Making them not free's been ruled out by Relic, but I quite like the idea of diversing them like this.
Do you know this for a fact or are you speculating? Also, if we're stuck with the current structure then they should change the cost to 280/25 or the powerspike will continue to cause a problem. |
I watched it because I wanted to see Sully and Stark's build order (who obviously still play USF this patch). After your build order of MG, MG, the smartest thing I saw from you was the 11 minute surrender, because 500-180 at 11 minutes >>>> 500-0 at 14. |
This is a good suggestions. It would be interesting if all heavy tanks were made buildable at each factions "final tech" level/building when the current conditions were met (enough points, pre-req up, etc.). It would give the balance team the ability to adjust build times on individual heavies, and it should be possible to do; the T34-85 already uses this method, just with a 0-point requirement, rather than the 9-14 of heavies.
Maybe make them buildable at the HQ like Aerafield is suggesting, but having them start on cooldown like Sky suggested.
It would be nice to have a larger window for mediums. It seems weird that my first armor is often either an IS2 or Tiger. |
Cuz it is well known no one build an ambulance and unlock bar or grenade.
You also have to give up either MG's or AT guns. |
Their current AI strength doesn't make them worth 280 MP either.
Overall UKF is garbage after patch, feels almost like they didn't just soft-remove the Bofors but the entire faction. They are just not good enough anymore.
As you said playing against Ostheer now is insanely hard. You can't counter MGs, you can't counter PGrens and none of your tanks is better than the Ost variants. No matter if it's Centaur and Ostwind, Cromwell and P4, Comet and Panther or the Churchill variants and Tiger. On top of that UKF still has no non-doctrinal mortar, no flame thrower, no rocket arty and the highest costs for upgrading their infantry due to the 35 fuel you have to invest for bolster.
And playing vs OKW isn't much better either because you can't deal with the Falls and Obers whatsoever.
I'm a little surprised to see you say this. My two teammates who normally play Brits have said almost the exact same thing about UKF. The only additional thing they would add is that Brits have no counter to the double LEIG plus IR halftrack, short of a Sexton but game is likely out of hand by then. Sections don't last very long, even in cover, before they have to retreat or be wiped by the LEIG. |
You know they have other units that can minesweep besides an Ostwind, right? |
Yes, agree. That's exactly what i mean with tiger. Anyway, ml-20 at vet 1, has something like double reload cause of bugged cooldown, it drops at 1% and it stops. Need a lot of time to take out that 1% cooldown.
I've had this happen on a ML20 a couple of times. I haven't noticed it on the LEFH, but haven't used LEFH much since the patch.
In a match yesterday, two users of the M4 76 said that trying to use HVAP caused their turret to lock or not fire. I think it was karma for buying those when playing Red Ball. |
Wasn't everyone complaining about Rifle spam before the rework? Now three rifle opening is being suggested again under the guise of it not being special snowflake in a game around A-symmetrical balance?
I thought the problem was just the timing resulting in a power spike?
No, the bigger problem is that the officer tier costs 200/35, but gives you an additional squad, so in some ways getting the tech gives you an extra 80 manpower. |
Check to see if your settings on your .org profile for steam are set to "public".
Thanks, they were set to private. |
IDK i just see a broken img
That's strange. When I click on the second icon pulls up my playercard.
I never question the quality of someone's playercard. My rankings aren't good. But the information in the player card does tell a lot. If it's 90% one side or the other then it tells you something. I could see starting a thread like this one if I was playing a lot of OST and struggling with USF in ranked games, but starting one like this with no ranked games seems strange.
Here's the actual link:

BTW - Unless there is another Stug Life playing COH, we've played each other a couple times. You were playing UKF a couple days ago. I still have your vickers
