Thread: Another idea for weapon upgrade fix26 Sep 2016, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2016, 21:11 PMMr.Smith Commandos can be made to be allowed to pick up double LMGs, etc. TheMachine actually has everything you mentioned working for his GG mod (can't pick double-guns from racks, elite infantry can have their double LMGs, etc). I"m pretty sure Firesparks' mod uses an identical ruleset for picked-up weapons. I don't know what's the status for Miragefla mod. You can also nerf REs by limiting them to one weapon per rack (no matter which). As long as the only restriction you want to place is on upgrades/weapon racks, then it's no biggy to do. The hairy stuff happens when you want to change the rules about what happens to weapons you want to pick up from the ground. Good to know, thx for the info. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Another idea for weapon upgrade fix26 Sep 2016, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2016, 18:11 PMMr.Smith I think that all of what you described is possible, including the schreck/minesweeper idea. You can even lock out certain upgrades, depending on whether certain slot items are present or not. For instance, PGrens have access to both a single PSchreck upgrade, and a double schreck upgrade. The requirements are such that, whichever upgrade you buy, you always end up with full slots in the end. (the single shcreck costs 60 MU). For my mod, I have actually made it possible for guards to rebuy any amount of lost DP-28's/PTRS rifles, but made them unable to ever surpass 2 of each. ~~However, the only way to restrict access to the item is through the source (upgrade, racks, etc), but not the ground. (ground slot-requirements are equal to player slot requirements).~~ I think you might be able to do just about anything you want regarding slot requirements. I think that with some trickery (e..g., applying hidden upgrades), you may even manage to change a weapon's slot requirements on the fly, after you've picked it up. Just to mention it, i don't mind if a squad ends up with 2 LMG if one is been picked up from the ground (and i don't care that we only have 1 commander on UKF which does that). If AR get "nerf" (starting with BAR) at long range, i wouldn't mind as well letting people have 1919 + BAR or zook. Problem1: if my previous idea is possible, would this mean that there is no way to make commandos been able to pick 2 LMGs? Roughly thinking i guess this is the "only" unit in conflict (been them "elite) and don't necessarily optimal for this. We could live without it. Another brainstorm idea : not sure if it's needed or not (in case people see problematic RET x2 zook). Say that Rear echelons have their current cost based on their capabilities of getting 2 weapons. Wouldn't it be better to have their cost reduce but reducing their weapon slots (make sweeper in this case not cost any weapon slot). Regarding RE/Sappers with Piats, i would start first by seriously nerfing or removing their vet3 reinforce bonus. You could also limit weapons to 1 for RE and making sweepers/salvage 0. Problem2: RET/RE might not be able to pick up a single LMG if it requires 2 weapon slots. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Another idea for weapon upgrade fix26 Sep 2016, 17:58 PM There 0 gain from this idea. If your fix introduces more problems, it ain't a fix. 1- Implementation. GL with that. From actually putting that into the game (download modtools and try to do so) and having a functional build with no bugs () for the kind of behavior you are asking for. 2- DPS. Gren x2 Kar 4.82 / 12.44 vs LMG 7.19 / 7.66 Rifle x2 Gar 3.68 / 15.32 vs Bar 5.00 / 14.70 Now you realize you actually don't gain any meaningful DPS. If you increase the DPS of weapon upgrades, you are just further increasing the problems (sniping models) Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2016, 09:29 AMMr.Smith - Elite squad LMGs (Paras, Obers, Commandos etc); which will revert to ordinary LMGs on drop Question/Idea here. Is there a way to make upgrades or picking weapon from racks require a certain amount of free slots available but the weapon itself having a different weapon slot value ? For example: -1919/Bren requires 2 free weapon slots available to pick them up, but the actual weapon takes only 1 slot. This makes picking weapons from the ground possible. -LMG upgrades (besides DPs) require 2 slots but actually occupy a single one. -STG/PPSH upgrades requires 2 slots but actually occupy one. At this point, i wouldn't mind seeing Volks been able to pick up a weapon from the ground. -Sweeper/single schreck/flamer upgrade requires and occupies single slot. This includes salvage package. This would allow SP to get sweeper + weapon upgrade* *Is it possible to implement that bolstering the sweeper is only possible while not having any weapon upgrade? The moment you pick a weapon or upgrade with schreck/flamer you can't go back to withdrawing the STG ? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The state of balance atm...24 Sep 2016, 22:06 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2016, 19:33 PMMr.Smith Bugs > Quality of life changes > Frequent, frustratingly-unavoidable wipes (RNG or not) > Balance Unless you are in the top-300, balance really doesn't matter that much. Why? Matchmaking will fix things for you. +7 cause cause +1 is too mainstream. 2 weeks ago, i had my 5th unit (OH mortar) bug out and couldn't retreat nor kill the model carrying the weapon. I was down a squad from the beginning and eating popcap for the whole match (didn't last too long). Most things have been ironed through time. We are barely at a point where that priority can be hold true (been mortar the only outlier atm). It seems that the rest is fine tuning. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of balance atm...24 Sep 2016, 16:43 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2016, 08:34 AMAustralian Magic Few times when I saw someone new here making balance threads and seeing win ratio like 0.3 or 0.4 I adviced to go to strategy section becasue. Guess what, I was bashed by other members for being not helpful and rude And here we are with people complaining in the balance forum but are too scared of having a playercard or uploading a single replay to the site Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2016, 20:54 PMSturmtigerCobra Imagine if COH2.org had 137871 posts helping new players get into the game instead of all this forum junk we have here. But no, we just keep dancing around the totem pole thinking we are still relevant to the future of this franchise. For this forum to stay more relevant. Perhaps make it view only and restrict forum posting to a handful of community trusted balance tester. Unfortunately i think it's a little too late for that. If i could go back into the past, balance section should had a requisite of playercard + 1 replay uploaded to the site. If your post quality was low, then strategist + mod team could revoke permissions to post (not view) on the balance section (temp or perma). Lobby/Gameplay would remain open to everyone.

Thread: Ostheer - The Dead Circle vs USF24 Sep 2016, 16:36 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2016, 15:00 PMAustralian Magic I already pointed you that almost all issues didn't have such impact like mortar. Did Tiger Ace raped you since first minute? How about ISU? No? Yea, that's what I thought. Plus I'd like to see a quote when I said that mortar is most broken unit in history Waiting... The difference is that the mortar is not as OP/broken as the list of units and abilities which were mentioned before. Why? Cause it's an OH mortar with slightly better barrage and vet. Yeah playing sniper every single game as OH can be boring, but you have the tools. You force LT tech and you either punish him waiting for waiting till AA HT or you go into the micro battle of M20 vs sniper and zook crew vs 222. If you say that the list of things mentioned before were not as gamebreaking as the current mortar... You are right that you don't literally say it, but you imply it (seems Katitof teach you well in this aspect). PD: if you didn't face those things 24/7 then that means at the time you were playing, you were not facing the top of the ladder where most people were "tryhards". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer - The Dead Circle vs USF24 Sep 2016, 02:06 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2016, 00:41 AMskemshead So in your opinion, the sniper in M3 is the only op unit/mechanic in the entire existence of coh2 that is worse than usf morter. Just off the top of my head, i would say any of the following units/abilities before they were nerfed were worse than the usf morter.... 1. Tiger Ace. 2. Windustry. 3. Flamer Rifles. 4. LMG obers 5. CAS 6. Strafe. 7. P47 rockets. 8. Stug E 9. 1 CP shocks. 10. Leig Suppression. 11. Brits Centaur/Crocodile/Bofors 12. ISU 13. Ost Flame Halftrack. 14. Sov M5 15. Sov ptrs spam. 16. Sov B4 Disclaimer : I am not supporting the morter, nor am i making any comment relating to the current balance between usf and ost. I am simply saying the usf morter is not the worst bs unit/ability to plague the game over its entire lifespan. Adding to that list: -First version of USF turbomortar with maphacking tracking -Assault Grens, Osstruppen and FHQ 3 days of terror (i guess from now on i should leave bugs aside cause we wouldn't end and design issues such as blizzard or plane crushing) -Snipers with sprint and precision strike on artillery (specially 120dmg 120mm mortar) -Good old first version of maxim spam and MG42 suppression bulletins -T70 crush -Pio spam and suppressing Grens -Katyusha and PW rocket damage -IL2 strafe of doom I guess i could keep going with EFA but that would be boring. -USF vs OH was REALLY worst on release. Rifles > LT > Sherman > GG -Defensive stance -Doge 0CP -CalliOP, Greyhound, 155mm barrage. Overbuffed AssEngies (although this would be on equal level to current mortar) -RE volley fire -Kubeljesus and Truck crushing/pushing -Scavenge artillery -2v2 double OKW fortification into KT meta -1st version of JT -1st version of Artillery cover + Air supremacy + Vanguard -Free anvil upgraded engineers and churchills IB4 USF fanboy: -Limit picking LMGs from racks to 1. Nerf long range dps of BAR (25-35 range) (AR should be nerf at long range across the board to PG STG44 standard, FG42 n IR STG, but those units would require buff/tweaks on other aspects) -Adjust AoE on Stuart/T70. Stuart just need to be LESS RNG wiper with it's main gun. Stun shouldn't immobilize. -CalliOP was nerf on the wrong aspect IMO. It should had 3/4 barrages of equal amount of rockets (you could space out a bit the time from each barrage) rather than just removing the 3rd 4rocket barrage. -Mortar: fix bugs. Replace current vet1 scatter bonus. Either go for a reduce damage/lower range with a normal (not hyper turbo) barrage. You could actually give more identity to the pack Howie (if it could shoot at least 2 or 3 more shells on BARRAGE). In: COH2 Balance
