Thread: Request to devs: Updated veterancy guides for all factions14 Jul 2014, 01:39 AM They already sort of done this with their Unit Profile in their blog. Of course it's not exhaustive, so your point still stands. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What is it about the Luchs that makes it suck?14 Jul 2014, 01:38 AM I took the Luchs to be a heavy recon vehicle that is suited to anti infantry role vs the Puma, which is light AT. Although I think the Luch's fighting power vs infantry is worse than the flaktrack, whose only drawback is that it has to set up and tear down before firing or moving. That said, I hardly ever use the Luchs. If I wanted anti-infantry I go flaktrack, despite the weaknesses. The flaktrack can suppress/pin as well, so I might as well use it like a heavy-duty HMG unit.

Thread: What War Spoils have you won?13 Jul 2014, 03:16 AM Hey guys I made a thread in the Lobby area that's about putting down the time that's spent between war spoils, so people can get an idea of how frequent war spoils are dropped among players. If you guys want to do the same feel free to do the same. It's a bit tedious but I think it's a fun way to engage the war spoils sytem by trying to figure out the math behind it EDIT: the link if you can't find it is http://www.coh2.org/topic/20309/report-the-time-between-your-war-spoils Anways my latest war spoils is an OKW two-tone skin for medium vehicles. It's actually really out of place as it's brown and black for winter maps. Because my Panther needs to look like its riding through snow covered in fresh feces, right? In: Lobby
Thread: Report the time between your war spoils!13 Jul 2014, 03:10 AM *Note please do not comment on the War Spoils system, as this thread is meant merely to post data.* As a way to engage the War Spoils feature, which seems to be based entirely on time played in multiplayer, is to state the time spent per match up until a war spoils crate is awarded. We will then get an idea of just how many people get war spoils in X amount of time. Procedure is simple: -have a notepad or paper with a pen -after every match yu win or lose, note down the time, rounding by the minute -add up the time up until a war spoils is rewarded for the combined estimated time, -then restart the process until another crate is given. I will go first to demonstrate the format: SIX GAMES: 21m, 22m, 27m, 24m, 58m, 18m for a total of 170m or 2.83 hours. Average time was 28.33m War Spoil: one new bulletin "Knight's Cross" (OKW) SEVEN GAMES: 25m, 22m, 19m, 16m, 26m, 26m, 27m for a total of 161m or 2.68 hours. Average time was 23m War Spoil: one duplicate commander "Elite Armored Doctrine" (OKW) SEVEN GAMES: 30m, 22m, 24m, 30m, 30m, 31m, 24m for a total of 191m or 3.18 hours. Average time was 27.28m War Spoil: one new bulletin "Blown Away" THREE GAMES: 31m, 23m, 33m for a total of 87m or 1.45 hours. Average time was 29m War Spoil:one new commander Scavenger Doctrine (OKW). TWO GAMES 34m, 35m for a total of 69m or 1.15 hours. Average time was 34.5m War Spoil: two duplicate bulletins. THIRTEEN GAMES: 23m, 31m, 30m, 21m, 21m, 28m, 17m, 19m, 32m, 22m, 36m, 23m, 45m for a total of 348m or 5.8 hours. Average time was 26.76m War Spoil: two duplicate bulletins and one duplicate commander. TWO GAMES: 26m, 20m, for a total of 46m or 0.76 hours. Average time was 23m War Spoil: OKW one new skin Winter Two-Tone (M) THREE GAMES: 26m, 29m, 35m for a total of 70m or 1.16 hours. Average time was 23.33 War Spoil: one new bulletin "Be Quick or Be Dead" (US) In this reply, summary data is: -43 games -8 drop occurrences -11 actual spoils; 5 new, 6 duplicates -total time 1142 minutes/ 19.03 hours, equivalent to uninterrupted gameplay time of nineteen hours 2 minutes With this recent number of games, the average drop occurrence (1142/8) is 122.75m, or 2.04h, or two hours 3 minutes between drops. Outliers: shortest time between drops was 69m or 1.15 hours, longest time 348m or 5.8 hours. In: Lobby
Thread: Hello there! A guide to the US Forces12 Jul 2014, 18:51 PM Try to go for a video explaining doctrines, ie what units do, how much they cost, etc. You know simple straight forward info that every noob should know. I mean for one thing I'm still trying to figure out wtf I&R Pathfinders are for. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company12 Jul 2014, 18:42 PM I think the weapon drops can be consolidated into a single ability, like a glider that can provide all of these things and more; basically a weaker, slightly more expensive version of the OKW's medic truck, and can also operate like a weapons rack for nearby troops. It could be the last ability and can only be used by the player and not allies. It would therefore act as a forward base that can heal and/or reinforce, at least for paratroopers. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company12 Jul 2014, 15:50 PM Way I see it, the only real reason to get paratroopers is for their upgraded weapons. Other than that they seem to be just fancier riflemen. I like the idea of the Pathfinder having a more recon role to play, I know they are as-is, but they could really be expanded in that role like flares to light up areas. A sniping ability would be great and add a marksman element to the US Forces, even if it's doctrinal. A sniping ability like the one used in Brits in CoH1 would do fine, and as a munitions and cooldown ability would only be used sparingly, such as to finish off that one squad you absolutely do not want to survive the fight by retreating. The unlockable (sorry, war spoils lottery) Air Recon commander actually has better call-ins than Airborne: I&R Pathfinders and the Paradrop with two paratroopers AND an AT gun. The P-47 I actually think is more a liability to my own men- one time my ally kept using it and it posed more a threat to me men rather than the enemy; I swear, he probably had a better chance killing the enemy if he'd targeted our base! Off Topic: does anyone know what's different about the IR variant of the Pathfinders? All I know is that they can call in artillery, but anything else? Is there a unit guide out on the new units?

Thread: Official Obersoldaten OP Thread12 Jul 2014, 10:39 AM I prefer if the Obers had to upgrade for their LMG. Has anyone every had to deal with an Obersoldaten squad that lost their MG34? I'd hazard a guess they still packed a bit of bunch but far less lethal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Panther12 Jul 2014, 10:37 AM I think the OP was more referring to the Panther being a "recycle" from the Ostheer, rather than saying it's not a very good tank given its cost and game stats. In that case I am not sure why the whole thread is largely made up of "Panther sux no ur just a noob" flaming. I do agree that the Panther can be a bit of an oddity especially since it is not a doctrinal unit, but other than a Panzer 4 or some very exotic tank, the Panther fits the bill for a medium T4 tank. Replacing it something like a Panzer 4 wouldn't make a difference even if the variant was different, and having it a lighter tank would demand revising the vehicle roster altogether since the arrangement would be even more unconventional than it already is.

Thread: Purpose of Thompson vehicle crews12 Jul 2014, 09:41 AM I actually thought it was passive. Which would have been good. If anything, the ability should unlock a Thompson weapon rack in place of the LMG that's normally only for the Infantry commander and otherwise entirely useless. This third "doctrinal" weapon rack would serve the purpose of being able to outfit your troops with whatever third weapon a doctrine allows. The only other doctrine besides Infantry that uses LMG are paratroopers' LMG upgrade, which is not dependent on the rack anyways. For 60 or even 90 munitions you can turn every weapon slot-free unit you got into a Sturmpionier. In: COH2 Gameplay
