Thread: 2020 CoH 3 is becoming more real by every day5 Nov 2018, 16:43 PM Beginning of WW2 isn't entertaining for the majority of the population playing the franchise: Who want to play USA-I-stay-in-cover-on-the-other-side-of-the-atlantic and Russia-I-pact-with-Germany-to-get-my-piece-of-polish-cake? Remember, early period of war is Poland vs Germany and then France-UK-Belgium vs Germany. In: Lobby
Thread: Buff Ostwind4 Nov 2018, 20:27 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2018, 18:47 PMCardboard Tank Like the Centaur? The Ostwind is seriously lacking in performance. My buddy used it some days ago to great effect but even at vet 3 it had serious problems wiping squads. Something the Centaur would have done easily. Imo it needs to have better accuracy on the move so it can chase down infantry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZCxlNDBIR8#t=29m02s The linked part (until 29:40) shows its biggest problem. It can't hit while moving. And even the accuracy while standing leaves room for improvements. Like the Cromwell is definitively not the Pz4. But yeah, we can buff the Ostwind to Centaur level and nerf the Pz4 to Cromwell level. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Ostwind4 Nov 2018, 15:19 PM They buffed the Pz4 so it could be an all-in tank, so yes we see much less Ostwind and Stugs. Even if you buff the Ostwind to Pz4 level, it wouldn't be interesting to get it and buffing it even more would make infantry play a nightmare vs it at the moment it hit the field. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Unfair USF grenade cost 2 Nov 2018, 16:32 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2018, 16:19 PMblvckdream IMO the idea behind it is more to make Riflemen scale well without being too good early game. Buying grenades for 25 fuel in early game is a really bad idea in any case. Especially because USF has a slow start against OKW anyways. That's why OKW get Obers late game with better weapon, better stats and better grenades... Anyway, Riflemen aren't anymore too good early game, especially vs OKW. Grenades are good if you're able to multiply simultaneous engagement which USF can't do vs OKW. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: insta kill mines1 Nov 2018, 19:33 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Nov 2018, 18:57 PMShadowLinkX37 ???????????? Honestly you look like you just like spewing BS. If the PTRS is not already on the squad, then the AI it has when constructed would be therefore untouched by the PTRS AI nerf. Honestly amazed someone thinks the PTRS was added because their AI performance was too strong. If that were the case they'd just nerf their base stats. But tell me more about bias since you play 1 faction lol. Soviet T1 in general was pure IA and thus giving balance issues, if Penal weren't enough strong to carry the early game then the T1 would be useless except for Sniper play. So or Penal could carry the early game till T70 and be considered as OP, or they couldn't and be considered as UP. Adding PTRS option was the solution to keep penals good but not too good in exchange of a AT safety option. This is completely different from Ostheer which has always been design around linear teching. Skipping T1 or T2 is a strategic decision from the player, not a Faction design feature. Back on topic, Tellers shouldn't insta kill anymore since LVs general nerf. There isn't even viable argumentation in regard of what happened to demo which was following the exact same principle.

Thread: Just wanna bounce a build idea around1 Nov 2018, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Nov 2018, 17:02 PMLeOverlord Isn't Captain tier supposed to counter Ostheer due to the fact that pack howitzer can counter statics positions? What's the strategy behind 2 Rifles and 2 REs? A lot of map control early game so the lieutenant come faster + fast IR squad or you can equip one RE with flamethrower and the second with zooks, you can have a faster mortar also. Then you can call Para squads etc... You use the RE to cap everywhere and the Rifle to protect your cutoff early game. That's a strat that work well vs classic Ostheer or OKW start but vs someone who spam 4 volks or 4 gren and rush your cutoff, that's super hard to counter. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Just wanna bounce a build idea around1 Nov 2018, 15:15 PM I've been using a x2RE x2Rifle start for a long time and reached its limitation now. People understand that 4xgren or 4xvolks are > to 3xRM until Lieutenant hit the field and I barely see anything else atm. So imagine with only x2Rifle. it works vs slow players as mentioned JFJ but face a rusher and you'll be butt wiped in 5 minutes. I'm actually back to classic x3rifles after doing almost exclusively x2rifles and feel the difference. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: USF Teching Costs1 Nov 2018, 09:44 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Nov 2018, 08:51 AMVipper ---------- The reason I continue bringing this issues up, is not to derail the thread, but imo the problems of the USF have derive directly from the performance of riflemen and messing with tech cost might solve some issues but it will create more and it will force more axis unit to be buffed. So in order to make USF better, let's nerf rifles. Vipper's logic. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: insta kill mines1 Nov 2018, 08:25 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2018, 21:10 PMShadowLinkX37 Soviets were given PTRS penals because prior to that T1 soviets would get dumped on by lights because there were no AT options. Literally the same thing would happen to ostheer if we took away their ability to kill lights and the puma. Or is "use 4 snares on a kiting T70 acceptable AT" I don't know why having a sweeper and repairs close to your light is a foreign concept, that or you just want to dive with T70s and have no reprocussions. Maybe play the game before calling other people "bad" T2 OST shouldn't be required either. By that logic USF is fine and should just get both LT and CPT because they have decent tools in those tiers. What a biais memory you have. Penal were given PTRS in order to nerf their insane AI damage. Without PTRS option Penal would have been impossible to balance between OPness and uselessness. Anyway, since you don't want to understand the difference between skipping tier and non linear tiering, I guess there it is hopeless to talk with you. In: COH2 Balance
