Thread: 4v4 balance improvement6 May 2021, 19:00 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2021, 17:58 PMTanithScout Snip That's absolutely not true. An entire array of toolsnot massively used in 1v1, and can be used to balance 4v4. The classic is all indirect fire. Building 2 mortars in 1v1 is death, as is building early arty; exception is vs UKF emplacement spam. SHTDs are also just not used in 1v1, its a team tool only. 1v1 only sees 1 heavy tank destroyer generally. Also, and this is gonna really hammer WhiteFlash and the maps guys, a huge amount of 4v4 issues is due to map design. This one is stupid hard to get right. Redball is the most played map and HIGHLY incentizes massive MG play due to the value in forcing super long retreats and the small frontline minimizing required MG count. You can see opposite design attempted with Hill 400, which would be amazing if the fuels weren't problematically far away and relatively easy to lock down. Removing caches and either removing or moving dedicated fuel behind the lines would help mitigate instant 4v4 loses and incentivize pushing as safely holding the fuel is no longer worth more than taking another control point. People seem to enjoy the massive laney arty fests and its stupid time and energy intensive to fix, so probably not worth fixing. Sanders wrote up the necessary changes (at least for UKF). Its just a LOT of work and massive revamping. We've marched towards this more perfect game patch by patch over the years, you can see the arch of progress. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: COH2stats.com match and player statistics 2.06 May 2021, 18:51 PM So, to settle this, JohnSmith means there is Absolutely more plays for both Axis faction in 4v4, which makes sense due to 2v3 factions, as all Allied plays should == all Axis plays. What Hannibal means is the relative play ratio between factions for Axis vs Allies is problematic. OKW vs OST is about 1:1. USF or UKF vs SOV is about 70%. The why for the ratio is trickier. DLC factions, incomplete factions, or straight weaker factions are all likely factors. In: Lobby

Thread: 4v4 balance improvement5 May 2021, 17:44 PM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2021, 16:43 PMLady Xenarra snip Someone didn't take the 2 commanders with SPGs, or its a full Soviet team. I can dream of a day when Infantry and Ro. A aren't spammed. Stick Urban Assault on that pile. The design team stopped the "early mid" stuff a while back in the pursuit of actual game design. The problem with Obers vs USF is the removal of efficient, effective blob control. The Scott and Pack Howi nerfs mean Obers no longer consistently die, so their 40 mp cost is irrelevant. Calliope spam and HE Shermans are the only shock blob control, MGs die to elite inf blobs before suppress. Late game rifles just get slapped by rocket arty, which has no counterplay on super laney maps outside dodging for inf and prayer for team weapons. We really need the stats for 4v4 win rates by map to see if some outliers need reworking/removal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Royal Sappers can´t dislodge gliders5 May 2021, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2021, 16:36 PMadamírcz No, I meant the ability that dislodges structures It works on emplacements, but very often it fails on gliders you can tear down the glider? That I never knew. I like that functionality, but huh. The Sappers also sometimes have issues repairing the glider, I bet it uses the same points. It might need a better hitbox. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: RK 43 5 May 2021, 03:58 AM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2021, 02:36 AMGrumpy Snip The reason for rage is a 3 rak blob is effectively a schreck blob. Pop a shot, try for 2, then retreat at the first sight of pain. Its not necessary good, just incredibly aggravating. Its not a great AT gun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RK 43 4 May 2021, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2021, 19:02 PMjagd wölfe The Pak40 has the same penetration of the Pounder and about the same as the Zis You don't need to spend munitions with anything but heavy tanks to use hvap. In a meta where medium tanks are far more frequent, spending 30 munition for when an heavy tank happens to show up by late game is far from expensive, especially with how good the 57mm becomes. The kicker is Axis armor is normally much higher than Allied, so the Pak (which the 6lber was cloned from) doesn't bounce, while allied AT does. Its a great consistent tank slayer. The stun is basically Tulip rockets with a super long activation time, pretty good icing on the cake. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback4 May 2021, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2021, 18:54 PMKronosaur0s Brings Mortar Pit in the topic, lel this dude man Some indirect counters other indirect. Its fine, we don't add fuel costs to deal with that. Fuel costs are for controlling vehicle count and the associated mobility premium of said vehicles. Exception is tech and towed artillery, which allows cheaper tanks due to upfront teching costs. None of those are related to the 120mm. Just move. In: COH2 Balance
