"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: Seems odd that JT can nuke heavy at with barrage8 Dec 2021, 14:41 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Dec 2021, 13:45 PMVipper ...I do have to point out that actually hit box of the 17p is not the same as the area with sandbag... Am I misunderstanding something here? I recall multiple debates about the differences between pak43 and 17pdr, and one fact that was always highlighted was that the 17pdr had a massive hurtbox compared to the pak43, as in the entire entity, sandbags and all, cause damage to the 17pdr. Unless that's changed recently I'm pretty sure this is still the case. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: If we are getting stricter with the guidelines 8 Dec 2021, 11:01 AM Actually, disregard because Kimbo did say some nasty shit to Sturmpanther, making threats and dumb shit. As far as the in-game ban is concerned, it's just an excuse for mods to get rid of someone they don't like. After that the dude was pissed and started threatening mods. Can't really defend that one.

Thread: If we are getting stricter with the guidelines 8 Dec 2021, 10:53 AM Ah. Just skipped to the end. Seems to me they're finally just saying they were looking for a passable reason to permaban Kimbo because they didn't like him. Typical mod behavior lmao. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: If we are getting stricter with the guidelines 8 Dec 2021, 10:36 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Dec 2021, 23:29 PMKatukov Curious, why did kimbo get banned (what did he do) https://www.coh2.org/topic/109745/am-i-crazy-or-is-relic-bunch-of-assholes He got banned for changing his name to isildur or one of the others and played with a cheese strat or something and whatever mods are on that game finally decided to enforce their rule against impersonation nobody's heard of because they don't enforce it. Plus he was playing with a suspected cheater but supposedly that's not the reason according to the ban team. (Because it's not actually against the rules.) It's a long thread I'm not really entirely sure. That's just the gist I got from skimming it a week ago. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Seems odd that JT can nuke heavy at with barrage7 Dec 2021, 20:46 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Dec 2021, 20:41 PMKlement Pikhtura Never lost infantry squads to it, but it killed a lost a lot of my AT crews though. BTW such a good idea to give JT a counter to type of support weapon that counters it Well practically speaking an AT gun isn't going to be countering a JT in the first place what with that armor. It's more like the JT being a two-for-one bargain killing Allied heavy tanks and destroying AT guns for the Panthers to come in and run rampage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Upgunning the soviets - the IS-2 6 Dec 2021, 18:16 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2021, 16:02 PMEsxile I tend to not compare units in a vacuum. Their IA dps is probably the same in average but they don't belong to the same faction and not facing the things. I'll not say that gut feeling is better metric than average but there are hidden reasons you don't see the IS2 as often as the Tiger nowaday even if their average IA dps are the same. So, even considering there are less Commanders with the IS2 than there are with Tigers, this doesn't work as a single explanation, there are a lot commanders with few specific units that are seen a lot more than IS2. Alright I don't mean to derail the thread here but since I already said something on topic I hope you'll oblige me. Anyways, I know British people and others outside the US say IA instead of AI for bots (Intelligent Adversary VS. Artificial Intelligence) but what do you mean using IA instead of AI when referring to performance against infantry? Anti-Infantry versus what exactly? Infantry Attack? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Upgunning the soviets - the IS-2 5 Dec 2021, 01:29 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2021, 00:47 AMVipper If you opponent build a KT maybe you should try building a TD... And herein lies the problem, metaphorically speaking. IS-2 is definitely a good tank, but I think it just runs into the old 4v4 problem of AT saturation. You can use IS-2 as a breakthrough tank... in 1v1. (2s and 3s also maybe but idk). But not 4v4, because there is almost certainly death awaiting you. Same goes for KT and Tiger of course. ISU is basically the dedicated soviet 4v4 heavy tank. IS-2 just gets outshined. That's fine. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Thoughts on M18 Hellcat?2 Dec 2021, 15:11 PM I don't know. I mean theoretically it's the perfect counter to a turtling opponent. Cheap AT tank that can be artillery with vet. The big issue is the lower HP and exact same range like was mentioned earlier. EDIT: Also that "long range ambush" ability extends the range, though I haven't been able to make good use of it because I tend to see P4 spam from my friends I play customs with haha.

Thread: Thoughts on M18 Hellcat?2 Dec 2021, 10:49 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2021, 01:57 AMcomm_ash They also lack even enough pen to pen the front of a P4 consistently This, I think, would be forgivable so long as the Hellcat can pen side armor easier. All things considered, front armor is now roughly 25% or less of what you can actually hit on a tank. Also, is it just me or do rear armor hits seem to do extra damage? In: COH3 Central
