Thread: State of the balance14 Jan 2016, 09:03 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2016, 15:42 PMelchino7 If you go T4, OP Werfer can save the day. Tiger is a bit better with the extra range. Don't listen to him, OP. PzWerfer is not OP, it finally worth building, and it does a good job, that's all. Tiger has its extrarange allright, somewhere between a P4 and a Panther, but it's still a Fat panzer IV and nothing more. I'm not calling it UP but it's not what it was some time ago.... Oh, and there is one more thing these guys forgot to tell you: you cannot spam heavies anymore. They are limited to just one at a time, and this added some strategic depth to the game together with making tiers more appealing which overall improved the gameplay. In: Lobby

Thread: YOUR Faction of Choice14 Jan 2016, 07:09 AM I would vote for every faction there, besides Soviets who I allways disliked (dunno why, maybe faction design, the uniforms lel). 1. I like OH versatility and multitude of choices; 2. I like OKW sturdyness and the trucks idea (the possibilities it offers); 3. I like USF easy-to-playness because of the LOLblob; 4. I like UKF elite-feeling and the fact that is so hard to play that you realy feel rewarded when winning. Also I like their incredible usefull Offmaps/Dotrines. In: Lobby
Thread: There is something should be done about rocket artillery.14 Jan 2016, 07:00 AM Playercard or stop posting Now Serious Lee, I don't think rocket artilery needs nurfing. I was thinking at something, just a crazy idea. Rocket arttilery is verry relevant in COH2 while howies are quite meh. If howitzers are in general not such a good choice, because of their slow reaction and bad accuracy, let's link these 2 artilery types somehow: Give all howies the counterbarrage ability from vet zero, make them to automatically shoot/answer only to rocket artilery and to other howitzers (if you wanna bombard any other unit types you have to do it manually), and, while counterbarraging, make them quick and accurate, so that after one mobile rocket arty platform shoots, there is a good chance to be hit by the first two shells of the responding howie. So if enemy has a howie built, everytime you shoot with a pwerfer, katy, wurframen, CalliOP, you will know there are 40% percent chances to lose it in that verry spot, and even a higher percent if you don't micro it quickly after shooting. This way, howies will be more attractive, and you will not feel that confy anymore when abusing your rocket arty . In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Strats for 1 vs 1 Brits besides Turtle14 Jan 2016, 06:44 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2016, 02:26 AMedibleshrapnel Helpinghans just beat me, I've now learned the ways of tech rush and double snipers, as well as placing mines in front of your base entrance to prevent luchs rush. Darn good player. Double sniper? Hmmm.... I never considered this, feels to expensive but the effect may be devastating especialy against small squad factions as OH. In my british noob games, I found it more difficult to face ostheer than OKW. In fact, I feel that "rushing a P2" strategy against brits may appear as a good strategy because of their lack of antivehicle snare, but in fact it's not, especially if the british player rushes cromwell. In my 2 games against such an OKW strategy, I managed to build cromwell only 20-30 seconds later than the enemy built his P2. But at such high level of play, I imagine the problems are different.

Thread: Gren 42 and G43 combo14 Jan 2016, 06:29 AM Not sure it's a good change. I would rather revert G43's profile to what it was before - a long range, accurate weapon and keep this interdiction (squads cannot field both lmg and G43s). The current G43 profile (a middle range weapon, similar to SVT, and good for shooting while moving) does not fit to ostheer army profile which favours efficiency at long range related to almost all weapon it uses. And, in addition, grenadiers are not good at flanking. They are 4, and drop models fast. Combining the current G43 with lmg42 it's weird, because the squad must chose a different behavior in the fight, depending on what weapon they want to use in the first place. If they want to use G43, and shooting while moving, the lmg42 cannot be used. If they want to use lmg 42, they better engage at distance, where the current G43 it's not so good at.... P.S. You used "However" to much in your post... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortars should cause abandon on tanks with exposed crew13 Jan 2016, 12:08 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2016, 10:43 AMrobertmikael How can for example Jackson be abandoned when the driver sits inside? Everyone will get injured and/or will flee, while the driver will curse at them, of course. Eventually, he will exit the tank too, smashing his cap to the ground and he will leave the map with his hands on the pockets blabering something about game mechanics. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Greyhound....13 Jan 2016, 11:57 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2016, 11:51 AMpugzii And what factions would that be? OKW, Wehr? Lel.. please enlighten me with your 1000+ ladder knowledge My place in the ladder is irrelevant as long as I am matched with opponents of the same rank and play all factions (balance at place 1000+ is no different from balance in top 100 if we consider what I said before the brakets) so I don't care about your assertion which is also irrelevant. To your biased profile surprise, those factions will be, in this order: 1. UKF certainly. 2. Ostheer, but to a lesser extent. Both related to early game stage. Is this answer satisfying for your place in the ladder? Oh wait, we don't know what that is, because no playercard showing in signature or in the avatar section. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehr winning all 3 games in ESL EU Finals.13 Jan 2016, 11:01 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2016, 10:38 AMcarloff http://www.coh2.org/ladders/playercard/steamid/76561198008700130 So you play mostly 4v4, almost exclusively with allies (I counted maybe 12 games as Axis in total), have five 1v1 games, but you judge top 1v1 players performance and talk about 1v1 balance stating how OP wehrmacht is. Wow, nothing more to add I guess. In: COH2 Balance
