Thread: Wehrboos, swap Panther for Jackson?31 Aug 2019, 18:20 PM Yes, because it would be pretty funny. No, because it would be horrible for balance. Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2019, 12:21 PMStug life nooooo please don't remove pather for jackson it wuill make ostehr up !1!!1111! (secretly prepares new Jackson with spotting scopes and hull down ) It's not just this. While a spotting scoped, command-panthered, hull-downed Jackson would be a bit on the "crazy OP" side of things, there's also the fact that Axis has a better set of tools for dealing with medium/high armored units (i.e. the panther). There's the Pak40, Shrecks, JP4, and tons of heavy AT mines. The increased armor for the allied medium-TD (panther) really wouldn't help them at all, when combined with decreased range, RoF, and speed. Meanwhile, the Axis medium TD would be too fast to catch, and would out-range most allied units, short of other TDs. Basically, this would be terrible, because it would give the Jackson to the side that could exploit its strengths even more. /edit Hulldown + vet 5 command panther + vet 3 Jackson: Hull down: 1.25x range, 0.75 RD Vet 5 Command Panther: ~~+20 sight~~, +10% speed, +10% ac/de-celeration, +20% accuracy, -20% reload, ~~+5 range~~ Vet 3 Jackson: +5 sight, +30% accuracy, -44% reload (combined vet 2 + 3), +30% pen End result 160 damage 75 range 40 sight +44% accuracy 2.06-2.34 reload (I might be slightly off on this one) 439.4 (close) to 371.8 (far) pen 853.3 eHP It could take a Churchill from 100% to 0%, frontally (100% chance to pen), in 19 seconds. It would be absurdly overpowered. /edit 2 Keep in mind, it would ALSO have smoke (panzer tac) AND the bonus from the P4 command tank (-20% RD). That would buff it to 1066 eHP(depending on if/how Command P5 + P4 stack). So basically (if my math is right), an OKW+OST team combo would have an incredibly, fast, accuracy, high RoF turreted-TD with smoke, that could ALSO hull down to become one of the strongest stationary TDs in the game. I kind of want to see someone make this a mod, just to see how insanely overpowered it would be (hull down and panzer tac don't currently work on the M36). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on OKWs Flak Half Track29 Aug 2019, 19:26 PM I think the flak HT is pretty much fine where it is; I use it most games as OKW, and don't have any major complaints. That said, if we are buffing it, I'd like to see its armor increased to match the M15AA-HT. Right now the FHT is at 11/5.5, and it can take a surprising amount of damage from mainline infantry rifles (Penals, IS, Rifles). It would be nice if it was a little bit more resistant to small arms, like the AA-HT (15/10) or even the M5 (USF/SOV - 28.5/20). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion27 Aug 2019, 00:03 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2019, 23:51 PMMr.Flush My friends and I are in and out of top ten as axis. It might be more about this than anything else. Good coordination in team-games means you can (almost always) beat similar or even higher ranked random teams. I've had games against pre-made teams where I've known their exact build (because it's the same every time), have told my teammates what it is and how to counter it, and still lost easily.

Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion26 Aug 2019, 23:46 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2019, 22:31 PMMr.Flush Bunker spam becomes op when you add indirect fire to the equation. Everyone spams bunkers in high 3v3-4v4 play. I've been as high as rank ~30 in 4v4 (usually around 150), and I've never seen bunker spam. In general, building bunkers is a pretty bad idea in "high" 3v3/4v4, simply because it's an immobile MP/Muni sink that's really easily countered. Mortars, ATGs, smoke, flamers, tanks... all of these counter them really efficiently. The only "acceptable" use for bunkers (IMO) is front-line healing/reinforcing for OST, if there's no OKW player on the team (or nearby); and even then, it's very situational. I'd probably guess 9/10 of my bunkers (as OST) are in my base. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion23 Aug 2019, 19:59 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2019, 18:17 PMStug life it has retreat and 5th man for the lack of shield and 5 less range again i'm all in to make it a usf at gun with different abilities At this point, it's so close to a normal ATG. Just make it a Pak or 57mm clone, it would solve almost every problem with the unit (stealth ambushes, retreat, hitting the ground a lot, no shield, etc.). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion22 Aug 2019, 22:53 PM Am I wrong, or isn't the -20% DR actually a slight nerf for grens vs. infantry? Current Vet 3 Grens: 4 models x 80hp x 0.7RA = 457.14hp New Vet 3 Grens: 4 models x 80hp x 0.91RA / .80DR = 439.56hp Unless I'm missing something, I'm not really sure what everyone's complaining about. It helps grens vs. indrect fire and random wipes, but it actually hurts them (by 3.9%...) against other infantry squads. This is actually a really well implemented idea; it only does what it's supposed to do, with essentially zero knock-on buffs/nerfs. Also, for reference, the exact number for no HP change would be -23.07% DR. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Moving the Camera, Micro Best Practices22 Aug 2019, 04:28 AM Play in windowed-mode, so edge-scrolling doesn't work; use the arrow keys instead Really though, I just rely heavily on clicking/dragging on the mini-map. That and double-pressing control groups to focus on them. In: Lobby
Thread: Do something with the Ostheer grenade announcement19 Aug 2019, 06:07 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Aug 2019, 00:18 AMShadowLinkX37 I THINK the sound bugs and no warning queues have to do with the game code design to not clutter your ears with 50+ game lines at the same time. So when your squad says "on the move" or something, for a set period of time you won't get a grenade warning etc. That's my interpretation at least on why this occurs. Older games did not have this QoL aspect, and instead you would get clusters of information at the same time. This explains why CoH1 wouldn't have this issue while CoH2 does. It is something adopted probably within the last 10-12 years of games. Yea, it's probably limited to playing one voice-line at a time, to prevent really annoying audio stacking. That, or there's some very old "audio channel limit" issue; but I haven't run into something like that in probably 10+ years. It wouldn't be too hard to test, but thinking about it, I you're probably right. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Thoughts on removing USF and UKF Grenade side techs?18 Aug 2019, 06:16 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2019, 06:11 AMGrumpy Rather than 150/15 for the two side techs and 200/35 for the Lt/Cpt, I'd like to see the unlock for the LT tier to be around 100/40 and include grenades but not the LT. The LT could be purchased for 280 once the tier is unlocked. The Cpt tier could be treated the same way so the "free" item would be the weapon rack. This would give USF much more options without changing tech costs. That's actually an interesting idea. I'm not sure about the price, but the concept could be worth looking into. Finding the right price might be tricky, though. Too high, and it's a reduction in options, since rushing nades or LT-tier wouldn't be an option anymore, and too low, and it messes with teching too much (and gives too much for the price). My guess would be 100mp/45f, since it's only slightly off of what grenades + LT tech - LT would actually cost (70mp/50f). In: COH2 Balance
