Ah, that is correct. I must have missed that change. I remember the removal of offmap artillery and mortar pits in the base sector... The rationale was mortar pits had brace and the offmaps in particular I recall had to do with plane loiters and massive scale things like Air Supremacy. I agreed with the mortar pit having brace and being largely unassailable. But in the days of Artillery Cover, it wasn't easy to sort out balance with anything British. Onmap artillery being unable to be built in the base I didn't realize was included in there. I guess that makes sense though. Can't build a Pak43 in the base sector either. I never was fully on board with those changes because IMO they had to do with map design and BRACE more than anything. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Revamp concerns23 Nov 2017, 17:32 PM In what you've shown there, I feel like a Priest might be more fitting than a Pershing to be perfectly honest. It'd give that Recon Sweep a purpose. Or if the Recon sweep revealed cloaked units, as it's a sweep, not a loiter... I dunno. The commander system itself is what makes balancing individual commanders a challenge IMO. Unless that's overhauled, commander balance will likely be a moving target. In: Lobby

Thread: German arty OP ?23 Nov 2017, 00:19 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2017, 23:03 PMMarkoMKD On the other hand,when i try using Russian arty BL,i never get such a hits :/ You just need the inverse of the RNG you had against the LeFH. Seriously though, I have actually had great results with the ML-20, but only so long as the axis have all chosen commanders that can't recon and bomb the onmap. Last I used one I was able to murderface OKW medic trucks like nobodies business. The ML-20 is surprisingly ineffective against Ostheer because you don't need an artillery piece to wipe their squads and team weapons. Katyusha does everything the ML-20 can do against Ostheer, but for cheaper, as a stock option, and with more consistency. It's been a while since I've used an ML-20 now that I think about it though. Depending on how the war vs FRPs goes, chances are I won't for a long time either. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Differentiating between summer and winter22 Nov 2017, 21:31 PM Workaround for what, though? What is being impeded, or what is accomplished in differentiating between summer and winter? And for what? Players, units, abilities? I know in the UI branch there's usually differentiation for winter portraits and icons. Anyway, I wonder if the old volks panzerschreck ability still exists since that gave volks immunity to cold IIRC. There might be something in there. The rest I know concerns maps and worldbuilder.

Thread: Lost icon bug22 Nov 2017, 21:24 PM Reminds me of the glitch where a ruined building just kept spawning uncrewed raketenwerfers due to it collapsing at just the right time. I don't think I've seen that ever happen, though. Garrison collapses can create some interesting glitches sometimes (rarely). In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: German arty OP ?22 Nov 2017, 21:08 PM I am assuming you mean the onmap, built artillery? And you said german, but i believe both the OKW and the OST versions are identical, with one being a clone of the other. Anyway, they are indeed quite powerful. It sounds like you had an unhealthy dose of bad RNG come your way. One thing to keep in mind is that they are all, I think, in rather unused or weak commanders. So on one hand the commander choice is theoretically crippling the axis player in a manner of speaking, but also equipping themselves with a tool many players are unprepared to see, let alone react to. Out of curiosity was a forward retreat/reinforce point being utilized? The closer to the front/arti you are, the better on map artillery is in its barrage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December Balance Preview22 Nov 2017, 20:59 PM WFA ruined the potential for EFA balance. Brits ruined the potential for WFA and EFA balance. Most major balance issues have originated from an EFA faction matching up with WFA or Brits. The imbalances almost all surround fundamental game mechanics (commander system, limited territory points, frps) and faction design flaws (OKWs multiple overhauls without clear direction or coherency, limited WFA access to team weapons and other tools, emplacements and brace, weapon racks and tank crews). There have only been a few instances where a unit, in and of itself, was problematic... and most of those instances were a direct result of trying to (re)balance said unit. In: Lobby
