Thread: USF Armor Company ability : Vehicle Crew Thompson upgrade9 Sep 2016, 03:37 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Sep 2016, 23:44 PMStug life ok to 5th man at vet 2 no to the Thompson is to would make them too op a 5th man already buff both damage and durability Just remove Thompson they are good on elite squad Btw trust me a 10 sec super glue would not be used just look at elite armor repair just remove it and give it to armor company (together with a buff to hp and armor to 105mm Sherman bulldozer) Superglue: 10s was just a random number. Whatever goes from ±5/7s would be "fine". Thompsons: can't remember how many they get (2 or 4?). If it's just 2, the increase on DPS is not as much. Code 13.25 13.25 13.25 4.51 1.21 0.56 0.21 0.21 18.65 18.65 18.65 11.38 6.19 2.75 0.87 0.87 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic: Please hand over the balance to the community8 Sep 2016, 18:54 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Sep 2016, 02:18 AMpigsoup it has to be top players. watching WPC, many people who spend a lot of time on the forum might be surprised to many, many of the strategies deployed by the top players. a great example would be the games where barton relied on rakentenwerfer and ostwind to beat shadowada and almost beat Jesulin (or did he barton win that game)? the two units that are time and time again regarded as "UP", "trash" or "useless" were Barton army's backbone and it challenged even the biggest names in this community. 1-Rak problem is mostly against light vehicles. IIRC Barton's rak couldn't deal with the Dodge (missed) or the Stuart. Aim times messes with the unit but on the same hand, i'll say that no speed penalty on vet1 is REALLY good (for that level of vet). 2-No one complains about Ostwind, specially on 1v1, from OKW. It's mostly the OH version (either it's role on T3 or cost/performance). Everything that is a call in, is better. If it's about AA, the only great unit is the Centurion, followed by OHW/USF AA HT. Both Ostwind and M5 sucks. Almost all AA against single strafe sucks (on that Barton's game, i remember seeing double vet3/5 Ostwind not been able to deal with Jesulin recon plane). Ostwind performance DO suck if it's on the move. On that game, Barton mostly fended off infantry coming to it and vet quite a lot through received damage (from those zooks). Lack of manual reload makes its a bit unreliable sometimes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Armor Company ability : Vehicle Crew Thompson upgrade8 Sep 2016, 18:12 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Sep 2016, 14:40 PMStug life in my opinion super glue was supposed to be this commander ability but then they changed it I wouldn't mind leaving superglue (current cost and time) to armor company and having normal glue (10s and increased cost) for base USF. Give the Thompson upgrade to Assault Engineers. With a 5th guy on veterancy they might see some use. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why Blobbing is so Prominent in Coh28 Sep 2016, 18:04 PM A question i posted on Cruzz thread which might throw an idea regarding the present subject. Burst small arms and focus_fire: false HMGs and a select number of other small arms have focus_fire: false. What this option does is effectively give every bullet two chances to hit, once as normal and if that one misses then it will check the scatter area for another target and try another hit roll. This is effectively extra damage (and suppression for HMGs) spread over random targets next to whatever you're firing at. You can see this effect with the Kubel pretty easily as it often leaves squads with a lot of models but low health due to on average firing 1.8 bullets at random targets for every 1 that hits the model it's firing on. 1-How much of an impact does this have on the DPS the weapon? By removing it from SMG/AR or adding it to Carbine/Rifles, would there be a big change on weapon balance? Regarding HMGs: Is incremental accuracy the only value which can utilize the mechanic of improving performance when there are several squads/models in the search area? For example: could you make it so increases base suppression values, damage or scatter. Jump back to quoted post8 Sep 2016, 15:22 PMMr.Smith +1 The other big problem with crater yellow cover is that it causes HMGs setting up on top of these craters to clump up. Since yellow cover offers absolutely 0 protection vs explosives, the HMGs become mortar/rifle-nade/you-name it fodder. (and since craters are everywhere, your HMG will -have- to setup on yellow cover. All of this conspires to make HMGs even more useless by the end-game. Is it possible to adjust terrain modification cover assignment ? Mortars, tanks shells, rocket artillery, infantry AT and nades, etc > generates yellow cover with no suppression modifiers ST, Howitzers, most offmaps > current light cover Demos (i think the only one which does this) gives green cover. Why not expand it to: Goliath, Railway artillery, Stuka, B4, 240mm Barrage (armor company). Notice that is mostly a 1 time explosion or heavily limited offmap (mostly in amount of shells).

Thread: Grenadier 4-man Squad: A thing of the past. 7 Sep 2016, 23:11 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2016, 21:00 PMFiresparks there are other ways to buff the grenadier's hp without giving them another squad member. 1-better RA 2-better spacing 3-or even 2 more hp (considering how much 82 hp did for sniper) While i'm not opposed to a late game BP3 sidegrade to unlock a 5th guy, why not start with the most simple changes like step 2, fixing the OP mortar and tweaking the LVs ?

Thread: Infantry rebalance needed7 Sep 2016, 16:22 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2016, 15:29 PMOutsider_Sidaroth Back when it had Defensive Stance you could still equip two, for more surpression, but it was buggy at it was why it was removed. Unless buffed, no one will pick a single two slot 1919 vs 2 BARs, while more expensive they will be always a better choice. More than bugs, it was OP. It wasn't a "defensive" stance, it was an "A move offensive stance". 1-You can block the access to a 2nd 1919 but leave the option for a Bar/Zook pick up from rack. Requires tech and adjusting the BAR to be more of an AR wouldn't be OP (no one picks atm bars if they have 1919 and the combo wouldn't be strong). 2-If no other weapon from rack can be picked, then you can increase the performance to be a bit higher than now and lower to LMG34. 3-Leave performance as is, limit to 1 (with either option 1 or 2) and give defensive stance a return WITHOUT SUPPRESSION. Long cooldown, non toggleable during combat, which grants def/off buff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [2vs2] RIP Axis7 Sep 2016, 16:12 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2016, 02:20 AMCorsin the UKF armored car and USF Stuart or the soviet T70 (or SU76), totally own the P2... and the 222..... and Rifles and Brit infantry sections beat volks when upgraded with Lmgs... I honestly dont know what youre talking about lol. Oh and... The vickers is better than the MG42 and can actually clear buildings...... and the maxim suppresses faster and has a 6man crew so doesnt die in 1 mortar shot. 1 firefly (with tulips), and 3 Jacksons (about the same fuel as an Ele and a cmd Panther) can beat it, if played properly. Disclaimer: i don't agree with what Rocket says. Light vehicles: MG: Ele + Cmnd PV vs Jackson + Firefly (tulips): Why would you go for an Ele on a non linear map? This basically removes any "traditional" flanking option as well as any surprise factor since scope (most popular Ele option) + Cmnd PV vision is huge. Praying for the Tulips to hit is mostly a 1 trick pony, same as relying on Jackson (which can get 1 shot by Ele + mark vehicle). Why not RET zooks or RE Piats "blob" (with just 2 you can push both tanks away). Ele/JT are issues only when you bottleneck yourself with heavies without access to medium tanks (basically relying on call in) and fell on both the infantry aspect and the artillery one.

Thread: Ostheer weaknesses7 Sep 2016, 15:36 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2016, 07:31 AMullumulu why is it op if grens become more durable...but if u can upgrade IS to a 5. model...it isn`t? Isn´t the IS with theire 4 models more durable as grens? > they are! Cant the IS get super effecitve vs infantery or tanks...or good effective vs both? ask the grens...they can get only good effective vs infantery. 1-4man IS are more expensive from the get go and only work while in cover (you get penalties, not buffs, while out of cover and on the move). 2-IS can be effective against infantry through upgrades. BUT you DON'T WANT them as AT. No snare and expensive to reinforce makes them undesirable to put PIATs on them. That's why you have RE which are stupid op at vet3 for that role. Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2016, 10:45 AMStug life it's obviously justified by the better late... Gam.... Ho wait It's supposed to be: easier access to units/upgrades and stronger support weapons which leads to a better combined arms army (sniper-mg-pak-mortar). Problem is USF get's turbo mortar 2.0 with stupid vet1 instead of crappy short range smoke platform. If we talk about teamgames, UKF tends to get carried early on by either USF or SU which leads to their good late game capabilities (or if the map and mode allows it, to camp with emplacements). Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2016, 14:46 PMABlockOfSalt Squad spacing, LMG limitations on infantry and some normalization of AOE would all be welcome to help out the OST as a whole. I feel OST vs SOV is a pretty solid match up at the moment. The WFA/Brit power creep is what gives the biggest headache +1 In: COH2 Gameplay
