Battering ram is a stupid ability, to move a ram for veterancy is even more stupid ability. This decision does not improve the T-34, but simply ... breaks it. Who the hell came up with this solution? This is a nomination for the most ingenious idea of the year. T-34-76 and T-34-85 are long overdue for a change in veterancy and ability. But instead, let's just forget about it and pretend that we fixed something.
The Russians did, back sometime around 1942. Speaking of which, if ram is going to be a vet 1 ability, could it be made to act more like the historical event? It would be interesting if the ram had a chance to immobilize both vehicles or turret lock both (when the T34 climbs part way up the other vehicle). It could make for some interesting play/counterplay. Those abilities would have to be limited to Panther's and below. Any larger target should just have a chance to stun. |
As USF I would get a similar issue to Array's when trying to place a fighting position. The ghost image would only display on valid areas to place it. Over invalid places (ie blocked or enemy terrain) I would just see a normal mouse cursor instead of the red ghosted image. It makes it hard to tell that you have correctly select the button to place the structure.
I have the same problem trying to build base buildings as Soviet (might happen to other factions also). The outline only shows up if the cursor is in a location where the building can be built. If it can't, it the outline disappears completely.
Other than that, it looked good to me. I set up a couple comp stomps and let computers battle while doing other stuff. It ran through a couple hours with three games without crashing, and I wasn't rebooting between games. The frame rate drop didn't seem as bad so it looks like it will be a great update. |
10 games in a row. Cannot win as Axis you've broken it for good in Random 3v3 and 4v4. ALLIES RULE...YOU WIN THNANKS RELIC
Your win % is around 50% for Axis and 33% for Allies. Statistically speaking, you would likely have your first Allied 10-game losing streak by playing about 100 games. You wouldn't have to play 1762 games (you current count for OH) in order to make the mirrored balance thread that 3v3 and 4v4 is "brokem" for Allies. This would make an interesting Monte Carlo simulation. Good luck with your balance thread. |
does gsync or freesync even work for coh2? for me its always terrible flickering
Do you get flickering only when you enable freesync or gsync? |
Don't listen to what the above have said, let's be realistic. There are huge advantages to be able to drive a higher frame rate especially with a higher hz rate monitor.
The key is being able to match a stable FPS with a locked hertz rate on your monitor.
Graphics are unimportant, having a higher FPS is king.
Work out your average FPS, lock it using a program such as rivatuner and enjoy the advantages you get as a result. Obviously, FPS games will get the greatest advantage but having a stable FPS on even a RTS is a huge advantage.
Your best bet is too google battle nonsense, watch his youtube videos. Man is smarter than all of us and has some amazing videos that will benefit almost all of you.
Thanks for the tip about battle nonsense. I watched a couple of his videos. One of his confirmed something that I thought I was seeing, which is that VSYNC seemed to make things more sluggish. I'd turned it off on all my games and just use frame limiters whenever possible.
I really liked the video below:

I played a ton of BF2. It was great for playing with friends as a squad. The new Battlefields feel more like Counterstrike than Battlefield. BFBC2 was also pretty good. I would have bought a BFBC3 had they made it. Battle nonsense is spot on in his criticism of BF4.
I do think Blackdream's and Cyanara's comments were helpful in regards to COH. I just went through a hardware update and it didn't change COH2's very much.

If I could find a my Ultrasharp with a 144 refresh rate, I'd get it in a minute. When I had a 27", it sometimes seemed too big because my monitor sits only 75 cm away from me. I did try a 24" Acer Nitro with a 144HZ VA panel. I hated it and boxed it back up after a couple hours. After getting used to the laser-sharp text of my Dell, it's hard to go to something else.
One of my friends has the same Asus and really likes it. It was him that suggested I try something faster. Your Asus isn't available anymore, but the one below seems to be the same.

Hello everyone!
Players from all modes except 4x4, please tell me what tips have improved your game to high ranks.
For example, I understood the main difference between a noob and a pro is that
1) Pro uses hot keys.
2) Pro does not forget his units at the base, after reinforcement. (This remains my problem)
3) Timing.
4) Using tactical map (But DevM, HelpingHans and Stalker dont use it, therefore is not reason)
5) Pro play for all factions (its also my problem, because i dont like sov and ost, very boring gameplay)
What moment gives the biggest boost in skill? In the beginning, for me it was the using hotkeys. And what was for you?
I'm 2+ decades removed from being a high-ranked player in any game or mode but would add a few things to what other's have said.
1) Pick your engagements. You should be able to tell almost immediately if you're going to win a battle. Don't stay in one that you're going to lose unless you're keeping you opponent tied up to accomplish something else.
2) Don't try to fight in more places than your micro will allow. Trying to fight in more places than you can manage will just lead to squad wipes, and squad wipes cost games.
3) Always know your retreat path. My random 4v4 rank is stuck in purgatory. I see lots of "clever" flanks that lead to rage quits, because someone thought it would be a good idea to go down the extreme outside of a map, attack from behine, then lose their squads on retreat because they are retreating through the entirety of the opposing army. There are some maps that when you go just slightly too far, you retreat path will be sideways in front of the other team for a long ways so retreating units usually get wiped. |
USA may have paid for 50 000 shermans, but they surely didn't produce that many. Neither there was a need for that many in europe, nor in pacific. This figure was probably written in the reports just to scare soviet army that was much stronger than allied forces in europe by the end of war.
I'd bet that the commonly quoted 49k is pretty accurate. Not only were they widespread in the US forces, we gave or sold them to our allies by the thousands. I watched once documentary on one of the Canadian's worst single-day defeats. They lost something like 400 Shermans when they tried attacking across a large stretch of open ground into a bunch of 88's. It didn't matter. The Canadians changed tactics and overran the Germans a few days later with the other 300 Shermans.
Ullumu's numbers look correct. As for the Sherman question, remember that the production was ramping up, so it wouldn't be surprising if tens of thousand's of Sherman's hadn't made it across the Atlantic at the end of the war. There was probably something like 15k Shermans lost in Europe. Also, some of the Shermans went to the Pacific theater.

Thanks, I was somewhat doubting it would make a difference with COH. My framerates currently start out around 100 if I don't have a framerate limiter on, but usually drift down to 40-50 by the end of a match. I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2518D which has a really nice picture and have had great luck with Dell monitors over the decades. I'm a little hesitant to try something else. Dell doesn't have much in the way of fast IPS panels so I'd have to look at an Asus, Acer or LG.
I bought a new video card recently but haven't noticed much of a framerate difference between my old 1060 and my new 2060 so I'm guessing that I'm CPU-limited, which is a little annoying given that I also just got a Ryzen 7 3800x.
I occasionally play BF4. The monitor seems fine if I'm trying to snipe but fighting close to people never goes well, and I'm not sure how much is the monitor and how much is just me being old.
Do you use a 24" or 27"? I've used both but sometimes think the 24 is better. (The U2518 is technically a 25", but is a lot closer to a 24" than a 27") |

Pretty sure that the admins can't say why. Throw dirt all of the time and eventually they probably just get tired of having to invis your posts, or possibly you step over one of the lines that you shouldn't cross. |
