Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback9 Jan 2021, 19:53 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 19:47 PMVipper If grenadier are the "cheapest" mainline infatry than they are simply list cost efficient infatry because 3-4 conscripts, 3-4 riflemen, 3-4 tommies are all viable strategies while 4 grenadier is not. That's not how efficiency works. Ostheer are probably one of the factions with slowest starts (unless they go doctrinal) so repeating the "cheapest argument" means very little because it does not really translate to an advantage. Its not supposed to. That's how balance works. Different factions have different opening build orders. Opening with sniper as soviets will never have same impact as opening with sniper as ost. So I suggest we stop with this myth. Then stop pretending grenspam should be on pair with mainlines that do not have instant access to best HMG in game and all AI support weapons in a single, cheap, fast to build building. Viable grenspam is a myth. Each unit has a cost to buy and the price of grenadier is 240 which is the same as conscripts. True. Just as true is that side upgrades that affect cons exclusively inflate cost of cons, while nothing inflates cost of grens, because there is nothing you can pay fuel for that affects them exclusively.

You can say the same for the VSL ugprade too on the firepower, there is nothing else but 1 g43 added. Yes you are correct in the survivability, but the survivability isn't anything that allied factions don't already have (More models per squad). Received acc bonus is already going away with the patch anyway. Let me remind you that SVTs are in line with any other weapon upgrade and cons just lost additional acc at vet3. Also, survivability is not a forte of ost squads. An ability that boosts it considerably has a different effect and impact then if it was given to allies who already relay on it deeply. VSL to grens is what LMGs to penals are - something that doesn't naturally belong to the faction and something with potential to completely break the unit. VSL is broken upgrade atm and patch is bringing it with line. Just cope with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback9 Jan 2021, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 17:55 PMVipper Both grenadier and conscripts cost 240 manpower to buy. SVT conscripts cost 240/60mu at CP 1 and VSL grenadier cots 270/60mu at CP 2 One offers a minor increase in firepower. Other offers increase in firepower, removal of vet ability cost, massive increase in squad durability through additional model and another massive increase in squad durability through rec acc increase. Yeah, there is clear disparity of benefits for the cost, even considering timing difference, there is nothing at 2CP providing anything comparable to VSL. In: COH2 Balance

OKW first strike bonus are available from vet 3 and vet 5 (XP 4320/14298) Soviet ones are doctrinal or on a shitty unit. OKW ones are on potent, constantly buffed techless ATG and strong tank destroyer that doesn't easily deal exclusively with doctrinal heavy armor and even that changes with right doctrine.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback9 Jan 2021, 17:44 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 17:23 PMMr Carmine If svt makes cheap cons over preform, then what does vsl to cheaper grens? +SVT for cons was already nerfed together with actual crutch of the doctrine its in. VSL nerf is long overdue. For what the upgrade provides atm, it should be 100 muni one or nerfed as in the preview. And nerf was the only reasonable option, because you know, otherwise it would only be a power creep. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback9 Jan 2021, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 12:53 PMVipper In the June 21 patch before M36 for it HP increased it had it acceleration increased to 3 as bandaid "M36 Jackson Developer Comments: Increased LOS to allow the M36 to better kite, locate and hunt enemy armor without boosting its firepower any further. ... Tank acceleration increased from 2.5 to 3 ... Since not the performance has been increased one sould revert this change. Are we going to re-instate its sight range too, because it lost that advantage, as well as axis armor got their own performance boosts? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback9 Jan 2021, 12:40 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 12:33 PMthekingsown10 The Brummbar is far from a perfect unit... if you want a perfect unit I suggest you look at the SU152 and the Comet. You know units with NO weaknesses. I'm 100% convenienced you would fail with both of them just as badly if not worse. Now back to the Brummbar , the Ostwind is a far better choice 90% of the time and it's cheaper. The Brummbar is far to micro intensive to able to utilize the gun properly along with it's pitiful range and slow rate of fire. It's auto fire is an absolute mess. If AoE unit with virtually zero scatter is too hard for you to use, then use the other one if its nets you better result. You can scream bad artisan as much as you like but facts are facts and let's not also forget your laughable play time in CoH 2 Said a player with 2000 rank and single faction played exclusively, struggling for 40% win ratio in 4v4. The only fact here is you have no idea how to play and are blaming own powerful units for that. I can't even imagine how bad someone who fails with brummbar must be. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback9 Jan 2021, 12:20 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 11:53 AMthekingsown10 It's so cumbersome and clunky though and it's accuracy , range and tracking are piss poor. I for what am shocked they have reduced armor. The Brumbbar is underperforming right now along with the Stug E which hasn't been touched at all despite being the worst unit in the game. Bad artisan will always blame the tools, regardless how perfect they are. The only thing to be shocked about here is the fact that someone can actually fail at using brummbar with its gun stats. Had allies had a unit like that as stock, there would be no end to you posting about removing it from the game completely. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion8 Jan 2021, 11:01 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2021, 08:47 AMVipper The problem of JP simply is not the Panther. If one want to fight allied medium one has little reason to invest more resources than unit he fighting especially since JP can not chase the medium and can even be circle strafed. One is facing allied medium he is better of building a PzIV that can fight them but also has AI for similar price. Firefly, SU-85 and Jackson all cost more then ost P4 and their respective meds can fight ost P4 only until vet2, then its one way stomp and its not like P4 doesn't have advantage already up to that point. Don't mention SU-76 until it stops being an unused meme. So... what you are basically saying is allies TDs should be cheaper or their meds buffed to P4 level? In: COH2 Balance
