Thread: UI enhancement proposition.5 Sep 2014, 03:31 AM theres a lot of other stuff they could add to the shields for instance, for weapon crews you cant tell if the crew is moving or if it is set up and ready to shoot by glancing at the icon. Whenever i work with weapon crews i always have to double click on them and see what theyre doing before i decide what i might do with them. in another post i also recomended having a third row of shields for non-combatant vehicles like the IR halftrack, ambulences, and HQ trucks.

Thread: Penalty for losing the soviet sniper aid? 5 Sep 2014, 01:01 AM i dont know why people talk about 90 manpower like its nothing. 90 manpower is a LOT for a single infantry soldier. espeically since it doesnt really fight, all he does is breath and retreat to preserve veterency of a unit that has declining usefulness as the game progresses.

Thread: Howis should/could cost ammo?5 Sep 2014, 00:58 AM i overall like arty how it is. btw you can choose how concentrated your arty is by how far your arty is from the target. The option for choosing different "concentrations" not linked to range would be kind of pointless as people almost always want the most concentrated arty available. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Additional MP game modes? 4 Sep 2014, 01:54 AM a sharing units thing would be sort of cool, though itd lead to a lot of bickering as one guy would be in charge of building units and the other guy would be in charge of complaining that the first guy isnt building the right ones and then rage quiting.

Thread: Marketeconomy in Coh2 and other rts3 Sep 2014, 19:30 PM it wouldnt really improve balance IMO. itd just kind of cycle between different "best" units. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Snipers Squad are not fun3 Sep 2014, 06:12 AM look at the replay. OKW had 5 volksgren with shreks. that was his whole army until 25 minutes in. soviets could have brought infantry at pure random and it would have still been atleast an ok counter. there wasnt even any major moves on the snipers in the whole replay. theres nothing to even analyze and say "oh here the sniper should have died but he got away" it was just "ok im sending in volksgren with rockets... and now theyre getting sniped" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Snipers Squad are not fun3 Sep 2014, 03:46 AM there was never a counter to the puma on the field, i saw 1 at gun the whole game. Puma could have done a lot for the axis team... espeically since the entire okw roster was anti tank units. If an isu came in to the field they would have had the situation under control. also you should look at the float on the okw guy, he didnt even activate the conversion of munitions to fuel, and he bought his jadjpanther way late. there was easily the needed 70 fuel available. he just kept making volksgren with shreks so the soviet guy was like ok ill keep making snipers.

Thread: Soviet Snipers Squad are not fun3 Sep 2014, 02:25 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2014, 00:24 AMDr.destynova Soviet sniper team balance issue is antiquated matter and relic never react for it. This soviet sniper issue were silenced after release of WFA. Because OB-West infantry support gun was quite good for it. But after nerf of support gun, this sniper balance issue is rear it's head. I've attached replay a match between the highest team rankers. Axis dominated early-mid infantry phase but by soviet sniper team are spammed, the game was unnecessarily draggled. http://www.coh2.org/replay/23491/2v2-road-to-kharkov/page/1#post_id209923 Soviet got various anti counter measures for counter sniper unit. Which mean there are no practical counters for soviet sniper team. Many people saying about higher fire rate of ostheer sniper. But difficult to say advantage. Both snipers getting different amount of exp. Soviet sniper team even can vet up with 10 kills by axis combinate elite infantry. In contrast Ostheer sniper barely vet up with 20 kills. Though coh2 have not long history, it proved that survivality guarantees much more benefit than attack rate. Flanking maneuvers, unit combination, little bit slower game tempo than other RTS game. All these are virtue of COH game. And spam style of soviet risks these factors so much. Especially sniper team and maxim..... sigh.... fuckin sick of talk about it. this is what i kind of saw in that replay: axis spammed infantry, okw only bought volksgren with panzershreks for the most part (no idea why he kept buying the shreks, there were no vehicles). ostheer bought a wider mix but it was all infantry. no vehicles at all came in to play until 15 minutes (1 panzer came out). okw didnt buy any vehicles until 25 minutes (he floated to get the jadjpanther). Allies bassically brought what the smart thing was to bring. Mgs and snipers. These are hard counters to what the axis team was packing. Imagine if instead of going for the long float if the okw guy instead bought a puma. You guys could have secured victory in the first 10-15 minutes of the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Abandon vehicle occurring more often? 2 Sep 2014, 23:56 PM given that the usf player doesnt have very good tanks, i think that ought to atleast be somewhat balanced by a slightly increased level of survivability when it comes to mines. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet Snipers Squad are not fun2 Sep 2014, 23:47 PM given that the ostheer have better tanks, why shouldnt the soviets have better infantry? In: COH2 Balance
