Thread: Sherman Firefly20 Dec 2015, 22:41 PM Rework Firefly Nerf tulip. Less damage or make it only fire one rocket but cost less for the same cooldown. Increase rate of fire, so it's slightly slower than Jackson (0.5 or 1 second slower) Decrease shot damage to 160 Increase penetration a fair bit Basically, the Jackson and Firefly will be complementary TDs for different tasks, with the Jackson having better damage but lower penetration. The Jackson is better at hitting Mediums, while the Firefly is better at hitting heavies. The Firefly will also have more health and better armor, which along with (nerfed) tulips justifies its higher cost despite having worse DPS against mediums. This would also be "more realistic" in some sense, with the FF's 17 pounder being more effective at armor penetration, particularly with APDS, but using a smaller calibre shell (thus less damage per shot).

Thread: Why can USF inf pickup dual upgrades?20 Dec 2015, 22:32 PM Make 1919's slightly better, but take up 2x weapon slots and cost maybe 80. Double BAR is fine, double Zook is fine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 17 dec patch notes18 Dec 2015, 00:43 AM Hope so. The 17 Pounder Emplacement and FF getting it is good, but the Comet is the most important and widely used of the 3. A surprising oversight really, given how uncommon the other two are in comparison. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Company Of Heroes 317 Dec 2015, 12:49 PM Company of Heroes III Base Game: 1940 setting. France vs Germany. Expansion Pack: 1940-41 setting. United Kingdom vs Italy Benefits: - Doesn't repeat parts of the war already covered, but does still stick with the WWII setting. - Doesn't take us into completely alien types of combat like a Pacific game might. - Allows North African setting which would be new in the series. - Allows French and Italians, 2 brand new factions (vs 1 new faction for CoH2 since PE and OKW are both just "the other Germans"). - Would allow Germans to feel quite different as a light weight, mobile striking force instead of dug in heavy hitters. - Actually allows a non-German axis faction to be viable in the MP for the setting! - No Tigers, no Panthers. Lets us use early war tanks as viable stock units for more variety instead of cliche stuff we see every WWII game. - NO PANZERSHRECKS In: Lobby
Thread: Brits need overhaul next17 Dec 2015, 03:12 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2015, 07:36 AMFiresparks the problem with balancing tommies is how to handle their 4 men size in the early game and 5 men size later on. Either they are going to decent late game and under-powered early on, or decent early game and overpowered later. Tone down vet Rec Acc bonuses or something to compensate, but they need to be stronger earlier. Brits can survive with the rest of their stuff later on, but have historically been mediocre in the starting game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50. Cal and Vickers vs OKW15 Dec 2015, 22:43 PM I assume Vickers dealing less suppression is made worse by the fact that suppression modifiers are (iirc) calculated based on how many models are near the incoming fire, rather than how many squads are. So cons get suppressed quicker than grens when taking fire from the same weapon. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: December 10Th Hotfix11 Dec 2015, 04:48 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2015, 04:03 AMnee The bad thing is that it makes the OKW HQ truck idea a sham since it ends up being just like Ostheer/ Soviet base buildings. At that point you might as well just limit HQ trucks to HQ sector. HQ trucks were viable when they were more expensive proportional to their economy (with the fuel income), so we know they will still be viable with a modest bump to delay their teching. Forward retreats are really powerful, so is the Flak. The Mech HQ isn't as useful for its passive ability, but it's still good and it has units that we're trying to slow the appearance of slightly.

Thread: December 10Th Hotfix11 Dec 2015, 00:52 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2015, 00:06 AMOmega_Warrior The reason they didn't increase tech costs is because it would make losing your HQ a death sentence. They should be punished for losing an HQ but they still need to be able to come back from that. Encouraging conservative placement of HQs would actually be a good thing, imo. It would limit the no-brainer status of forward retreats and help bring them a bit more in line with other factions in big team games. Increasing HQ costs by 10-15 fuel accross the board (depending on which building we're talking about) would delay tech, and further adding one or two sidegrades in the central HQ building would allow you to have those things without as much risk. My previous proposed sidegrades would be Grenade Package (Volks + Ober grenade unlocked) and Weapon Package (Shrek + Ober LMG upgrade unlocked), each maybe 125/10 or 125/15. Then you can revert or partially revert most of these fuel nerfs to vehicles. In: COH2 Gameplay
