Thread: Dear Relic14 Dec 2015, 10:24 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2015, 09:45 AMSwonVIP I think you never faced a good old Barechelon blob. Playing with cover should be way more effective... because thats what this game is all about. Buffs on infantry in cover like the Inf Section would be definitely one step in the right direction. The problem here again isn't the blob but the capacity to associate BARs and RE. Racks for every USF squads is good on the paper but finally brings more balance issues than deeper strategy/tactical play. In: Lobby
Thread: What happened to the M8 Scott?14 Dec 2015, 09:26 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2015, 09:16 AM__deleted__ Scott is the king of building time Because Sherman building time has been updated when Major went 120 fuel or maybe the patch after. Not sure if Scott has been updated as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Early volks + building spam14 Dec 2015, 09:20 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2015, 12:02 PMgarmeth06 I'm having trouble early game with volks, especially volks occupying key buildings. How do I approach the early game? Either they go pure volks spam and just trade favorably with sturm pios, or they go volks + kubel and they still trade fairly decently and put me significantly far behind capping wise with the kubel. I want to be able to make it to m20 armored car or m5 halftrack while even or ahead. Thank you He is smart if he plays with building and deserve to win if you don't do the same There are no miracle solution, all depend on the map/building. Some tips: - Always look 360¤ around the building and check what face has less windows (1 or 2), seek for a short range yellow cover facing it, the trade off shouldn't be too bad. The best is if a building has blind face, attack from here he will not be able to fire back. - CP0 Assault Engineer + flamer (armor company) or CP0 RE + flamer (Rifle company), always have one of those commander in your selection. -When the building is empty: barbwire the building entrances, fast and easy or demo charge if you have the ammo. General thought, cap around, seek for the Kubel and destroy it. Be a lot more mobile, flank him and seek for his truck. He can't be everywhere and should have around the same amount of unit than you so if he left 1 or 2 volks on different buildings, you'll have the upper hand everywhere else. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Proposed change to infantry based rocket AT14 Dec 2015, 09:01 AM Voted no. Shreck and Zooks aren't the problem. The problem is what unit can handle them. With you idea, USF T1 is pretty much definitively fucked and USF forced into Stuart in every game when a light vehicle popup on Axis side. Captain will become a cap and die unit. So lock Zooks to RE and Shreck to whatever other OKW unit which isn't Volks or Pfuss and you'll solve the issue. Something I like more and more is shreck on Obers. It locks early shreck behind a Build Order decision (T3 as second building or not). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Do you prefer the "new" OKW or the "original" OKW?14 Dec 2015, 08:45 AM The new OKW opens more design possibilities. Now the question is what is the design direct Relic wants to follow? So yes, so far from a balance perspective, the new OKW is better. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dear Relic14 Dec 2015, 08:21 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2015, 22:25 PMSwonVIP Increase the received accuracy penalty on red and no cover... problem solved. Really Bad idea. You'll just make LMG king² of battlefields. Blobbing isn't a problem on its own, it is what make the blob effective. Like Lunvest said: native long range dps profile + shreck on 5 men squads. Nobody complains about Engineer Blobs, because they are not effective. In: Lobby
Thread: What happened to the M8 Scott?13 Dec 2015, 09:54 AM I'll say survivability isn't the biggest issue if you micro well. The problem is much more about the inexistent dps it does 90% of the time its fires, even on static targets. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Luchs11 Dec 2015, 20:08 PM Put flamnade and shreck behind side upgrade 100mp/15fu and Luchs will be fine. Or you delay it because you want flamnades and shrecks or you rush it but your early is weaker. The Luchs itself isn't a problem, the problem is its come as the cherry on the top of the cake of an early game dominated by free flamnade denying cover play and free shreck denying light vehicle play. With 30 side fuel upgrades, the player will have to make some tactical choices. And if you don't want side upgrades, link shreck to T1 and flamnade to T2 with a minor cost increase. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Weak Ostwind11 Dec 2015, 08:35 AM Ostwind is a killing machine well used. So use it well. No need for a nerf or a buff. In: COH2 Balance
