Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback2 Apr 2021, 17:53 PM I tested the B4 in a comp-stomp. The changes effectively remove it from the game. The long time between shells means that only the first shot will do anything, since even new players can react faster than 15 seconds. The overall rate of fire seems a lot worse. The decrease in alpha damage make it even more pointless. The AOE was significantly nerfed on this. That will make it much more RNG dependent. If there was anything that this needed, it was to be less RNG dependent. Overall this is a terrible change in the wrong direction. I don't know if the damage to direct fire was also nerfed to 300. If so, it also effectively removes that ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is Mortar HT and LeFH being removed2 Apr 2021, 17:40 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Apr 2021, 17:19 PMZeroZeroNi Then WTF is a priest???? Tunnel vision much It's a mobile howitzer with only 2/3 the range of a normal howitzer, locked in a doctrine that has no brawler tank, nothing with extra sight, or any advanced AT. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback2 Apr 2021, 16:46 PM The pyrotechnics upgrade was removed from Tank Hunter infantry sections a couple of patches ago in a really strange nerf. They're generally less useful than a normal section with the upgrade and piats. They need the increased sight back or they will remain terrible. They probably don't need to be able to call in arty but they definitely need better sight. Without that, they will continue to get trashed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback2 Apr 2021, 16:34 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2021, 15:20 PMNorthWeapon +1 on this I rarely think balance patches require frustrated response but USF I argue is the faction that needs a commander rework the most, so this USF change definitely warrants a frustrated response. USF had a lot of dead commanders for a faction with the least # of commanders. Anyone correct me on this? OKW and Brits have more commanders than USF. These are commanders that either are dead or barely used: Rifle company Heavy cav Armor company Mech assault for team games Recon is mediocre but used here and there Look onto vehicle crews for armor company. And Rifle company should give something to Rifles like how it was originally designed. Not a flare that nobody uses. Something good like smoke grenades or sprint or something. So far this patch looks terrible for USF. It's about as bad as the one a couple of patches ago that nerfed UKF into the dumpster. The dozer blade has been removed from Reserve Armor due to the effectiveness of the 76mm Sherman. WTF - they are going to nerf one unit because a different one is too good? First of all, it's been weeks since I've seen anyone get 76mm Shermans, and that person did terrible in the game. It doesn't have good AI, and at best it trades roughly equal to the OKW PIV. Nobody ever confuses it with a Panther. Lastly, USF needs more access to a brawler tank, not less. The Easy 8 buff won't do much to make the commander more viable. It still has microscopic AOE for the main gun. For a commander update, this doesn't really do anything for USF. Both axis factions have non-doc access to a good brawler tank and rocket arty. USF has neither, and often has to make defensive choices for their commanders. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: My respond to the accusations1 Apr 2021, 05:29 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Mar 2021, 13:26 PMLatch But FOW doesnt hide sound or trees crushing etc, amount of times I have hit a repairing vehicle through FOW because I can hear it is uncountable. I know what you are refering to though, just making it clear so that people that don'nt know about this might see everyone as a cheater for FOW 'snooping'. I think most players do this, but there were no allegations of cheating that I remember for something like this. Also, the camera movement is different because you're moving it trying to hear the sound of the vehicle stopping. In: Lobby

Thread: My respond to the accusations31 Mar 2021, 01:55 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Mar 2021, 01:06 AMRosbone But has it really been served? Relic has not disclosed why they banned Seeking. May have nothing to do with any of the previous evidence/videos. For all we know he was running some app that they flagged as hacking like CheatEngine or something that may not be a cheat/hack at all for Coh2. I for one would like to see lists of people banned and what they were banned for. It fosters more reports. Right now you play with some toxic ass hat. Spend 2 hours putting together evidence and emailing it away. Never to be heard from again. Did the person get banned??? Why would I go thru all this effort the next time if I dont even know Relic is reading it. Companies don't normally let people know why they were banned. It always seemed odd that there was any info available on COH2 bans. If it was some type of hack they don't usually want to say anything because that gives information to the hackers that can help them develop their next hack. I do understand the frustration. I'm pretty sure I get drop-hacked 1-2 times a week. I don't bother turning in reports because I doubt they have a good way to detect drop hacks. In: Lobby
Thread: WE want Company of Heroes 3 !!! With Empire of Japan30 Mar 2021, 00:17 AM Sorry, voted no on both. I want COH3 and will buy it if Relic makes it. It won't really be able to scale to mixed land/sea. Japan didn't really have much for tanks so it would be hard to incorporate them into a COH2-style game with any sort of realism. In: Lobby
Thread: Commanders Exploit/bug27 Mar 2021, 15:34 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2021, 07:32 AMmaaa1939 There is an exploit/bug with the commanders that let the players manipulate the commanders, thus using the other faction commanders in-game. Now we reached another level of this chaos. ...... Thanks I had this happen as a bug to me in this patch, but left the game instead of playing it. I play with a group of 3 that is usually ranked around 100 so getting even a time ban would suck. If you think cheating has become endemic, try to find a group of 4 and get to a decent rank. Even at our modest rank, we do not run into a lot of people who are obviously cheating. You'll also end up in fewer games where your teammate builds 3 Katy's. In: COH2 Gameplay
