Thread: Rear armor of some vehicles needs to be reduced2 Mar 2018, 01:05 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2018, 15:38 PMKatitof You threw all of them into the same bag. I've explained to you how each of them was a separate issue that needed addressing. Considering what you're responding to, I probably was too cryptic for you then. That's just fine by me. You think its anti axis crusade, I'm telling you there were balance issues and only single one of them was related to consistency. Sure, they were all separate issues that needed addressing. They were addressed as entirely separate issues without interaction. I really don't believe in what you're asserting is my position. I think the changes that were made came from a perspective of team game environments. That was pretty explicit through the process as well. I think team game balance is fundamentally a broken environment the way core elements of the game function. As a result, I think attempts to find balance in team games have missed the realities of the greater picture that is the team game environment. Dots connectable? In: Lobby

And still the forest was missed for the trees. In: Lobby
Thread: British infantry sections28 Feb 2018, 15:22 PM I get what you're saying and you're slightly off on what I was getting at. I was speaking to the notion that the later factions have fundamental design issues that have prevented them from being improved as so desired, and all the effort to balance them is stunted from these issues. All the revamps and reworks haven't fixed things yet, just like youve said, and I don't think they ever will given how things have gone for this game. The other side of this coin is the opposition to homologous factions. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: British infantry sections28 Feb 2018, 00:34 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2018, 22:18 PMSweetrollNearTheDoor I feel that I need very few combined arms after the December patch especially as USF in the lategame, all late game AT is handled by Jacksons and skillplanes while double BARred rifles will handle most of the anti-infantry and if need be M8 spam will support them. There is no point in me diversifying my build when more Jacksons and M8s have the raw firepower to slug it out with anything when properly used. I think this is the same problem people had with the Panthers in teamgames last patch because there was most of the time no need to build anything but Panthers when lategame kicked in. Three of the five factions are designed specifically to be lacking in one area and stacked in another. They will never be able to effective use 'combined arms' for this reason. They weren't built around having 'diversity': they have prescriptive, intended play styles. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: British infantry sections24 Feb 2018, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2018, 20:38 PMKatitof Not really, because tommies: -Are not as durable without upgrade -are not as good at CQC as m1919 created squad powerful at all ranges -did not come with built in suppression(first m1919 did) -brens are ~20% weaker then m1919 -do not have vehicle snare -do not have potent nades You disagree that only elite infantry should be able to double up by pointing out how non-elite tommies are? The brens being weaker than m1919s is the only valid and relevant point there. Although IMO the tommie bren should be closer to guard DP-28s rather than split the difference with the m1919. Don't be another vipper, just because 2 units share single feature in common does not mean they should be mirrored with their limitations AND rifles can still double up on BARs. These two squads are not the same, therefore should not get the same treatment. In: COH2 Balance

Should probably nerf those 4 people so they're worth only 1/4 of a player. The difference between doing your own 1vX thing and coordinating with teammates is pretty much night and day. This is/was a foreign concept as "teamwork" and "communication" aren't variables that can be calculated in a speadsheet or edited in mod tools. So yes, I'd say that that was more or less the approach taken. In: Lobby
Thread: Rear armor of some vehicles needs to be reduced23 Feb 2018, 18:53 PM Well, people complained that they couldn't solo an opposing team in large games. Two players with a JT/KT combo were too much for a single player to overwhelm. In: Lobby
