Thread: The game slowly moves away from an historical WW2 game14 Apr 2021, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 08:13 AMPanzerKampf And slowly becomes just a "flavoured" WW2 RTS game. The latest balance patch did something more than just "balance" the game. It implemented a number of changes that are completely against historical authenticity. G43 rifle (while being similar to a sniper rifle thus good from a distance) gets changed to being good mid to close range. Really? USF ambulance now takes 2 Panzer shots to kill. Its a car, not an armoured vehicle and even so in real life, if a tank would shoot an ambulance it would go boom with one shot. I am playing this game because it is the most tactical and strategical RTS out there but also because it is a WW2 themed. All these changes and more are turning the game away from a WW2 game and into becoming a custom RTS with a whiff of WW2. I wonder if the magnificent balance team members have any clue or idea of the history of WW2 and the actual weapons, artilery and warfare being used. I gonna refute all your points by how the game was in 2013/2014 in the hands of Relic. 1- G43 has always been a close/mid range weapon that is good on the move and that it doesn't lose dmg at range. http://www.coh2-stats.com/small_arms/jaeger_g43_rifle_mp 2-I'm wondering what all other micro light vehicles HP was: Kubel: 190 http://www.coh2-stats.com/vehicles/kubelwagen_type_82_mp Sws HT: 300 M3A1: 200 Dodge WC51: 180 I think you need to start to give better examples.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback14 Apr 2021, 16:23 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2021, 14:28 PMEsxile Someone from the balance team can explain how: 1- something not particularly powerful can have been nerfed to the ground on the first patch iteration. 2- still get nerfed, I mean: it is not particularly powerful but slight nerf to its reload time. Shall we nerf all flamthrower because they are particularly more powerfull on their own vs cover. . Hey, if it was me, i would had keep the manual functionality but buff it it requires it.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback13 Apr 2021, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2021, 10:10 AMHannibal I somehow second this feeling, but I am not sure if it is actually the case. I think at this point some thoughts about UKF and USF are in order. What stock options in your opinion do these two factions have to be able to deal with the Elefant? The way I see it: USF: - ATG: If you invest muni, it is alright. Otherwise in general not the greatest counter to the Elefant, at least to to kill it. - Sherman: Better pen, but overall the higher costs than the T34. Overall I'd rather have a T34 to attack an Elefant than a Sherman. - Jackson: Better than the SU85 because quick and turreted. Plus AT ammo. Overall TDs are mediocre at best though in countering the Elefant. - snares: Only on Rifles that need to push up far. Worse than Soviet Conscripts with ourah and snare. UKF: - ATG: Slightly better than the ZiS at the job, however also more easily wiped. - Crommwell: Same situation as with the T34, although with hunt and war speed better than the Sherman. - Firefly: Turreted and with stun, but slow so it can't flank. Usable for the stun. - snares: worst of the bunch. I think Soviets have the hardest time in killing the Elefant, but the easiest in mitigating it by snaring and forcing longer repairs. This is okay in the beginning, but the problem will build up with a vetting Elefant. Instead of ramming the Elefant with a T34, I went to just driving into it. This makes the Elefant jerk around randomly and show rear armor to the front line while being unable to retreat and snarable. My T34 can still fire for the time it is alive and this allows my SUs to participate as well. It is still cheesy AF and if possible should be designed differently. In the long game, the best strategy in my eyes is to bleed the infantry first, so the Elefant will have phases of low support. If I fail to do that, I usually fail to kill the Elefant. Both medium tanks have on demand smoke. Both TD are turreted with abilities to increase DPS. RET with disabling smokes n Zooks or RE with snare + Piats are way easier to field, specially late game, than Penals with PTRS. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback13 Apr 2021, 15:52 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2021, 14:49 PMVipper The analysis is whole different ballgame my point is different. You are calculating an average on MA 15.79 because you put different weight on each game mode. If you average the percentage instead you get: 15.79+17.79+20.33+22.13=76.04/4 = 19.01 I think you are getting the wrong numbers. Not sure which % you are trying to calculate. You are mixing RA and MA. 15.79 is for MA 1v1 17.79 is for MA 2v2 20.33 is for RA 3v3. MA is 15.27 22.13 is for RA 4v4. MA is 14.29 As i said, grouping different modes popularity is bad. "I still think grouping the average pick across all modes is bad" The only reason i put average per mode is because you made a list of popularity which average all modes together. If you were to put all modes together accounting for weight, 1v1 pick wouldn't matter at all and we would only account for what happens in 4v4. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback13 Apr 2021, 14:43 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2021, 14:30 PMVipper That is another way doing it but still one read the same things RA MA are poplar way above average while AE and TS way bellow. We will have to disagree. Perception changes completely depending on how you present the data. I still think grouping the average pick across all modes is bad. If anything, the 4v4 pickrates shows the symptoms (commander) not the cause (artillery). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hull Down Panther new best TD?13 Apr 2021, 14:30 PM Not sure if it will be strong, but i can see it been used depending on map. When games goes towards late stage, with artillery nuking pak walls into oblivion and fights devolving into TDs, i can see a parked PV in a VP been harder to dislodge. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback13 Apr 2021, 14:20 PM Mark type abilities are definitely harder to use, specially if they are limited by range. In it's current form (without dmg modifier and range) i don't think it's too strong to have it removed. The sole reason to choose one over the other is IF the artillery barrage ends up been too good to have or not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback13 Apr 2021, 14:10 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2021, 13:13 PMVipper Imo it depend what one is looking for and each set of stat has it merits. For instance from this number I would argue that scores above 8 are good indication that commander is too good across all modes while number below 2 that the commander is simply not good enough. The problem is that the way you group commanders, specially across all modes, is that you can either exacerbate or hide problems by averaging all values together. Take this as how i would do it: 1v1 964 15.79% MA 868 14.22% RE 772 12.64% RA 748 12.25% LL 736 12.05% C 614 10.06% SW 524 8.58% SO 485 7.94% TS 395 6.47% AE 2v2 4888 17.79% MA 4614 16.80% RA 3637 13.24% C 3349 12.19% SO 2791 10.16% RE 2691 9.80% SW 2171 7.90% LL 1718 6.25% TS 1611 5.86% AE 3v3 5999 20.33% RA 4508 15.27% MA 3755 12.72% SO 3293 11.16% RE 3168 10.73% C 2622 8.88% SW 2466 8.36% LL 2206 7.47% AE 1498 5.08% TS 4v4 24626 22.13% RA 15896 14.29% MA 13418 12.06% SO 12893 11.59% C 12299 11.05% RE 8733 7.85% SW 8700 7.82% LL 8412 7.56% AE 6289 5.65% TS Average % across all modes: RA 17.97% MA 15.79% SO 11.39% C 11.90% RE 11.65% SW 9.15% LL 9.08% AE 6.84% TS 6.23% In: COH2 Balance

I thought it was just because of German Infantry Doctrine XD I didn't realize he wasn't using medics in general More like in the past, dunno, haven't seen him play much nowadays. It was "common sense" that you would get temp banned from his channel if you tell him he didn't had medics built way past into the match. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback13 Apr 2021, 13:04 PM Sigh let's clarify this. -Vipper's list makes a simplistic point across the board which is easy to visualize. -Though the score can be misleading because it's only based on absolute positioning on popularity and not based on amount of times put in the loadout by comparison. For ex: if a sample of A, B, C has a value of 10/5/3 for 1 mode and 50/10/3 for another, you can argue case 1 is not problematic at all compared to the 2nd case, although they would score in the same way. -I wouldn't group modes together. Too much difference between 1v1 and 4v4. I think at most you can only group 3v3/4v4 In: COH2 Balance
