"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.”

Thread: OKW faust and mg coming too late?16 Sep 2021, 18:26 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2021, 17:32 PMOperator09 No, I'll post you a game were good mine placing and bad RNG can win a game without even skill on that clown car. 1-2 volks don't scare clown car it's a stupid power spike on OKW and SOV 1v1. two good mine placing play overcame by Clowncar due to HP buff. https://youtu.be/aFSE3gVuC68 https://youtu.be/9KkeV2tu6Bk What small arms? I'll upload another how a fucking penal can melt light armors without worrying that this AT infantry won't miss a single shot. PUMA 1 shot is a meme. Nobody uses it now, kubel armor is better than PUMA Look at the PENALs? Anyone can do that it doesn't take skill to perform that play? https://youtu.be/QxsUp8CRXmI You know why he did that? Because he knows Penals will not miss a single shot and kill my unit and I will do the same. I was baiting him but I didn't expect that penal will not get wiped WTF is that RNG? What if it's zooka USF or AT OKW will you do it? No because you will be wiped without an assurance of killing it. Playing Clown car on large maps there's no penalty of playing careless just dive and dive if there are any light armor just build penals. Not to mention these Penals melts an established MG too.

Thread: Why is the Pak 43 allowed to shoot through obstacles? 16 Sep 2021, 15:15 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Sep 2021, 12:46 PMProtos Angelus On some maps, Pak43 is downright OP (angermunde, hill400...) if you don't have the doctrinal tools to take it down. On angremunde, buildings block almost all non vertical indirects, even when destroyed and on Hill400 it can shoot through multiple layers of ground/obstacles/tree-lines. On other, wider and more open maps, it's completely useless. Mostly it's a problem of lacking stock units that can take it out. For the 17pdr, OKW has the flame stuka which will kill it even when braced I think (tightrope showed it if I'm not mistaken), and OST has the werfer which will either kill it or severely damage it if the brace is activated before the volley (let's be honest, nobody is going to activate brace for werfer, you'll be busy moving your units). One also has to take into consideration the following: 17pdr is a building, and as such has a large area that when damaged, will destroy the building and the gun. Pak43 is a big ass gun that can be decrewed. So shooting at a pak43 with... let's say pak howi barrage, you may or may not decrew it, depending on the scatter luck. Shooting at a 17pdr with a ISG: Every barraging shell will damage it and once it's gone, the whole gun is gone. I think this is one aspect to take into consideration. For pak43 you need pinpoint accuracy, but no brace and can be decrewed, for 17pdr you don't need any of that, but brace is there to help out (which means engies will be on repair duty). I'd make both 17pdr and pak43 pretty much identical in survivabiltiy/firepower and remove the wallhack completely. For uniqueness, you can add abilities or w/e to those guns. Pak43 could have piercing shot, 17pdr could have HE shot or whatever. I see nothing to disagree with here. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Actually I m missing...you Relic!16 Sep 2021, 14:55 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2021, 20:24 PMLeodot yeah and cold tech. I didn't play the game before it was removed, but the main menu animation was amazing, the one where the camera rises from the bottom of a frozen pond to view a battle for a town with a KV1 struggling not to sink into the ice. Absolutely chilling (no pun intended). EDIT: In: Scrap Yard

Thread: Anyone know how to disable Tiger Ace vet on recrew?16 Sep 2021, 13:44 PM Good morning, Over the past day or so I came to the conclusion that I wanted to update a 2014 tuning pack for CoH2 that was supposed to increase all abandons to 80%. Im the process of changing the stats for OST I noticed that the Tiger Ace was missing an abandoned critical, so I added it and changed the weights accordingly. I tested it out in game and, lo and behold, it works just fine. Eeexcept that whichever unit recrews the tank is given the vet required to get to vet 1 of the Tiger Ace. Now this is not exactly what I wanted for most factions (I don't want units recrewing the Ace to get vet of course), it's especially heinous for USF, which can use the Tiger Ace like a veterancy factory; crewing the vehicle--getting Tiger 1 vet in the process, easily enough to get any unit to vet 3--and then decrewing it soon after. Now I'm not much of a modder, so I'm asking for the help of you experienced gentlemen for aid. I know that the solution to this would probably be similar to how abandoned OKW vehicles recrewed by other factions don't have 5 levels of vet, but I just don't know how to do that off the top of my head and instead of struggling through the Attribute Editor it would be nice for someone to simply point me in the right direction. Thank you! EDIT: That or just tell me how to disable disembark crew for USF when they recrew the ace. I could live with that. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.16 Sep 2021, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2021, 12:02 PMPip Random abandons/MGC should not be in automatch. Feel free to have them in custom games, but matchmaking (Which matches based on performance) has absolutely 0 reason to have this. I understand you feel this way about high level ladder matches but I assure you none of the plebians like me and the other 80% of the playerbase despise it nearly as much. Competitive vs casual automatch. Think it would be a good fit. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.16 Sep 2021, 11:54 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2021, 08:02 AMSpanky You don't want a this much RNG in a ranked game. I find its fine when you have it as an option for skirmish games for more fun. I'm actually perfectly fine with the way it is in gameplay. Tournament players disable random main gun crits with tuning packs for RNG reasons. Don't see why abandons can't just stay the same way. Also could just just have a "competitive" ruleset and a "casual" ruleset, with different queues. It's not splitting they playerbase because most of the casual play happens in 4v4, and nobody playing 4s really wants to get matched up with a sweaty tournament arranged team anyways.

Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.15 Sep 2021, 20:47 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Sep 2021, 19:59 PMmr.matrix300 Make it trigger under certain circumstances but then make it trigger 100% of the time... Actually, after thinking about this a little bit longer, I don't like this idea so much. The abandon mechanic is fun to me because it happens out of nowhere and it's not predictable. When it happens it's like everyone collectively is working to stop it/ repair because they weren't prepared for it. I've had the most fun when I've got to drop an offensive just to try to coordinate with my teammates to set up security while we repair the tank. I have maybe some other ideas about it to make it more of a minigame or something that is less punishing for dives. 1.) One faction should not be better at recovering abandoned vehicles any more than the other (USF crit repair lol) for fairness reasons. 2.) Troops cannot get inside until it's fully repaired and there can only be so many engineers working on the tank at one time. The idea being that there's a consistent time for repairing the tank and if someone dives into enemy territory they aren't f*cked just because there are a shitton of engineers there. Also it can lead to battles around the tank to retake it and the enemy can't just hop inside to deny the enemy a chance to retake. EDIT: Also, it would mean that you now have options to halt the repairs or slow them down, as you could shoot the tank to get the health down with AT guns or another tank and force the enemy to attack or else not be able to recover the tank. EDIT2: Though maybe this would be kind of a snowball with the more numerically superior team being able to force the weaker team off the team and lead to snowballing. But then again it would make it a risk/reward choice, either you risk putting time into repairing the tank (possibly putting yourself into a bad situation if they can push you off it and take over the repairs) and be rewarded with a cheap tank OR you take the safe option and finish off the tank. I think it could make abandons more of an interesting mechanic and less of a bullshit RNG roll that fucks someone over for bad luck. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.15 Sep 2021, 20:06 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Sep 2021, 19:59 PMmr.matrix300 I still think that it should be added to multiplayer. Simply not in the same way it is in CoH2. Make it trigger under certain circumstances but then make it trigger 100% of the time and also give the captured tank slightly worse stats and maybe also make it cost like 10 or 20 fuel (+ammo?) to "refuel" the tank I think the consistency idea is good, as well as the "refuel" idea (for some reason I thought I remembered this being a thing in CoH1, even though there were no vehicle abandons then. Must be going crazy.) I disagree with the having lower stats part, but I like the spirit. I think it would make sense for the crew to have trouble in the vehicle, because they're not familiar with it. What about if it started out with "negative" veterancy? Like the crew has to get familiar with the vehicle first so maybe it has a slower reload and worse accuracy until it's gotten a tank kill or two under its belt? In: COH3 Central
