Thread: Suggestion / realistic fix to German rifle nades.21 May 2015, 05:24 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2015, 22:19 PMSkabinsk A possible solution would be to have the rifle nade work like a mortar, meaning the further the distance the more scatter it will have. We all know how powerful it is and it ability to wipe so many units. It costs amo. And if acting like a mortar means that the possibility to entirely miss and kill nothing will be quite high from far range having in view that you paid for it. You don't pay for autofire mortar shells. Grenadiers excells at high range engagements. The rule is to close in, at close range where they quite suck. Having this said, I agree that the rifle nade is the most useful nade in the game. Though I see no need to change it. Usefullness doesn't always mean OP. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: OKW Op.... really?20 May 2015, 09:26 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2015, 09:15 AMSteinerGER In its core its an allied circlejerk. But in the end I am not wondering. hours of competitive cups et cetara have been proving that soviets is by far the most versatile faction with the most oomph. Yet people try to claim otherwise. And for 2v2 I've found this on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/CompanyOfHeroes/comments/35sz0f/i_have_watched_1000_2v2_games_since_the_newest/ I think 1000 is a samplesize quite big enough to show a tendency for at least 2v2 matchups. 3v3 and 4v4 is FUBAR. It was before and will be forever. It is not balancable, not with 4 factions and the amount of doctrines for OH and SU. They will deny any statistics that prove Soviets are OP. They will tell you that a black horse is actually white. But who cares anyway? When is that patch with brits comming? We'll see then. And if you think a game with 4 factions it's hard to balance, wait and see how balance will work with the fifth faction in it. After years of play I know the truth is that we will NEVER see balance in COH2. Factions will be favoured by game for periods of time (shorter or longer). What one can do, is to adapt at the current state of the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic, you gonna fix 120mm, or not?20 May 2015, 08:43 AM I kinda like the ISG right now though it doesn't do such a great job to justify its price. One ISG on map is ok, two are really good..... There is somwhere around here a guide that teaches you how to properly use the little devil. And it's quite useful. Its only problem is that sometimes shines in a battle, sometimes you are wondering if the crew is out for a nap, because it hits nothing and doesn't gain veterancy. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: People are probably taking this game too seriously 20 May 2015, 06:33 AM It's incredible how you people keep complaining about Axis even in a thread that has nothing to do with units' OPness or balance. My view related to what OP said is that OP it's right and a game should be taken as a game especially one filled like hell with RNG. That being said, there is a big difference between what we should do and what we can do. Because I can't help being pissed off some times I play because excessive RNG occurence, because weak performance of my mates or incredible performance of opponents that make you think they are on cheats or something. Let's face it, no experienced player stops for a second ingame thinking "it's not the rng, it's not cheat, it's not my mate. I am just performing horribly today". Fact is the game has a verry, verry competitive profile no matter what OP or others are saying because you just don't know how much rng, skill, or other things contribute to your loss/win and you are constantly trying to prove to yourself that you can win every time. Which will never happen . Besides its competitive nature, a battle takes long enough to stretch your nervs. Which is why I guess the best players are those that can master their nervs well, just like tennis players. I am not one of those, unfortunately. And besides all, the game invites you to continuously search for new strategies and tactics that can answer to everything opponents are throwing against you. There is no infallible receipt, and we all know this since COH1. All these things hold many players from acting pollite or mature and many other players to feel that is just a game and laugh when they lose. I tried to play SC2 before COH2 appeared. Played a couple of games, quit. It has not even 20% from COH series addiction, exactly because of the things stated above. High addiction means a higher love for the game. We have no chance to escape, it's like cigarettes: if you wanna quit, do it suddenly, without a thought and without looking back In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Jackson vs Wolverine20 May 2015, 05:44 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2015, 03:33 AMWhat Doth Life?! Even at vet 3 the M10 can do almost nothing to Panthers and Tigers. I would like to see the M10 become non-doctrinal in the captain tier. Perhaps lock it behind a nominal upgrade that makes you pick pack howitzer or m10. M10 is not made to fight Tigers and Panthers. He is for stopping ostheer T3 units together with Pumas and pzIIs. And it does a good job because it can be spamed in numbers, it's fast and it can crush infantry, as a bonus. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USSR FHQ Ability OP20 May 2015, 05:31 AM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2015, 14:23 PMImagelessbean Belittle my post but contribute nothing, good work...I guess. Jaegers or Sturm Officer is excellent to do MP bleed because the units do great work at long range. You want to maximize your range against units around the FHQ so you can disengage whenever you want. This allows you to bleed when it seems good to you and get out if you are taking too many losses. Also both of these units excel against conscripts which is what he is going to have all around the building. But since you seem happy to just make fun of other posters don't worry about it. ...from your previous post one could understand that you suggest for ONE player to build Jager infantry AND Sturm Offitzier .... same player.... do you see where is the problem now?
