Thread: Does suppression need a buff10 Nov 2015, 21:11 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2015, 20:43 PMGluhoman Just increase suppression when there are more then 3 squads in a blob, make it like an aura. Also, there was a solution about hmg gunner death in kappa patch. Suppression already does increase when facing blobs. Which makes the hmg suppress and pin faster. But it doesn't make the suppression effect stronger. Which is what I'm talking about. In: COH2 Gameplay

Yes hmgs do more dmg per squad/entity (not sure which). I'm not advocating for any change in that regard. What I want is for suppressed squads to do less dmg. Less than they do now I mean.

Thread: Does suppression need a buff10 Nov 2015, 21:04 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2015, 20:57 PMEtherealDragon I don't think buffing suppression is the answer as I fear it would place too much early game emphasis on MG42s and/or Maxim spam. I agree I am concerned with that, which is why I put this up here, so every one can contribute (ty btw). If I had a complete solution I'd have posted it. I know it will make hmg more powerful but my reasoning is thus: in early game finishing off an hmg by a frontal Yolo rush while suppressed isn't really happening anyway barring exceptional circumstances e.g. low health om hmg etc. So it shouldn't have a big impact in that regard.

Thread: Does suppression need a buff10 Nov 2015, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2015, 20:40 PMVuther Perhaps the problem is LMGs Perhaps, but removing them isn't really an option at this point. Two factions (ostheer, ukf) are modeled on infantry being better at long range and the lmgs are a critical component of that. A third (okw) has close links to lmgs cause of obers. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does suppression need a buff10 Nov 2015, 20:03 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2015, 19:54 PMContrivance Right now suppression is already pretty harsh. Accuracy drops to 25%, cooldown and reload times increase by 400%. If it gets any worse, suppressed units will be completely helpless, as if they were pinned outright. The main intended debuff of suppression is being forced to the ground, unable to maneuver beyond a slow crawl. Idk if thats true anymore. See infantry dmg output was given a flat 15% increase across the board. And hmg crew get 25% incoming dmg from small arms. Problem is when you build a new mg in late game, its practically pointless until you can recrew it, and even then you have to pray to rng gods that it survives to vet. Nowadays, 4 out of 5 factions have lmg heavy infantry options as their go-to choice. Suppressed units aren't helpless, they can still nade, crawl and cap. Basically i'm suggesting this because late-game, suppression isn't punishing enough. And I don't want an increase to the speed of suppression. Just make it more powerful. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does suppression need a buff10 Nov 2015, 19:28 PM Hi all, So, we all know the propensity of late game, upgraded infantry to shred hmg squads in their way, even if suppressed. Or at least kill the gunner so quickly that they can wipe the remaining member(s) before getting pinned, while suppressed. So I thought: why not increase the debuff applied by suppression i.e. reduce dmg output even more. To clarify: I'm not asking for quicker suppression or pinning. But for suppression to be a bigger debuff to dmg output. As the game has updated since release, infantry lethality has increased and hmgs have seen an incoming dmg increase. Which are not bad changes imo. Just saying that the suppression debuff needs to be realigned with the increased dmg output of infantry. I believe this is critical because, 1) As the match progresses, hmg teams become faster at suppressing, but suppression itself remains as is even though infantry lethality and long range dmg output tends to increase. (so vetted infantry is in a better position relative to vetted hmgs; as compared to vanilla infantry position relative to vanilla hmg. 2) Position of vet, upgraded infantry is immensely superior to a fresh hmg, such as the one you build and/or recrew after the last one got stolen/killed respectively. Better vet shouldn't change the role of infantry vis a vis hmgs. It'd be a bit like saying, (exaggerated example) ok sniper is vet now, so all snipers should get ap rounds to deal with those pesky scout cars at vet3. Please vote. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Contending with USF infantry as Ostheer10 Nov 2015, 19:10 PM Here's an idea: how about increasing the debuff that suppression applies even more. Make suppressed infantry only good for crawling, capping and nading by reducing their dmg output even more. Cause right now, suppression isn't enough in the late game with vet3 lmg blobs running around. And I suggest this change as a global change. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Official Obersoldaten OP Thread10 Nov 2015, 19:05 PM Wow for a second I was wondering how the heck an Ober op thread can have 289 posts and so many views in this day and age. Then I saw the dates. Plz don't post in threads older than the most recent patch. Makes shot confusing In: COH2 Balance
