Thread: Remove Shreck from Volks11 Feb 2015, 18:01 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2015, 17:58 PM__deleted__ Because that wont work. Volks without Schrecks and meaningful weapon upgrade would literally break OKW and make Volks all but useless. Also, 3 StGs does not Shocks make. Shocks have smoke, 80% (?) accuracy on the move with the strongest close range DPS in the game, and most importantly, armor. Which at Vet 3 isnt as good as the Recieved Accuracy of Volks. That is my comparison. No at first they wouldnt be bad. But STGs would increase their XP gain much like Shreks. Combine this with their cheap cost (low XP pool) and youll have an incredibly durable and cheap version of Shock Troops lite come mid game. I fail to see if Soviets can get buy with Scripts OKW couldnt with Volks working in the same fashion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove Shreck from Volks11 Feb 2015, 17:36 PM Why not just make Volks 240 MP and Conscript 2.0 longer range DPS Scripts win up close blah blah blah. Give them Pfaust and sure they will outscale conscripts but lets be honest here. What doesnt? If you give them STG44s and keep their Vet the same ummmm 235 MP non doctrinal Shock Troops anyone?

Thread: okwunits10 Feb 2015, 23:35 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:19 PMAlexzandvar Why not just remove it then? I mean if you make it 180 munitions you better make it so it never drops and make the squad a lot more durable since I think you are failing to recognize how much munitions that is for a resource starved faction. Your much more likely to see more people spaming volks rather than putting MP into Obers. I would be fine with a price reduction for Obers in return for them losing the LMG all together and gaining a squad member. Thats kind of my point. The strength of OKW is elite units and elite vet. They pay for this with reduced fuel and muni income. If they dont need an abudance of muni NOR an abundance of fuel to compete then its not much of a punishment. That would be like giving USF a fuel penalty and making all their teching Free. That wouldnt be much of a penalty. OKW has no reason to really use Muni once Shreks are acquired. And due to Shreks/Obers dont really need armor either. Their manpower is also not penalized. So you get the current Meta. Kill everything MP blob with only the required 270 Muni and the rest turned into fuel. OKW would still retain all their power but would have to CHOSE what to get. They couldnt have their cake and eat it too. If they want Shreks FINE get em! No AI though so you better get a Luchs or FlakHT. And if you lose those your in trouble so Panther may not be a no brainer anymore either. Cant have Shreks and Crutch on Obers for AI anymore! Alternatively no shreks so you better get a Puma/JP4/Rak (that needs a buff) and use the Muni for your AI. So go ahead get that Panther but if you lose it your SCREWED! OH I WANT BOTH!? Well let me convert fuel to muni! See I just made OKW interesting and not mindless. This was how it was before the Muni increase when I loved to play OKW. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: okwunits10 Feb 2015, 23:15 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:02 PMAlexzandvar You know how insanely expensive 180 munitions is for OKW right? The unit with out the LMG34 loses to shocks every time despite costing more. If you want to change Obers just make the LMG34 less powerful, or gate it behind a reasonable amount munitions and reduce the price of the squad or just give them a 5th man. I do. Yet I see 3x Shreks every single game. And the DPS of the LMG32 and the fact it doesnt drop out of DPS until the last model is killed is powerful. Also it adds a tactical choice and a reason for Convert Fuel to Muni to exist. As it stands its buy Shreks negate fuel penalty... A perfect example of relying on this is when people used to go with PFuse who have recieved no nerf. But once people caught on to how strong Obers are it fell out of favor. If 180 turns out to be too much then tone it down. But it shouldnt cost as little as ABs upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: okwunits10 Feb 2015, 22:56 PM I dont see a problem with the Stuka but I play 1v1 so dont see it that often. It whipes real good but so do demos. Granted a Demo isnt as mobile and you cant aim them. But both punish blobbing harder then anything else and I think thats great. But Obers even at 500MP would be a steal. I think their MP should remain the same or lowered slightly and the LMG32 should be 180 Muni. That way kills three birds with one stone: 1.) Less Shreks if you want Obers no need to nerf Shreks 2.) No instantly arriving battle turning Obersoldaten Badasses. Like Paras they need to pay for the badassness 3.) Something more for OKW to spend muni on rather then just getting shreks and converting to fuel. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sWS Supply HT speed reduction10 Feb 2015, 22:50 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 22:35 PMAlexzandvar It should be able to move in uncaptured territory fine, as most of the time you will rush the fuel or another critical point with your sturms and have the sWS move into position before back capping to allow it to set up (This assumes you don't use it to push) why add extra hassle when you can just remove it's ability to collide with infantry? I dont really care. As long as pushing with it is not viable. But making a speed change in uncapped territory already has a precedent. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sWS Supply HT speed reduction10 Feb 2015, 22:28 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 22:22 PMAlexzandvar Why not just make it so Sturms can make the builds themselves if it annoys you so bad. I really don't see the point of the truck existing if you want to force it to just die instantly the minute a single infantry unit looks at it. I dont think thats everyones opinion. I think the truck needs to stay durable as it is. So it can get to Point A to B as slow as it goes. But I like the idea if the Area is uncapped it moves REAL SLOW like Engine Damaged Truck Slow. This way if you want to be cute with it you stand a really good chance to lose it. If you are smart and use it to place a building in connected territory as it requires then its not in as much risk. I hate the idea of ultra fragile Ambulance type units in this game. Its just dumb. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sWS Supply HT speed reduction10 Feb 2015, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 21:52 PMAlexzandvar It's a straw man because I never said I was okay with it being able to push, rather, I have stated multiple times I don't think it or any other light vehicle should be able to push. We could argue this all day. Definition of straw man means I took a part of your context and attacked that part ignoring other more important parts. I did not I summed up what you said. And I didnt attack it. If anything it would fall under misrepresentation. I dont think you fully understand how specific those rules flow. But I digress. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sWS Supply HT speed reduction10 Feb 2015, 21:51 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 21:14 PMAlexzandvar You know that is the text book definition of a straw man argument yes? I said I don't think it should be able to push, you can remove it's ability to push with how further nerfing it's health and durability! Which would solve this. You did however go on to say that you think it would be unfair that it CANT push but other light vehicles can. So its not a Straw Man argument but a summation of your posts. I could give you a Straw Man as well as a Fallacy of Composition if you like? In: COH2 Balance
