The thing that makes this even worse was before, even in VCoH, the flammenwerfer/flamer car wasn't particularly prevalent.

Now vehicles can clear mines too....

The soviet ones are still decent but the German ones cost way.... too much to risk losing like this.

I will literally lol if I see Sov sweepers in particular. Not only is it a waste of munis vs flamer, but I wont have placed any Ost mines anyway! Double lol!


Inb4 new cheese strat

Engineers -> Sweepers

(With one exception. I may need a Teller in base to prevent KV8 rushes since Ost can no longer reliably Faust its engine. Good thing the KV8 cant pave its way with flames against mines... Oh, wait!)


Oh god... I can imagine a hilarious picture - KV-8 fires flames at retreating grens, setting off the teller, killing the grens ^^

Haven't had a chance to watch the stream yet. That's awesome! Are the new maps already in the game, or are they "coming soon"?

I've seen a Soviet engi with mine clearance kit! I thought it was a dodo at first!

I build one once. Then cursed myself that I didn't went flamer a minute later.

@Noun: Can you please consider separating arranged teams from random teams in matchmaking? It's simply boring to play vs. people that are sitting in teamspeak when you are with a random teammate.

I think it would take too long to find games, but for what its worth I'd prefer that. I generally uncheck 2v2s unless I have a steam friend.... 3v3s and 4v4s there's generally never more than 2 players in TS or whatever.

So from these patch notes we conclude that two buildings/units/abilities are completely useless.

Not the Ost sniper
Not the T-34
Not the Brummbar

But Soviet minesweepers and S-fields.

Don't think the t34-85 got a damage buff, but the ram changes will affect it.

Good point Vinyl.

T34/85 cost efficiency overlooked and worde than before.

I can only hope this is because Doctrine balance is the core of a future patch.

...

Very glad about the 222 buff, will make upgrading it actually worth the investment.

...


Before anyone gets too excited about the 222 buff, it seems the increased damage of AT nades are causing them to go down faster than before. Last night, on two separate occasions, I managed to take a scout car down to a sliver of health with one AT nade and finish it off very quickly with small arms fire. Previously, the scout car would be able to get away or inflict enough damage on a single Conscript squad to force them to retreat before they could finish it off.

Possibly, but I don't think it would be much. I'd take waiting a couple of minutes over wasting 30 minutes of my time anyday. This also goes both ways. Rolling over a RT with my friend isn't exactly entertaining.

Seems to me to be about the same as before the patch.

New patch = can't watch old replays. The game now filters replays from older patches which is actually good, because in the old days you would forget they were from an older patch and watch them and get a sync error.

Replays from previous patches will not work with new patches.

T-34/85 is piece of junk since alpha, and BTW, soviet T3 still less useful than a T4 for the inevitable PZIV spam

@Noun: Can you please consider separating arranged teams from random teams in matchmaking? It's simply boring to play vs. people that are sitting in teamspeak when you are with a random teammate.


NEVER! This thing killed 3v3 and 4v4 team games in vCOH cuz it was impossible to find any team to play against. So if wanted to play 3v3 or 4v4 game with your friends, you have to go for custom game and then wait and pray till or ever any other random 3 or 4 people will fight. This killed vCOH for me and my friends cuz it took many many minutes to play a game (and after lets say 20 minutes of waiting they got owned and quit in 10 minutes).

Consider how long does it take to find enemy even in 2v2 right now. Separating team and nonteam games in COH2 (game with very low active players) will lead to fast end of teamgames in general.
Lets compare it with SC2, theres no arranged vs non arranged ladders and the game is still fun to play everytime with almost no waiting time between matches. Why is it so?

in my opinion there should be 2v2 at and 2v2 random as 2 different game modes, maby u could choose what you wanna play when u with team mate vs teams for some challenge or vs random for some luls. at the moment when its mixed its not fun and in general skill level in team games is way lower couse of that, playing vs noobs all the time makes you play way worse then vs teams. atleast 2v2 needs to be separated, 3v3 and 4v4 can stay mixed
