Thread: Flamethrowers - Deathcrit and how much value it adds31 Oct 2014, 14:26 PM Agree, im sick of purchasing the flamethrower just to see it getting blown up 2 seconds after, it's dumb. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 Overnerfed30 Oct 2014, 02:19 AM Well boys, there's nothing to see anymore, we can all go home now ISU-152 Similar to the Jagdtiger, we felt the manual fire on the ISU-152 failed to address the pressing issues raised by the community. Although it made the unit more micro intensive, it did not change the unit’s capacity to wipe full health units or change the fact that it could effectively engage both armor and infantry. We believe these two factored combined with its range make the unit too effective; thereby limiting viable strategies within the game. We are currently evaluating other methods that will better balance this unit’s functionality and performance. http://community.companyofheroes.com/forum/company-of-heroes-2/company-of-heroes-2-general-discussion/67-coh-2-changelog/page4 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let me clear up some things about Relic and AA25 Oct 2014, 15:00 PM Relic will deserve respect again when they will do their job professionally instead of basing on "our feels for people", the bug fixes that are coming should have been out a week after the game came out, not an year later. That said, CoH2 is absolutely subpar compared to any other product from relic (and I've been playing them all since HW2), between DLCs,P2W, half-assed campaigns, and now a single player campaign that should have come out with WFA and priced at 30€, not only that, but recently relic (and this isn't a marketing decision or move from high-ups so the relic team is entirely to blame) has patched DoW2 to work with battleservers, creating a myriad of non-balance related but gamebreaking bugs that more than a month after haven't been fixed, and still nobody asked them to implement battleservers for that game. I hope for the best for relic and their games as I love them, but recently they have only been disappointing. In: Lobby

Thread: Matchmaking Hates Players Who Switch Factions14 Oct 2014, 14:07 PM Yeah I would be interested in knowing how the matchmaking makes it's calculations, placement matches or not, I have barely 200 hours in this game, and though Im not new to relic RTSs (but Im new to the CoH franchise) my random mates 2v2 ranks are abit ridicolous for just 10 games played. http://www.coh2.org/ladders/playercard/steamid/76561198015813761 It's also quite frustrating to be a new player (talking with like 10 hours in) and face top 20 players in all game modes.

Thread: Ostheer vs Rifle company5 Sep 2014, 20:34 PM Thanks for the reply. Oh yes, an ostwin is certainly good,amazing vs USF, but I feel like it doesn't have enough of an impact because he has AT nades, the captain and possibly an AT gun and then in that case he would get out an easy 8 much before I get a P4 and in that case I would be largely defendless with only paks and AT guns left. The pak43? Could be a good idea, but Im not sure if it can work in 1v1 and he could still use white phosphoru to smoke it and with a little follow up kill it's crew. I guess I'll try to get a quick ostwind and then see what happens. I also like to use G43s against USF, but I've recently started using the mechanized assault doc, Im really liking assault grenadiers to protect MGs when they get smoked and to rush up rifles, I do have the elite troops doc aswell as lighting war, I just don't see the tiger ace to be that effective, I mean it's kind of scary to lose it considering it completely drains out your resourcers and the standard tiger doesn't seem to perform that well, both when I use it and when I play against it( in 1v1s and 2s I've never had a problem dealing with a tiger as either soviets or USF with standard docs). I guess I could try to spearhead with it a build a wall of paks and MGs behind it though. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Ostheer vs Rifle company5 Sep 2014, 18:42 PM May it be 1v1 or 2v2, I find this doc to be extremely bullshit. You start with an early game that's already disastrous for the ostheer and it's only made worse by veteran riflemen. Then as the game progresses he's free to get both the lieutant for even better anti infantry and the captain for soft AV and skip the major into Ez8 spam that absolutely trashes P4s,infantry and packs alike, I've even tried using panthers, they get equally annihilated by Ez8s. So I'd like to know what you guys do against this, because even at a conceptual level I can't find a way out, ultra good early, good mid game and then even better late game, Im still quite a noob, no doubt about that but again, I just can't find a way out. Im sorry if I sound frustrated, because that's how I feel at the moment. P.S: 1v1 replays/casts very welcome. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Are Grenadiers or Panzer Grens the main infantry unit?12 Aug 2014, 22:08 PM I find Pgrens to be great for counter initiation, I think every german player seen riflemen or shock troopers rushing their grens, so keep the Pgrens behind or with your grens and the soviet/usf player will be in for a surprise. Also their grenade is great, yes it does cost quite abit, but it seems to do alot of damage to units in buildings. In: Ostheer Strategies
