Thread: Jagdtiger is the new Elefant26 Sep 2014, 04:10 AM I know that game isn't a sim, but from a design, balance, AND realism perspective, it is frustrating the the units that balanced out super heavies in real life, like close air support and artillery, not to mention mechanical unreliability, aren't represented much in the game. IMHO having an Elefant or ISU in the game in the first place is just asking for trouble if AT airstrikes and heavy artillery aren't stock options for all the factions. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The overbearing balance of 4's26 Sep 2014, 04:03 AM ^A soviet doc with a super heavy tank destroyer might help. Though I don't like the idea of fixing balance problems through paid DLC and I doubt Relic has the spare resources to add a new unit for free. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: It's time to nerf OKW late game26 Sep 2014, 03:37 AM Is it really that bad, VonIvan? Are soviets in a better place? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Where are we on recon support? for 2v2 at least26 Sep 2014, 03:25 AM What would you guys think of this commander if the combat group came with a crewed AT gun? In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: I need an allied 2v2 partner N O W.26 Sep 2014, 03:15 AM Feel free to ad me. Same name as here. I'm terrible, though. Rank ~2000 for most factions. I did get to ~1300 with USF once! I only play like 6-8 matches a week. I do communicate though, understand the basics of the game, and I do not build 6 fuel caches and nothing else in 2v2s. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Why no one builds PAKs/Trenches ??26 Sep 2014, 03:10 AM The reason I hate trenches so much is that they actually make units more vulnerable to certain weapons like AT guns and TDs. A ZiS is pretty meh against infantry in the opening, but it's deadly to infantry standing in a trench. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: USF and mobile rocket artillery24 Sep 2014, 04:44 AM Wow, I know that you stole it with falls, who aren't the ideal capturing unit, but Jesus, that piece of shit wannabe artillery gun costs more to reinforce than soviet snipers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ComputerHeat Shoutcasts24 Sep 2014, 03:09 AM I love your shoutcasts! Keep it up! There's something about the tone of them that keeps it entertaining throughout the entire match. In: COH2 Shoutcasts
Thread: Very Radical Soviet Tier-ing Idea24 Sep 2014, 01:46 AM No way Relic will ever put this in the game, but I believe they will add mod tools at some point, so you should hang on to this and go about setting it up if/when that happens. edit: I'd have to play both to make a judgement, but on paper I like your idea much better than the current system. I'm only pointing out that there's no precedent for Relic making such sweeping changes to a game after release, so this, and similar suggestions, are basically futile ... unless they're made into fantastic mods later.

Thread: war spoils23 Sep 2014, 23:16 PM Hmm... Warspoils has done nothing but add possibly useful commanders to peoples' inventories, so it's hardly a bad thing by any measure. That said, it's bad form releasing something when you know that it isn't finished yet, even if it's a benign addition. They should have somehow just asked everyone if they wanted to "opt in" to a "warspoils beta," with the selling point that you have nothing to lose and might get some free DLC, with the warning that you may get a few duplicates. It would have totally changed around the feel of the whole thing. In: Lobby
