Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback2 Jan 2021, 21:18 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jan 2021, 19:06 PMHannibal My point with this was that, even with current design, Penals don't need an additional weapon upgrade or similar to boost their DPS. A Penal squad right out of the barracks is about as good as other mainline infantry with their weapon upgrade purchased. And no one complains about other mainlines being too weak if you rebuild them. Conscripts on the other hand suffered a lot before Mobilized reserves, because both DPS and survivability were bad at vet0. Even cheap Conscripts were bleeding you heavily because it took them ages to get vet 2 due to low damage. All of this got adressed with Mobilized Reserves. Saying that old Conscripts and Penals suffer the same problems and need the same treatment is in my opinion straight up wrong. That's true, they suffer DIFFERENT PROBLEMS (at similar stage in the game) but they are been treated as it can be SOLVED in the same way. Vanilla conscripts were fine till the moment they nerf all the alternative ways for the faction to wipe and do dmg (mines, flare, demos, T70, maxims, free barrages, power of doctrinal units) Which is totally a valid design choice but it took mobilize reserves in order to fix the problem. I have issues with the line of thought that throwing vet will simple fix problems. There are several units which are getting nerfed on this patch and there are a couple more than SHOULD be tweak as well, but i think a proper compensation/rework is due in other areas.

Thread: Remove "Close the pocket" Arty ability2 Jan 2021, 18:51 PM Balance wise is fine, design wise is horrible. If we consider that the game patch outs cheese out of the game. It's the same issue we had with Urban defense HQ in smaller modes on specific maps, with specific respawn positions. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback2 Jan 2021, 18:46 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jan 2021, 14:11 PMHannibal Again, 300 MP is not "much cheaper" than 260 MP + 60 MUN. Or 280 MP plus 120 MUN. At least not at any rank above 2000 where people still float 500 muni. Penals do not suffer the exact same way Conscripts did, this is why they STILL do not get a AI-weapon upgrade. Rebuilding a Penal in the late game gives you as much firepower as rebuilding a Volks and upgrading Stgs. They just bleed you like hell, hence the MP reinforcement reduction for the late game only and the vet change to better defensive vet. You rebuild infantry only to cap, build sandbags and snares. Bonus points if you have special abilities or grenades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback1 Jan 2021, 06:14 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Dec 2020, 09:42 AMGeblobt ? Base Grens and Volks are viable lategame, but Penals not? Thats an opinion and rather controversial. Penals were fine in the Okw-Sov matchup before 7man Cons got introduced. Its just that Osttruppen and 5man Grens are too good and 7man Cons perform very well. Penals are combatwise very similar to upgraded Pfusies and nobody says that this unit underperforms. Penals have surperior veterancy boni compared to almost every other squad. And with the upcoming changes they will be even better. They dont need an offensive weapon upgrade. I think the M3 needs a little bit more armor. It dies too fast vs small arms in the mod. And the t34 timing is rather bad compared to the ost p4 (and okw p4 when bg into schwerer rush). There could be a subtech for katy, su86 and every doc tank, while t34 and Mobilize Reserves get unlocked with the cheaper t4 (something like 60/30 fuel instead of 90) I think this stems from a combination of factors outside Penals. 1- T70 was much stronger. T1 openings would always mean that you get a slightly (5f) cheaper tech and you are skipping the AT nade upgrade. 2- OKW mechanized was mostly mandatory. This both delays MG34 and snares. Depending at which timeframe you look upon, you have PF with AT nades at T0 now. Rak has been improved to be more responsive early game compared to late game cloak cheese. 3- Add constant buffs and improvements to SP. 4- Factors 2 and 3 are releveant towards how viable the M3A1 is, which basically ties if T1 is viable at all in Penal builds. 5- The weakness to Penal builds is how fast you can transition towards medium tanks. A mechanized player will start to have problems towards the midgame due to how costly is to back tech into healing. 6- Flak HT is good against T1 openings but gives you a certain weakness once the T70 roles out as you don't have a secure hardcounter in the Puma. But the T70 is getting nerfed in this patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Economic balance1 Jan 2021, 05:44 AM Bad idea. As far as 3v3+ games goes, wouldn't it be much better if the max popcap was reduced? Less volume of units? Or we just accept people like to see blobs of units and tanks clash in 2 lanes? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will they address Panzergrens in the new patch?1 Jan 2021, 05:41 AM Vet 1 also provides RA. Reminder that vet requirements for each level from 1 to 3 have some sort of exponential growth. If it takes 10 XP to get to vet 1, then it takes 20XP to get vet2 and 40xp to get vet3. I don't think PG are as much an issue compared to Prostruppen. As at least both Pio/Assault Grens have much more clear weaknesses (snare). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main Gun vs MG DPS, what matters more?1 Jan 2021, 05:24 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Dec 2020, 05:58 AMMMX snip If we should go for a test which gives values closest to what one would expect in game then it should be something like this: -Considering the first shot from the main gun been at T=0s you should just take the DPS of total 4 shots, which would roughly be 17-20s? I think that's a more realistic time frame for most "prolonged" engagements in the game. -If possible, half the shots while static and the other while on the move. -Finally for Hull MGs, i would say that the uptime should be around 50% and 60% respectively for those who have a 5 and 10 fire cone angle.

Thread: RNG30 Dec 2020, 22:54 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Dec 2020, 20:59 PMVipper Why is not relevant to Tank to Tank combat? it happens and it can create rear hits from shot fire from the front. There is even a video where it seem like it is an AOE penetration hit. I assume we are talking about different things. It's a complete miss and the AoE deals 160 dmg ? In: Lobby
Thread: RNG30 Dec 2020, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Dec 2020, 20:31 PMVipper So you want a shell exploding behind a tank fire from the front/side to score frontal/side armor hit? I'm talking about collision hits. AoE penetration on tank vs tank combat is in now way relevant in the current game. In: Lobby
Thread: RNG30 Dec 2020, 20:19 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Dec 2020, 20:09 PMVipper That would still be an issue regardless since shell that do not connect can penetrate via AOE penetration if the shell explode near the vehicle. It wouldn't if the armor which has to be considered is based depending on the relative position between both tanks. In: Lobby
