Thread: 1v1 USF improvement6 Oct 2015, 01:47 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 18:27 PMCookiezNcreem DONT Instapick doctrines Dont build a fighting pit so early unless its an aggressive one. Bad engagements at times,With USF,you must realize when you simply cannot win a fight,and GTFO ASAP to minimize bleed and damage. You must also pick your fights decisively,dont go in unless you're bring some force with you and you have a purposeful objective. Otherwise youre just bleeding and hosting a veterancy farm. IF youre gonna place a defensive pit,place it on your cutoff. Nice call and play with the AA HT Nice and interesting unit composition throughout the game There was a pak sitting abandonded in the pink Sakura trees on the left side for the entirety of the game after you cleared it,why you no steal? Was it cursed? Your compositions only weakness is the lack of rock hard anti tank. Bazookas,and a pack howie are SOFT counters to armor,not hard counters. One 57mm would lower the impact of this panzer IV signiifacantly You let his panzer IV do alot more damage than it needed to do. M10 and armor company.,Easy 8 Sherman and rifle,are both better options and doctrine for waht you were trying to do. I love double/triple officer tech gameplay. But airborne isn't the best commander for it. Ping? Good game,you had me on the edge of my seat for a bit but you pulled off dat win. Well played chap When playing USF, how do you pick doctrines to react to opponents? Also, if you're trying the triple officer and not going airborne, what do you use? In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Another bug & balance list6 Oct 2015, 01:40 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 19:38 PMCruzz USF Recon Commander Forward Observation will stop working permanently on a squad as soon as the "leader" model of the squad gets killed while the buff is active. Relic added this bug to their database, but they think it is when the squad loses all of its original models. In testing, I've seen squads lose the ability when one to four models are lost. It seems like it is tied to one specific model, like you said. Also, looking at the vision range, I'm pretty sure that the ability is given only to one model which causes some strange (and not good) effects. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Bulletin's3 Oct 2015, 16:31 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2015, 16:19 PMMoreLess3rd hey guys, im just curious about bulletin stacking, does Armor Bulletin stack? n i Heard that some Bulletin doesn't stack, can u get a list on what bulletin stack n what bulletin doesn't stack Tnx Google is your friend and can answer this question quite well. Almost all bulletins stack, but they're multiplicative. For example, when dealing with USF AT gun or Soviet Guards: pathetic_penetration_value * 1.04 * 1.04 = infitessimally_less_pathetic_penetration_value In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Killing Kingtigers as USF (2v2)3 Oct 2015, 13:18 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2015, 01:03 AMCookiezNcreem Just push it off,you dont have to kill it. Just push it off and grind away at his support when it's pushed off. Every second it spends repairing is a mini victory for you Or just win early,thats seems pretyy easy to do right now This. The worst thing that you can do is to sacrifice a couple of tanks trying to finish off a heavy. I've done that and it usually costs me the game. If the game has gone long, your reward for killing the KT may be that your opponent brings another one out immediately after you kill the first one, then you have to face it with your units that were beat up by the last KT. (I often have this problem, except substitute Crocodile for KT) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Matchmaking bullshit vs Jove3 Oct 2015, 13:06 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Oct 2015, 20:26 PM__deleted__ Hi there, Just found out the Jove I played in automatch was the actual rank 3 Brit player Jove. Now I wouldn't mind playing Jove if I wasn't rank 795 as Ostheer. How did this even happen? I mean how is this fair? Edit: rank 796 Kappa, thanks Relic. I'm ranked 900-1000 as OKW, and ended up stuck playing top 100 players several times. There are a lot of times that fewer than 10 people are looking for 1v1's. If you search long enough, there is a good chance that you'll end up playing someone who is much better than you. It doesn't bother me (but it did result in shattering my delusions of adequacy when I had a six-game winning streak going and ended up auto-matched against Ciez). One way to look at it is that if you save the replay, it is your chance to see what build order and capping order good players use on a particular map. If it really bothers you, you could always try stopping the automatch search every minute (maybe every half minute). It seems like the biggest imbalances occur when you've been searching a long time.

Thread: USF commanders3 Oct 2015, 05:30 AM Having para's drop with bazookas isn't a plus, nor is having to bank 900 mp. I like the idea of having them drop with weapons, but would like the choices to be smg's, 1919's, or 2x scoped 30-06's which give them vision like panzerfusiliers. The vision bug would be nice to have fixed. Also, cannister was overnerfed to complete worthlessness. Either replace it or make it usable. Give the scout car a little better vision. It currently is no better than a standard 222 or Kubel. Lastly, the range on pathfinder arty was shortened so that they have to walk into the range of units like the Panzer Schwerer HQ in order to drop arty. In: COH2 Gameplay

No point of leveling up, or getting different commander, or getting bulletins. You don't get rewarded for winning a game. ... but it still beats the pudding out of losing....... In: Lobby
Thread: Cooldown bulletins- how good are they?1 Oct 2015, 01:06 AM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2015, 06:50 AMelchino7 Did the math. Notes: -I expect the Reload bulletins affecting Reload duration and not Reload frequency. -I made the calculations based on the Gren Kar at mid range. Cooldown modifiers are better at longer range than at close range +3 Accuracy: increases damage by 3% 5% cooldown: increases damage by 1.21% 3% Reload: ... by 0.27% 2% Reload + 2% Cooldown: ... by 0.66% Basically using all 3 bulletins gives you a 5% increase damage. I tested with con's and it seemed like reload with cons was slightly better than cooldown. Did you also crunch the numbers for cons? I tested by attack-moving blobs into each other, and every time that a test was flawed (like models from one squad finding nearby cover), the flaw in the test overwhelmed the difference in the bulletins. My favorite bulletins are the 3% JT penetration bulletin, and the 1% accuracy and 2% cooldown RE bulletin, for equal and opposite reasons. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Current State of Balance29 Sep 2015, 06:15 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Sep 2015, 15:27 PMdasheepeh ISG and Pack Howie are nuts at the moment. Too reliable accuracy and suppression, it often pins as well. The ISG range at vet 1 becomes just ridiculous. It doesnt need the +15 range at all. All churchill tanks still have too much hp, should be brought down to 1280. Panzergrens might need a slight DPS buff. SU76 is currently too good for its cost. Rework Penals, give them a long range profile or just buff their rifles, do something meaningful to them. Give the P4 either a cost reduction or a pen buff. Buff Mech Company and Recon Support Company. Overhaul Soviet Industry. Give Volks slightly better vet bonuses to boost their anti infantry viability in the lategame or just give them an AI upgrade that locks the AT upgrade out. NERF CENTAUR Slightly reduce the cooldown on brace. Buff the M8A1 Scott. Agree In addition, USF - buff the Sherman Bulldozer, main gun was nerfed at some point and doesn't seem to do a lot, should also have more hit points or better armor USF - better received accuracy for assault engineers, 280 mp for a really fragile unit means that you have to pay a lot for a unit that has probably less utility than a 160 mp Ost pioneer. USF- let IR pathfinders drop arty at max vision - they now have to walk into the Panzer Schwerer's range to drop arty on it USF- either give fighting position some hp and smaller hit size, or reduce the cost to the number of seconds that it lasts once a P4 starts shooting at it (8-12). This would really help late game holding ability. Also, make it so grenades don't wipe squad inside fighting position OKW- make upgrade choice between shrek and lmg for Volks(if you have a bad start in 1v1, can be very difficult to get Obers out) OKW- buff Falls (really seem to underwhelm against UKF) OKW- range or something for raketenwerfer - is really annoying to dominate a game then have Croc come out at 30 minute and completely change the game OKW- make smoke available to help with maxim spam In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Forward Observer Bug - for Relic if you're reading this foru29 Sep 2015, 03:59 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 15:33 PMdasheepeh spotting scopes may fit the commander theme but would be overkill with vision rifles, ir pathfinders having great vision and recon run. id rather buff the canister shot to an usable state and do something with the battlegroup also fix vision rifles already No, it wouldn't be overkill. IR pathfinders have, at best, slightly less vision than Panzerfusiliers. They cost 210 mp and 6 pop cap for a unit with no combat abilities. Panzerfusiliers have six models, are difficult to wipe, and only 7 pop cap, all for only 80 more manpower than the IR pathfinders. The "forward observer" gives vision benefits in heavy cover that are about 15 less range than the Panzerfusilier. The armored car has the same sight range as a kubelwagen. Yes, it's a lot more survivable, but it means one more thing to micro in order to use effectively. In short, the "recon company" has less recon ability than either Breakthrough or Scavenge, with nothing like a JT, cheap grenades with no tech cost, scavenge, or flakpanzer IV to make up for it. Not to mention the almost map-hack IR truck, spotting scopes for Ost, etc. It's still fun to play, but mostly against OKW (double pack-howie barrage plus IR arty = goodbye truck) in smaller games. By the way, if anyone watches the replays, you'll see examples of squads losing the forward observer ability without losing all of the squad members. I'm pretty sure that it is given to only one model, and if that one is killed, the ability is gone. In: COH2 Bugs
