Thread: A historical comparison in the Game15 Sep 2014, 17:08 PM i think the ISUs intended role as a heavy assault gun does not translate well into COH2. Its improvised role of anti-tank and blob killer does though. The problem is we do not see much heavy fortifications in the late game when the ISU152 comes out. The ISU will be mainly fighting heavy tanks and not bunkers. In: COH2 Balance

Where are you drawing these conclusions from? observations from the general sentiment of 4v4 players, and I also said "I think" ..really just my opinion In: COH2 Gameplay

Everytime I play them now they seem to get decrewed in seconds. Then the Tigers come rolling in and I'm left with little dedicated AT. That's the biggest hole I'm feeling right now when playing Soviets. yes. they got a received accuracy penalty in the latest patch, a "feature" that no other at gun gets In: COH2 Balance

Thread: 4v415 Sep 2014, 13:56 PM my question is, how was the 4v4 and 3v3 balance before WFA was released? In: COH2 Balance

I'm not great at this game but my AT-team was #1 axis and #3 allies for some time. 4 vs 4 requires way less micro and thinking compared to 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2. People like to play it because they find it more enjoyable since it's easier. Hence why all the casual crowd plays it. They can try their best to balance it but honestly it's near damn impossible because it would ruin the other game modes. speaking as an exclusive 4v4 only player, i don't think it is exactly easier. A lot of people blob but i think this comes from not having to pay attention to the entire map. However, i think 4v4 does have its difficult moments. Since the maps are bigger and there are more units, flanking is a lot more potent and effective. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OBK lategame is broken beyond all reason.15 Sep 2014, 01:45 AM i think it is just cynicism over a lack of speedy change. Obviously we can't expect things to be magically fixed overnight, but any small change , or an official update is better than complete silence. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allies is hurting this game for new players.15 Sep 2014, 01:12 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Sep 2014, 23:29 PMAvNY The problem I think the OP is addressing is multi-fold and I think highlights a flaw in the game, which is worse because the designers have expressed that the current design is not an accident but intentional. One SHOULD NEVER design balance asymmetrically over time. Just don't. It can't work and it can't be satisfying to the players. If OKW is designed to ROFLstomp the US (only the highest level of play and in 1v1 can US hope to stop this) then the design says that US is stronger early game. But if that is the case then US must will ROFLstomp early, which is unsatisfying to the winner and frustrating to the loser. This will lead to (and has) axis saying US is too OP early, and it will seem that way because their wins will look like early game ROFLstomps. So US gets nerfed a little. Not so bad, still stronger early game, but now you have to know how to win fast or mid game while axis still ROFLstomps in end-game. But end-game stomps won't feel like they were cake walks since you had to get to that point by playing well early on. (you don't need to play THAT well since all you have to do is survive. Few factions can deal a killing blow in early game, they have to attain an adcvantage AND know how to keep and exploit it.) If USF is so hard to play, don't sell it by itself. Don't sell it without a tutorial that teaches strategies needed for PvP. And since most people join to play with friends, don't design around 1v1 and not 3v3 4v4 since most of the community, particularly new players, play those. You make some really good points! I think Allies in big team games are a lot more difficult to play, especially in random teams. Obviously having an arranged team will give you a huge advantage, but i think this is more evident for the allies. Since the allied factions are focused on attacking, it requires a lot more coordination and planning than the Axis factions. This problem is magnified in random-player team games. The coordination and communication isn't there to allow allied players to capitalize on their early-game advantage. In: COH2 Gameplay
