"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: COH3 is going to be a massive flop13 Jan 2023, 05:59 AM I like it as it is for the most part. Fuck esports gamers and their incessant whining to balance the fun out of every game they want to make money off competitions for. Axis and allies have a million sidegrades and techs and it feels like the wild west and I'm having fun playing the game again trying to find what works and what doesn't. I would easily buy this game at release if they keep polishing and improving it. And no, this isn't pre order cope. I don't pre order, I think it's bullshit. I like CoH3, and if you don't, then go ahead and keep playing CoH2 just like the salty, crusty CoH1 vets did for the original. That's your preorgative. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Auto reinforce 13 Jan 2023, 03:07 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2023, 15:10 PMHannibal It's a good feature. 90% of the time you'd reinforce your squads anyway, the times when you need to save the MP to build your tank a bit earlier do exist, but are rather rare. It reduces stupid and mindless clicking. There is nothing tactical or strategic about spamming the reinforce button. Instead, it frees time for actual micro management and unit positioning.

Thread: Stats for usf mortar11 Jan 2023, 05:07 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2023, 21:13 PMProtos Angelus Exactly this. Even in the nerfed state, it's better to go for a pak howi. The M1 mortar is solely for those teamgame maps where the MG42 rush is OP. Which is most of them. In 1v1, USF does not need a mortar to counter the MG42 as you are solo playing across the whole map. You ain't trying to assault the beach on Rhine where one MG42 can cover both the VP and the fuel point from a perfect green cover position. You either need pathfinders to see the position and flank appropriately, or you go for a mortar. Purely by stats, M1 mortar is not that much worse than the OST mortar. A bit lower AOE and 5 less range. Nothing extreme. But OST mortar is in a defensive faction with long range stock infantry. 42 vision pio. And a mega-arc MG42. Everything you can hope for, to dig in. Not even to mention that apparently a 10 MP discount is sufficient enough to warrant having no special ability. You know what would be kind of cute? What about sprint, like a timed ability that cancels when in combat? And maybe a reduction in setup time (not teardown, so it can't easily run away from units). I wonder if sprint would even be possible on a mortar. Maybe take an extra 5 range from the mortar in return. A very maneuverable but short ranged mortar seems more thematic. Maybe in an alternate timeline. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Stats for usf mortar10 Jan 2023, 17:48 PM I mean Vipper is right that the USF mortar is comparable to the others.. On the other hand it quickly loses its place to paks and scotts. Whenever I am forced to get a USF mortar, I never feel like: "this is a worthwhile investment". It's more like: "fucking axis building straight MGs, now I have to build this crap and take up my popcap instead of waiting for something useful". In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Smoke10 Jan 2023, 17:43 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2023, 11:09 AMHannibal Increasing LOS for units does not make intuitive sense. Delaying the information by a few seconds would make sense, but is maybe not obvious for all players. I think it would make some sense. Give it a lighter grey than the FOW, but still not full color like revealed FOW. But if I'm understanding you correctly, it would be like some kind of "delay", as in the units you see are where they were a few seconds ago or something? That would be cute, like the airplane pilot is relaying what they saw in the air to the units on the ground. Would be a bit of a mindfuck and I would imagine it would require some extra calculations or something but possible to do I would assume. In: Lobby
Thread: poll: call in vehicles as a design choice9 Jan 2023, 22:07 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2023, 19:29 PMBasedSecretary Eh, really? Removing the fuel penalty just gives the callins a "sit tight and hold" doctrine, meaning the already cancerous turtling problem will get worse since the player would have no need to continually push into fuel/muni since he can just hold and wait for big boom vehicle. Idk just my 0.02$ on why I am "against" callins in general as portrayed here. There's a difference between "free" (old Tiger Ace) and not costing fuel. Also, high manpower costs for callins is a much bigger tradeoff than you think. LeFH and ML-20 used to cost so much manpower that they were rarely built, so they had their manpower cost lowered and given a fuel cost to compensate. As long as the battlegroup call ins don't enable "save up all my fuel for a non doctrinal super/heavy tank I get in my tier 4 building" gameplay (seemingly not applicable for DAK because they are SUPPOSEDLY the light vehicle focused faction). Then I think it would allow more aggressive vehicle gameplay while making the player less able to field a large infantry force that can support itself. Which means that their reliance on vehicles is a weakness that can be exploited. Maybe I'm wrong though. In: COH3 Central
