Thread: Five man grenadier squads are exactly what Ostheer need.19 Mar 2015, 16:07 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2015, 10:30 AMKatitof Except, it won't happen because it would be greatly imbalanced against soviet tech. All other 80fu TDs have a range of 50 and not really impressive penetration. StuG and Ost puma already have a lead here because of TWP. Wolverine would had any potential if only abilities that actually make it useful weren't locked behind vet, allowing it to actually become 'cheap' flanker and playstyle alternative to long range Jackson. And seeing how StuG was reworked from being TD into being general use assault gun, I don't see it ever becoming proper TD. As I've said in another thread, not all armies are supposed to have everything. But the StuG is garbage as an assault gun, so what exactly is the point of making it when it's a more shit PIV with no turret, less armor, less health, and less mobility? The StuG either needs A. Far more armor or health and a price increase, or B. 60 range and better pen. The StuG wasn't originally 80 fuel btw. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RELIC-how about you tell us what is in the march 31 patch!19 Mar 2015, 16:04 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2015, 08:50 AMKatitof Not hard to call it since they always do that But all it takes is the basic communication within the company to get patch AND the notes at the same time. CoHo was a prototype of CoH2 and that is as far as it goes. We know less about possible DoW3 then jaigen about playing allies. So the whole new engine, true sight system, weather, new penetration system, received accuracy system, pathing system, is just a maguffin right? Or are you actually one of those people who thinks DoW is a spin off of CoH Except that I'm never talking about Competition, and even I was that's a tiny, tiny fraction of the games played. People who are playing "for fun" - which is basically everybody - aren't obliged to chose the optimum consensus load out. If they do it's because they want to win all the time, or they really care about ladder rank. That's a valid option, but then they don't have the right to complain that they are bored doing the same thing all the time. What people often seem to want is for Relic to randomly change unit stats rather then explore alternate play styles of their own volition. It is possible for the meta to change without patch, which I believe Relic have mentioned on Stream We have had B4 be very popular, and Axis players have learned to adapt to it and change their loadouts accordingly and on-map artillery is now not so common We have also, and in relation to that, had CAS and, to a much lesser extent, Advanced Warfare become more widely available and used. The meta around those has not yet settled down, but I think I am seeing much less CAS then we did a month ago. Also we have people experimenting with Fear Propaganda and using those Commanders. The problem Voort is that COH2 is as strategically deep as a dry puddle in a desert thanks to there being things like: No upgrades Commanders are often very similar Extremely wonky counter system Factions are to similar Factions are balanced around being good at certain times, rather than having a logical power progression Extremely unreliable systems like true sight and the suppression system. No, what people want is to win all the time in the easiest manner possible. They will then complain that the meta is stale and expect someone else to fix it for them Very few are willing to take risks and experiment People experiment all the time, the issue is that the commanders are mostly all the same and the lack of upgrades means you need to always focus on having a bigger army rather than playing smart with a smaller one. People want the meta to be shaken up because at the current point in time it's retardedly boring with how simple it is. Didn't you get the memo? The game is terrible; Relic are evil/incompetent/complacent/eat kittens and the only way anyone will say anything nice about Relic is if they are paid to. You must be a sell out, otherwise everything I just said above (which is apparently held as an article of faith by just about everybody here) has to be wrong. That would never do, because people would rather sit around bitching and being negative than having their beliefs challenged. Relic is a game development company, as such people are allowed to expect a quality product for their money. Many people like me have dumped 80+ dollars into the game and would like it to NOT have rampant bugs, frequent crashes, poor battleservers, and massive times in between patches. Relic isn't evil, but it is breathtakingly incompetent. "Beliefs" lol, this is a game, not a religion. In: Lobby
Thread: Sturm pioneers are overpriced19 Mar 2015, 15:53 PM The ISG isn't able to damage buildings very much, and it's only effective when used as a direct fire unit when the enemy is in direct LOS, making it very ineffective as a indirect fire unit. Sturms are good against some houses depending on the window placement as well as who loses more models first, a full 4 model Sturmsquad can normally pull it off if it's lucky, but many times you will just lose a model and then lose the DPS race. Also houses don't force you into one start it forces you to consider going for AA ht. You don't have to get it, you can avoid areas with houses on many maps. You can also get a puma and use it. Remember to damage the edges of a house to make it collapse. There are tons of maps were buildings are unavoidable, and the Flak HT damages houses far, far faster than a Puma will, telling a person to get a Puma to counter buildings is insane. OK, don't go grenades early then, get the Kubel and make him crawl into every house. Also Shrek does pretty good damage against houses. You can also get a Raken. Shreks barely damage houses at all, as do all forms of infantry based AT thanks to the garrison revamp after WFA. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?19 Mar 2015, 07:22 AM I'm still blown away people think a radical redesign is going to happen because Relic has never in their history done so. They have some fairly radical changes but never reworked the entire core mechanic of an army. The biggest thing I could see them doing is maybe getting rid of OKW's fuel penalty, but like hell will they ever remove the truck system. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?19 Mar 2015, 07:03 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2015, 05:23 AMOmega_Warrior This argument is stupid when you realize peter said they were changing the soviets so they weren't dependent on call-ins. Just because that's the way it is currently, doesn't mean that they believe that's the way it should be. Especially when they specifically say it isn't. To bad Peter doesn't work at Relic anymore. The chance of Soviets receiving a radical redesign is exactly zero, they would buff the stock units but that's about it. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: RELIC-how about you tell us what is in the march 31 patch!19 Mar 2015, 06:59 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2015, 06:12 AMNapalm The whole "Napalm is a sell out" movement is false. I have concerns about the balancing of the game. There is enough balancing/meta related stuff that a dedicated body should be assigned to it until addressed fully. There is just no movement, rather, you couldn't have timed that article more poorly considering the very drawn out cap we have been having in communication and content. Generally Iv found everyone on .org to be agreeable when playing with, I mean me and Comm had a huge argument but still have fun in 2's together In: Lobby

Yeah, and it's 100% RNG if you kill the squad or not, it's also based on how many windows the building has on each side. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?19 Mar 2015, 03:58 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2015, 03:40 AMAssaultPlazma Still waiting on you to provide a link to the relic developer who stated soviets were deisgned with being call in dependent in mind; If removing from the game then rebuilding is what it takes than sure.... Oh and curious what does the soviet call in meta have to do with USF call in usage? No one is arguing that it cant be killed, everyones wondering why it exist in the first place. That being omni-directional AI and AT massed area denial that simply comes from teching and takes absurd amount of effort to destroy? It's exists because Relic wanted to exist because OKW is a faction that is different from the other factions because it would be a tad boring for every faction to be the same. OKW focus's on truck based teching ----> all WFA techs give a bonus ----> OKW truck teching gives you a bonus in the form of forward retreat point/area denial/repairs and conversion. And if you don't believe Relic sad it, then just look at all the call ins soviet commanders give. There is over twice the amount of call in unis for Soviets than any other faction. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?19 Mar 2015, 03:26 AM I guess we should just remove soviets from the game because they are entirely designed around using doctrinal units. Oh wait that's exactly the reason Soviets preform so well. Everything about the Schwer has already been said, it shouldn't pen medium tanks but otherwise it's fine. If you can't kill it that's on you. Use 2 pathfinder artillery call in's an it's instantly dead and he can't do anything about it, or use time on target, or hit it with an AT gun, ect.
