Thread: Balance of power has shifted to Allies in 4v4AT (imo)1 May 2015, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2015, 09:30 AMSarantini Does anyone play 3v3? 3v3 and 4v4 are the most popular game modes. Team games have normally been the most popular game modes across almost every Relic game, at least in Dawn of War. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should OKW get a heavy artillery piece?1 May 2015, 16:23 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2015, 14:48 PMBrick Top Ive said it before and I'll say it again, Axis factions in general are designed to have weaker indirect fire than the allies, but stronger armoured units to get things done brute force. OKW in particular excell in a tight, focused area.. but struggle to have impact the further from their trucks they get. Super long range arty kinda goes against that and would give them a crutch in one of their weaknesses. Not really, the only Axis howitzer sucks because it was nerfed into the ground. It originally was quite good. All factions should have the same tools open to them, USF not getting heavy tanks is dumb, OKW not having artillery or mediums is dumb, Soviets having crap stock units is dumb. Factions shouldn't have abitrary weakness's players can do nothing about, because it means the game becomes a match of rock paper scissors with one faction always beating another but being beat by a separate faction; which isn't fun. I dont think OKW actually needs arty. I would rather spend my man power on armor or elite infantry, both will get the job done. OKW has call in arty for muni and I think this is good enough, besides arty meta is dead right now. Not with the fuel penalty. And what about S Tiger? The Nuke machine, built on the chasis of a Tiger and only needs to get within striking range for a second, then pull back to safety of flak HQ, rakkettens in buildings and shrek blob. Cos other factions have anything remotley similar to this... Are you seriously implying the Sturmtiger is an artillery piece? I'm pretty much the only one who uses it because it's probably one of if not the hardest unit to micro in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Remove free lieutenant1 May 2015, 16:16 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2015, 15:36 PMCookiezNcreem I'm not paying 200 mp 50 fuel for a BAR unlock then having to buy the LT himself too on top of that, LOL That is literally the point of teching as a system, you pay to unlock stuff you then have to buy. When I'm playing Ostheer I'm forced to pay for battlegroup phases I don't want to pay for in order to get to units, while a USF player doesn't need to buy captain to get Shermans. In: Lobby
Thread: Double T34/85s and PrettyEasy Eight1 May 2015, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2015, 09:11 AMdasheepeh I wouldn want a rng free coh2 either. I think its the rng that makes this game feel more dynamic and alive, it adds more soul to it. A rts game purely based on strict math doesnt sound fun to me. You know RNG is math based right? All RTS's have RNG to some degree, it's just that Relic decided to crank it up to 11 mostly through lack of foresight. I can't really blame the initial guy who put plane crashes in, as he probably didn't know how bad they would become. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should OKW get a heavy artillery piece?1 May 2015, 07:20 AM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2015, 07:15 AMAerohank A doctrinal howie for OKW would be very nice. But I would suggest a static version rather than the Hummel, otherwise the fuel cost would make players just ignore it because they need panthers. A static 88 artillery piece would be very nice.

I thought we discuss at games in this thread. How is fear prop+recon+incendiary from anti-inf is worse? Soviets have barely any spare mp to build elite infantry until they on back foot or stale for call-ins. Is2 is better for ant-inf purposes, t34-85 is for flanks. How other one is2 commander better than this one with self-repair is beyond me. Armored Assault is ultimate late game commander. Best one if you want to have good tanks in late game with fast repairs. And i use t34-85 and is-2 at the same time quite often. ISU on smaller maps? GL getting reversed from panther flanks or hitting infantry through short blockers everywhere. And what 4v4 map is small? Lienne? Huntgren? So you will trade paratroopers, which dominate infantry mid to late game and p 47 strafes for one artillerry call-in from unit which dies from looking at lmg grens? С'mon. So you agree with And i am not "pretending". If my opinion is not worth enough, look at opinions of other good 4v4/3v3 players there. They will all say the same. Ohme wrote damn book about it. I never said I disagree. But it seems like there is double standards being applied here with people legit suggesting that playing with Axis stock units is optimal or desired when fighting allied doctrine units. Remember; USF's best units are almost all stock much like OKW. Except OKW has to rely on call in infantry. In: COH2 Gameplay

Coz static artillery emplacements worthless against CAS or Luftwaffe? And what? Being gimmick not makes it bad. No, completely overshadowed by doctrines i listed. B4 would be bombed by CAS before it inflict any serious damage, better to play without commander then go b4 against CAS. Airborne simply best USF doctrine. In 3 sov + 1 USF scenarios USF player should go airborne every game. Most people don't expect static emplacement artillery anymore since the B4 change, and are unprepared to see people still use it or make use of the ML-20. Not to mention terror doctrine has access to fear propaganda AND the ML-20 allowing you to hit the double whammy of forcing a retreat then smashing an HQ. The no elite infantry from armored assault makes it garbo because you need to capitalize on Allies early game power, and T34/85's AND IS2's in the same doctrine is dumb and redundant when the other IS2 and T34/85 commanders are much better anyway. The Shock ISU is better on smaller maps. And Airborne isn't by far the best and only doctrine you have to go in 4's, for example Recon Support is great for the artillery call in. Not all doctrines are equal, but pretending Allies lack for viable commanders in them is laughable when both sides are shoe horned into taking a select few commanders if they want to play optimally.

Your list makes no sense, why would you cross out Terror Tactics and add anti-infantry tactics which is just Terror tactics but shit. Armored Assault has zero elite infantry, and I didn't add tank hunters just because it's a gimmick doctrine. The shock ISU is great, the counterattack tactics is still good (if you build your B4 in your own base your an idiot and won't hit anything). Shock army has 120's, shocks, and 120mm mortars, and the anti infantry strafe, if you coordinate with your team mates they can make up for your lack of call in armor. And USF Airborne isn't the only good 4's doctrines, Priests as mentioned earlier are good for smashing OKW HQs and denying space. In: COH2 Gameplay

Where do you see any problem? You do realize the doctrine is anti USF meta, right? Who cares? USF can be shut down without CAS, and infantry would still be a great commander if you couldn't decrew your priests. It's a bloody howitzer, it doesn't need to jump out for emergency repairs. If it's getting hit it should die. And lol if you seriously still go CAS to counter USF, 2 months ago called they want their meta back. In: COH2 Gameplay

Yeah 1 Axis doctrine, that's countered by driving slightly to the left or right. Obviously makes being able to spam priests just fine. In: COH2 Gameplay
