In that case the amount of hp of those units becomes irrelevant. You can lose your game by losing your artillery units, but you should not assume to lose a game because you failed to take out the enemy's mobile arty, especially when playing axis (who just happen to be the one to face the Calliope). I agree that you should be able to adapt to the enemy getting mobile artillery. What kinda frustrated me with the game scenario I mention in my first post was that I had no warning there was going to be a calliope and the first 2 salvos wiped my core fighting force and changed the game with zero chance to react. That's the frustrating part. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Trucks No Self Destruct23 Dec 2015, 04:19 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2015, 01:58 AMMistah_S I see. My gripe is OKW do not have a manoeuvrable mobile spawn point like all the other ones do (and to me they seem the most mechanised of all). Kinda shite, but guess I'll deal with it The only mobile (I assume you meant) retreat point is the USFs major and the Brits ability to make forward retreat points. When you say "like all the other (factions) do, you mean only USF and UKF. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Trucks No Self Destruct22 Dec 2015, 23:30 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 22:41 PMMistah_S Why not just have a nearby hidden half track for reinforcements mate? I'm talking about hard retreat like avoiding death from calliopes or being pinned by hmg. Soft retreat to reinforce your men is a given. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Calliopes22 Dec 2015, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 22:12 PMNosliw sounds like u were blobbing against an AOE ability that's strong against infantry... it's not the game's fault. it's yours. My army was comprised from 1 pios 3 grens( all got wiped) 1 pak a half track, 2 mg42s and a stolen maxim, and a scout car. If that's blobbing then I guess you can't build any units if you want want to blob. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Wehr mortar shouldnt 1 shot full health Soviet snipers22 Dec 2015, 23:12 PM Ost sniper dies to 1 shot from soviet sniper but can take 2 mortar shells. Soviet dies to 2 ost sniper shots but dies to one mortar shell. I don't see any reason to complain. Besides, your sniper will have to be standing in the same spot for like 10 seconds in order to be hit by a mortar. That or you are walking into a barrage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Calliopes22 Dec 2015, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 20:23 PMpigsoup oh you mean 70 fuel cheap light vehicles freshly made just to go after 85 fuel unit which needs 2-4 shots to kill? or are you talking about veteran light vehicles you had since mid game? which will probably die en route or certainly die on its way out either way. No non frontline unit deserves to have wiping potential of pwerfer or calliope. health is not even the secondary stat to consider here. its at best tertiary. Im not saying it's easy to counter pwerfer. I'm saying it easy to counter pwerfer COMPARED TO the calliope. It's far easier and a lot less at stack to try to counter pwerfer than it is calli. You can kill pwerfer with artillery if you want with no risk. And I never said pwerfer was balanced either. Both need less wiping potential as you said. I disagree that survivability of a non frontline isn't important. Unit preservation is always important. Every unit should be counter able. The reason you see so many complaints about heavies is because there seems to be no counter (even tho there are). What would you say is the most cost effective counter to an armoured mobile artillery unit? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Calliopes22 Dec 2015, 17:29 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 14:20 PMBarantah Pwerfer can squad wipe with the single burst he got. Calliope will wipe but not with the first salvo (unless you're unlucky), sure it will wipe with the 3 salvos. Pwerfer counter by light vehicule ? If you let your Pwerfer being destroy AT YOUR BASE by a light vehicule, you deserv to loose it Armor is worthless, perhaps you should learn insta counter like loiter and strafe that one shot sherman. yes you do get people who will rush a cheap T70 or stuart into your base to one shot your pwerfer and retreat. Ostheer has many ways to defend against this including mines and ATGs and tanks if you have any, but light vehicles can still slip past your defenses and if they do, youve lost your pwerfer. As soviets you can also call in partisan tank hunters from ambient building to quickly finish off both pwerfers and stukas. In comparison, the calliopie will only be killed by an equivalently (nearly) expensive vehicle that requires you to first get to the vehicle, survive long enough to shoot 4 times at it (assuming they all hit) and hopefully be able to get out of their alive. I dont think i would say having to sacrifice an equally expensive unit to kill something would be considered a "counter". Stuka loiter or strafe you need the right commander, LOS on your target, and the hope that your enemy isnt paying attention. Probably your best bet but if it fails, youve wasted your munitions. If you are scared of your calliopie being killed by the 200 + 80 munitions loiter stuka + recon (which cant be called in your base) then simply hop out of your calliopie and laugh as they fly over you without firing at you (stuka loiter only targets vehicles now). Yes armor is harder to deal with on mobile artillery. Oh and the first salvo his vet 0 calliopie wiped 2 full health gren squads, the third finished the nearly out of range third gren squad. As i mentioned, they were leaving my base (they were full health. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Trucks No Self Destruct22 Dec 2015, 08:06 AM I don't want to be rude, but you are asking to allow OKW to move their forward retreat point further up because where it was to begin with wasnt good enough. Might i remind you that Ostheer and the Soviets still have to run all the way back to there base to get reinforced. They don't even have an option for one Forward retreat point. It makes maps like General Mud and Hill 331 a great big walking fest. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit hammer needs rework22 Dec 2015, 07:59 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 07:15 AMUnited If this seems crazy or overpowered to you, I would like to remind you again, that the royal engineer upgrade makes Engineers bulletproof and given an additional LMG slot and the fast repair speed . This upgrade by comparison is modest and great way to making hammer viable. It sounds like you are saying royal engineer upgrade is OP and that hammer should make your ISs OP too... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Calliopes22 Dec 2015, 06:26 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 06:07 AMkitekaze It still sounds odd to me that the enemy has 140 fuel to bring calliope out when all you have on the field is anything smaller than a p4. Its called Ostheer teching vs no teching callins. Do the math we had at least 1 fuel point the entire match too In: COH2 Gameplay
