Thread: M36 Jackson5 Aug 2016, 04:57 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2016, 23:40 PMDangerous-Cloth What do you guys think about the new Jackson? It has been long since I felt that a unit is in such a good place. The Jackson feels solid and very potent without feeling like it overperforms. It is still a fragile unit, but it can now finally perform its intended role. I personally am in love with the new Jackson. M36 really good now, doesn't need any buffs or nerfs, so are all Sherman variants except bulldozer. In: Lobby
Thread: Penalties for abusive /quit .4 Aug 2016, 01:37 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2016, 03:30 AMeasierwithaturret I sympathise in that I too often have to deal with an unreliable connection. As annoying as it is to get dropouts I don't feel as if a system that made it harder to access ranked team matches during times of instability is infringing my rights. I know every time I drop out it is spoiling the game for the other 3-7 players. I feel pretty stupid here, what is this reconnect feature you mention? The game client tries to reconnect when it disconnects. Your units stop, the game freezes, and you get a status update on the left. Depending on what is happening, you can end up losing the game anyway even with a reconnect. On a reconnect, your client moves in turbo mode until everything is caught up. In: COH2 Gameplay

It adds a little lag, but it is nothing compared to relic server ping. Most importantly it is much cheaper than whooping 75$ and is super stable - as stable as your phone. If you just need connection for gaming, so you don't need good speed, you can also try ADSL. I tried using a tethered Sprint LTE connection. I didn't have any drops but the lag made it unplayable. I had a really hard time dodging grenades. I would try ADSL but think I would go over their data cap. I might try tethering my AT&T phone and see if that works better than Sprint. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Penalties for abusive /quit .3 Aug 2016, 02:57 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2016, 20:59 PMferwiner People should use stable computers and internet connections either way for their own good. By your logic we could also implement additional lag, just becouse some people are disadvantaged by playing on wireless connections that skyrocket their ping. Some of us don't have a choice. At my home, I have a choice of Comcast or Comcast. It's craptastic. It isn't likely to change as Comcast regularly gives "dollars of free speech" to our elected officials so that there is very little chance of anything changing. I get to pay about $75/month for a connection that drops me from games completely roughly 5-10% of the time. The game servers do have a reconnect feature that does work. I get probably 2-3 times as many reconnects as I do drops. The problem is that everything keeps playing while I'm waiting to reconnect so I often lose units while it reconnects. If I had a wish list for COH3, it would be that the servers were more fault-tolerant. This is the only online game I have that has this level of disconnects. SC2, WC3, GW2 all disconnect much less often. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF mortar and OKW mg30 Jul 2016, 01:05 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2016, 23:49 PMAntilles950 2 basic things I think could be a positive change: 1. USF mortar should be moved to lieutenant tier. This solves 2 problems: a. The pak howitzer is irrelevant right now. With this change, your indirect choice comes off tech. b. The USF mortar is a little too effective early on; usually, rifles are sufficient to deal with 1 or 2 mgs. MGs become more of a problem later one when it can get really hard to break them, and this allows USF to still have access to the mortar to deal with it down the line. 2. The OKW mg needs to not require teching. There's a problem right now with the OKW mg in that it takes way too much time to hit the field. It's greatest value, in combating early game blobs and helping secure some early territory, can't happen because it isn't hitting the field till light vehicles do. thoughts? So you want to remove the only way that USF has of dealing with garrisoned MG's in the early game (without critically delaying tech), and turn around and give the other axis faction a MG so they can garrison also....

Thread: Sleeper unit: USF Mortar HT26 Jul 2016, 02:48 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2016, 04:57 AMelchino7 Since i couldn't find the stats for the USF MHT, i realized something fishy. Look at this: http://stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=m1_81mm_mortar_squad_mp http://stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=m21_mortar_halftrack_squad_mp They have the same weapons listed. Does this mean that USF MHT is also broken OP ATM ? (At least it doesn't get double stack of scatter through vet...) I tested the two in a comp stomp. The mortars seem very similar but the infantry version vets up faster per kill. The kill numbers were pretty close until the infantry mortar hit vet 3 first, then it left the mht behind.

Thread: Wada vs Price - The day of sniping23 Jul 2016, 01:55 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2016, 16:51 PMJaedrik Wada's rage seems healthy to me. Particularly because he doesn't direct it /at/ people really. He just gets mad at the game. Also, better that he direct it at inane things and laugh later at his silliness than direct that anger AT PEOPLE. It's good to have an outlet (because it'll have to go somewhere), though we should strive for peace whenever possible. ...or maybe it was more show than genuine raging, and accomplished his goal of getting a lot of people to watch his stream.
