Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.026 Apr 2019, 19:25 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2019, 13:06 PMVipper Penal had their DPS increased to be used more often and it lead to chain reaction increasing the DPs of Guards, then shock and now Conscripts. Well, that's actually wrong. Guards were not "buffed" overall. They just overnerfed them and then they rectified and the end product remains an inferior unit but "balanced" considering the changes in the overall game. We have already gone through this but for others: Shocks were not bad because of Penals. Shocks were "average" at best after WFA were released (seeing use only mostly when KV8 was OP) and not worthy after OKW rework. Finally, the funny thing is that Penals saw no use for years, because they actually made them Riflemen for Soviets. Original design was 6 man G43 squad with the same premium cost as PG. Conscripts: as i said before, i just hope that the cover bonus is just slight over the top for people to actually try it. This is just a common practice when you implement a new feature.

The only good light vehicles against snipers are the clowncar type ones. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Sections need their out of cover stats reverted26 Apr 2019, 18:19 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2019, 18:05 PMVipper That information is false: Bren carrier has one of the highest far DPS. It is actually 163% more DPS then kubel and remain superior to kubel up to range 19. And that is without the bren upgrade. In addition it acceleration and rotation are superior to kubel and only its top speed is lower. As for the turret M3 does not have, Kubel does not have and WC51 does not have one. Do you know the arc of each MG? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sections need their out of cover stats reverted26 Apr 2019, 17:32 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2019, 13:14 PMEsxile Not saying otherwise. 2nd volks arriving after 2nd rifle is something to put in perspective with already having a Sturm on the field. You also nailed the issue with the SWS, additional 100 manpower were a compensation for SWS truck cost but doesn't really make sense at the end and only give OKW early game more resources to pressure their opponent. What I meant is you can look at patch notes, OKW early game balance decision are mostly about cost and timing for pfaust and flamnade and fuel for the first truck. Then cutting 100 manpower from OKW start is a saying, it can be 50 or 80 and adjust SWS cost accordingly if it suit better then early game balance. IIRC they tested with 240mp and they were simple too weak early on against the meta of that time. It's not just the SwS but a sum of factors. Been able to build a Sturm if they wanted, not just a Volks for example. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.025 Apr 2019, 23:53 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2019, 23:06 PMSander93 Random note: cover bonusses do not apply when units are within 10 range of each other. So in that engagement there was no cover, technically speaking. Also to elaborate further, directional cover does exist but only for green cover (-50% damage and -50% accuracy), although green cover always gives -50% damage from explosives. Yellow cover (-50% accuracy) is not directional. Rule of thumb: A conscript sandbag should be around 10m long. Also those notes for cover are wrong (unless something change which i'm not aware off). All cover is directional, this includes light cover (let's differentiate light/yellow and heavy/green). The exceptions are: -craters produced in the terrain. IIRC demo charges are one if not the only explosive source to produce heavy cover type of craters. -Garrisons: buildings. -Unless they fixed it, bunkers which provides heavy cover instead of garrison cover. -Can't remember they type of cover for garrisoned infantry in vehicles. -HTD was changed but i can't really remember if there was an ability of UKF which made them behave as if they were in cover.

Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.025 Apr 2019, 23:42 PM From what i see, this is threading dangerous waters. The in cover buff will probably see a nerf or a change. This reminds me of other instances (in other games as well) when you have to buff something so much that people don't realise at which point is good or not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sections need their out of cover stats reverted25 Apr 2019, 18:19 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2019, 14:50 PMIncendiaryRounds After giving sappers snares, the section faces less light vehicles which is basically a buff to their performance, but nothing was taken in return. Section were allowed to be op vs infantry because they could be countered by light vehicles VERY easily. Now Brits have hands down the EASIEST time countering lights. There are plenty of relics in the Brit faction. The only reason why the reinforce cost is less than gren despite man-for-man completely dominating grens is the silly excuse of the Ost sniper doing its job. Now with the Brit sniper coming in at around 5min, I think it's fair that the reinforce cost be increased to 30, and that may still be a bargain compared to what grens are getting. But I know the allied players on this forum will go batshit crazy that a unit completely superior to another now costs the same to reinforce as that unit (allied players logic.) So my proposal is to simply revert the out of cover buffs that were given to the sections. If u wanna use an a-move blob, play USF or OKW. Brits are supposed to play defensive early game but the bolster comes so early and the out of cover buffs allow Brits to be an offensive faction. 5man section just one-ups all other infantry. Honestly the timing for the bolster should also be looked into, but like I said, it would be very "triggering" to certain players. So I want to keep any changes modest and stick to reverting the out of cover buffs. Not sure if i follow you but "IS" gets only debuffs out of cover and the Royal engineers get the buffs when in cover. I don't think that the lowering of the debuffs "broke" them nor that increasing it would make a change. These are the changes to IS: IF AND ONLY IF, changes are needed: -Check if the Bolster timing is what spikes them during early mid game. -Increase squad popcap after purchasing Bolster by 1. This would put them at exactly their original popcap when they are 5 man. -If Bolster is problematic for timing, move it further down on the tech unlock. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Veterancy should be stated in detail25 Apr 2019, 07:42 AM In an ideal world, so many things should had been implemented. Best concept i can think of, is what other games do (in other genre). The current description would stay as is, but with the press of a button, the information displayed would change for a more precise one or displayed somewhere else (like the useless unit description in the middle bar). The benefit right now of a vague description is that you don't have to spend man hours re-writting it in how many languages the game has, checked, tested, etc. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Did you notice this skill only top players have?24 Apr 2019, 21:29 PM I count this as a macro vs micro style. Tact map has a better information layout but this removes you from the actual battlefield as you can only issue simple orders. Managing everything from the default view lets you retain better control of the units at the expense of losing some contextual value (exactly where is everything) and some information (which exact unit you see on minimap).
