Thread: Relic, the Community, and the NDA7 May 2015, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2015, 18:12 PMQueenRatchet123 NDA is here for a reason Alpha testers should get consequences for leaking As for other community members, If they get NDA information it would be responsible to keep it to themselves. Then again, it doest matter to me as long as u are not an alpha "tester". I use that title lightly, alot of idiots got into the alpha. You need idiots to help test things. Ever heard of the phrase "idiot proofing"? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturm Tiger7 May 2015, 18:55 PM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2015, 18:51 PMQueenRatchet123 The REASON the Sturmtiger isnt used very often s because its a gimmick. Y get one when u can get a panther? Stuka does its job better anyway baby sit a sturmtiger? u joking? Fire it. retreat, reload. Very simple It's not gimmicky at all. It can 1 shot most medium armor, give tanks permanent engine damage, turn entire blobs to ash, fire through shot blockers. The Panther isn't always the answer, I recently had a game were the Sturmtiger preformed excellent and helped us win the game, something that any other tank wouldn't have been able to do. You do need to baby sit a Sturmtiger, it's slow so you need to predict enemy pushes, it's easy to pen which means you need to figure out if you can kill his AT before he does to much damage to you. You need to ensure it retreats to a safe position to reload and protect it. You need to go through more steps to get it to preform then you do with any other unit in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturm Tiger7 May 2015, 18:39 PM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2015, 18:28 PMQueenRatchet123 Make USF easier to play by giving them a heavy tank Other than that, to the players that lack good micro, i suggest they learn how to play This would be a valid argument if USF was the least played faction by a large margin, but the Sturmtiger is unique in that it's a good unit but very, very few people use it because of how you need to baby sit it.

Thread: Sturm Tiger7 May 2015, 18:23 PM Giving it a tad bit more armor or mobility would go a long way towards making it more friendly for players who lack good micro. Right now it's very easy to pen with pretty much any part of the allied arsenal. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturm Tiger7 May 2015, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2015, 08:13 AMDakkaIsMagic Its fine the way it is. You just need to either support it, or use it to support you, you can't expect it to move in and change a battle on its own. That the thing, it changes battles entirely on it's own. It can 1 shot medium tanks, wipe out entire blobs, it instantly kills support weapons. The problem with the Sturmtiger is that the micro required to use it is very high; making it unattractive. The fact it's the least built unit in the game by a fairly significant margin is pretty telling. And it's funny because it is an excellent unit, but just pretty much unviable for the average player.

Thread: How to deal with rifle nades7 May 2015, 17:25 PM Make sure to always have sound on so you can hear your unit shout out about the incoming grenade. Typically when facing a good opponent they will always aim the grenade shot slightly behind you as often time players just run backwards when they hear a grenade incoming so make sure to move left or right instead of backwards. If you have multiple squads stacked near each other try to spread them out in a line, so you know which one is in range to get naded instead of having to guess which one is going to get shot at.

Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?6 May 2015, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2015, 22:46 PMZombiFrancis Except functionally, spamming REs or CEngineers is not a good idea except for the express purpose of trying to repair. Sturmpioneers have rather strong combat function outside of repairing KTs. Uh, 2 RE's is very useful and multiple CE's are as well. You need both in order to keep up good field presence and CE's let you spam more mines and demo's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?6 May 2015, 22:08 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2015, 21:22 PMZeaviS Well, no that doesn't make it a valid argument. I can get more shermans than you can a tiger ace, does that make the tiger ace bad? No it doesn't. I can get more panzer 4s before you can get an IS-2, does that mean the IS-2 is suddenly too weak? Obviously no. It's an issue with call in meta because the IS2 has the same armor with better speed than the KT, and doesn't have very much problem penning the KT either so when your opponent can get far more IS2's than you get KT's it's a big problem. The PIV has a fairly pathetic chance to pen the IS2, it's just worse in basically aspect, while the IS2 and KT are somewhat equal in some respects. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?6 May 2015, 21:01 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2015, 20:06 PMZeaviS So the argument here is that the king tiger sucks because it loses to 2 IS-2s? That's pretty silly. The enemy can always get more IS2's than you can get KT's so it's a valid argument. What's always bothered me is that Sturmpioneers seem to be able to bring an almost dead KT to full health extremely quickly. Mostly because you can't spam Sturms like you can RE's or CEngineers In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis Goliath6 May 2015, 19:35 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2015, 15:36 PMBulgakov Having lots of one unit type is "spam" having lots of units in one area in a big group is "blobbing" I don't see a problem with spamming. I just hate the fact that units can be lumped up without too much fear of reprisal. So anyway, did you have a big blob wandering round murdering things? Also, when players lose they tend to say anything to make the victory seem cheaper so don't worry about it if you weren't blobbing) Concentrating your forces for a breakthrough is one of the most basic tactical options available to you in pretty much every RTS. It's not like some of the factions have much options open to them. Soviets have a plethora of infantry options, but Ostheer is stuck with 2 normally (neither of which is particularly able to be spammed), and USF with 1 normally. As OKW if you go a doctrine like Fort, Scavenge, or Spec Op's the majority of your army is going to have to be Volks. Speaking from experience a lot of people whine when you get several Volks, but honestly what is the OKW player supposed to do? In: COH2 Balance
