Thread: pqumsieh and his faction choice13 Sep 2013, 00:34 AM i just finished playing a game against him. he was playing german. so this thread is pointless In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG42 Post Patch12 Sep 2013, 23:16 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2013, 22:34 PMOZtheWiZARD Shock Troops have increased suppression resistance by default + they can get another 10% of the bulletin. This could be something that needs to be look at, but they're reworking bulletins now so they're ready next patch. i believe they have .2 suppression threshold just like other inf In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flanking is back!!!12 Sep 2013, 08:50 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2013, 04:18 AMNullist At a 25% reduction, if calculated as a flat hp pool reduction, results in the following: Sov: 480-120= 360 effective hp. Ost: 320-80= 240 effective hp. The hp difference is still the same, the "difference" has not become smaller. Before the difference was 480-320= 100 hp difference. Now the difference is 360-240= 100 hp difference. what? look at your numbers. the differences are 160 and 120. not sure why both say 100. those arent even the right numbers though. ive explained this like 5 times now. this is my last attempt because honestly im getting sick of this. your mistake is thinking its a 25% reduction in hp. instead, its a 25% increase in incoming damage. an 80 hp entity used to take 80 hp to kill it. now it only takes 80/1.25=64 damage to kill that entity. youre assuming it takes 60 damage, which is incorrect. that would be a 33% increase in incoming damage. the point is soviets lost more effective hp. sure, the german is now "closer to the grave" but technically it always has been because its always had less hp.

Thread: Flanking is back!!!12 Sep 2013, 04:11 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2013, 03:54 AMNullist You don't think MG42 is squishier than Maxim? @Woof: I wasnt comparing them 1v1. I was comparing the model counts of the factions Support crews. Why are Ost Support crews fundamentally squishier than Sov Support crews, with only 4/6 (2/3) the survival? And yes, the 25%dmg received change pragmatically affects the already lower hp pool Ost Support Teams harder than the nominally 6man Sov teams. It exacerbates the hp differential. .. no it really doesnt. soviets: 480-384=96 hp change. germans: 320-256=64 hp change. soviets lost more health effectively. since they lost more the difference between the two is now also smaller. it used to be 160, now its 128.

Thread: Sick/bored of MG42 -.-12 Sep 2013, 04:05 AM if you want that answer, you need to talk to the devs. thats been their design choice since i began playing in beta. hell, we even had 3 man squads then. i was so happy when we got a 4th man. personally i always thought it was kind of silly too. thats how they chose to represent the superior numbers of the russian army though. as for what we get to compensate for smaller squad size, its pretty complex. its also very hard to quantify and say whats balanced without more time testing it. mg42: better close range dps faster at suppressing at short range much faster pinning (less difference at long range) large arc slower traverse slow setup more maneuverable maxim: better long range dps faster at suppressing at long range much slower pinning smaller arc faster traverse about half the setup time less maneuverable like i said, comparing all these differences isnt easy based purely on stats. they also have to deal with different units/abilities. for example molotov has short range, rifle nade has much longer range.

You recognise that Sov Support Teams have 6 models, correct? Yes or no. Now imagine if you and I meet with our friends for a streetfight. I show up with 6 guys, you show up with 4. We agree to handicap ourselves for 25%, by tying one hand behind our back. My 6 guys are still going to fuck up your 4 guys. i really dont know where this is going. yes 4 models. yes 6 models. yes 6 is bigger than 4. but why is an mg42 fighting a maxim 1v1? with the latest suppression changes whoever suppresses first now wins this fight. this fight really shouldnt be happening in the first place though. do you recognize any of the math i did? having 2/3 the hp is nothing new. i dont see why this is such a giant issue for you all of a sudden. the mg42 did get nerfed quite a bit this patch. if thats the issue, talk about that, not the fact they have 4 men vs 6 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sick/bored of MG42 -.-12 Sep 2013, 03:46 AM ive never denied that. but did you see my post in another thread? of course the mg42 has always had 2/3 the hp of the maxim. it still has 2/3 the effective hp after the change. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sick/bored of MG42 -.-12 Sep 2013, 03:33 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2013, 03:17 AMBabaRoga My maths is correct Value of C = 0 Even tho value of X is greater than value of Y, multiply those values by factor C (in this case zero) and you end up with A (xc) = B (yc) Simple math rule, 5 grade stuff Meaning of this, you are always right with your presentation on code values, sure. Yet using simple subtracting and adding to prove complex thing such as COH2, while dismissing other factors as separate issue and focusing solely on one point, pfff. Unless you come here with complex equation that takes into account all variables, don't be so sure you have proven anything conclusively and water tight. BTW, this was directed @ Nullist. You Woof presenting numbers I have no issue with.. ha. c=0. ok you got me there. i admit, i wasnt expecting 0 or a negative number. with all positive numbers i was right atleast maybe youre a little more clever than i gave you credit for. i agree with you though. taking a few stats and trying to prove things with them is silly unless you understand the mechanics behind it. for example, lots of people went crazy over the small arms changes when they had very minor effects. so small they wont be noticed. that didnt stop people from freaking out when they saw the damage stat go up or down. i dislike this as well In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flanking is back!!!12 Sep 2013, 03:08 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2013, 19:32 PMundostrescuatro lets say all units recieve 100 damage 100.25=25 254=100 German receive 100 extra damage now apply that to soviets. 256= 150 soviets receive 150 extra damage. in theory the same attack does more damage to the 6 man squad. youre making some strange assumptions here. and honestly i think both you and nullist are wrong. its the same modifier to both squads. relative to each other, nothing has changed. first of all, you are saying each entity recieved 100 damage. right away youre comparing 600 damage dealt with 400 before even adding the extra damage. its already an unfair comparison unless were talking about AOE. ill try and explain this one more time. im not sure nullist understood what i said before. assume squads have 1 hp and pre patch they took 1 damage to get killed. 1/1=1 now they die from .8 damage because 1/1.25=.8 this means both squads have 80% of the survivability from pre patch. or if you want to think about it another way. soviet weapon teams used to have 680=480 effective hp. the german weapon team had 4*80=320. thats 2/3 the hp. now they both got multiplied by .8 for an effective hp of 384 and 256 respectively. still a 2/3 ratio. relative to each other, no change in survivability. now, if were talking about relative to other squads, the soviet weapon team actually lost more effective hp. 480-384=96 hp change. 320-256=64 hp change. not sure if this is what you were attempting to say undostrescuatro In: COH2 Gameplay
