Strafe see to be a bit late and it could become closer to Ostheer strafe
In the recent patch: Soviet Mechanized Support and Shock Motor Commanders
• IL-2 Bombing Runs exchanged for IL-2 Sturmovik Attack Strafe from the Advanced Warfare Commander
Last update on the ability on 20th of Dec 2017:
Also a dmg nerf to prevent it from being able to wipe anything. But then again, what does the Axis call-in artillery do? Wipe complete positions, if I remember correctly. This IL-2 strafe is underperforming horribly!
The IL-2 Sturmovik abilities need tweaking. The single strafe run from Advanced Warfare seems to be completely underpowered and useless, needs a substantial buff to damage and/or suppression.
The loitering Sturmovik is, if I recall correctly, right now at a dmg of 3, it got nerfed in 2018 from 5 to 3. I frequently play the Shock Motor Commander (his IL2 bombing got switched with IL2 sturmovik) and from what I observe, the ability rarely gets more than 1-2 models, even if the enemy does not even bother to remove his infantry blobs from the loitering area. The damage seems to be very inconsistent too. Once, I could observe an immediate 4-models-kill, but in like 95% of the time it does almost nothing. It costs a bunch of ammunition after all, so it should be similar in usefullness compared to other factions bombing/off-map plane attack abilities.
My suggestion if you want to really improve rather than look at who you can blame on your loss, is that you ignore the stats graph. It's FUBAR. Just watch your replay.
Just to clarify, I did not blame anyone for my loss here. I was just curious since the graph looked odd. I stated clearly myself, that there was nothing suspicious going on after watching the replay and that we lost because of worse play. Go easy.
Also, what has your post to do with the content that you quoted?
It should, yes, but fixing it would likely require an AI be added to each team to control the base defences. It's not really worth the effort, I'm afraid.
Or you could just make a copy of the flak class and make a base flak class that is not counted as a unit.
If it is to tone down my harsh critique of the other allied player, feel free to! My bro and I are incredible noobs and are eager to learn. Appreciate any advice (even though it's already getting better).
For some reason however, the matchups in allied 2-players matchmaking (for 2v2,3v3,4v4) seem A LOT harder than when I solo-queue (there were incredibly easy games in the past few encounters but I am still below 10 games so that could be due to placement issues).
If you have not started another game afterwards, the replay will still be in your system under 'temp'. 'Last played game' is still saved in your past replays automatically, in the game replays as a temporary file. The next game will overwrite the existing temp file. You can still view it in-game, but sounds like you'll want to keep the replay.
To save it properly, you'll need to make a copy:
Example file path (depends on your system and settings):
C:\Users\[Username]\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2\playback
Copy & Paste the temp replay and make a copy with a different name.
Thank you, that helped! The replay was still in "temp". I looked it up and there was nothing suspicious in it. Our mate just got outplayed horribly in the first engagements and never managed to take back any points or win any engagements, so that was just well played from the OKW guy (or bad from our dude). Anyways, case closed! Thanks guys.
I am aware of the option to save the replay, however I failed to save this particular one because I assumed some kind of display bug. Stupid me, should have saved it right then and there! I guess it is not possible to save it now anymore?
I have never heard of the possibility to hack something like this. All I know of is cheesy sync-error tactics that apparently some people use.
can you explain this to me? It looks like one of the opposing OKW players started with a very high army value. How is this possible? Is it a display bug? Our team mate, who was positioned opposite of that OKW player, soon quit the game and so we quickly lost. I´ll appreciate any tips or help here! :-)
Best regards
