Thread: Looks Like I Owe Sander An Apology22 Apr 2020, 20:47 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 20:44 PMVipper What I am suggesting is the trend to make more and more powerful unit available earlier should stop and hopefully reverted. Actually I am surprised that some people do not fully appreciate the effect that changes in timing have with Super heavies being one of the latest examples. Good luck changing the timings of 222, FHT, P2, Puma, Flak HT, M20, Stuart, AA HT, AEC, M5, T70 and so on to accommodate to whatever you think it's better timing wise. More so if you plan to make all factions pay similar teching cost at equal timings. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Looks Like I Owe Sander An Apology22 Apr 2020, 20:37 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 19:14 PMVipper ... Then we will have to agree to disagree. "The investment to tech is progress to more things so it can not all be placed on the T-70." While that's is true, it's irrelevant during the early and midgame for high lvl 1v1 Mortar, maxim are not seen till late into the game. Zis gun is relevant in order to stall til the T70 against FHT or P2. M5 sees no use as a rush unit but late game to counter skillplanes. Su76 once u are so far behind that you will lose if you get your Zis circled around. Unless you plan to skip T3, while using doctrinal units like Guards or Shocks, T2 see little play early on to make use of that tech investment because then your T3 units are gonna be arriving too late (this doesn't mean that some games doesn't revolve around light vehicles far into like 20 mins in). Your plan is not to just touch the T70 cost down. For that to work you also have said that all 5 factions should had their light cars and tanks timing and performance touched as well as by your standard are too strong atm as well. IMO that's too naive to suggest thinking it can be implemented at all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger and ARVE22 Apr 2020, 20:27 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 20:16 PMblvckdream AVRE is better than ST because it doesn't have such along aim time/wind up or whatever determines how fast they shoot after receiving the order. The AVRE also has a more reliable arc so it doesn't collide with terrain as often. It also reloads on the move which is very good compared to the clunky Sturmtiger. Sturmtiger reloads on the move now... It slows down as Doom said first (misread). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2 Build Order Project: Soviet T2 Build22 Apr 2020, 17:54 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 17:20 PMAerohank I wonder if there are any viable T2 builds that don't start with 4 cons. I've been playing around with con-con-T2-maxim but its horrible against OKW, who push your 2 cons of the field with their Sturms and Volks, and then the maxim hits the field while the 2 cons are just back in base for reinforcement. On 1v1 i don't think so. Cause you will lose too much map presence. If you don't plan to get T3 up, you could try playing with an extended low tier play but in that case you should be playing OH nor Soviets. In: Lobby
Thread: Looks Like I Owe Sander An Apology22 Apr 2020, 17:51 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 17:44 PMVipper Fuel cost could go down to 50-60 and a similar reduction in performance. So that the game is not deiced weather the T-70 wrecks opponent or is lost and with it the game. The problem is not the fuel, it's the mp you have to invest in order to get it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reducing the target size of medium tanks22 Apr 2020, 17:50 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 17:40 PMShadowLinkX37 Unsure. Seems like AT guns miss a lot more than they should at max range. AT guns are supposed to be reliable IMO and not too RNG inflicted. I understand 2x pak walls were and are pretty brutal for medium tanks, but AT guns aren't exactly good vs mediums at mid-close and can be flanked a lot of times. I don't have a solution for it, but I just think maybe the target size of the smaller mediums like the cromwell is too low. I think the change was aimed towards making double AT gun stall been less reliable. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Reducing the target size of medium tanks22 Apr 2020, 17:49 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 17:07 PMblvckdream What I meant was the reduced target size in particular. Not if more mediums are used or not in general. Reason why I am asking is because I feel like this change was pretty meh. When you use medium tanks you will get blessed by RNG more often and a tank might get back to safety when before it would have been hit but you can't count on it. This is not really good gameplay IMO. It doesn't lead to more "well-calculated" medium dives or anything like that. While on the other hand it's added more frustrating moments where you AT-guns or tanks try to finish off a medium only to get denied by RNG multiple times and the tank gets away even though it should have died long ago. That's just perception and expectations. We are used to something and when changes happens we don't like it. Combined with selection bias. Just like with infantry squads running away. Something all shots connects and sometimes a squad matrix it's way to the base. Without counting scatter shots (which would increase the accuracy overall) the number of times a vehicle gets hit or not has been change by so little that people should not over react at all. Ex: 0.04 acc for pak40 (if Coh2db is right) x size 20 or 22. That's 80% or 88%. 0.025 acc for mediums: 50% or 55% when still or 25%/27.5% when on the move. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tier list 1vs1 22 Apr 2020, 17:32 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 17:24 PMGrumpy I've not claimed that in any post. I don't know at this point, but then, neither does anyone else. There was really just one very competitive series in the last tournament. With one data point, you can't calculate a standard deviation, much less make any conclusions. As people use UKF more, their understanding of it will change. Just because UKF went 0-2 this tournament final doesn't mean that the next one won't be 5-0 UKF. I've posted more about this lately because the hypocrisy and bias is annoying. When JLI's needed a nerf, it was okay to wait almost a year. Same thing for taking the faust from Falls. In this case, people aren't even waiting for the meta to develop before going batshit crazy about a hotfix. Alright it's just it's getting more common to post about a mostly best of 3 short tournament and even then just mentioning the finals lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tier list 1vs1 22 Apr 2020, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 15:06 PMGrumpy I don't think there's ever been a previous time where people used the logic that a faction is OP just because people used it in a tournament. It doesn't even matter that said faction went 0-2 in the finals, it's still OP and needs to be nerfed. It won't be "balanced" until nobody uses it again. Because something is wrong, doesn't mean the alternative or opposite is right. Both arguments are too short sighted (a faction appearing or the results of a series without analysing how each game played). Unfortunately we don't have a huge sample size where we could rely on sheer WR to analyse faction performance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2v2s just feel like an upward battle for axis22 Apr 2020, 16:18 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 11:11 AMKyle Haha yeah no thank you , totally understand your point but right now I rather stick with my Elefant + OKW combo in 2vs2 , it's boring play but it's working! I mean right now the patch I feel is almost perfect beside my personal ranting of 5 man grenadier non doctrine squad + The infantry sections feeling OP atm. Hey, you were the one who said it was boring to play 2v2 meta Optimizing your victory chances comes at a cost. Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 14:59 PMblvckdream I also think unbalanced maps are a bigger issue than factional balance. North Minsk, Kharkov, Moscow all suck and give you a huge disadvantage. This shows how much potential the game has when we can never get to the point where we are discussing map balance based on spawn or even factions and we are just stuck with allies vs axis In: COH2 Balance
