Thread: [Ost/Sov] [All modes] [ISU/Elefant docs OHKO Fixed Arty]21 Oct 2015, 19:28 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2015, 19:14 PMdaspoulos I mean if they didnt counter artillery pieces then they would be overpriced. Coh2 ignores a lot of common sense, but I think heavy payload strikes such as these SHOULD destroy these in one strike. Exactly. I'm not advocating a change to the heavy strikes at all. They can and should OHKO fixed arty. What I object to is doctrine combinations which include ISU/Ele AND strikes (and recon too, in Ostheer's case iirc) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Ost/Sov] [All modes] [ISU/Elefant docs OHKO Fixed Arty]21 Oct 2015, 19:26 PM in a way, making them relocate is what is needed. Relocate them, and/or the inevitable wall of paks etc. Make the beast move, and its much more vulnerable to flanking. Which is why the option ought to be there IMO In: COH2 Balance

Thread: [Ost/Sov] [All modes] [ISU/Elefant docs OHKO Fixed Arty]21 Oct 2015, 18:13 PM Hi all, So, here goes: Problem: The ISU and Elefant doctrines both possess their factions' heavy bomb strikes (IL2 Bomb strike/Stuka Dive Bomb), which completely hard-counter artillery. By my rhinking this is unfair, as poor mobility and the need to stay stationary is reqquired of both ISU and Elefant, making the fixed artillery piece a natural counter, but the heavy bomb strikes completely negate this. Particularly egregious when combined with spotter planes. Suggestion: Remove either recon or bomb strike abilities from elefant/ISU doctrines. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Royal Engineering upgrade21 Oct 2015, 13:08 PM I kinda agree it needs a cost. They gain better armor than shocks and a free lmg in exchange for lower speed. Its effectively an lmg squad with better armor than shocks, and at vet 3, ludicrously low reinforce costs. You can add in 2 more lmgs too. And it can lay mines, detect mines and double speed-repair vehicles too. (I'd add build emplacements, but poor emplacements have been dead a long while cause of flame dmg bug) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 16 Oct 2015, 10:44 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2015, 10:15 AMEsxile Still cost a lot more to deploy. And I'm pretty sure they're not going to stay a 28mp at the patch release. Gren is still a very effective squad for its price, but not anymore over the top. Cost 40 more mp to deploy. So, 16% more. (based on 240mp gren cost) But their superiority in combat performance is much greater than 16%. Plus, as it stands, they will cost 28mp to reinforce. That 40mp extra will pretty much be recovered in terms of mp saving on casualties over the course of the game. You are correct about it being a potential change ofcourse, but until the upcoming patch notes for the preview change, I'll judge their soon -to-be performance as costing 28mp. The patch is for October, only 14 more days at most In: COH2 Balance
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 16 Oct 2015, 08:34 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2015, 19:10 PMEsxile You have better early and better mid game vs UKF, dunno what do you want more? with IS reinforce set to be at 28mp (cheaper than grens btw) that argument isn't valid either.

Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 16 Oct 2015, 08:32 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2015, 16:31 PMdaspoulos Why do you think the 5 men upgrade comes at t4? SO it doesn't change anything but the late game. Fixing gren scaling, and fragility. All it does is add another dude with a kar98 so dps hardly goes up. Just more squad health. Grens still have the the most inferior vet and received accuracy of all the baseline infantry, but do fine early-mid game. Thats why I suggested gren squads and pgren squads get their cost up to 260-280 and 360-380 respectively if new squads need to be bought after the upgrade. Mate , I do SUPPORT your idea. I do have my doubts though, which is why I made that post. So I could clarify exactly what I have doubts over and wiser minds may come up with a solution In: COH2 Balance
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 15 Oct 2015, 16:19 PM To be fair, I'm not 100% sure its needed per se, but the trouble is thus: I have thought about it and I've come up with 4 separate facets to this problem: against cons, grens are balanced late-game (as in vet3 squad vs vet3) and obey the early game dynamic against late game rifles, late game grens are not effective for cost. against late game IS, grens are laughably bad, especially in light of the upcoming IS reinforce changes against AoE weapons, grens 4 man composition hurts them, badly adding in the 5th man sort of solves the last 3, but wrecks the first In: COH2 Balance
