Thread: Are they not fixing heavies?8 Feb 2020, 01:30 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2020, 01:14 AMDoomlord52 It doesn't necessarily need the range buff, but it'll probably help with the transition to 'no vet range buff'. Right now every other heavy is at 45 range, and they gain +5 at vet 2, bringing them to 50. The IS2 starts at 40 range, but gains "+20%" (i.e. +10) at vet 2, bringing it to 50 range as well. By standardizing them all to 45, we compensate the IS2's loss of a bigger vet bonus by giving it a minor buff. Also, it's just nice to have everything similar when making big adjustments. If a 45-range IS2 turns out to be OP, it could easily be brought back down to 40. I don't consider a 5 range difference to be enough to kite down with TDs. The token 5 range the Tiger got was fine when the IS2 was dominating compared to normal Tiger and it needed something to buff it. KT is extremely slow. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank Destroyer Poll8 Feb 2020, 00:56 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 23:54 PMKatitof That's kind of ironic, considering one of them said that not all units are going to be viable equally in all game modes. But an IS2/Pershing/Tiger are more iconic (popular or whatever word) than ELE/ISU/JT In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are they not fixing heavies?7 Feb 2020, 23:53 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 23:33 PMDoomlord52 Yes please. Standardize the ranges of all non-TD heavies to 45 at all levels of vet (+5 to IS2's vet 0 range). The thing is (not sure post preview patch heavy reworks) the IS2 doesn't need the extra range to work. The unit is not bad at vet 0 to vet 2, while mostly facing TD which are on the 50 range. The 60 range one is the JPIV and that is mostly an anti medium/TD. Improve the vet 1 shell range/performance at vet 2 for all that it matters if you replace the extended range. Inclusiveor the MG upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW7 Feb 2020, 23:49 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 23:34 PMdistrofio Exactly, i agree with you. Thats what i have known about T4 placement. The risk/reward balance for T4 OKW is kind of there, in the backlines, if you are brave, and in the base if you want a safe production line. No fuel points or ammo points are worth losing a tank production. Because of that i can say there is no further need to punish OKW players for its T4 placement. That was my intention to get to. Any other place beyond that is automatically punish by ATGs range, indirect fire and maybe some sneaky flank with infantry and demo charges. But the point is that there is no "risk" or it been minimal. No one considers building T1/T2 as SU/OH in the border of their bases as a risky or brave move. An opponent on 1v1 having to spend an offmap worth of munition and some more damage to destroy in order to be able to push a point is stupid. But it is also stupid how easier it is to destroy OKW buildings once you start to add more players into the game mode. This is the key issue. Discrepancy in performance depending on gamemode.

Thread: WINTER PATCH v1.17 Feb 2020, 23:40 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 23:09 PMHannibal I'm stating that specifically the 3 OKW call infantry that got reworked, "buffed" and made OP had to be changed because they were nerfed in the first place and now part of a completely different faction. I would say that SP were up to some point PURPOSELY UP because the whole rest of the faction was OP and they had "free" engineers on mechanised. The faction was extremely mp efficient. Basically the same situation pre 7 man conscript. Correct me if i wrong, but you basically started post OKW rework (either the first one or the 2nd) or close to it. PF started seeing less use once JT was nerfed and post OKW reworks. I disagree about the timeframe. It's because it's not realistic to expect to have several patches with wide scopes that talking about power creep is futile. There's really few units that got better or worst when they were in a perfect state. And units don't operate in their vacuum category. For example: Dane complains about AT guns, which are fine but they might facilitate the current heavy meta due to the nerf on indirect fire requiring more human input. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are they not fixing heavies?7 Feb 2020, 23:21 PM Also, i would consider removing the extra range heavies get at vet 2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW7 Feb 2020, 23:20 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 21:35 PMdistrofio As an OKW palyer yourself, would you describe how much risk/reward is involved on building T4 on an advanced position "to guard points"? Please dont spare any detail. I have a strong disagreeing feeling on your statement, but i might be looking things wrong. Check any of the OKW games in the last tournament. Or any high ranked 2v2 game. As a safe option, you basically just put it outside your base, just barely farther than what you would build a tier with either SU or OH so you had a farther reinforce range. Depending on the map, you cover your gimmick strat points or cutoff. Whenever the opponent manages to pin you on your base, you were basically already gonna lose. Be it your Flak been up or not. On 2v2 games, the map generally splits in half and each team "picks" a side. Most of the time fighting for a single middle VP. Depending on the map the VP on "your side" is so deep that outside of offmap calling, you won't kill a Flak HQ which is not necessarily in range of the VP point, but close enough to cover the units assaulting them.

Thread: WINTER PATCH v1.17 Feb 2020, 22:59 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 22:54 PMHannibal I do not own that commander and did not see it on twitch, so to be honest I don't have much of an idea what to expect. Can the officer camo? Because honestly that's what makes them so strong. Also it's one man less (according to the patch preview notes) and I'm not sure which weapon the officer has. If it's not a sten gun then it's 60% (+DPS of the officer's weapon) strength of a commando squad. But as I said I'm by far not the best person to discuss about this special topic because I do not have experience with the commander. Hard to say for me if this is problematic. A real commando squad at that time point would cause issues though. Vanguard Officer saw use when the "Charge" ability was OP. Outside of that, the unit itself, was not popular. The commander is another story. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: QOL AT guns- make "prioritize infantry " switch7 Feb 2020, 22:57 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 22:39 PMVipper FF has much better chance to snipe model once vetted Per shot. Most AT guns would be firing double the amount of shots or more if vetted. PD: Imagine losing 2 snipers to 2 AT guns. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: WINTER PATCH v1.17 Feb 2020, 22:53 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 19:10 PMHannibal ... Several OKW call in infantry were actually used quite a lot, pre OKW rework, mostly due to scaling. -Falls were niche but the epitome of glasscannon (merit on them for been able to rival Obers) -JLI was favoured by certain top players in some metas -PF were basically 7man Conscripts with SVT for OKW SP has been the only one who was always in a weird spot as it mostly cause issue by been strong as an opening unit but seeing later diminishing results. OKW rework basically threw everything out of the windows by reducing scaling and every single one of them saw rework later on. When you consider "main line power creep" is because you are missing the whole forest behind it. Cons late game were always bad (except whenever PPSH was OP) because everything else would pick up the slack. You can have "BAD" conscripts because everything else in the game will wipe. Remove everything that wipes and now you have "bad conscripts". Also free/5 muni oorah, cheaper molos, indestructible sandbag spam and flares. Grens could be "glascannons" because they were facing SU only. Bring USF and UKF into the mix and you have issues. Specially after you remove the equivalent cheese they had when facing SU initially. Saying Rifles were buffed because they got a slight DPS increase at close range while they also lost something as powerful as smoke on main line infantry (which also debuffed vehicles). As well as Officers no longer starting with BAR and Zook (for all that it matters, they remain to be another Rifle squad). Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2020, 21:27 PMdistrofio snip The issue is not remembering history, it's trying to apply the same design when the context and variables are completely different. More so if you only focus on a single aspect of it, ignoring the rest. What is important of history is knowing WHY a change was apply, WHAT it accomplish and WHY it did so. A somehow agile system is ideal, because that means you can apply smaller changes and correct them if necessary. Getting 1/2 patches a year means that you have to be extremely careful on what you release and the scope has to be smaller in order to not completely destroy the game for a long period of time. PD: people who complain about minesweeper don't know that you are not supposed to win every game. On most cases it ends up been RNG. In: COH2 Balance
