Thread: How do deal with double wielding rifles?17 Feb 2017, 08:49 AM BAR(60ammo)x2 x4 = 480 ammo Zook(50ammo)x2 x2 = 200 ammo 680 munition in ten minutes? Were you playing a high resources custom game? Imo, he was better than you. And you can post a replay so we can really see what happened. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Debuff for blobs17 Feb 2017, 07:51 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2017, 00:38 AMFnPdestroyer Yes I know 1v1s are what this game is about but some effort could be made so team games are a little more competitive. Lol² If two players come to you with 3 or 4 units each and your mate is not helping, that's a a blob issue but team play's one. You cannot better balance the game upon 2vs2 than 1vs1. What can be done on team play's games is reducing the income to slow down the game speed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is the state of Panzer 4 on the Winter Balance Patch16 Feb 2017, 17:06 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2017, 16:46 PMTobis It comes out at a good time imo. I don't think we need to see more p4s earlier on the field, it's just not as effective as it should be. I like the idea of fewer better p4s supported by the Ostheer support weapons than just straight up more p4s to make up its weaknesses. Some asymmetry in medium tank pricing is also nice. Personal preference really. As Ostheer the P4 is usually your first real armored vehicle that have a impact, Sov have T70, USF stuart, brit AEC and OKW Luch. I know we must keep it in perspective with the WBP but your Pz4 is actually quite critical when it comes out today. It would be good to reduce this criticality to make the Ostheer mid game transition less stressful. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What is the state of Panzer 4 on the Winter Balance Patch16 Feb 2017, 07:33 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2017, 04:26 AMTobis The p4 is not a bad tank, it's just that everything else is better. I would give it a slight boost to penetration and accuracy, that is all it needs. It does not need a fuel cost decrease, it comes at a good time in the build order. It doesn't need to come faster. The little bit more accuracy and penetration will help it match up better against the t-34/85 and the Easy-8, which are closer to its equivalents price-wise. Once the other over-performing medium tanks are brought in line it will be in a good spot. The OKW p4 is completely fine though. The extra starting armor, the faster OKW repair speeds, and the amazing veterancy bonuses make up for any shortcomings in the tank. I would have propose the opposite, keep it as it is but decrease its fuel price to 110. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Debuff for blobs15 Feb 2017, 07:27 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Feb 2017, 00:28 AMFnPdestroyer People are saying blobs are easily countered and if you can't you are a noob yet many of the top 10 2v2 players blob all the time... something doesn't add up here. Sure there are ways to counter but blobs are way too effective to the point where often top players will blob not because they aren't skilled players but because the blobs can be just that effective. In real life a lot of guys bunched up are a lot easier to hit and the guys at the back will also struggle to shoot because they have like 20 team mates in front. I would personally increase received accuracy and decrease outgoing damage and increase suppression. How to implement? It could be based upon the level of overlap between squads so a small overlap between two squads does nothing but 6 squads in a ball has serious debuffs. Or just make it if 3 or more squads are together if it needs to be simpler in coding. Lul 2vs2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Debuff for blobs14 Feb 2017, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2017, 16:17 PMaerafield This guy is right. Blobs are still waaaay to powerfull in this game. @Dear Pros saying they are easy to counter: What you gonna say to newcomers who are frustrated by this pudding? yes, with decent HMG micro and arty you can keep most blobs under control .. Problem is that these 2 blob-counters often get roflstomped by indirect fire, and german arty can be dodged way easier than most allies arty. Maybe design Sturmtiger as non-doctrinal unit for both Wehr and OKW?? Not being myself pro, I'll say: Blob and see how you get countered once you start fighting people who knows how to play. Once you start losing, watch replays and copy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter Balance Preview Replays14 Feb 2017, 13:37 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2017, 16:20 PMNosliw If the problem is a timing issue, why not make the AEC like an M8 and increase the upgrade cost for it so that it is delayed? Or would that just make Cromwell the better option always? Sounds like faction design flaw... putting a light tank so early in the tech tree for a defensive faction. Sigh. Not sure you can compare the M8 with the AEC, the Coh1 M8 came as an alternative to the global BARs upgrade. 60 fuel each if I remember well. If you went BARs first, you're unlikely to build a M8 to counter Pumas. If you go M8 first, your opponent isn't going to build a Puma without upgrade. You cannot really compare this situation with the Bofor/AEC. I'm all for the AEC becoming a Puma like. But if nothing is change for the Bofor (aka nerfing it usage by making it less brainless autofire everything in range) everybody will go Bofor over AEC and we'll be ending in the same meta over and over but this time with the Bofor.

Thread: Wehrmacht Infantry in WBP till 1.810 Feb 2017, 17:13 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2017, 10:47 AM0ld_Shatterhand The comparison to an mmo isn't viable. CoH is a strategy game, there the only decisive factor should be your skill. The goal of an mmo is to get better loot and abilities, so your char levels up and becomes better. It´s not always necessary to become a better player, the superior items should be enough to win vs lower level players, even if they might are better players. This holds true for an mmo, but it should not for an rts. Buyable Items, in this case commanders shouldn´t have an impact on the outcoming of the game. In a hypothetical game between two players of equal skill the player with the better commander will win. And in most cases the better commander was bought = definition of p2win. It was totally obvious before the war spoils patch and it got better but p2w is still a thing, because the effort/reward ratio is still not fair especially for new players. At the moment Relic added the Commanders to the drop list, it took some of the MMO mechanisms. Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2017, 10:56 AMHighfiveeeee snip I don't really understand what you want to demonstrate. The game has been paytowin since the realize of its first DLC commander, everyone had to bought them. Even the system has improve to give you more chance to get them for free. 1- You still have a chance to drop them. NEW: 2- You can play and collect supply and someday get them for free. Or you can spend money. The argument of newbies are disadvantaged is null, the game is Paytowin, if they want the commander now they buy it like you and many other did. They are DLC, new content like in any game DLCs give you more power over people not owning them. Now we could argue that Relic could make them all free, but that a commercial decision.
