Thread: [DBP 1.6] Assault Engineer Demo Charges deal no damage1 Dec 2017, 16:10 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2017, 16:06 PMMr.Smith Is this the same for Soviet Engineers and Commandos? Those dudes are supposed to be using the same demo charge entity now, and I distinctly remember blowing up enemies with them before v1.6. Testing now, will let you know in a few minutes. Edit: Same with (glider-borne) commandos and engineers. Could it be a side-effect of the double damage fix? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: [DBP 1.6] Assault Engineer Demo Charges deal no damage1 Dec 2017, 16:04 PM Assault Engineer Demo Charges (the real 65 munitions ones, not vet1 "Destroy cover"), from both Armored & Mechanized Assault, seem to deal no damage vs friendly/neutral/enemy units. Tested in 1.6 vs AI. Screenshots below. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview1 Dec 2017, 14:57 PM What is the reasoning behind removing Withdraw & Refit from Mechanized? The new Raid has great synergy with the commander because of the tons of light vehicles, but I thought W&R was an interesting ability that was also a good fit for the doctrine... It would be a shame if it was removed from the game altogether. Also, have you considered Combined Arms for the commander? Edit: This change is also missing from the patchnotes. Was it a mistake or last minute? In: Lobby

Thread: [DBP] Ostruppen Doctrine feedback thread23 Nov 2017, 21:38 PM I couldn't get 'Coordinated barrage' to work. I had a mortar and a pwerfer, and the officer model was alive. From test game vs AI. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [DBP] Jaeger Infantry Doctrine feedback thread23 Nov 2017, 20:34 PM Ambush camouflage is unlocked at 0 CP on the ability bar, but still requires 1 CP to actually upgrade. It's reported as 'fixed' in DBP v 1.0 but it's still true in 1.5. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Revamp concerns17 Nov 2017, 08:57 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2017, 04:02 AMMrBananaGrabber. Anti-Building Mortar Support We find that the ability is extremely map dependent and thus limited in use. The building-destroying aspect of the ability is often unneeded, as the ARE can perform similar duties with greater flexibility. To improve the abilities usefulness and effectiveness, the following changes have been made: Steadily drops 8 shells over 12 seconds at the target position. Cost decreased from 150 to 140 Damage over time frequency decreased from 3 to 1 Mortar near AOE distance from 1.5 to 0 Recharge time from 240 to 120 Is there any place we can see the notes already? Or is that from the secret corners of the forum? In: Lobby
Thread: WBP V1.3 Stuka15 Nov 2017, 12:45 PM Fragile and (relatively) short-ranged artillery is the only type of artillery around which you can try to design counterplay opportunities and somewhat interesting gameplay. If you can use mobile artillery effectively across the map without needing to leave the base or the first sector, then you will only lose it if the game is already lost or you majorly f*** up. Maybe the Stuka barrage needs to be changed as well, but I think making it (and the Calliope) more fragile is good for gameplay. And you got mines if you fear dives. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: B-414 Nov 2017, 12:24 PM I think it would be an interesting experiment to make it the only on-map artillery with red smoke (if possible). Then the recharge, shot delay and AoE could be adjusted if necessary. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December Balance Preview11 Nov 2017, 15:20 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2017, 14:23 PMA_E What do people think about demos being visible, and you have to be cunning about where to place them? Yes and no. If you mean needing to place them behind actual LoS blockers (buildings, walls, large vegetation) - I am all for it. It might become a bit too map dependent, but it would be a step in the right direction, and fit well with true sight. If you mean needing to place them behind objects so the player has a hard time seeing them from the default camera angle, then please no - that would add an arcadish element to the game similar to tank crushing, that is neither tactics or strategy. I also really dislike how eg. cloaked and burrowed units are a bit visible in SC2, so I might be biased. In: Lobby
