Thread: Ost vs Soviet core redesign discussion 22 Jun 2014, 23:27 PM Hey guys I just wanted to create a thread for some healthy discussions on ways to change the Ost vs Soviet factions to better represent actual small unit action battles of the eastern front. We do have to keep the discussions within the confines of the coh2 world so let's try to suggest changes that could easily be made by the developer without coding a whole new game. Also long novels of text with arguments on tactics and doctrine are welcome if they are formatted in a reader friendly manner. The end goal of this discussion would be to create an authentic atmosphere for the players to be immersed while playing either faction in the coh2 world. Small children may want to skip this thread as it will require a lot of research and experience in ww2 history.. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Random Commander Selection Option.22 Jun 2014, 22:59 PM You guys are gonna have a hard time convincing the players who desperately cling to their p2w commanders to do this unfortunately. All they care about is their one or two overpowered doctrines that help them win. I agree some randomizing would be a healthy option for coh2. A true random 2v2 to 4v4 match maker would be nice instead of team stackers seal clubbing the current systems new players. Random doctrine option would also be cool as it gets real boring playing against the same p2w doctrines all he time. There are a lot of cool doctrines people just do not use simply because p2w gives such an advantage. It is really a shame relic went down this path as it really hurt the franchise in the long term. I miss the days when people would play to experience and try new things. Now it's all about climbing a ladder that in the end really means nothing. Especially when you need p2w to stay up on he ladder. A random doctrine could work, just have his mode use no bulletins. Would create some new and healthy balance discussions too. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.20 Jun 2014, 11:46 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jun 2014, 09:00 AM__deleted__ I am realy disappointed because tbh this guy knows how to write, but unfortunatelly doesn't know shit about what he's writing. I believe in the right of anyone to write or post, but ffs, they should wait to play a little more before writing an entire wall of nonsense. It's just common sense. I have around 7000 matches as wehr in coh1. I actually have many matches as ost, just not ranked. I refused to play the ost in ranked because the previous patch was garbage and gave every advantage to the ost. I had focused on the soviets as they were the underdogs, harder to use and required insane micro. I did not want to exploit and abuse a faction that had every advantage and was broken (ost). In other words I did not want to get used to having free wins. However as much as I am very eager to begin my ladder climb with the ost I still hesitate as most matches result in elephant and isu 152 doctrines which are also broken at the moment. I might also add that when the new factions come all balance will be broken again. So that is why I do not play ranked ost at the moment. I have been through every patch and faction release from coh1 and I know everything game play will be a disaster as soon as the expansion is released. 4 patches after the new release and the game should be in working order.

Thread: Panzergranadiers!!! Does it worth ? 20 Jun 2014, 11:11 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jun 2014, 16:17 PMJaigen Dude CC weapons the mp44 included are currently the weakest weapons in the game. Even if the PG cost was reduced all the way to 240 mp i would still spam grens with lmg's over PG's as i consider rifles carbines and lmg's to be better all round weapons then the very niche cc weapons. That's because grenadiers over perform. Also grenadiers have a rifle grenade which makes it so the ost does not even have to risk flanking. Hence why most people to choose to use grenadiers. However, just because grenadiers have an ability they should not have outside of a doctrine does not mean panzer grenadiers under perform. It is kinda like choosing to get a tiger instead of a panther. The tiger clearly over performs but it does not mean the panther sucks or that the panther should be way cheaper. The issue is the tiger is too good for it's cost at the moment. When I play ost sure I could spam grenadiers.... however I like to build 1 or 2 panzer grenadiers into my build. I use them for flanking to gain vet. If I run into tank issues I quickly upgrade them to anti tank grenadiers and bust tanks. It's the flexibility that attracts me to use panzer grenadiers. That and I tend not to abuse grenadier spam as one day relic could balance them correctly and I will have an easy transition into the new meta. They are very good at their role. I often get high returns for their investment. It does sting when they get squad wiped so you have to use them wisely. A combination of mortor smoke and pg bundle nade do wonders. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Who need mortars when you got grenades like that....19 Jun 2014, 12:38 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2014, 17:09 PMBulgakov Conscripts can also throw molotovs when suppressed. The rifle grenade can be punishing I agree. But the Maxim has a lot of strong points so it needs weaknesses too. Another member pointed out that rifle nades are expensive, much more expensive than molotovs and don't guarantee that the MG has to pack up and run as the molotov does. Next time you play as Germans, try to beat Maxims without using the grenade. Or without using it when suppressed. Maxim has a lot of weakness. 1. Mortor 2. Sniper 3. Scout car 4. Flame pio with mortar smoke. 5. Flanking panzer grenadiers with bundle nade. It s not one rifle nade that is op, it is the rifle nade killing 3 models and the next gunner getting killed every time they try to grab the gun. Also people comparing Molotov to rifle nade is a joke. You can fire a nade from extreme distances and over house, hedges with zero risk. Swap rifle nade for molotov any day. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergranadiers!!! Does it worth ? 14 Jun 2014, 23:25 PM Players just refuse to actually take a moment to stop and think about what panzer grenadiers are. They are grenadiers with a different weapon load out. They are just as survivable as g43 Grens and nobody is crying to give g43 Grens armor. You use panzer grenadiers to flank. Think of them as special forces. Lots of firepower and just as kill able as grenadiers. You pay the extra initial mp cost for assault rifles and the bundle nade ability. The reinforce cost is to prevent spamming. You also get the ability to upgrade to most powerfull at infantry in the game. There are doctrines that make panzer grenadiers more economical and powerful. If you cannot make panzer grenadiers viable you need to learn how to use a basic flank. You can easily wipe an at crew or infantry sqaud if used correctly. Which in my mind is a good return for maybe losing a couple models before retreat. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Minor german issues. 12 Jun 2014, 02:23 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2014, 21:52 PMBravus Call in beat t4. Go t4 is a waste of resources 90% of the time.. Soviets feel your pain as well. Their t4 is pretty useless too. Of course relic could not sell as many commanders with uber call in tanks if the core tier 4 tanks are balanced against them. This may be a struggle between marketing and game balance. Who knows..... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet AT too map and commander call in dependant12 Jun 2014, 01:41 AM We'll there could be a couple of options for additional soviet at. 1. Find a way to balance the t70 or other new armor units into the game for the soviets. The goal of this would be too force the german meta to consistently add pak 40 or pg shreks to the german build orders. So now you ask how does this effect soviet at? It does in many ways. 1. A pak 40 can be decrewed and stolen. Make shreks drop a little more so they can be picked by the soviets. I don't think the soviets would cry so hard about the the uber pak if they could actually get their hands on one consistently. Although I think you would soon see some german cries to nerf it rather quickly. 2. Find a way to get the t70 back into the game early enough and increase the rear penetration it does to tanks. The t70 could work with the zis to take down mediums. If the t70 is a threat to the german rear armor you would see mediums turning to face the t70 and exposing their rears to the zis. 3. Implement commanders with some early call in armor. Balanced accordingly of course and then go to my first point.. 4. Give guards an option to further upgrade their ptrs after tier 3 or 4 is built to something along the line of shreks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Teching and call ins. 11 Jun 2014, 22:45 PM I often use the kv1. It is not a super heavy call in. It is best used after you go tier 4 su85 . Use the kv1 to soak damage get line of sight on enemy armor. Use the su85 just behind the kv1. You also have the b4 to make up for the lack of damage output as well. The only thing I hate about the kv1 is the super long repair times. You need about 4 engie squads to get it back online in decent time. In: COH2 Balance
