Thread: MG42 over performing 8 Nov 2020, 18:03 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2020, 16:49 PMWiderstreit Sure it was, I am playing this game since release without any brake and was testing every patch. I have to look for it. Game had so many changes and testing, it is crazy. The hardcore Pio-Buff was ~1 1/2 year before OKW was announced. Good old days. ^^ You are really confused and spewing BS. Assault Grenadiers released a couple of months after the game release around 2013. Every freaking DLC commander was broken for one reason or another. It took them quite a long time to fix SI and TA as opposed to say Osstruppen/FHQ/AssG. Pio became ubersmench when they reworked the damage profile of all weapons around march 2014 and lasted around a month. WFA released 2 o 3 months later. Serrith explained it well for PGs. You might have a different vision on design, but at least give proper justifications or correct anecdotes. Ontopic: MG42 is fine outside of sometimes bugging out and missing and animation which will make it look weird. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript PPSH assault package7 Nov 2020, 18:37 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2020, 18:02 PMKatitof I can't see how it would be "too viable" given this is the exact thing volk MP40s get and we don't see all of the volks being upgraded because of that. Also, it would be incredibly unsustainable, map control or not, given at least 30 nade cost and oorah cost. However even stun nade would do. That's exactly what i said. I don't think it would necessarily improve the unit in a direction where it needs it and just make it better at a point in the game they might already be good enough. I'm just cautious cause if the Mp40 package ever becomes too good, it's easier to adjust when it's on a single commander. Compared to the PPSH package. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript PPSH assault package7 Nov 2020, 18:31 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2020, 17:47 PMSkysTheLimit snip 1-I'm saying that even at it's peak, it was more of a VS OH pick rather than a general no brainer upgrade overall. Most weapon upgrades are good regardless which faction you are facing. Even with 40muni PPSH, you still didn't want to use Cons against OKW. 2-I allude to both, OH doctrinal choices (AssG, 5man, Osstruppen) or non doctrinal improvements such as tech, PGs, 251, vet 3 Grens and T4. 3-6 PPSH can be fine but require much more tweaking than it's worth. For starters, i don't think you can just paste their current performance, give them 6x and call it a day. It would probable see an individual performance nerf with slight better 6 man performance but at the end of the day it would be an overall nerf cause it's better to have less weapon with better performance. Imagine if we were to nerf G43 on Grens and give them 4 instead. They would suck ass. As far as the SVT goes, i do think it walks a thin line but i think it's easier to adjust the commander, specially when you can just balance the IL2 rocket strafe without affecting other commanders. If anything this last months, we know that the commanders is not carrying the Soviets, at least on 1v1. (offtopic: as listed last in the changelog, the ability is still "been monitored" and could still see some small tweaks) Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2020, 17:55 PMVipper Not sure that agree with the analysis or the comparison. If PPSH was good enough in teamgames, the 2 CP change would had boosted it's use as it's much harder to get CPs than in 1v1. My opinion in SVT is above and i've said (in the past) that if the ability is still good (irregardless if Soviets are good or not overall) one way to balance it out is by increasing the cd. So you can still field a single one at 1CP but not back to back upgrade all Cons as fast. Anyway, i was just mentioning that the "scary" 3CP 40 muni PPSh was not as scary as it looked like.

Thread: Conscript PPSH assault package7 Nov 2020, 17:57 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2020, 17:40 PMStark Do you guys think that replacing a molotov for a "normal" nade for ppsh conscript would be enough to make this upgrade more viable? [Idea for Miragefla balance patch] That would make them "too viable" IMO, though muni intensive. The upgrade would be good just because it has a normal nade rather than the weapon itself. It would be a matter if you can afford it or not, which would just push the upgrade on been better in the late game. Something which is not necessarily the problem nowadays with Soviets. Feels like it would be a "snowball" upgrade. As long as you have munitions and the map lead, you will see PPSH cons oorahing and throwing nades. Grenades and balance walks through a slim line. Been able to have an ability which suddenly is able to wipe a squad is powerful. Specially on a 6 man squad with sprint. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Combination of doctrinal abilities that should be removed7 Nov 2020, 17:41 PM Similar opinion as Sanders. Just replace IL2 bombing strike and Stuka dive bomb out of the ISU/Ele doctrines. Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2020, 16:28 PMVipper ... I think it's a design problem which is harder to fix as you are basically adjusting several commanders which have completely different performances across the board. As opposed to say ISU/Ele commanders specifically in teamgames. It would be much better and easier to adjust and balance if EFA didn't had as many commanders as there are, but we know that Relic can't or won't remove commanders. In: Lobby
Thread: Conscript PPSH assault package7 Nov 2020, 17:40 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2020, 06:40 AMSkysTheLimit True but ppshs have been buffed since then. And they were a no brainier after that buff cause they still had that 40 muni price tag for a few patches before being increased Not really. Only against OH. Playing Cons, even with PPSH, was a generally bad choice against OKW at the time. OH was basically playing mostly Mobile Def Puma and they didn't have any of the benefits they currently have nowadays. Either the doctrinal options or the non doctrinal improvements to the core roster. The price tag meant that you could fully arm your whole Cons with them, pushing for a better mid game in tandem with the T70. The price nerf and the heavy drop in usage after that, even in teamgames where resources are more plentiful, shows IMO that the issue was less in the performance of the weapon rather than in timings against a specific faction. Compare that to the SVT upgrade which still sees usage even after the price increase. The problem with the PPSH upgrade is 2 IMO: -How many commanders are there with PPSH which might lead to problems in balance. (For ex: it's far easier to adjust the power from SVTs when it's on a single commander). -It competes with SVT (early) and 7man upgrade (late). As others have recommended: i would just give it the same treatment as the 7man upgrade in regards to xp gain. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The maxim thread5 Nov 2020, 21:10 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2020, 21:03 PMgbem yes but if MG1 has the same DPS as MG2 but (MG1) has less suppression the fact that (MG2) doing "less damage" is a disadvantage as opposed to an advantage in this case... id guess i couldve worded it better... Which is still wrong. If we both agree that an MG is supposed to suppress first and dmg is secondary, the fact that it is doing less damage is not a disadvantage. Is a by product of been able to suppress unit faster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The maxim thread5 Nov 2020, 21:01 PM Read again. Your first post is erroneous. You can't have less suppression and less dmg at equal DPS. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lack of friendly fire5 Nov 2020, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2020, 20:38 PMSander93 Also, there is the huge issue of a ton of players being toxic and resorting to teamkilling (or at least attempt to) for various reasons, with no real systems in place to handle them (except manual reports), which would become an even bigger issue if everything did full friendly fire damage. While full friendly fire is a no no, i think we had in the past abilities doing around 0% (probably fixed) and 2% while others do around 50%. I think Shocks nade are doing full FF while most grenades should be doing 25%. I think there's still difference in performance between certain stationary Howitzers and mobile ones. Or even B4, ST, Avre. I think the worst are the doctrinal abilities. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The maxim thread5 Nov 2020, 20:34 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2020, 20:23 PMgbem exactly... MG1 has the same DPS as MG2 but MG1 has less suppression... the fact that MG1 is doing more damage is not an advantage but a disadvantage in this case.... I suggest you edit your comment because your last 2 post contradict themselves. Which is why i gave an ELI5 Again, i haven't made an argument as you claim before. It's simple describing what happens in game due to units suppressing faster than others. This is the same reason people perception on the Vickers as a high dmg MG. In: COH2 Balance
