Thread: Faction comparison by Relic27 Aug 2015, 12:57 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2015, 20:58 PMbroodwarjc I do see more Ostheer and Soviets in team games, but I still see 1-2 OKW and USF players as well, they are just never the majority. I don't the USF is a dead faction right now, I do think it could use some help, but I don't think it is as bad as some people would claim. OKW is pretty good in 2v2, but starts to fall off in 3v3 and 4v4, where large arty wars and fast early game really punishes them. You can really only get 2-3 Shreks early with Volks and they will get shredded by 2-3 T70s/M5s, and good luck holding back that Maxim spam... King Tiger spam really isn't viable, due to rushing 1-2 of them really puts your team in a bind early and mid game as you sit on your resources adn try to stem the tide with just Volks. I am not sure how UKF will impact the meta, but I do think Relic will give both USF and OKW something to give them some better options throughout the game. OKW has the highest win rate in 3s and 4s . . . In: Lobby
Thread: New guy here26 Aug 2015, 05:02 AM Are you asking if there's overlap between us and the steam coh2 forums? I'm sure there is some but I don't hang out there. In: New Members
Thread: Obersoldaten UP2 Aug 2015, 14:17 PM Obers aren't fine, they're great. With vet 4 or 5 you can walk into a 50 cal's arc and kill it. I guess you can't a move them wherever you want anymore, but that's as it should be. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: P47 strike2 Aug 2015, 13:11 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2015, 23:55 PMCorsin First off... its not a misunderstanding, Im aware of how it works, which is why i made this post... Whats the point of dropping red smoke to "warn" a player if there is nothing they can do about the impending 12 rockets up the ass their tank is about to recive? and it just happily fucked me over of 3 heavy tanks in a game... in 3 strikes... Airstrikes should be supporting not game winning. It needs tuning down, (tbh all call-in aircraft do) but at least straifs arnt as game changing. P47 is where the other airstrikes should be. It doesn't one shot anything. There are about billion counter play options against it. (Get an Ostwind, cuddle up to shot blockers, place an expendable vehicle in the targeting circle to draw fire, keep moving, get out of the f****** circle.) It costs 240 munitions and doesn't one shot anything (unlike the still-ridiculous stuka at loiter/strafe.) It is supporting not game winning. They don't do enough damage to kill a heavy in one pass, even if its at half health. In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: M26 Pershing/Calliope Debate29 Jul 2015, 17:02 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2015, 03:48 AMSierra I think the Brits might have gotten some lend-lease. Completely irrelevant anyway since less than a dozen of them ever actually saw and combat and half of that were destroyed in combat. I'm no expert, but the wiki says that the U.S., the French, the Italians, and the soviets were the only operators. (The Soviets apparently got one and only one through lend lease.) It's a game. Relic has ignored production numbers/combat history in the past (Ostwind, K-tiger, J-Tiger, T34-85, SU-100, PPSH, PTRS vs PTRD etc.) As far as I'm concerned, the only question is will this unit bring some interesting gameplay without wrecking the setting. I'm not convinced that adding Pershing will bring much, but I also don't think it'll wreck anything. It'll probably be a slightly heavier, slightly slower American Panther. In: Lobby
Thread: M4 Sherman needs cost decrease 29 Jul 2015, 16:49 PM Late game Sherman upgrades would be a pretty good way to unfuck the USF in 3v3s and 4v4s, while keeping the flexible generalist feel they've got going. Obviously it'd have to be cost-prohibitive in 1s and 2s. (And maybe they should be cost-inefficient period, in order to prevent the AT game from getting broken.) But letting them get a 76mm, a plow for a big front armor boost, a flamethrower, or turn into a recovery vehicle would be a lot of fun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M26 Pershing/Calliope Debate29 Jul 2015, 02:47 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jul 2015, 23:31 PMSierra Actually they did, those are going to be call in/build related to the UKF. USF will be going without, but they will eventually get a 60mm mortar... I think. That seems unlikely, seeing as the British used the Centurion instead of the Pershing . . . In: Lobby
Thread: Sturmtiger breaks the game26 Jul 2015, 04:40 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2015, 23:49 PMAlexzandvar No like the shell used to explode on the tiniest world objects due to the way projectiles work. The unit doesn't function without the ability to shoot through world objects so it doing reduced damage would just kill it as a unit So? It's an armored allkiller. It was misconceived from the beginning and shouldn't have been in the game. It belongs nerfed it into the neverbuild pile. In: COH2 Gameplay
