Thread: 2x panzerfaust with no engine damage1 Jul 2013, 15:27 PM Gentlemen, we have a glitch in the matrix... In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Weird bulletin1 Jul 2013, 15:26 PM It sound good in theory, but if it takes 45 seconds to produce a unit, it will now take...40. Not a game changer if you produce a single unit. If it were SC2 or AOK, then sure, but here, the bulletings don't really affect (unless some of the advanced ones were stackable). In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: German Sniper Health1 Jul 2013, 15:23 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 06:32 AMStephennJF Personally I feel the health is quite ok. Just keep it away from likely places of arty/mortar fire is the best way to start. My biggest issue with the sniper personally is the accuracy of the Ostheer sniper should really be increased, especially against units within buildings. It will provide at least another option, out of the very few viable options for Ostheer to deal with buildings in th early game. Increased? Its already at 1 (100%). It shouldn't miss, unless they are applying penalties for moving and such. I thought the Soviet Sniper team was the one that failed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German Sniper Health1 Jul 2013, 05:40 AM 80 hp wouldn't be bad. It would also mean it has roughly the same hp as the sniper team, but in a single model. We still have the problem with the soviet sniper: when you kill a soviet sniper, the sniper rifle is passed on to the remaining team member. They should either give slightly more range to the German sniper, or hands down remove the sniper rifle form the sniper team if it loses one team member (the flare ability remains, but you need to reinforce to regain that sniper rifle).

Thread: S-Minefield vs Clowncar.1 Jul 2013, 05:34 AM Warning signs need to go. There's little to no point in cloaking mines with them, we might as well put a big targeting circle on cloaked snipers if this logic stands. The trick is nifty, I have to admit, but it is a workaround to a big problem. I dont want to save 80 munitions, in a munitions starving army, to place a single basic mine, that does very little damage. I would much rather have a 75 munition shrek, and I'll deal with those scout cars in a straight, no nonesense way. 25 munitions for a solid AP mine, and a soft AT solution. 50-60 munitions for an AT mine (M8 mine or teller mines). The formula worked wonders before, there was no need to change it then and it would still work now, even if split between pure AP and pure AT. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Balance changes I'd like to see1 Jul 2013, 05:00 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2013, 20:31 PMTZer0 I agree with everything but this one: Too often I find squads getting away with a sliver of health after running from (for instance) two conscript-squads. Did I mention that the enemy squad was on a road? What about "Retreat defensive bonuses doubled against flame weapons"? I think that should solve your problem. Also, a slight nerf of Soviet mines against infantry and a slight buff against tanks would be nice. If I remember correctly what someone once said in twitch chat, retreat in coH2 only gives you an armor bonus, which indirectly affects accuracy (it could hit, but it wont penetrate as easy). Flame weapons ignore armor and have an accuracy of 11 (1100% accurate), so no matter how much you increase those bonuses, flames will still decimate you. Truth is, the best course of action for flamers if still overpowered, is to keep decreasing their reload time and or burst duration, to change the way they interact with armor in the game, is to change the entire mechanic. Too much imho. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How does armor work in CoH2?1 Jul 2013, 04:54 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2013, 22:54 PMLeeHarveyOswald This complex armour mechanic formula was one of my few complaints about CoH1. And they have not simplified things at all? i mean stuff like this ruins the visceral feel i have playing an RTS For Burst weapons: (Reload frequency + 1 ) * Brust duration * rate of fire * damage * accuarcy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- brust duration + (cooldown + Windup + Winddown + burst duration) * reload frequency + reload duration i hope they create a more simple armour mechanic for a balance patch or later expansion. It really is not complex at all. Sure, it aint a straight 1+1=2 but its not even high school math. CoH has some wonderful stuff: accuracy, suppression, critical hits, scatter, cover, amongst other things. If you want those things to work at all, then it needs to work at something a little more complex than 2 vs 1: 2 wins. You DO NOT need to calculate DPS every time to be effective with a unit. DPS is an advanced calculation to give you more precise data, but it sure as hell will not make your unit positioning, your situational awareness or your critical thinking any better, and I'm willing those three things will make you flat out better at CoH (or any other RTS) than any other thing. APM, micro and macro come with practice. In the end, trial and error is better than knowing all of the stats by heart. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscript range30 Jun 2013, 21:32 PM Well, if CoH-stats isn't wrong.... Combat Engineers have the exact same wepaon as conscripts: Mosin Nagants (the exact same variant), whereas Pioneers have Mp40's that deal much less damage (2.3) vs the mosin nagant (16). If statistics don't lie, Pio's seem to win up close, because they fire small burts of low damage. In: COH2 Balance
