Thread: Urban assault company is insanely broken4 Mar 2020, 18:44 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2020, 06:14 AMMMX well it's not that RE riflenades are particularly hard to dodge, but more that you have to do so manually while your opponent doesn't need any input, besides maybe moving their squad into cover. that disparaty in micro tax is what makes the ability 'cheesy' in a way, even though it is not really op +1 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is there any chance that frag bomb nerfs be lessend3 Mar 2020, 23:08 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 20:03 PMSander93 As far as I know it really depends on the map though. In Steppes (one of the largest maps) the bombs arrived 0.5-1s later according to Tightrope's test. But we did some internal tests on the middle of Crossroads and came to the exact opposite conclusion, that the bombs appeared to be dropped faster than before (at a similar timing as the pre-adjustment cluster bombs, which meant team weapons could barely escape it) and that the plane's speed might need to be reduced. We had hoped for more playtests to give us a better picture (instead of all this speculation), but we might have to wait for the "live tests" to make further adjustments. I think that it been directional makes it easier to dodge compared to cluster bombs. But if the tests on smaller maps throws out that the bomb drop is faster i think that once the patch is out, no one is gonna complain at all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 19:40 PM The problem with this is that this is coding a completely different idea rather than just changing certain values. So as i don't see "overdrive" skill shot been possible (or adding smoke to T85) i would just make small adjustments to the current ram mechanic. Basically: -Remove the odd chances (5%?) of main gun destroyed on enemy tank. -If pen, the enemy tank get's engine damage unless it's low in health which would proc heavy engine damage. I don't think we can have localised criticals occuring based on hit location (which would be good for having main gun destroyed for frontal ram at low health or heavy engine damage from rear) -Reducing the penalties for T34 when doing so at a higher health condition.

Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 19:33 PM Old post: Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2019, 15:44 PMelchino7 My idea for ram: -It no longer requires to have an enemy in LoS or to target it. -Vehicle just goes forward at an increased speed (it can't steer) for a reduced amount of time. -If it doesn't collide with a vehicle, it receives the same debuffs as of now (engine overdrive which results in momentary speed lost). If it collides with a support weapon or building, it stops with same debuff. When it rams an enemy vehicle it checks for the following: -Always proc the stun crit. Double the time the T34 is stunned. -Removed main gun destroy small chance for the enemy vehicle. -Engine damage/Heavy engine damage depends strictly on HP of enemy vehicle. If HP is >25% (same HP threshold to trigger main gun destroyed through normal dmg) after ram, it's a heavy engine dmg. If higher, it's engine dmg. If it penetrates. -Same for the crits on the T34. 480HP >= (basically full health T76 or 1 hit T85), heavy engine damage, turret lock. 320HP >= Immobilize >320HP Immobilize + Main gun destroy. Added: reduce the penalty on engine overdrive. Right now the tank stays immobile after failing to connect with a vehicle for a couple of seconds and the speed debuff is equivalent to engine damage. So the speed should be higher. In: Lobby
Thread: Is there any chance that frag bomb nerfs be lessend3 Mar 2020, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 18:54 PMEtherealDragon Frag bombs aren't really a nerf but more of an adjustment that brings them in line with other off maps to give you enough of a delay to respond. I don't know how you nerf their potency when they are SO reliable at wiping when they connect when compared to Light Arty or Railway. It arrives like 1s slower in the middle of the map as well as not been a dead sentence to anything in the borders. If it's planned to have EXACTLY equal performance on middle of the map, it might probably need a slightly higher speed. If anything i consider this a pseudo experimental change which could then apply to all other air offmap as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the T70 OP?3 Mar 2020, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 18:53 PMDoomlord52 I had to test this to believe it, but you're both right. The Teller does 1-shot a T70, and the Riegel, which I was thinking of in my previous post, does slightly less damage (360-380?). I seem to have had the two confused for years. My assumption had always been that the doc-locked, LV-deployed, heavy anti-tank mine was more powerful. The followup questions would then be: Why does the tooltip call it the "Riegel-43 heavy anti-tank mine" if it does less damage, and why does it cost the same as the normal Teller? Because engine damage =/= immobilise In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IL2 AT rocket strafe3 Mar 2020, 19:01 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 07:53 AMSuperHansFan The doctrine doesn't need anymore nerfs until it's mobile defense 2.0 CoH2 will always have cheese, think of CoH like a ham and cheese sub, cheese in part is what makes the sandwich (CoH2) delicious (fun) and will always be there. The hard part is just keeping the balance so the cheese doesn't melt everywhere overpowering the other ingredients of the sandwich and ruining your nice dress shirt. As unit G says there is also IL2 bombing and overwatch AT arty. Indeed, but the effectiveness (cost ratio) and execution is not equal with the IL2 bombing strike or OW AT arty. IL2 AT strafe: 100 muni IL2 Bombing: 200mu AT OW: 200mu Time to hit. IL2 AT strafe: from border of the map 4s. Because the plane seems to track and shoot from far away. From the longest possible time on test range map 10s. IL2 Bombing: at same point around 9s. The plane has to get closer and the bombs take longer to hit. Longest time 15s. AT OW: for the first shell i seems to take variable times which is around 5s. To receive a similar amount of damage as the IL2 AT strafe, it needs to stay for ±23s on the area without moving. If the heavy tank (i was using Tiger as reference) is neither engine damage or if the ability is casted on dead center around the tank, the Tiger just survives find taking minimal damage at times. Closest comparison should be the (extinct) single AT Stuka Strafe. Cost 110 muni, takes 2s longer compared to IL2 AT strafe but it can randomly produced different criticals. On 10 attempts i got 3 engine damage and 2 vehicle crew injured. Damage varies heavily depending on hitting angle. Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 11:32 AMSander93 What we could try is giving it lower penetration (around 90) and adding deflection damage of something like 50%. That way it will still be lethal to snared/rammed mediums and Panthers (guaranteed rear armor pens and even with deflection damage when hitting the front armor the rockets should do enough damage to kill a 50-75% hp medium tank) while reducing the effectiveness against heavies by around 33-50% as most have around 150 rear armor. Essentially the same was done for AT Overwatch. But the commander will already take quite a hit with the increased SVT cost, so it's probably better to wait and see if it'll still be needed to go after the AT strafe too. This would be fair, it would behave similarly to the AT strafe from CAS commander as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the T70 OP?3 Mar 2020, 18:14 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 18:07 PMDoomlord52 While this is true, I generally don't consider doc-locked units/abilities as counters when discussing standard units. UKF's mortar situation, for example, isn't fixed by lend-lease. Tellers is the normal mine. You are thinking on Riegel mines which if IIRC do less damage than Tellers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW3 Mar 2020, 03:07 AM If after the patch, OKW has around 5 viable commanders for 1v1, i don't think the Command PV must be forced to be viable for 1v1 (not all commander and doctrinal units should be viable on all modes). Something small like critical repair might not be bad but nothing like adding heat shells (on a unit which already has mark vehicle). In: Lobby
Thread: IL2 AT rocket strafe3 Mar 2020, 03:01 AM Wouldn't it be easier to remove the "cheese" feeling of the whole Ram + IL2 AT strafe combo if we just swapped the Airborne Guards AI strafe with the commander slot AT strafe? Airborne Guards can call a AT strafe from vet 0 (remove vet 1 requirement). They would still need the current CP to unlock it. From vet 2 to vet 1, self healing. Vet 3, replace recharge time -20% with extended range on barrage by 20%. IL2 AI strafing run now moves to the commander slot. In: COH2 Balance
