Thread: PTRS now OP?7 Apr 2015, 19:09 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 18:42 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf What did you have in the live game!? I know there was a time when MG spam was a thing but I never said that I want this to happen again. I want HMGs to be reliable blob counters while not being too good vs infantry in general. Is it possible to create some kind of ability that you can only use when there're more than 3 squads in the firing arc of an HMG? An ability that reduces damage but drastically increases AoE suppresion and RoF to effectively deal with blobs woud be nice. Even a Maxim could be good against blobs then. It would also be realistically correct. I mean, if HMG crews see waves of soldiers moving towards them they'd definitley try to get as many bullets as possible out of their gun to stop them. I'm playing with MG42 a lot recently(dual MGs) and they are. Thing is, you need to spot for them. MGs are and will always be force multipliers, not self sufficient area denial machines, that is what bunkers are for. When encountering PTRS squads you need to think as well, so not only keep pios nearby to spot for MG so it unloads from max range and lets that AoE suppression modifiers to kick in fully, but also move pios/grens in for kills when everything is suppressed to force him off asap, after doing that repair HMG. I have yet to see a single axis player to repair HMGs after chasing PTRS off, which leads to them breaking in the following encounter. You wouldn't use half broken tank in direct combat, so why are you people using half broken HMGs? You are making a huge mistake if you put equal sign between "stops blobs" and "wins single handedly against 4-6x times the resources invested". Lone ele won't stop 5 T34s, lone KV-8 won't stop 5 shreck volks, lone MG won't stop blob by itself. There is no imbalance here, but common sense. And inb4 alex reply-its not 4v4 post, its not pure theorycraft post, its not post about reading wrong values, misinterpreting numbers or just spreading false numbers, so there is nothing within your field of expertise to respond to.

Thread: WHAT ABOUT SU85 ??7 Apr 2015, 17:48 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 15:59 PMdbmb I wouldn't mind it seeing it get the Jackson treatment. Increase pen, lower damage. Gives it more of a chance vs end-game heavies (tiger, king tiger, panther, jagdpanzer) while preventing it from completely dominating t3 play (p4, ostwind, luchs get a bit more time on the field) Increasing mobility or front armour on a unit that has very high sight range is going to lead to trouble. It's a TD that doesn't need spotting, hence it must remain fragile. If it was to get lower damage then it is, it would turn out as worst TD in game. Bad mobility. Bad survivability. Unable to hit anything on the move. And last thing we need is for it to struggle to kill P4(which would be a direct result from lowering its damage). Lack of turret ensures that it will never dominate T3. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: PTRS now OP?7 Apr 2015, 13:26 PM They already arrive late for PTRS. I can see a cost increase working now that they actually do stuff, anymore CPs and they won't be even possible to counter light armor, because they'll arrive too late. But would be careful with it too, every single ability in the doctrine is muni ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Brummbar7 Apr 2015, 13:24 PM Well, I use it sometimes, had it used against me last night, apparently it gave no shit about AT guns or PTRS cons. Some weeks(maybe december? derp) ago Stephenn used it to destroy like 4 or 5 tanks, so yes, it deals effetively with T34s. Pathing is its most issue, not firepower. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Brummbar7 Apr 2015, 12:52 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 11:58 AMButcher You don´t need to have Panthers and Tigers to fight off T-34s and Su-85s. In 90% of all cases you are going to face IS-2 and/or T-34/85 call ins. In this meta a Brummbär doesn´t help either. Yes, you are going to face sooo many IS-2s and T34/85s when playing against Tank Hunter doctrine. @ATCF Brummbar deflection damage is 50%. 33% is passive stun chance. Its quite handy and will penetrate easily almost all mediums(only Ez8 will deflect) and help against heavies by supporting paks. Its not best vehicle around because of pathing reasons, but it got its spot and works well within it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What maps do you miss from CoH17 Apr 2015, 11:57 AM NOT SEMOISKY, god, take it away, please. What was called the 2v2 pretty big one with a lot of hedges? That one was nice. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M10 Cost7 Apr 2015, 11:37 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 11:24 AMStrummingbird 0.03 means 2/3 chance of hitting a tank, and ~80% chance of hitting a large tank at max range. 0.04 means a 90% chance of hitting medium armor at max range, and a 100% chance of hitting a large tank at max range. Definitely not inadequate. Hit stop just before it completes reload and fires, that improves accuracy significantly (applies to every vehicle). It doesn't need to come to a complete halt, as long as you hit stop. This applies to every situation- if you know the approximate reload, even if you're chasing a target vehicle, you're better off hitting 'stop' for a split second just before your own vehicle fires instead of just pursuing at full speed. You can't really say that without including target size for the accurate comparison. Not all mediums and heavies have same target size, which means same 0.03 and 0.04 accuracy will give different results based on target as well as distance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Tiger ace7 Apr 2015, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 06:24 AMJohnnyB Relic made this tank to be no more than a vet 3 Tiger with a higher vew range and a pineaple camo, it comes at 15 CP, it settles income penalties for the owning faction and now you want a fuel price for it? I'm sorry, but I am simply astonished. I am trying real hard to be constructive here and not say anything else. So this is my single post on this thread: if you want a fuel cost for it, you better ask for it to come sooner than after game is over and wait to see if you received a war spoil box. Thanks to TWP and smoke as well as higher health it is quite a bit more then just vet3 Tiger with better view range. TA won't even struggle against IS-2 when normal tiger will. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Brummbar7 Apr 2015, 11:24 AM Well, it deals extremely well with PTRS blobs and its not like you'll need tigers or panthers against T34s or SU-85s. In: COH2 Gameplay
