Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA16 Aug 2021, 17:42 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Aug 2021, 17:20 PMProtos Angelus I don't know what you expect from the Scott? To wipe static team weapons in 6 shots? That would make the balance team screech from OPness. That's why everyone plays Urban Assault, because the Calliope actually DOES do that. Also, the barrage vs the Autoattack has massively different accuracy characteristics, so the Pack Howi 3 shots most HMGS with barrage. Its just the AA is garbage and as such its blob punishment is irrelevant. As long as Allied HMGs cannot reasonably suppress a blob before it runs it over, Allies need some kind of blob removal tool non-doc. USF doesn't have one, neither does UKF. That's why most USF team players go Urban Assault, as it gives that tool in the best commander with that tool. I play a LOT of UKF Land Mattress, and it has saved games vs mass blobbed infantry. I guess the Bulldozer Sherman could have its AI cranked up enough to slaughter blobs, but it would need the survivability to not get quickly murdered in those late game situations. Still, that's a Doctrinal option. The UKF Mortar could be buffed to the point it wins arty duels OR is very cheap and quick to move, but that would be painful to play against. In: Lobby
Thread: Pfuss vs AssEngi16 Aug 2021, 17:31 PM Lack of Focus Fire (the statistic) is the biggest weakness of SMG teams, and why Sturmpios can seem weak sauce. FF is ALSO why Infantry Sections are so strong and were nerfed. Spreading damage across 6 models, I could see Assault Engineers having issues. Just tested on test map, Vet 3 w/ G43s vs Vet 3 at minimum range Assault Engineers win with 1/3 to 1/2 health. At 0 vet, its much closer but Pfusies have the edge. This does NOT include Assault Engineers needing to close the gap. AEs have the normal issue of CQC units, but lacks the tools needed to ACTUALLY close the distance, resulting in Assault Officer Syndrome. Seems good situationally, but they can't actually make that situation. AO is getting serious juice this patch exactly because of this syndrome. I would suggest a smoke grenade, or swap the M10 for the Pershing. Really the Pershing would fix all these issues, as Assault Engineers now have something to shove their incredible repairs into. And its called Armor Company... Edit: fixed Combat -> Assault In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA16 Aug 2021, 17:16 PM Anyone test the new AVRE? its consistent... which may be problematic. With the ST nerf, until Vet 4 its the same as an AVRE. Both will be crazy toxic. I suggest make their range 30, NOT 35. They need to be a big scary threat, not actual wipe machines as shown by Tightrope. Both were rare, but seen when they had effectively 30 range due to projectile speed. On another note, it looks like the B-4 turned out to not actually be a game-breaking issue, just really unpleasant to play against, like all shock artillery. It might be worth decreasing CD on Direct Fire while making the base Barrage CD change. DF is still iffy at 400 dmg due to CD. It was deadly when it did 50+% more. Might I suggest a 30 second DF cd? This would make DF do technically more AT DPS than before, but as it does not one shot the vehicle has time to react. It'd be cool to use DF for actual AT work. In: Lobby

Since when did snipers become OP in this game? This isn't CoH1. This change is going to make them walking meat targets. And furthermore, when did MG population suddenly become an issue? This game has been out for 8 years now and MGs being 6 pop never was a problem. I really wish the balance team would stop touching certain aspects of the game at this point in its life. I also have a massive sour taste in my mouth that Brits are getting tons of buffs and everyone else is getting nerfed. Snipers are classily a MASSIVE problem in competitive 1v1, especially for UKF who's IS just get murdered and who's only recourse is their own sniper, which is regularly run down by ULVs, all of which have bonus accuracy vs snipers. Which the UC will now as well. Also, UKF was just REALLY BAD. Unplayable in a highly competitive sense due to all their weakenesses. They need the buffs, and notice all the buffs are to under performing units. Engies, Base Howis, AO, mild touch-up of armor. In: Lobby

Thread: Increase target size of abandoned team weapon.13 Aug 2021, 04:21 AM Yep. I agree. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA13 Aug 2021, 04:17 AM oh HELL YES. These are all the changes I wanted! ITS SO PRETTY! All the UKF buffs are NOT focused on Sections, artillery works again, the AO is a utility machine, the Ro.Es are now more flexible. ITS SO NICE. some pop reductions on all the armor. FINALLY. I would suggest something for the M3 in Rifle Company, cause it seems to be in a weird spot. In: Lobby

Thread: how to maxim ?!?!????!?!?!?!?!?!?! (3v3)11 Aug 2021, 01:08 AM Get 2. It has some of the BEST AoE suppression radius, so it will suppress an entire blob. It doesn't suppress fast enough by itself though. Otherwise, if you can slow the push and give it time to supress, again great AoE, so you only need 1. Its great to stop Pschrek blob chasing your T34. Also, NO ONE steals a maxim, so OST will leave it where it dies. OKW will convert to fuel. Sustained Fire is also not a joke. It really helps with suppression, but it triggers reload. So you have to do it AS the blob is rolling in. If the blob has Obers and they are spread out to any real degree, its just going to die, not much to be done. In: COH2 Gameplay
