Thread: October 4th Update15 Oct 2016, 15:58 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2016, 22:38 PMSturmtigerCobra Unfortunately, this is too late to implement. In case of a future COH3, this should be thought and brought to the admins from the get go (not the current politic). Not something exclusive to the top25, but something which should avoid the usual shitpost we have around here atm and leave some space for serious discussion. What i had propose in the past: -Requirements to post a balance thread: replays uploaded to the site + playercard show up People shouldn't hide on the annonimatum, gamemode matters as issues differ and skill level shouldn't matter to be able to brought light into something. -Everyone should be able to see posts in the balance section -At first, everyone should be able to create threads and post on the balance section. ---In case someone shitpost/flamewar, then revoke the permission to post in OTHER people's thread. ---In case someone spam/create low quality threads, completely prohibit both posting and thread creation. The point here is that, at first, if someone doesn't know how to interact with others, he should still have a chance of bringing up issues (only been able to post in the thread he makes).

Thread: October 4th Update14 Oct 2016, 00:55 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2016, 22:38 PMVuther With all the games I've played, balance practically feels like something you can only hope for the best for. I can't remember a game's community ever saying "Everything is fine and balanced". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's probably why I've seen the strawman argument "A balanced game must be boring" more than a few times. I sure don't see the complaint "The game is balanced but man it's kinda boring" at all. Heck even Chess is imba, Whites OP. It's not a matter of been perfectly balanced or not, it's about having a game which seems FAIR. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why jesulin surrendered ?13 Oct 2016, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2016, 12:38 PMafrrs you said it , not me . were you afraid ? panic attack ? what was it ? you still had a chance . IIRC: While the game was still on pretty much an early stage, it was almost over after that push. Reminder that he was facing DevM which is mostly a 20min game player. Hypothetical situations: -If he hadn't lost anything or just the M3 for both snipers, he would had been ahead. -One sniper for the M3 ? Both snipers for M3 and the Penal? Almost even. Any other result was him been further behind. On that push he got only 1 sniper and the medic bunker. He lost the engineers (early on to the MG42), the vet Penal on retreat and heavily bleed the Guards (?) to the MG42. Even with an "even" result, he was still playing from behind and needed to move the game to a later stage where veterancy on his units and tanks might put him back into the game. He end up with 3 squads, each of them needing reinforcement, no tech past T1 (no engineer as well) and one sniper was still alive. Devm could easily rebuild a 2nd sniper and he wouldn't had another shot with an M3 rush at that stage of the game. This leaves to either a lucky 120mm shot to kill the sniper (not even if they are at full health) or trying to counter-snipe with the clunky soviet sniper (which is impossible if he properly uses recloak technique -shooting from out of cover into cover-). What could have gone differently on that push? Reminder that this can only be easily said from outside (no final pressure) and from slowing down the replay. -Not losing the engineers (retreat) on that frontal push. M3 could had still yolorush. -I'm not sure if there was a Guard or penal at the right muni, which could had flanked the MG42 on the middle (which could had later save the Penals on retreat) -Same can be said for the Guards fighting at the left muni approaching the MG42 -MAYBE using hoorah to catch up with the 2nd sniper when merry go round at HQ.

Thread: [SOV] Guards Motor Commander11 Oct 2016, 15:40 PM First of all, replays/rank/game mode please. Guard Motor is not OP but it's the safe choice (as it has been during the whole life of the game). Units and abilities show up on several other commanders but the combination of them let it cover several bases. Some errors: -You don't upgrade them with PTRS, it's with DPs. DPs are overpriced if you account for the cost of button and it's effect. -The whole point of removing the ability to be a call in was that it was gated through tech. If someone is pulling "fast" T3485s/E8s (same concept applying) then you are really far behind and the other guy gave up on secondary teching (upgrades) or pulling light vehicles. Since the changes to T76s and Su85s, i don't think they are as required as before. -Guards no longer snipe infantry since they reduce PTRS damage against infantry. Grenadiers Kar98 deals more DPS against infantry than Guard PTRS at all distances. When upgraded with DPs, they are basically 6man grenadiers with an LMG42. If you are complaining about Guard Motor, you should as well mention the 120mm mortar and crew repair (which for some reason it halves your muni income per tank use). Your rant seems more a wide complain about SU as a whole and it's current meta (Penals). What things could see changing: -Nerfing/changing vet 3 accuracy on Penals -T3485s shouldn't benefit from the T76 MG buffs. Alternative increase by +5f and a bit mp (basically it's old single call in cost) In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Allied infantry vs Axis tanks9 Oct 2016, 20:09 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2016, 19:39 PMThe Red Zaku Snip My post was mainly to OP as he is mostly a 2v2+ player. I think that as of lately, 2v2 has gone way further to be closer to 3v3+ spam than 1v1 (been that IMO it has always been a 50/50 between both modes). Regarding your post, i don't think that what i say and the balance changes required are mutually exclusive. When there is little cover available early on, infantry/mg/mortar micro matters. While the game progress, this starts to lose value in favor or managing your blobs and vehicles mostly. About nerfs needed (USF specifically), well this is my input. Rifles: either reduce RA and/or make it only apply while in cover Stuart: change stun to main gun disabled. MAIN GUN AI performance should be lower. The Stuart main gun isn't reliable against infantry, but when it does it hurts. You could limit number of models hit, aoe and/or damage to avoid 1 hit wipes. Mortar: SU version. More work version: give it less AA range (60ish) but a barrage equal to SU/OH. Make it mobile and require player input. Disclaimer: this is only a part of what should be include in a patch but i'm afraid this is what only would be seen on a future patch from Relic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance suggestions for all factions9 Oct 2016, 19:29 PM Only 3 things i disagree. 1- Double LMG are still a problem and are just a DPS powercreep coming since WFA release. 2- USF AT gun is not comparable to other AT guns. 1st, it still has crap penetration in comparison, unless you are using 24/7 AP shells. For the low increase on pen, it got it's biggest increase on performance ability nerf (vet1 been permanent to timed). 2nd it still has for some reason increased RA (1.25) when it should be normal (1.0). 3- Guards been more prevalent are not due to an increase on performance rather than a meta change (T1 penals). I don't think PTRS should be change further on. Regarding changes, there's lot to be done. I'll say there are like 5 big changes and then there are plenty of QoL, bugs and minor fixing that has to be done across the board. Top5: 1- Changes n nerfs to USF mortar 2- Better/spread out formations for 4 man squads 3- Impossibility to double LMGs from racks . You can still get double LMG by picking them from ground 4- Overperforming veterancy levels with ez ease of use. Vet3 RA on rifles, accuracy on Penals, reduce reinforce cost on RE and passive suppression on Obers are some examples. I'll add here that the vet3 increase range on AA for mortars was a bad "fix" call. 5- OKW: remove cost from medic upgrade. Instead, give a research cost to T3 (Schwerer) which enables both the gun and further units (PIV n PV). Makes getting Obers n JPIV faster. PD: cost to deploy could be a bit more than half of it's current cost and the side tech the rest + the current medic cost (keeping total tech cost equal as of now). PD: or improve handling of SP medkits and/or allow a secondary medic upgrade at HQ. Then you have a plethora of smaller or bigger changes to units and abilities across the board. Things like make EFA vet1 ability great again or buffing units which have been obsolete for quite some a long time (the Su76/Penal treatment). Doing an ex with both WFA to appease the "famboys" OKW: Heavy fortifications, LeFH, Emergency repairs, Panzer Commander, Zeroing arty (cost), Sector assault, Hetzer. USF: support weapon drops (mp to muni similar to UKF), Fire up!, Airdropped combat group, M3 Halftrack, Greyhound In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied infantry vs Axis tanks9 Oct 2016, 19:05 PM Something that you don't realize that, IMO, is that while vet3 terminator vet is an issue, most units can safely roam in a blob against other small arm fire units late game due to abundant yellow cover. This affects all units and makes teamgames go into the realm of blobs of infantry, artillery and tank spam. #Nerfcraterbonuses In: COH2 Balance
