Thread: Volk throw their incendiary grenade too quickly20 Sep 2015, 11:20 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 14:43 PMSwitzerland It does 20 initial, which people were unhappy about the Molotov doing so it was Nerfed to 10, which means it does a lot of damage upon landing. The idea is that the role of volks' grenades simply changed in this patch. They are now to be used on stationary unit types like team crews and ATguns + buildings. And they do a good job against emplacements. I rather feel that was a clever and appropriate change so I don't really think anyone should have reasons to whine about them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 17th Sept Patch impressions - post here20 Sep 2015, 11:17 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 15:21 PMadrian23 "Why in the world are you crying over emplacements? " because emplacements are in the game for a reason .. to be USED! now why the fuck would you waste 400 mp as brits (mp starved faction) for a static mortar empalcement (since they don't have other indirect fire) when a 360 mp leig can take it out in 30 seconds and you can't do shit about it (u probably lose your engineers aswell trying to repair it)... mortar ht with flame also destroys emplacements in seconds .. Man, before patch emplacements were like interdiction zones for every early to middle game axis unit. Now the only difference is that they were balanced. So they don't feel OP anymore, they feel BALANCED. And if you want to say anything, I will just tell you to look at OKW emplacements and tell me that they are ok so I can say that you are more than biased. In: Lobby
Thread: USF M15 AA HT20 Sep 2015, 11:13 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 20:05 PMPhy Yeah, please, back to crap USF so axisfanboys can instawin. FFS less than a day and forums flooded with axis fanboys tears. Patètic. Don't get me wrong, I like the AA Ht now, it scares me though how easy to use is it. I used it already several times and I have to say that is a must now for USF because it's so good and handy. But I'm afraid it's to much. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 17th Sept Patch impressions - post here18 Sep 2015, 13:43 PM Why in the world are you crying over emplacements? They were OP as fuck. Look at the buffs received by USF and soviets instead. Gsus they are stupid. In: Lobby
Thread: Volk throw their incendiary grenade too quickly18 Sep 2015, 13:33 PM It's absofuckn'lutely okish because it does not to much of a damage at landing, didn't you notice?? The amount of stupid things written around here is terrible. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF M15 AA HT18 Sep 2015, 13:31 PM They fuckin' overbuffed USF. Relic, you never ever going to get things right. This and the partisans thing, now I am sure Relic just trolled with this patch. That's sick. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Partisan SMGs18 Sep 2015, 08:25 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2015, 07:32 AMKatitof 1) You compare them to storms, not shocks. 2) Storms have 0.7 rec acc modifier, partisans don't. This makes partisans die like flies, storms don't. 3) Storms have much stronger AI and AT upgrades that come with ability supporting that weapon choice, partisans don't. 4) Yes, you're overreacting, because partisans up until now were shooting rubber bullets and if their molo haven't done any dmg, then they didn't either. 5) Its early game pressure doctrine, it doesn't have anything except early game power and some minor utility for late game. Yes, you are telling to a much better player than you that he is wrong. Yes, your bias is skyhigh. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: VIPUKS can help you to play better.18 Sep 2015, 05:58 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 19:25 PMVIPUKS Finnaly came back from frontline so I can write now. Well about axis. I think double ost has its own potential but probably everyone want to imagine that they are doing "teamwork" if they mix factions. Probably it's not a surprise that ukf is actually really weak against arty ( talking without today's upcoming patch) I and my mate struggled hard as allies against axis who used their double mortar really smart and struggled even harder if they added 1-2 isgs from our lovely okw. Another good thing to have in 2v2 as axis is vision for your mortars or any other team guns so again elephant commander with spotting scopes on scout car is pretty 99.99% always good thing to do cause you can prepare against incoming enemy waves and flanks. Did I told you how annoying stugs with scopes are? Well they are.. you know now. About buildorder it's something what you can always play with. Ussualy as ostheer I get mg gren gren gren ( a lot of cons? Another mg if no another gren or sniper against ukf) than quick scout car with spotting scopes. And than we get what ever I need to counter my oponent. Or if I'm going mortar meta. Mg gren gren mortar mortar gren scout car or pak.. Depends when that evil m5 comes out. About okw vs brits well again it's something that depends on maps but I don't recommend investing high in volks cause they don't scale good vs is so I ussualy build another sturmpio kubel volk volk ( m3? Raketen) no m3 volk raketen quick t2 than maybe isg ( it's always good to have isg = ultra rng squad wiping unit) and than t4 and see what we can do Well that is pretty it. Hope these tips will help you in the battlefield. I realy have to use scopes more, I know what they can do, still I don't use them (!!) because I thought other doctrines are better. Elefant doctrine provides you with a good solution to british late game armor and now that emplacements aren't probably that good, the MHT is not so necessary (hopefully). Related to OKW, yeah, I usualy do what you say, double isg work great. I was never a volk blobber, but I think some shreck volks are necessary to help OKW armor which lacks in numbers. I also observed that building more than one raketen is allways a good idea vs brits. Thanks! In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Some thoughts on Sep 17th patch.17 Sep 2015, 18:54 PM Aham, ok, let's see: Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 -Questionable 3 SP opening, which backfired later on. It could had been worst if no missmicro on the Bren flamer. He also built a raketen and had no luck with it. Because only luck could help there. And what would you have done? volks? with shrecks? Don't make me laugh. Almost every shreck shot miss the bren. But you wouldn't know that, would you? Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 -Centaur punish his build badly. Centaur punish almost every build badly, fyi. Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 -Constant trade from snipers and Falls. SO MANY FALLS in this game. Agree, to expensive infantry for brits infantry killing rate. I would never use that doctrine against brits. Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 -30: either PIV or PV would had been better? Infantry wise he was doing fine. An extra rak at some point wouldn't had hurt. What??? PZ IV against brits? You ever played against brits, mate? Panther would have kinda' slowed badly his armor build. You ever played OKW mate? You ever met the fuel problem? Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 -38: lost of vet2 rak. His only AT against 2 Churchills and Cromwell is a single JPIV ...the fuel income..... what else he should have build? Another jagdpanzer? To shot one churchill and take 5-10% of its life at each shot (if penetrate)? Please. Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 -40: miss micro with JPIV GG. I would like to see how good you would micro in that situation. You would probably micro perfectly and turn the tide of the game with a jagdpanzer and a KT against 2 churchills, one comet, 2 ATs and typhoons in the sky isn't it? Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2015, 17:07 PMelchino7 Read above. You should really watch the replay. Did that and the right conclusions are far from your explanations. But I was not expecting you not to support allied even if they had nukes. In: COH2 Balance
