Thread: Blitzkrieg tactics balance issue14 Oct 2013, 22:21 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2013, 21:40 PMc r u C e I thought everyone realized by now that historical accuracy or realism isn't this game's strong point... Ex:engines work when they are damaged... There is a difference between historically accurate and out of place. They try to present a general feel. Germans have highly specialized units, soviets have versatile units. Soviets had more men and armor, so their units have more men and their tanks are cheaper. The thing is panthers, pz4s, and tigers are all seen as being pretty slow compared to their counterparts and it was the allies who were known for using faster tanks to flank German armor. It just doesn't fit. Not to mention that the German armor is more durable so why do they need speed. Especially since all the nerfs to the su-85 it just tends to be overkill. Something about shooting accurately or better vision would have been far more in line with the German faction. For lack of a better term, it just doesn't feel "Germany". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet strafe14 Oct 2013, 20:10 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2013, 19:59 PMryusei It's definitely very good but relic changed it completely. Now it's actually worth the 240 munition cost in terms of killing power but at the same time it's got a few drawbacks: 1. it's slow and shit. It takes time to circle the battlefield before even going for a bombing run. That gives tons of time to retreat 2. Germans definitely have 2 options to kill it - ostwind OR armored car. The upgunned armored car is such a cheap investment to kill the plane I would always keep one around.. The top gunners alone tend to knock down my planes pretty easily. Two or three of them put up some pretty good aa defense and they are pretty likely to be on just about any tank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Blitzkrieg tactics balance issue14 Oct 2013, 20:07 PM Am I the only one that finds this ability oddly placed. Late war german tanks and tactics weren't exactly known for their speed and maneuverability. Seems like it be more at place on the russian side or a later american faction. Maybe if the game took place in the early war period with PZ3 and the blitzkrieg advances, but not with tigers jetting around like they are light tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For Mother Russia14 Oct 2013, 04:19 AM Not sure about the exact stats, but I had a shock squad solo a pgren and two upgraded grens and wipe all of them out. It's defenetly worth it if you want to win a large infantry fight but you have to be aware of the debuffs afterwards. If I had to guess it seems to have similar buffs to the forward hq, but I noticed some extra resistance to pinning as we'll. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is the big Russian Howie a bit too accurate ? 12 Oct 2013, 20:49 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2013, 19:11 PM=][=mmortal 60? I thought it was like 180? 60 for a precision strike that can one hit kill p4s is pretty lame. I think the problem is no one seems to know how to counter it right now. It's slow to move and slow to fire, and since its first shot is innacurate it will pretty much have to announce it's arrival without picking off what it wants to. 1. If it hasn't fired in a while, make shore to keep your valuable units moving and it won't be able to get a direct hit. 2. It gets stronger and stronger with vet. Take it out as quick as possible, you will not win if you allow it to stay on the field uncontested. 3. Look out for the recon run. A shot is usually not far behind. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: An essay on Soviets and a radical proposal11 Oct 2013, 19:32 PM I don't mind the soviets being pretty much locked into two buildings. I think it makes them a pretty unique faction. The problem is that 2 of those buildings don't have sufficient veriety. Here are the good buildings: T2- MG (anti infantry unit) Mortar (anti defense unit) AT (anti armor unit) T4- SU-85 (anti armor) katyusha (artillery anti infantry) SU-76 (cheap multi role) Now the flawed buildings: T1: M3 (Antisupport weapons) Sniper (very fragile anti infantry) Penals (fragile anti infantry, minor anti defense) T3: M5(reinforcment, minor anti infantry) T-70(anti infantry, anti light vehicle) T-34(anti infantry, minor anti tank) The problem being that T1 and T3 have units that step on the others territory without being good enough at what they do different, leaving a huge hole in anti tank capability of you go t1 to t3. If there was even a unit with a minor anti tank role in T1 you could combine them with t34s to create sufficient AT capabilities. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Feature request: Pak43 radius visible on minimap11 Oct 2013, 07:35 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2013, 06:48 AMwooof well now that the patch is out, i can confirm it did recieve the buff. it has always shared the accuracy stats with other AT guns. it is even found in the AT gun folder. Welp, then i guess I was wrong. Sorry! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T34/8511 Oct 2013, 07:21 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2013, 07:17 AMNullist Id be very surprised if they dont get adjusted sooner or later. They just are rather marginal since they are only present on 2 commanders, and since they are not OP, they dont really "break" anything, so their priority remains low in the list of "to-do-things". Many possible solutions, including making them purchaseable one at a time, reducing price for the bulk purchase. I dont think there will be much stats change though, owing to it being a call-in. Makes more sense to adjust the cost/timing of it, than stats. I wouldn't be too sure. It's DPS is less then that of the normal t34. That fact alone needs to be changed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T34/8511 Oct 2013, 07:18 AM I think making it a single call-in is necessary at this point. The only thing to have to ever be called in in pairs before was the panther with the PE. That was only exceptable because they were a faction that didn't have any real armor. It doesn't really work with the t34/85 because they are more fragile. As double call in if you lose one the effectiveness is halfed and you need to call in another two if you want to replace it at all. Imagine if when your tiger lost half it's health, it's rate of fire was cut in half and you couldn't repair it more then half way. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Model 24 grenades11 Oct 2013, 06:12 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2013, 23:54 PMBirdKiller I never said game development was easy nor did I ever compare game programming to another area of programming. I merely pointed out that computationally and logically, something like this is extremely simple to program. But if something like this is really hard to program in games, then I raise my hands and be glad I don't need to deal with such difficulties. It's not about how easy it is to code something like this, but about changing an already existing and very long code. I'm a computer science major(a bit early in my education) but I know that the larger a program gets, the harder it becomes to change minor things in it. Stat changes are usually simple, you pretty much change a number somewhere. Considering the fact that many of the canceled grenades early on didn't refund makes me believe that the price is always payed up front and then it detects if it was cancelled or not. With what is suggested you would have to calculate how many units are in the squad, then adjust the price, which means the price displayed would never be right and you would still need 60 munis to start it no matter what as it probably wouldn't be able to calculate before you begin the ability. Not to mention what it should do if you cancel the grenade. It would just probably be better to just have them throw five grenades regardless of how many men are in the squad. In: COH2 Balance
