Thread: Weapon racks for Germans or remove them completely?2 Dec 2015, 21:56 PM Weapon racks = all units with weapon slots can pick them up. Weapon racks for any available squad to use was one of USF's pros, so they will lose that luxury completely (since brits have convenient weapon racks) if everyone else can. Er, everyone but Soviets, of course. LMGs and AT rifles are doctrinal. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British mortar30 Nov 2015, 14:06 PM If someone builds a mortar pit and consolidates their forces to defend it, then simply capture the rest of the map and try to cut off that defended sector. 400 mp that sits there draining mp is more hazardous to the brit player than to the player that gets by avoiding it.

Thread: Comet can't pen29 Nov 2015, 23:46 PM There are several pet peeves with the Comet that make it slightly annoying to use... Smoke/phosphorous oftentimes doesnt fire and ability cancels itself (but the ability has much more range than the main gun, and phosphorous kills infantry, so...) And its grenade muni ability with super small AoE also doesnt work as a result as well. Target ground vs vehicles will never hit the vehicle. And the bugged animation from Alpha where the Comet "pens" but doesnt do damage... (Mentioned by Mittens) The panther should keep better AT and win vs Comet most times, but the Comet has much better AI and abilities instead. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Tactical Support Company Commander26 Nov 2015, 10:29 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2015, 09:03 AMVipper The issue is more design so it not really assumptions. This commander can be used to create lmg blobs that can reinforcement on the field while it has better tools than any other USF commanders to counter blobs. Mobile suppression platform, off map suppression/damage at CP 6 and rocket support. --- So I guess applying the same logic, Comets out of "Mechanized Armor Kampaneya" would not "technically" create any new "drastic issues" because they already exist. --- This commander gives USF playes access into too many things that previously did not have or where limited by other factors... LMG blobs reinforced on the field are nothing new. Its also pretty closely related to them retreated just a short way to a forward medic truck (okw blobs) or USF ambulance. A simple strafing plane can be balanced as long as its priced right and it isnt 2013 (skillplans gallore) Also, if the commander counters blobs so well, then a wise enemy would not blob as a result. The toughest form of rocket support firing the most rockets does have the most questionable air around it, which will be determined by the amount of whine on its first week of action. --- "Technically" in terms of balance, yes. It would be a design problem (and in your post clarify the commander as a design problem)... But in this situation, its not as drastic as that - its taxed by having a high CP count for light armor and costing more in MP for a vehicle crew as well, isnt that a form of compensation? In fact, people will complain about CP and the extra cost. USF does this with M15 AA halftrack as well, having a mobile suppression platform behind riflemen. Cant really complain about a reinforcing normal Halftrack following infantry as thats counterable and already present. --- So... Since this is a design problem, the commander should be drastically different/cant exist? Look at feuersturm - gives OKW access to flame weapons and an offmap - things limited/previously not available, and look how powerful it is MVGame. Predicting design flaws without seeing all the variables present (all builds, vs all factions) IS assumption. Threads like these can only be truly credible once the darn commander is available for everyone to use in a live/soon to be live version of the game. I dont feel like arguing based on one simple stream of someone trying their best to use abilities/units from the commander more than the stock arsenal. Besides, its no new thing that USF overall is strong in 1v1. USF has to try really hard to be noticeable among Brits and Soviets in big games, so a commander giving itself recognition in these games couldnt be much of a crime. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tactical Support Company Commander26 Nov 2015, 08:27 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2015, 22:31 PMVipper My prediction is that this commander will create serious balance issues. The lmgs will promote blobing that will be further be promoted by the M5. Countering the blob with a blob will not be a good option since this commander seem to have some of the best counter blob tools in any USF commander. Quads, Strafing runs that pin and damage and calliope. In General this commander gives to USF many tools that they did not have so far and I am assuming that this will be problematic. USF get a 2 squad tough transport/ a tough front-line reinforcement vehicle. (no tech cost) A moving pinning platform in the Quad (no tech cost). A pinn/damage off-map. A rocket artillery (no tech cost) low CP and no limit in numbers, that seem to be able to take artillery counter fire or a couple of ballistic shots. Imo this commander will create lots of problems especially in games bigger than 1vs1. I guess will have to test before giving my opinion but my prediction is it will create lots of problems. M1919s have already existed, and they arent creating any new issues. Quadmount comes at 5 CP where many counters exist. In the stream, a stuart lived and died before 5 CP even comes... And the M5 quadmount is not a new enemy for OKW/Ostheer to handle. It also costs 80 more mp than usual... Technically, the Calliope is the only thing that should create any new drastic issues simply because its new. 16 rockets per volley? And survives four shots from most AT sources. Cant wait for the complaints. However, its 380 mp, 140 fuel, rather slowish, and not too easy to vet... And not teching to major is a bad idea. Only bazookas, AT gun, and technically m20 become the only counters to vehicles if you ignore to get him. I do not see it as a major-skipping commander as the guy lost the game as a result (manpower attrition as well, as usual). 10 CP is not low CP; its not a heavy tank. Pershing is 13 CP. I hate threads like these and responses like mine because it isnt accurate to make assumptions from one stream. Lets just wait and see - stats arent always final. I kind of suspect nerfs after enough people have bought the commander, though... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tactical Support Company Commander26 Nov 2015, 08:13 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2015, 07:58 AMEsxile Probably a good commander to skip T1. I'm waiting to see the M5 cost but if it can reinforce in any territories, the commander may become meta and replace the infantry one in my roster (if I loot him). At least in the stream, it is 350 mp, 30 fuel, and 5 popcap. It should reinforce like the m5, because it is a more manpower expensive m5... A captain commander it looks like. In: COH2 Balance
