Re: 5.1.5 beta v6

i support the removal of flank speed from the hetzer for the reasons markr and warhawks explained. I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but i don't see the logic given by tiger, relative adjustments between the tiger and hetzer don't make sense to me as they both serve different roles, one is a dedica...

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

Smoke + flames + loaded car combo... will be pretty fuckin brutal true. How to successfully kill 88 emplacements with just some basic units. But that combo at least costs 800mp and 75 mu. Unless you get a wasp... maybe the wasp should be a reward unit with the Bren carrier instead of the dingo? I ha...

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

Lol basically the idea is to make so if they touch a building the occupants die and making grenades obsolete. I think that wouldn’t be too ridiculous for some players because that’s the case in other games: coh2, wikingr, spearhead, sd44. People see the purpose and accept it. But it’s not like that ...

Re: Beta 5.1.5 v5

I don’t have balance suggestions mostly because I’d like to see what happens post other things said. But I wasn’t trying to point out imbalances as I am trying to prepare for the probably high amount of backlash. Brits are iconically the most formulaic faction. I can only think of one Brit player wh...

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

Sorry for the frustration. We are trying to think it through though, which is better than most balance topics, no? Was anyone against the idea of buffing their anti-emplacement/building capability? Also maybe combined with a range buff? This turns them into high skill-high reward units. Maybe we try...

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

Personally, i agree. More than that, I think all inf's durability should be the same. BUT, in the case of BK where units are obviously tiered and each of the units sort of represent their power/veterancy/training through stats and such engineers seem like they were meant to depict non-combat units w...

Re: Beta 5.1.5 v5

I played a lot more games in the beta, 1v1's with walder on 4v4 maps cuz we are masochists. The new AT squad is really going to shake the meta.... brits are going to have a really tough time adapting for a while.

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

I'm with warhawks in I don't think durability buffs is the way to go, not because it wouldn't be balanced but i feel like it'd wouldn't be intuitive and would break the feeling of the game. When people ask "why do engineers get defensive buffs when getting a flamethrower?". The response &q...

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

Sad but true.... Maybe at least bump its modifier against buildings? I feel like people's first instinct is to use it for clearing emplacement/buildings/bunkers. It would give it a definitive purpose as a high skill requirement but reliable utility while a grenade is more like a cheaper but safer ga...

Re: flmaethrower like a hot water!!

In pvp currently, I dont think the flamethrowers are used that often purely because of how squishy engineers are but that's not me suggesting to make them more durable. I'm just saying practically they don't even make it to their target. Sometimes they end up killing themselces with their own flames...

Re: USA early game against PE

When you say "in fact" it doesn't make it absolute and only. Yes, in the past high resource was mainly for those who wanted to skip phases of the game. But, "in fact" the game is barely accelerated from a pvp perspective as also mentioned in my long post above. Sure some players...

But Markr can you REALLY blame them when the option is available and it’s literally labeled standard? Even more so when you get annoying formula players who get themselves off winning some gimmicky early game meta exploit and then parade around calling themselves “pro” and prostletizing standard re...

Similarly, CoH has 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 game types... 1v1 is not recommended for BK Mod, but you can't remove it.. and you shouldn't. Players are up to choose playing 1v1 or not, and mostly btw; 1v1 is an option only sometimes when not enough players are online. There are only THREE 1v1 maps with ...

Re: 2v2 on Discord

I agree with warhawks, the skill differential to have a game using only arty vs not being able to use arty at all was too great. If you take a player who didn't use tanks, they can still be highly effective. If you take a player who didn't use arty, the skill gap needed to be just as effective and i...

4) Most of the games are standard resc, not high resc. We keep saying to players for as long as I can remember that BK should be played with High Resources setup (also on big maps). The fact that players ignore the recommended settings is not really problem of the mod. It is like buying a Ferrari, ...

Re: USA early game against PE

I understand that PE vehicles in the early game add variety to openings, which I'm all for. But I see where elpiojo is coming from, it is too punishing to lose to a vehicle opening based on RNG. If an AT gun misses, it's pretty much a guaranteed dominance for the PE early game. It doesn't make for a...
