Thread: OKW's early game over-dominance18 Apr 2017, 14:45 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2017, 13:12 PMLeStrigoi Yup, can you tell me anywhere were I said that I think the flak HT should counter everything? I said OKW were justified in having an MG because the FHT doesn't perform great and regardless of that they perform different roles. Now I am saying the FHT isn't fantastic generally, because it gets shut down very easy by almost all allied light vehicles. Not true, it wins vs m20/M3/UC and it is really situation dependent vs the USF M15 to decide who wins the engagement, I don't know about the Sov M15 to be honest. It loses to mgs in garrisons. It gets shut down super hard by AT guns because it can't play around them (at least it can escape them now because of vet1 smoke) These are the problems with the unit. Which are the same issue for the USF and Sov M15, you can't go around a Pack with such vehicles if you are already on its cone of fire. Funny thing is, if you move it two conscript squads can basically take it out because it just can't fight back. You mean like any other light vehcile vs 2 potential threat? if you don't retreat you're fucked. Its a weird unit, is still in a weird spot now and always has been. Can't teach you how to play it but since the patch it goes to end game really easily if you micro it well. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW's early game over-dominance15 Apr 2017, 18:36 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2017, 18:04 PMZombiFrancis From the engagement you're referencing from the replay, the USF player stayed at range in open cover versus volks in green cover, then advanced through red cover to said volks. I have experienced a full life RM on yellow cover losing or calling draw vs a full life volks no cover at mid/long range. I have experienced a lot of situations where Volks simply beat RM on short distance due to RNG factors or simply using a grenade. We have to be honest, voks trades very well vs most expensive infantry. Volks get STG on the field while RM need to retreat to their barrack Volks STG is egal to RM+1 Bar, which let them trade favorably for a long period of time. Volks get flamnade with the first truck. Volks get MG34 support from any truck build. Volks have Sturmpioner as support unit which let them trade even more favorably vs 2 RM/Penal/IS/Cons or whatever infantry you want. Volks flamnade is just a reverse factor on too many situations. I understand OKW need them for clearing building and flamnade are perfectly fine for that. But on the open field, it is just an OP grenade that deny cover and let you finish your opponent with your STGs. I have been playing a lot of random 2vs2 games on allied side lately and every single game is the same story. My parter, Brit or Sov get reck after 10 minutes. So maybe the matchmaking is joking me assigning me everytime a dump partner or simply they can't do shit vs what have become OKW and in some extend Ostheer. My only victories are when the system assigns me another USF player now... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: GCS placement match stats (w/ updates)15 Apr 2017, 17:42 PM I don't play Soviet but from what I see on teamgame, they are just piece of trash... OKW is now the dominating faction vs everything. Their infantry is still too strong. You have the best starting unit, Volks that can very well trade with any other more expensive infantry and obers that are really good. I have seen blob of one of each lately and they are all lethal and cost effectif. In: Lobby
Thread: Opinion on the "new" USF mortar?12 Apr 2017, 08:10 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2017, 20:54 PMVaz I've said my peace about the mortar, so I have to derail now. I don't see how you think the scott sucks because of a bug that doesn't even affect it's best strength. Honestly the scott is one of the shining stars of my army now. I get people doing all kinds of stupid risky crap to kill it (like overextending panthers and king tigers into m6 mines). One game I got over 80 kills with a single Scott that survived the entire game! I actually thought it was in danger of being nerfed. It does miss a lot, but keeping it behind an infantry wall is extremely effective. Once it hits it's pretty damned devastating. Sometimes on-par with the difficulty of dealing with a brumbar, but cheaper. I won a 1vs1 game I was primarily losing cuz my opponent rushed my vet3 Scott with his Pz4 + Pz5 + Stuka loitering. At that time I only had 1 M36 + a zook squad. He didn't kill the Scott and I killed his 2 panzers. He was probably getting made with the Scott raping his infantry. Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2017, 00:33 AMImagelessbean USF mortar appears OK to me. You have a mortar which cannot be stolen because of its pack up time and it gives you smoke if you want to avoid munitions and fuel cost. Use the unit for this function and you will be rewarded. If you are looking for long range indirect fire try the Pak howie, still amazing. The USF mortar is clearly a optional unit in case of HMG42 spam, and only to use smoke... Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2017, 01:23 AMLoopDloop I think the pack howie needs either a major cost decrease or an autofire range increase, but I still love the thing. I cost decrease could be cool, and also a 3 men setup or an increase in it cover defense, otherwise its a good unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Visions about P4 and P511 Apr 2017, 06:24 AM The design issue relies in Ostheer not having a light tank like other factions have and having their medium tank arriving after the other. Scenario 1: Your opponent build a LT, you have to wait longer to get an appropriate medium tank to counter it and your opponent will be able to field its own medium soon after. Scenario 2: Your opponent don't build a LT and still, you'll get your medium tank after him. The Pz4 should see its cost decrease around 110 fuel, its moving accuracy increased and some of its raw stats decrease to match other medium. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinion on the "new" USF mortar?10 Apr 2017, 19:04 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2017, 17:26 PMRetief Enemy hmg is in building. You build mortar and click barrage on building... which does nothing since it miss the building and doesn't do that much damage when it doesn't miss. Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2017, 17:31 PMferwiner The mortar is really good. It does perfectly what it was designed for - drops smoke and counters garrisons... For what if you don't have a flammer to burn the garrison. Smoke is a double edge sword. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Coh2chart.com new data tell us alot....10 Apr 2017, 19:00 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2017, 17:46 PMTobis It's literally only one data point. 1. Patch just comes out 2. People want to try out the buffed factions, nobody wants to test out nerfs 3. All the good players who came back because of the patch play axis and wreck all the normal players still playing allies Give it a couple weeks to stabilize. The data pulled with barely any direction, you can't make any real conclusions based on it. Anything from coh2chart is just theory crafting. Only the good players came back to try Axis? I was just saying that where nobody use cheesy strat, axis was already dominating and with the patch it is going to be even more. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: GCS placement match stats (w/ updates)10 Apr 2017, 14:21 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2017, 14:08 PMMr.Smith I just hope there's going to be more ostheer (vs any) matches, so that we can actually draw some safe conclusions about the state of balance. Whenever possible, we tried to adjust all things that entered scope to Ostheer levels. Of course, we didn't get to touch any OKW stuff, so that's what you get. @ Siphon, once the placement matches are near-complete (say by mid-week), would it be possible to get info on which OKW commanders were used for the winning matches? e.g., was it pfussy blobs? king tiger? volksblobs? Do you think people will play Ostheer for the sake of playing Ostheer? You'll get no answer about Ostheer in this tournament if OKW is above all other factions. In: Lobby
