Thread: Let's Talk: ISG Performance19 Jul 2016, 03:37 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2016, 00:29 AMmiragefla Today I'm going to talk about the ISG for OKW. Currently the ISG is in my opinion, terrible unit with its current purpose mainly being to blast British emplacements from a safe distance and be an annoyance that can generally be overlooked. Furthermore it requires a specific tier structure to get access to in a tier that has major issues clearing structures and dealing with entrenched infantry and forces Volks or other infantry to do the heavy lifting. ...... I watched the VonIvan vs Barton replay. Barton's 2 ISG's killed 91 models in a 1v1. That really needs a buff? I agree that it doesn't counter SimCity very well, but who builds these to counter SimCity anyway? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cookiez:- EffenNewbie18 Jul 2016, 20:01 PM Thanks for the help yesterday. I only got in a couple of 2v2's and they were not worth reviewing. I'll try to get some in tonight. The group selection that you showed me has been helping a lot. In: Mentoring
Thread: Ninja buff to P47?14 Jul 2016, 04:44 AM It might have been RNG, but the last two times I used the P47 it actually hit stuff - maybe not as good as the Stuka loiter but not completely worthless. Anyone else see this? In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Cookiez:- EffenNewbie14 Jul 2016, 01:05 AM Hi, weekends sound good, I usually have a couple hours in the morning when I can play and don't get interrupted and can arrange other times. I'll primarily post replays where I thought I was playing okay but it didn't go well. I watch livestreams occasionally and sometimes have questions about what I see. I also have questions about commander choices both at arranged team and random. I'll get a concise list and ask them on TS when it's convenient for you. Thanks In: Mentoring
Thread: Why don't more girls play RTS games?13 Jul 2016, 02:38 AM There's a lot of interesting comments on this. First of all, I didn't realize that consoles were a gateway drug. Second, My daughter won't play it. I've never pushed any type of stereotype on her so I don't think stereotypes are a reason. I asked my daughter why she doesn't play. Her answers were: "It's boring. All you do is move little men around. You don't have any inventory or pets like a Ranger." She really likes Guild Wars 2 and is probably better at it than I am. I'm pretty sure there isn't a competitive problem either. In: News

It proves you haven't played enough games as Ost. Did you really expect to have the same ranking after your first 22 games as Ost that you did after nearly 1.2k games as USF. In: COH2 Balance

Rifles with vet early on, into M20 and fast shermans. That was back when bulletins stacked, so 3x 10% vet meant that a lot of rifles arrived at vet 2. It badly needed nerfing. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Next patch opinions2 Jul 2016, 00:00 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2016, 22:39 PMskemshead If trenches could be used by everyone then you have to give some thought to where you place them and if you over extend your decision bites you in the arse. Its core coh2 doctrine. But not anymore because the game has to be retard friendly. Don't want anyones feelings to get hurt because they can't master coh. Seriously, just fucking hell. So much of what relic does is just short sighted and poorly thought out. Usf morter anyone. No one wanted a morter except retards that basically want everything ( but thats another thread ). And no one wanted a rapid fire morter where the second shell fires before the first one lands. And no one wanted more indirect fire before gren wiping was fixed. Trenches should be neutral. They should either be like the Ostruppen doctrine trenches if free or directional trenches if not free. If a player is paying for trenches then one of the following should apply: Trenches give green cover from one side and but just yellow cover from the other side (there are some maps with this already) Trenches give them green cover from both sides but don't allow units to fire out the other side. Also, trenches should be able to be destroyed using the COH1 mechanic of de-capping Someone made a Competitive Mod (or something like that). I like how the tiers in that are organized much better than the regular game. The All Units mod is also pretty good. In short, it would be better if the core units are all competitive and the commanders just add a different flavor to the play. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic. What is counter part for Brit arty cover?28 Jun 2016, 13:50 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2016, 12:08 PMsome one To remove some ambiguous assumptions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCSucXc4zXM vs Recon I can use Ostwind for example. but What is counter part for Brit arty cover? ps Its old one but still ability is incrediably powerfull better than STUKA CAS Read the patch notes about the nerf to arty cover. Arty cover was greatly nerfed several patches ago. IIRC, it doesn't trigger unless the Brit player has armor in the area and it doesn't do a lot of damage to armor now. There isn't really a counter so either concentrate on their armor or retreat from the area. Stuka CAS is much better because the planes arrive faster. Slower vehicles often get destroyed before they can get out of the area. In: COH2 Balance
