Profile of Cabreza

Whatever happened to the idea of just putting a 2x shreck upgrade on sturmpios and calling it a day? They'd essentially mirror pgrens and the timing could be tied to tech to avoid super early shrecks.

• Reduce Volks base dmg back to 10 or 11.
  
• Remove kubal caps 15% faster.
  
• Adjust long range accuracy of pnzrshrek or swap with panzerfaust oooorrrrr give the the same stats as the bazooka.
  
• Reduce health of luchs to > 400 or match t70 health.
  
• Add side tech to unlock engineers/medics/flakHQ upgrades, reduce overall fuel price of tanks to compensate for new MP and fuel sinks.
  
• Add side tech for flame nades or possibly shrek
  
• AEC could use a slight turret rotation adjustment.
  
• Reduce USF nade tech to 15 fuel. M1919 should be allowed for a max 1 per squad.
  
• Reduce USF med truck MP by 50mp - 200 rather than 250
  
• Reduce Brit Arty flares scatter, increase AOE slightly to make them a more area denial tool. Increase price by 15-25 muni
  
• Up Jackson HP to add more survivability, should take more than 2 panther rounds to kill.
  
• OKW flak half track should receive a slight buff, increase LOS.
  
• Goliath should have 0 LOS just like other demos
  
• Slight increase in accuracy or damage to the pental MG for Panther
  
  Let me know what you guys think.

Overall a pretty decent. Couple of thoughts:

The double whammy of paid truck upgrades AND weapon unlocks might be a bit excessive for OKW even with vehicle prices brought back in line. It really depends on how much each truck upgrade would be and how well OKW can do without relying upon those upgrades while rushing armor. My gut feeling is that in it's current state OKW probably doesn't actually need to rely on any truck upgrades (med/repair/flak) prior to producing it's first medium tank in 1v1 though.

Additional Jackson survivability might be a bit of a problem given how effective the M10 became once it received that extra 160 hp. The Jackson already survives two panther shots, just not three. If you meant the M8 Scott though I agree, that vehicle needs at least 400hp as it is currently far to fragile for when it arrives and what it does.

Another area that really needs looking at is soviet T1. Soviets are currently balanced in 1v1 games but as has been mentioned T1 is currently dead outside of producing M3s to hunt Kubels. For the sake of variety T1 needs some improvements to Penals (better mid/long range damage profile) and Snipers (one 82 health model) to make it a strategically viable option again.

I think people are talking about 3 different things: RNG which is the basis of COH2, flukes on the system (plane crashes, constant improbable rolls, abandoned vehicles, etc) and predictable rolls (see sniping retreating squads, ISU wiping squads, indirect fire landing middle of a full health squad and wiping it, last shot of a pak missing or deflecting, etc)

1- If a unit (Centaur/Flamer) evaporates squads on 1 or 1,5s theres no RNG there as the results are practically the same. Surviving for more than 4s would be RNG.

2- When you get a scatter shot from a pak, hit across the map your Katyusha/PW that's fucking doing it's job. 2 snipers killed by 2 consecutive AT gun shots? 5 deflections on a 20% roll? You get the deal. I consider this to happen 1/100

2- If i try to snipe the last model of a retreating squad without using abilities, well that's a 50/50 call, a flip coin, this is RNG. The normal one.
Using a Stuka dive bomb on a Katyusha and it been abandoned or getting a crit, while a lower chance, still enters this category.

+1

Pretty much nailed it. A lot of occurrences that get called RNG are just predictable rolls. There are very few times where RNG truly cost me a game (1 in 100 seems about right).

I sure do get salty when a mortar round wipes out a full health squad though.

I find the only time I float as OKW is when I go mech truck first. When you do that you pretty much have no choice but to build a ton of volks or pick a commander with call-in infantry to compensate for the fact that you have no LEIG or forward retreat point to act as a force multiplier.

It might be interesting if instead of converting fuel -> muni or visa versa the mech truck converted MP to fuel or muni at a reasonable ratio. In effect this would simulate building a cache. The difference would be that while a cache requires immediate investment for eventual net gain in resources OKW mp conversion would be a constant conversion that never produces a overall net gain in resources but also could be toggled as needed.

Pretty disappointing that warspoils won't be fixed. At the very least relic could clean up some of the warspoils that no longer function or that are entirely useless (looking at you Jagdtiger call-in cooldown reduction).
