Thread: GCS Balance Preview5 Apr 2017, 15:30 PM RIP Soviets if the maxims are overnefed with nothing given to cons. The faction as itself is pretty awful with the recent patches, and the maxim spam is about the only thing that lets them kind of compete with OKW early game. In: Lobby
Thread: MARCH 28th UPDATE30 Mar 2017, 01:21 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2017, 01:14 AMGrumpy So the new Soviet meta is supposed to be: Buy Penals Upgrade to PTRS Get Penals wiped so they drop their weapons Pick up PTRS with Conscripts in late game If, by some chance, this new meta doesn't work out, is there a backup plan for the Soviets besides increased maxim spam? Doesn't really seem to be, the massive nerf they took seems to have made them far less useful, and T1 as a whole is a complete joke with the sniper nerf and the lack of any changes to the clown car. I really don't see the point of ever going T1, maxim and mortars to guards (which were also heavily nerfed) seems to be the only viable way to play soviets now. Or at least I am having absolutely no luck with the PTRS penals, If the whole point of them was to give the soviets some AT out of T1, they are basically now a crappy unit which scales poorly at AI due to the PTRS, and completely obsolete once guards hit the field. At least before they had utility with the satchel and the flamethrower all the way into the late game. No idea what purpose they serve now besides being a much shittier version of a guard squad.

Thread: State of balance - Thematic problems in CoH26 Nov 2015, 17:17 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2015, 09:54 AMaradim No I have problems with logical fallacies and false analogies. Yea I also stopped reading when he said the USF doesn't need smoke. I want to see his method for flanking 3-5 MG's all in buildings or bunkers along with kubels when the enemy doesn't have to do anything other than build MG-42's to shut down your entire early-midgame. Using the VCOH argument is fucking retarded because the games are night and day different. USF and Soviets are fine right now, UKF is pretty ridiculous with recent changes, and the OKW is a freaking joke. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Royal Engineering upgrade21 Oct 2015, 00:52 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2015, 15:36 PMAppleseed here is the video, it is not 100% 1 on 3 but my Churchill is nearly half health to begin with, full health prob able to take them on. Looks balanced to me. I mean in terms of what he is spending on a Churchill it should be able to kill 3 Panzer IV's in a 3 on 1 situation. Otherwise what is the point of building a Churchill? If it dies he won't be able to get 2 -4, and then the British would be in danger of having no chance at a lategame win. Plus it's not like he has any decent alternate AT options that would justify nerfing the Churchill, the 6 pounder and firefly both suffer from lack of penetration and basically suck. On top of that economically Germans are already OP in the mid and late game due to ultra cheap teching costs, so British need the Churchill to have more health than a Kingtiger for incrementally more fuel than the cost of a single Panzer IV in order to compete. I don't know why people bother posting these ludicrous examples of balance working as intended. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OH recent buffs. Justification?21 Oct 2015, 00:43 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2015, 23:30 PMaaa Right now if I get a player who know how to abuse OH strenghts I would never win. +10 1v1 streak i have now mainly cuz most of them were surprisingly bad or not abusing OP features. Ha ha ha that statement made me laugh. You have a 10+ game winning streak and your advocating that its because all 10 of your opponents "were just bad". So nerf the Germans because they are overperforming? Give me a fucking break, I didn't think your position was completely ridiculous until I read that statement and looked at your myopic viewpoint of the game that comes from playing only Soviets.

Thread: New commanders incoming!!!15 Oct 2015, 02:38 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2015, 02:04 AMKubelecer You seriously think that USF will be batshit OP with a no limit on hard paper tank that will cost 200+ fuel? You can still make more than 1 KT and noone is complaining. I fail to see how USF which NEEDS FUEL TO COUNTER ARMOR BECAUSE ZOOKS AND AT GUN SUCK will be unstoppable with 2 pershings at best. If pershing is cheap with bad stats, why limit it? Basically an e8. If it's expensive and has bad stats, why bother getting it? Might aswell get a sherman/jackson If pershing is going to be limited and not that heavy, I would like an AT gun or zooka buff, for you know combined arms instead of 1 arm jackson army when it comes to lategame Uhh yea obviously it would be OP if the USF could go from huge early game advantage to strong midgame vehicle push to equal late game power with an endless heavy armor call in. There is a reason the faction was not designed around heavy armor and instead has numerous other asymetrical design factors. They already have an insane advantage with vet 3 infantry outclassing all but the incredibly rare vet 5 OKW obers or fusilliers. One heavy tank is not game breaking, but giving the USF multiple anti everything panther equivalent would be game breaking retarded. As it is I see no problem with the faction having a heavy tank, it just makes team games all the more lopsided. The real issue I take with this faction is the riflemen mines, rangers, AND the pershing. That combination makes them competitive in 1 v 1 but FUCKING INSANE in larger team matches. With the OKW getting the LIEG nerfed into oblivion, expect to see the true weakness of the faction horribly exposed, and with the USF getting a legit late game heavy armor the number of Axis advantages are rapidly dwindling. Honestly the OKW resource penalty makes about 0 sense when all their "elite" units are outclassed by allied infantry and heavies that have a much much better cost to performance ratio. In: Lobby
Thread: Oct Balance Preview Patch Notes Gathered WIP15 Oct 2015, 01:15 AM Great now you have to micro an indirect fire unit extensively to get it to perform the job of a mortar? Seriously THAT is your fix for the state of the game? This will have absolutely zero effect on people with good to amazing micro, and make the gun horribly annoying to use for everyone else. Why in gods name can't you just remove the stupid pin/supress mechanic and give the OKW some kind of non doctrinal machine gun instead of breaking the gun completely? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Pershing 15 Oct 2015, 01:12 AM Honestly the Pershing seems to be the most underwhelming thing about this doctrine. 800Hp, and 260 armor, it will get smoked by any axis AT, stugs will mop the floor with it. The really broken part of this commander is the rifle mines and zook totting, smg wielding, rangers along with the offmap smoke call in. I can't see how this doctrine can exist in its current state without making every other doctrine the USF has completely obsolete. In: Lobby
Thread: New commanders incoming!!!15 Oct 2015, 00:54 AM Fail to see how this is a big deal when the pershing will have 800 health and get penned by every axis unit. According to it's stats a panther will beat it one on one and the USF can only build a single pershing. Rangers will probably be more of a batshit OP unit with SMG's of death, zooks, and huge received accuracy buffs. Nothing like a super duper anti everything unit. If your going to introduce a heavy tank it would be great if it were you know "heavy". Unless I am mistaken and you can build a hoard of them, that would be game changingly retarded and the USF will have no equal. I like the new flame thrower doctrine for no better reason than it will promote flame spam like never before and completely destroy the game balance. Gotta love spamming flammers on a faction with endless MP float then giving them another ability to get more MP! Might also do something against the allied unstoppable -45% received accuracy blobs. But then again maybe not. All in all I really wish they would just focus on fixing useless commanders instead of bring new ones in, nerfing the shit out of them, and adding yet another dead commander to the pile. You suck Relic, really you do. I just wonder if anyone is at the helm of this company, you have had years to fix some of these commanders and just keep cranking out the new ones. In: Lobby
Thread: Oct Balance Preview Patch Notes Gathered WIP10 Oct 2015, 12:15 PM Peace out OKW. Honestly I was ALL IN FAVOR of nerfing the IEG but without a reasonable way to actually deal suppression the OKW is completely fucked with this patch. As of right now the only thing stopping USF from rolling you right off the map is the stupid LIEG spam. MG-34s are terrible, so realistically how the hell are you supposed to deal with vet 3 rifles? Not to mention that commandos and infantry sections still slaughter volks who are basically cannon fodder at this point. Vet 5? Please. With the wipe mechanics that happens maybe once in a blue moon outside of volks, whose vet 5 is barely on part with allied vet 3. Obers get butchered by pretty much any elite allied infanty and wow I didn't see a single change to the 210MP terminator engineers. Change the OKW teching costs, remove their completely illogical resource penalty, and give them some doctrinal suppression or you won't see them again after these changes. In: COH2 Gameplay
