Thread: July 30th Patch30 Jul 2013, 19:54 PM not released yet? ah damn... just came home from work and wanted to see the changes in action. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-85; The Thread30 Jul 2013, 12:12 PM read my post before where I listed some scatter values. SU85 has so low scatter values (angle and distance) I perdict it will still eat stugs alive. regards ace In: COH2 Balance
Thread: July 30th Patch30 Jul 2013, 07:16 AM nice to see that the StuG finally has its size reduced as intended. The proem i see is it wont help against the su85 i fear. though the accurcy against the stug has been vastly reduced i guess the SU85 will still hit it like always thanks to its low scatter values. so i think stug wont any better vs SU85. i am also missing a buff for the at-guns both pak 40 and zis-3. but all in all really good changes. all decent improvements and no overreactions. I like. regards ace In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German Sniper should be cheaper28 Jul 2013, 21:54 PM He has decent armor, 2 to be precisly. But he also has 40hp only (infantry has 80hp in general). You might be mistaken in thinking armor directly "reduces" damage. armor reduces the chance that a bullet penetrates a target and damages it. This means if a bullet is fired on a sniper it has 1/2 to do full damage or deal no damage at all. So the sniper is pretty good at avoding small arms damage, but when hit and damaged even by a single bullet of a nosin nagant he loses 40% of his health. And yes I also think the german sniper is way to expensive. Regards ace In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-85; The Thread22 Jul 2013, 22:54 PM ok, let me get your argument: That the PAK constantly gets hit by a SU85 is the flaw of the PAk itself, not the SU85s? Seriously?!? Didn't I write something about reasoning? Butmaybe you don't understand what the numbers I wrote down actually mean. The SU85, like all tanks, shoots at the crew of team weapons. Therefore it has a very very low accuracy (2,5%) at max range not even counting in cover. This ends up that almost all shoots fired are calculated misses which are fired within the scatter values towards the target. Because of the very narrow scatter angle and the low max scatter of the SU85s gun it hits constantly nevertheless. Regards ace In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-85; The Thread22 Jul 2013, 21:35 PM Normally i don't quote myself, cause I think that's simply stupid. I just want to remind you what I was talking about specificly, underlined with facts right from the game data, and what I am refering to. Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2013, 21:01 PMace4sure That Su85... no comment. It fucks me up so hard when playing Ostheer, every freaking time! I gonna have a break until a patch arrives, can't see it anymore. I just had a game where SU85 countered my PAKs... several times!! It destroyed the whole gun. In one situation there were 2 SU85s vs 2 PAK 40s at max range. Result: 1 SU85 destroyed and 2 PAks completely destroyed. The major thing about the SU85 being so powerful, despite all the legid arguments that the SU85 is so extremely fast, way too cheap etc, is that it basicly NEVER misses because of its narrow scatter. It's so narrow that it even destroys PAKs at max range, whereas the PAK misses quite alot at max range cause it has a "normal" scatter. You don't believe me? Here are some scatter values for comparing. Elefant: Code "angle_scatter": 7.5, "distance_scatter_max": 10, STUG: Code "angle_scatter": 7.5, "distance_scatter_max": 6.5, PAK 40: Code "angle_scatter": 7.5, "distance_scatter_max": 10, SU85: Code "angle_scatter": 5, "distance_scatter_max": 7.5, SU76: Code "angle_scatter": 5.5, "distance_scatter_max": 10, ZiS-3 76mm: Code "angle_scatter": 7.5, "distance_scatter_max": 10, As you can see the sactter angle of the SU85 is the most narrow, combined with a the lowest max scatter distance results in the SU85 hitting everything. It's right there, Relic, change it already. That unit is simply OP by all means, it completely kills the late game. Until a urgently needed patch arrives... Regards ace So here are the 3 situations from the game, where you can see the said numbers in action. It seems some poeple really need to see moving pictures to figure what these numbers mean. So here we go: http://www.twitch.tv/ace4sure/c/2617304 http://www.twitch.tv/ace4sure/c/2617313 http://www.twitch.tv/ace4sure/c/2617331 Ah and by the way, don't try ever call me a fanboy or alike. You would just make a fool out of yourself. I am through and through a rationalist and only distinct reasoning is what I am aiming for (which doesn't mean I always hit that aim or that I am infallible). But facts over feelings if you wanna call it that way. So please... when I spent my time and post stuff like that numbers and such, and really try to help balancing the game, don't simply walk by and shatter your "bias" and "Ost fanboi" shoutings around. Feel free to argument against my elobaration, but at least do it with the same reasonsing and hard facts and nothing like "...but the T34 bla bla bla". Honestly, it makes you look like idiots. And only the right people will feel adressed right now. That's my 20cent. Regards ace P.S. Really Sorry for the bad quality, but did it in a hurry and no more chgances to get it better with twitch and 1Mbit upload. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Panzerwerfer sound/tier20 Jul 2013, 14:39 PM I agree with Nullist. I felt that way many times, that I am missing some sort of artillery at that point. Does anyone een know the reason why the Panzerwerfer was swapped to Tier 4? And which unit got swapped on Tier 3? Ostwind? Regards ace In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T-34/76 feels plain pathetic 20 Jul 2013, 11:45 AM That's your opinion. Fact is you got to work with what you got. Fielding a T34, which comes relativly early, counters all german light vehicles with ease and means also a big threat for infantry. So you force your enemy to spent resources to get a proper counter (I would go for a StuG or PzIV if I have the resources). Sitting there thinking "I just pump out more T34s to win" is the wrong approach in my eyes. You KNOW the enemy will react to the T34 so take as much advantage of its presence as possible and start preparing yourself for the counter by getting AT guns or SU85 for example. At least that's my thinking process to this. There are no "Eierlegende-Woll-Milch-Säue" as we germans say (cept for the SU85 maybe ) Regards ace In: COH2 Balance
