I would really like to see commander selection information much like I can see faction selection info on coh2charts.com. It would highlight some of the poor commanders as well as the ones everyone likes. As a USF player, there's no reason for me to pick some of these weak commanders. I imagine the same with Soviet and OST players as well.
IMO, the commander system is broken but this is one step to finding what works and what doesn't. It can highlight what abilities are underpowered or what abilities a good ideas.
I try not to complain until I really notice something off. The bofors for example. But the Centaur just insta gibs anything in it's path. My AT guns get in one shot before it's wiped out. Infantry in buildings have a bout 3-5 seconds to escape before they're murdered. Retreating infantry don't have a chance. Even PIVs get penetrated by its gun.
The Ostwind is no where near as good. The Luch obviously is much cheaper but even two luch's can't destroy infantry as fast as one Centaur. The DPS and accuracy is just insane.
Yes and I guess you want that abomination in its initial vCoh prenerfed form, when it rided the base with mounted units killing left and right with no worries because it was verry fast and verry thick thick. Right?
That's the only Roo I know. It was never nerfed. It just kept riding onto Berlin killing all in its path. Some little buck toothed cousin came to take its place in the front lines.
There is usually a lot of disagreement regarding balance and gameplay mechanics. The forums are swamped with Brits are OP threads followed by Brits need a buff threads. But I think we can all agree that we miss the lovely little rough and tumble Kangaroo.
Ahhhh, the fond memories of my Tiger tank getting swarmed by Piat wielding engineers tucked in the comfy quarters of the Roo. Kill one? Not a problem, two more take its place. The cost of a Stuart with the armor of a PIV and the speed of a Sherman. What are the Brits supposed to do now? Ride on the back of their Churchills like peasants? Have their Cromwells absorb the AT punishment? It what civil world do we live in that we can't have Kangaroos.
OKW needs help next. I guess I'm a masochist because I started with USF 1v1, then switched to OKW a few weeks ago. Guess I like a challenge
But seriously, these changes are going to make life even harder for OKW vs USF. Obersoldaten and Falls need a slight durability buff, panzerjadg a small penetration buff, sturm pios should build faster. Plz chainj. Wil luv.
Pretty much, yeah. Some stat wizard might be able to tell ya more precisely, but that should be the gist of it since it halves two fairly simplistic factors to DPS, and 25% is 100% halved twice.
Awesome, thanks for the help. I have been playing since CoH since 2006 and I'm still learning Seeing the actual numbers really makes cover seem essential. In the heat of the moment it's hard to concentrate on exactly how effective are some mechanics.
