Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression17 Oct 2013, 10:49 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2013, 10:34 AMNullist Post ignored due to ad hominem. Also, crying about not being able to beat a unit with a Muni upgrade, that is being actively reinforced, at cost, onfield by a vehicle that is purchased for fuel, is pretty funny. Replying to my posts even though I made it perfectly clear to you that I didn't want to have anything more to do with a forum sociopath is also funny. In: COH2 Gameplay

Please do state where I attacked you personally in my previous post. Referring to an unnamed unskilled player as dumb is hardly ad hominem. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression17 Oct 2013, 10:30 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2013, 08:25 AMNullist Ofc its not, nor should it be. The Cons can however cripple the HT and significantly dmg it and the Cons and Penals can still cause significant attrition to the Grens (Especially from the Penals) which the Ost must reinforce, at cost. Yeah, in a perfect world where the HT player is dumb enough to let them get to it, sure. In reality for us who actually play the game and avoid forum warrioring 24/7 the story is different, good players have found the U button if you know what I mean. If you go penals/conscripts early game and actually think you're going to succeed in flanking a good german players mg's and what not, you are mistaken. Terribly mistaken. Especially when the halftrack comes out and you realise you don't have any anti tank at all apart from the short range tank grenade which hardly is something you can rely on early - mid game. Add to that the flaming capability the halftrack gets that literally eats conscripts in seconds. Sure, the tank grenade does some damage but you'd need 2 grenades, possibly three if you get unlucky with main gun damaged or what not. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression17 Oct 2013, 08:13 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2013, 20:31 PMMetaStable14 Um... So what is your point? You think T1 for soviets need an easier way to fight German support crews - specifically mg's? T1 or T2 with conscripts has the tools necessary to deal with German T1 and T2. If you actually think that conscripts and penals are going to be enough versus a german player with a halftrack with lmg grenadiers nearby that he keeps reinforcing then you are mistaken. More often than not a zis-3 is a bare minimum unless you want to get steamrolled. In: COH2 Gameplay

I would prefer it more if they received an hoorah ability like conscripts but instead of giving them a speed boost it gave them a suppression breaker to help kite around the outer edges of the field of fire (this may be unbalanced though). Charging them at machine guns is a terrible idea. They are a 360 mp unit you are using to take out a 240 mp unit and you are fine with them taking casualties? Last I checked the stats - and I believe I am interpreting them correctly - penals are the soviet soft counter/equivalent for lmg upgraded grens. They do very similar damage, require a similar timescale of resources and have near the same health no? I think a better fix would be to just reduce the reinforcement cost a bit, maybe not down to script level but a bit lower so they are less of a manpower drain. Yea, the big difference though is that Penals are built from a completely different building. This disables you from using mortar, anti tank guns and machine guns because they are built from a separate building. So, if you go penals you basically have snipers or penals to choose from which is why people are discussing the possibility of penals being immune to mg fire. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression16 Oct 2013, 10:40 AM Yeah why not. But I would much sooner see an Anti tank upgrade to penals but yea, making them immune to supression would actually make them useful. This way, you could actually run on the edge of a german mg, flank it and not worry about if the RNG will make your squad hit the ground the first burst or the second burst. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Blitzkrieg tactics balance issue12 Oct 2013, 16:22 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2013, 15:57 PMOZtheWiZARD You forget however that AT nade is not 100% success anymore. Against Panthers (tank that benefits the most from Blitz) it's deflection more often than not. Not to mention that even reaching the throwing range can be tricky. I've been thinking about the blitz issue a lot lately and this is the main reason why I think it should be disabled when engine is damaged. AT grenades are not 100% guaranteed a damaged engine on panthers, don't know if they're even 100% on Pz4's either. It's not like it's super easy to cause engine damage unless you charge the tank with conscripts, as you are sure to take losses if you do something like that. A soviet player should get some kind of benefit from sacrificing his men to get engine damaged, blitz disabled is one way to do it. I'd prefer to disable the blitz ability completely for one reason: The damage an AT grenade does is pretty much nothing, you can repair that damage in no time plus the fact that it's not a guaranteed engine damage either, especially on panthers who benefit the most from this ability.

Thread: Blitzkrieg tactics balance issue11 Oct 2013, 09:14 AM I still think this issue is one of the top reasons any 2v2/3v3/4v4 becomes unbalanced lategame because you simply have no way to counter hit and run PzIV's and Panthers just rushing in, taking out whatever you have and then running away with blitzkrieg despite the engine being damaged. Blitz + engine damaged is pretty much the same speed a T34 runs at normal speed. How the hell is that balanced? Carefully placing mines, keeping conscripts in certain locations to drop a tank grenade to hinder their advance is just a big joke. This game is not about tactics when you can ignore tactic elements through one unbalanced ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balancing should be done first in 4vs4 then downward9 Oct 2013, 16:42 PM I think balancing 4v4 depends more on balancing the huge maps that have tons of capture points. Removing fuel gain from regular points and only getting fuel from actual fuel points is one way to do it. This is a safe and efficient way to prevent tank spamming in 4v4 that won't interfere with 1v1 / 2v2 balance. In: COH2 Balance
