edit2: Minimal changes how to move posts in Steppes on the island that hinder the passage. To quote Osinyagov from the other thread about 3v3s and 4v4: Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2017, 07:36 AMOsinyagov Added comparison of my favorite 4v4 map from vCoH and CoH 2. In vCoH this map was mainly fine, maybe the best 4v4 map in comparison with hochwald gap. But in CoH 2, because of new locations of points, it plays awful for bottom side ~~And this beatiful quality of minimaps in vCoH~~ ^ This, so so much. The design options for 3v3 and 4v4 maps would be greatly improved if the variety of territory points from CoH1 were available as an option to mapmakers. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Can't afford to leave 3vs3/4vs4 behind12 Apr 2017, 02:47 AM In team games, there are times where a player is faced in a 2v1, 3v1, or 4v1 battle. Holding off 2+ players is something that cannot exactly be balanced directly. But that isn't necessarily the core of the problem. The Company of Heroes franchise has a number of features that can actually accommodate this reality: Victory Points and resources tied to territory sectors. (CoH1 also tied pop cap to territory, which was a huge gameplay component, despite people's complaints.) Suppression and (directional) cover. These are what act as force multipliers for units. A single MG with a spotter/meatsheild) can fend off 4 players marching infantry blobs forward. (But not without a spotter, then the MG gunner gets rolled.) But the part of the game where unit positioning and facing comes into play is what makes all the difference. While maps are a huge factor here, unit access, viability, and availability for each faction are likewise important. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts y u so bad12 Apr 2017, 02:29 AM Conscript merge would function a whole lot better if it reduced the squad to 1 man instead of completely removing the squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF need changues & remake commanders12 Apr 2017, 02:01 AM One could also eliminate the 5man vet 3 on REs for the flamethrower/minelaying and transfer that onto Assault Engies. Both WFA armies have design flaws almost entirely tied to their teching (or lack thereof). Making the LT and Captain not free also allows for their unique abilities and upgrades to be weighed on. This works well for the Captain as it currently exists. But I feel like the LT might need something to make it a worthwhile squad over riflemen who get AT nades with vet. Perhaps access to frag and smoke grenades without an upgrade, I dunno. That vet 3 sprint is nice though... In: COH2 Balance
