Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview13 Sep 2018, 00:55 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2018, 17:35 PMLoopDloop Lol. I still to this day wish that was a part of the live game. It’d fix so many problems pertaining to indirect fire and countering it as brits. It would indeed be an improvement. I always liked the idea and thought it had merit enough to deserve being tested in an official capacity. Another method could build on the whole point that British emplacements are also garrisons. Reduce the cost of emplacements by about 210-280mp. Disable all weapon functionality until garrisoned. Remove all popcap from emplacements. The extra abilities from being garrisoned could be handled by: adding another garrison slot and require a second squad, or incorporate them into vet bonuses for the emplacement. Know how vehicle crew vet imparts vet onto the vehicle they're crewing? Same deal for emplacements. Maybe they could have magic passwords, or maybe they could be stolen. That's how I always thought British emplacements should work in this damned universe where they absolutely for some unknown reason HAVE to have emplacements. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Churchill tank is the most OP unit ingame11 Sep 2018, 20:40 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2018, 19:17 PMthekingsown10 the conclusion is that something needs to be done about the Churchill as it is to much of a jack of all trades. 1. Its armour is super high 2. It's hp is rediculous 3. It is great vs infantry 4. It is great vs tanks 5. It's cheap as peanuts for its performance. 6. It has smoke so even after surviving 12 shots it can just disappear. 7. It has no limit and can be built unlimited times. Its literally a medium sized king tiger with smoke. Only the 1st and 2nd points have strong merit. The rest are rather subjective and churchills are certainly no KT. Especially in damage output. But their armor along with their incredible HP pool is worth noting. While the front armor for the churchill is only 240, it is 290 for the AVRE and Croc. However, the former has 1400 health and the latter two only 1080. Mixing them up ingame can highly skew your opinions: the variants will bounce shots, the stock version won't as much. However, they all have a rear armor of 180. I don't think there's a single unit that has as much rear armor except perhaps KV tanks. As a result, Churchills often become a trap for flanking maneuvers. (Its rear armor is as strong as P4 front armor.) Instead they are much more easily dealt with by head-on brute force, like most post-EFA designs. Ironically, OKW is probably the least equipped to deal with Churchills since all their capable AT is in their flakHQ. As a result the unit itself does more to dictate your opponent's strategy than your own, which is probably the most consistently frustrating thing about the whole British faction. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Alternate Settings for Future CoH Games11 Sep 2018, 13:58 PM WW2: Axis Vs Allies. "Axis" faction versus "Allies" factions. Unit composition and flavor consisting of the respective associated powers. "Allies" could potentially include USSR, but I think it'd be more ideal to utilize USSR in a more ahistorical setting: Allies v Axis v Comintern, strictly in the spirit of gameplay options. (A sort of 1945-46 FFA scenario, even? Those closing days of the war saw the allies drawing closer to conflict with the soviets and germans fighting germans, etc). A max of three factions to balance, ideally just two. Alternatively, I think another ideal setting for CoH is still WW2, but with an isolated Western Front (USA/UK v Germany/Italy) an Eastern Front (USSR v Germany) and even an isolated Pacific Front (ANZAC/USA v Japan). As long as the factions are restricted to their theatres/time periods we could actually have all the major powers in play without bloating the number of factions or risking an unbalanced landscape.

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch9 Sep 2018, 15:50 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2018, 13:26 PMKatitof Single M-42 will never be a threat to mediums even if it had 500 penetration, however 2 of them should be able to tackle it, because AT is the only thing the unit can do and 2 of them cost much, much more then single ZiS-3. Then you have got to realize that a single ZiS-3 will never be a threat to a medium. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch8 Sep 2018, 15:02 PM The commissar unit could have the ability to designate an ambient building as an FHQ. And then if you put the commissar in Urban Defense, you'd totally have the Enemy At The Gates commander this game always wanted. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch7 Sep 2018, 18:11 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2018, 08:33 AMKatitof M-42 shells were too tiny for HE to be any effective, however small canister shells were indeed used, making it a "long" range "shotgun" of sorts. Having modded this capability into the game before I've found that the t70 shell round simulates this effect as an AI tool rather well. Though I am aware of your desire for argumentation in spite of any coherent position, so: In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch7 Sep 2018, 03:57 AM If the M42 were able to switch shells like a sherman and fire HE rounds with a t70 shell damage profile it would have decent utility throughout the game. Rate of fire and overall cost would have to be looked at if it had this ability. Just an idea. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch5 Sep 2018, 14:34 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2018, 14:21 PMKurfürst Stormtrooper changes are poorly thought out and poorly implemented. The only good thing is that at least in another, otherwise reasonable well thought out commander nobody seems to have used. I doubt I will use these guys, giving them MP 40s are not suited for low model count squad, which would have trouble getting close enough, that also looses its only durability buff, received accuracy at the range the MP40s work well. At this MP cost and bleed, its very uneconomical to spawn these guys anywhere behind the line. It also lacks character (basically copycat UKF Commandoes / poor man's Shocks) and abilities to work with such a unit. 3 Kar98s and 1 Stg on spawn would be a better option for both spawns and normal combat use, with the old upgrade for 4 Stgs / or 1 Shreck costing 75 Muni. The unit would have sufficient CQB firepower to spawn behind enemy lines, and would differentiate from both Grens and Panzergrens in use when used normally afterward. Essentially it would create a very versatile unit that would be still too expensive to spam, but could serve a useful to purpose in the very specialized OST line of a useful 'generalist' infantry that can specialize via upgrade. The change to stormtroopers has been iterated (edit twice now) already and miragefla has been making rounds defending the changes. Unfortunately i fear this means stormtrooper mp40s will go through to final patch regardless of feedback. Our role is only to indicate how much we like or how much we love the change. I am fairly certain it's mirageflas pet project because the unique (unintuitive) weapon profile is very much his style. In: Lobby
