"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Thread: important balance stuff for coh3 up front21 Sep 2021, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2021, 12:31 PMTickTack That's a 1v1 scenario. In other game modes, sovs that go penal find their one AT unit facing early p4's with no AT gun support In 4v4s it's different but what I said still applies. Again,there's nothing stopping you from building T2 to get an AT gun at any time besides bleed. In 4v4s though it's a bit different because you can get away with silly things like relying on your teammate for AT while you stall for a t34 or t34/85. In: COH3 Central
Thread: important balance stuff for coh3 up front21 Sep 2021, 03:25 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2021, 07:13 AMTickTack One of the worst examples of asymmetrical balance is soviets with their AT gun. If you go T1 you lock yourself out of getting the AT gun, unless ofc you have the room in-game to go that route (in which case you're already winning, and it's a case of 'win-more'). Definitely agree with the ideas above that 'Assymetrical balance should NOT be denying one or two factions something'. I disagree. I think it's an example of a good asymmetrical balance. If you go T1 you aren't denied AT guns. You're basically gambling that you can beat out the enemy with superior firepower and inferior numbers. You give up a fast. AT gun and in return you get AT infantry that can hold their own against LVs. And then from there you supplement those troops with tanks that pick up the slack in AT and AI. OR if you realize that you're not going to ne able to do that you still get the option to build T2 and get an AT gun. I think that soviet's choice between T1 and T2 start is GOOD asymmetrical balance. Things like how OKW originally had no nondoc MG or how USF has no nondoc rocket arty are the big offenders.

Rocket arty and insta-wipe tools aren't particularly fun and I only enjoy using them to counter stupid gameplay like blobbing and support weapon spam. In: COH3 Central
Thread: OKW teching clarity21 Sep 2021, 03:13 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2021, 09:48 AMVipper I was talking more about the display of upgrades and bonus which can be a bit confusing to navigate. For instance ostheer reinforcement bonus comes T4 and the user can not see unless he actually build the T4. If the icon was moved in T0 then it would be more player friendly. In similar manner the Soviet one is available in T3 and free in T4 if the icon was move to T0 it might become easier to see and explain. Maybe there could be a separate tab in HQ that has all the upgrade (non related to the building itself)/bonus. The only issue I see with this is that the UI could get crowded but afaik most T0 buildings have plenty of grid space for such info. In: Lobby
Thread: Cover and countering cover20 Sep 2021, 21:00 PM It's really silly to me how tank trap collision boxes are basically really thin sandbags that you build one on top of another. Is it a balance reason that they weren't given a more square hitbox? Perhaps so that it's harder to deny tanks from entering areas? Or was it just so that tank traps could function as sandbags lite?

Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.20 Sep 2021, 18:40 PM All it sounds like to me is that it punishes dives into enemy territory completely unsupported by any allied forces which is already a gamble in the first place. One smoke drop, one AT shot, one panzershrek or bazooka hit will destroy an abandoned tank. I fail to see how it's that hard to deal with if you're playing combined arms properly. Anyways I never wanted my argument to be to force crits onto 1v1 gamemodes. I think that if that's what they want then that's what they want. However, I think that it should totally be a thing in teamgames. Or like someone else said there should be a mechanic that replaces it. There's nothing more satisfying and morale-depleting than owning an enemy with their own tank. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.20 Sep 2021, 18:34 PM Everyone's talking on this thread like the mere possibility of vehicle abandons "destroys all aggressive gameplay!!11" and yet there are plenty of aggressive plays and despite teamgames being the most statistically likely place for abandons to happen, there are still aggressive plays that happen despite the less than 5% chance of an abandon happening upon a tank's death.

Thread: Updating a mod from .sga extraction?18 Sep 2021, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2021, 17:24 PMRagnarTheGamer I'm afraid that you will have to start from the beginning. As of now, there are no public tools that would convert .rgd files to .xml files. The only tool that is public, is the Dawn of War 3 one but that tool is meant for DoW and not CoH (Most hashes are not known and will not correctly build the xml structure for CoH). Thanks. I'm going to cry myself to sleep now. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Updating a mod from .sga extraction?18 Sep 2021, 12:14 PM Alright actually I'm even worse off than I thought because the Archive.exe file extracts all the different unit files as .rgd and not .xml like the actual mod builder uses. So basically I need help starting from the beginning. Please god help me I don't want to redo everything just to fix one problem. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Updating a mod from .sga extraction?18 Sep 2021, 00:29 AM I published a tuning pack, but I lost the files I used to make it. I looked up how to extract from an SGA file, but now I've no idea how to use these extracted files. Please help me out. I'm trying to fix some oversights with my tuning pack. In: Modding and Tools
