Shit was disgusting to play against. Theres also the double m1919 terminator rifles and ost/usf having the 81mm mortar of doom. Broken CP 0 call in infantry which was nerf in less than a week > everything else. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bring back Sniper in an M316 Sep 2020, 12:47 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2020, 07:33 AMDonnieChan i suggest a fun patch with all units having their powerspike stats (e.G. release Tiger ace, release churchills, Katyusche with megaton rockets...) who do you think would win Bugs and glitches non included, taking into account current teching costs and adjusting units/abilites only to what they were at certain patches (so no mixing stats from 1 patch with another), the answer is simple. We don't include beta content. Games will never pass the 10 min mark. At it's peak on 1v1, the strongest faction will be OH/USF. Maybe Soviets IF T70 at 320HP holds against 222 spam. OH: March deployment Grens (with passive suppression like current Obers) and Pio spam by default. And that doesn't get even close to first week release Osstruppen/Assault Grenadiers. Transition into mini KV8 FHT and 10f 222 spam. Not sure if OG MG42 is even needed. SU: they have plenty of things which will be broken on teamgames and if they can "breath" at all. It's just that they get dragged down by tech costs + CPs + munition. The only thing that MIGHT hold on, it's maxim spam into T70s (320HP with crush) when using Soviet Industry. OKW: it has great mid to late game units but no game breaking units for early game. Truck push (the unit has a cost now and doesn't come at the beginning of the game) exist but it will be arriving later and Kubeljesus is not enough. MG34/Flak HT are strong but not game ending. USF: i think this is the only faction which can rival OH at all and compete for first place. RE volley fire and Ass Engis should be able to hold against OH. While M20 + Stuart does the same against 222 + FHT. Not worth mentioning other options like Elite Rifles, cause i think only Ass Engies can compete with Ass Grens. UKF: it's pretty much similar to OKW. If the game makes it to the 20 min mark, i think Soviets auto win. T3476 ram with main gun destroy + engine dmg/destroy is auto win when combined with fully upgraded infantry or maxim spam. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does 1 vs 1 feel like a big scam? 13 Sep 2020, 21:09 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2020, 20:28 PMOlekman I think it does fix the problem, just in a more straightforward way. If there are only 300 VPs to go and you find yourself in a 2v1 situation, there's more pressure on you to flip an extra VP to your side. Likewise, if you are on 1v2 side, you clearly want to stay there. I think that giving a permanent MP income penalty would be too harsh. Base MGs only have impact on early game rushes - they can't suppress or even damage enemy tanks. At the same time, early game is time when one has to be extra careful with spending their resources, so the MP cost is impactful enough. If you manage to survive into the late game, having spent resources to survive a base rush, then good for you! In case of MP penalty, it would haunt you entire game. Both topics are theoretical for CoH2, but it's interesting thing to discuss for CoH-like genre. I think more of a toggle rather than a permanent function. In: COH2 Gameplay

I think one solution would be to have MG bunkers start inactive, but let players spend MP to permanently activate them. Their activation time would be very short (10-15 seconds maybe), so if you feel a base rush coming in, you can scare it off. You'd still be behind the curve, as you spent resources on base defences, but at least you'd still be in the game. But that doesn't fix the problem, it just makes games shorter by default. I want to see stalled games occur when there's a bigger intention on both parts on actually trying to cap the VPs. So even though the bleed is faster, you are still "rewarded" the moment you put units under fire inside a VP. Whether you are able to can/neutralize it or not. In that direction with bunkers, it would be better rather than needing mp to activate them, that instead it would incur in a mp gain penalty. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?13 Sep 2020, 02:30 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2020, 09:35 AMVipper What I find interesting is how everyone is talking about abounded vehicles being captured by the enemy while in some cases abounded vehicles can be captured by the original owner. Imo since participants did not the mechanism it is fine that it has been removed but imo the mechanism is fine and it should not be removed from the game. The game in it core has RNG elements and that is positive thing about it. Would u agree that the mechanism could be improved? Talking about other RNG elements, i found that the explosion from flamethrowers could be raised, as it only happens now on the last model. Not necessary higher explosive dmg but rather more lasting flames in the ground. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?12 Sep 2020, 08:43 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2020, 05:48 AMmrgame2 thats my view, i think abandon now is at a very non critical game changer, but still gives a nice dose of flavor. same thing, as AA gun shooting recon planes and crash into my healing spot, wiping my squads. painful when happens, but i appreciate its rng because it can happens to both players Well, crashing planes had been nerf. AoE + damage has been reduce drastically and only straight accurate crashes are deadly. And even then, it's not as game ending cause unless you have all your 1 model left squads bunch up, you won't lose them and you won't randomly be giving them to the enemy. The problem is not that there is RNG. The problem are the correlation between the effects and the results. You keep giving, sorry to say, stupid arguments such as lower TTK (which is the opposite as the game was more deadly on release), 100% outcome results or the whole mocking "esports ready". RNG can both be well or badly implemented. If not we should just go back as to how the game was on release. Grenades randomly killing just 2 models or wiping a full 5 man squads. Flamer exploding after a single encounter in the game. Vehicles surviving getting killed because they would get engine damage, main gun destroy, heavy engine damage etc. before getting killed. If you read my previous post, you would realise i don't mind that the game can throw you different scenarios players need to adapt. The problem is rewarding or punishing a player by NOT DOING ANYTHING to accomplish that result. IF someone recons + Stuka dive bombs one of your units and the game 5% randomly rewards you with an abandoned is just stupid. IF players have some certain degree on how, when and where an abandoned can occur, then it means they can make thoughtful decisions regarding those risks. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?12 Sep 2020, 05:30 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2020, 04:30 AMmrgame2 can you predict RNG is live sports? /boom RNG in RL sports comes from factors such as weather (rain, wind) with the equivalent on CoH been something as small as RNG on small arm fire. Abandoned vehicle equivalent IRL would be like a football fan entering the field, wounding a player and that team no longer having any replacement whatsoever. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?12 Sep 2020, 05:26 AM While this sounds complicated, the main idea is to give certain parameters as to how abandoned occurs, increasing the chances when this factors are in place. It also increase the risk n cost vs the reward of higher value vehicles, as well as making them a bit more resilient to destroy. Damage thresholds are there so units will definitely die when facing bigger targets or equals in the case of tanks. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why the hypocrisy over abandon RNG?12 Sep 2020, 05:19 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2020, 20:34 PMGachiGasm ... +1 It's all about implementation. For example, concept wise, Blizzard was an interesting mechanic badly implemented. It was both poorly balanced and had little to no interaction between player and effect. Including ice and deep snow. I had written in the past how i would had like to see it been reworked at the time but that's chat for another thread. In regards to abandoned vehicles, this is what i had thought it should be. This also changes current wreckage mechanics. -If a vehicle dies at perfect 0 HP, then the wreckage HP value is 100% and it's value it's equal to the original vehicles HP. Right now it's always 50% (which screws with scavenge mechanics, specially after the nerf). If possible, excess damage over the 0HP mark, translates directly 1:1 towards the HP value of the wreckage. Say a Cromwell at 160HP get's hit by a pak43 (320dmg), then it will die and the wreckage value will be set at 480HP. -Abandoned vehicles are a special type of wreckage. There's 3 types, light car, light tank and the rest (medium/heavies). Artillery vehicles can't be abandoned. For scavenge mechanics, they are considered to always be at 100% value, regardless of HP value. Light tanks and cars behave exactly as like now (neutral 1% HP vehicle) which can be recrewed at any point and cost nothing (outside of model count requirements). They will always have engine damage or worst. -Abandoned med/heavies will always start at 50% HP. Armor value is 40 (small arm doesn't penetrate). Vehicles in this state CAN'T be recrewed. Once repairs get towards 100% the vehicle becomes the current model of "abandoned" vehicle at 26% HP. At this point the vehicle can be recrewed but it will still have both main gun destroy + heavy engine dmg (med) or destroyed (heavies). -Abandoned vehicle is a death crit only produced by certain value of damage against specific targets. Offmaps of any kind, don't trigger abandone vehicle crit. Light cars: only damage source with values inferior to 40 (small arm fire + far AoE from grenades or indirect fire). Light tanks: values inferior to 101 dmg Med/Heavy tanks: values inferior 160 dmg. -Recrewing an abandoned vehicle cost 25% of the fuel cost of the vehicle. -Increase abandoned chance to 25%-50%. -Optional: anything above light tanks can't be abandoned in sectors which borders either base.
