Thread: Ostheer - MG42 16 Mar 2015, 16:56 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 15:37 PMKatitof Unless in both cases you have used OPsoldaten then I call It's all RNG, if your squad targets the gunner then it's fairly easy to wipe the MG because it won't be shooting at you at all. Sometimes I find myself easily able to wipe .50 cals with Fuss or Volks, sometimes my Obers won't do shit. Was USF Iv been able to replicate killing MG42's fairly easily just due to the fact if you catch the MG42 while it's traversed to one side if you go in on the other you can kill 1-2 models before it targets you. So it was intentional? Christ, Relic never ceases to amaze me. Chat was preeetty toxic after that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Your best CoH2 stories16 Mar 2015, 16:50 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 16:21 PMelchino7 Gonna call BS, since if you get commanders of other factions, once you select them they just dissapear. The only ability that seems to work with other factions is radio intercept (maybe Soviet industry resources might work but i don't have the commander). But still, the ui wont show up. TBH, it's pretty simple mechanic to do so. Just switch factions the moment someone starts the search. Pretty simple to replicate. In my case, and this was the first time i've ever seen it happened, i was soviet while my partner was OKW and SOMEHOW i think he was able to start the search and inmediatly i changed to OKW. I guess the battleservers fuck up and send me into the game with SU with SU commanders. Shame it matched us againts low ranks and the game ended in 6mins. If you change commanders then change factions was the only time I had it happen, and yeah it was probably a battle server bug. But if you do go into cheatmod or mod other faction commanders into being usable by any faction they work fine. Iv had it happen to friends before, once had my friend get an OKW commander as Ostheer and holy about half the abilities worked. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?16 Mar 2015, 15:25 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 15:22 PMWingZero I love it how you are comparing demos to Schwerer now, demos disappear after explosion.. Schwerer is a no brainer building, place it on fuel. The building does not require "intelligent" thought process. Schwerer guarantees fuel point for OKW until it is destroyed (my combined arms & Tanks), for Wher, Soviets and USF constantly worry about fuel cut offs. Place it directly on a fuel point and see how far you get, placing a Schwer way out in the open were it's super easy to get at makes it very easy to kill. If an opponent uses shot blockers intelligently and places it smart than there is zero reason he should not be awarded for doing so. And you should have combined arms anyway, or do you only ever make mortars, AT guns and tanks because your opponent made a Schwer In: COH2 Gameplay

The Schwer is a defensive emplacement that also counts as a tech building. A thing can have multiple roles, or do you think the major is only a forward retreat point and not a unit Wow, that from the guy who argues that by watching and analyzing replays you can get an equally good understanding of game balance as people who have played tons of matches on high ranks? I don't think you are in a position to pull the "your opinion is less valid because you didn't play so much"-card. Additionally, you never shys away from blaming others for not being argumentative and resorting to personal attacks against you... cough There is a marked difference between rank shaming and telling someone off because they have never played the faction they are talking about. Am I high ranked with every faction? Fuck no. But I have at least played every faction. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 16 Mar 2015, 15:15 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 15:01 PMKatitof The biggest suitability buff they can get is spread formations and OPsoldaten nerf. That applies to all weapon teams, sticking their weewees into each other is the main cause of their explosions originated deaths. It's not just explosives or Obers, rifles can easily just walk up to an MG42 squad and kill it with out any other thinking. What's the point of machines guns if they are literally unable to do their job? I can easily walk up to a .50 cal and kill the crew with out barely any effort, and it has nothing to do with bunching, they crew is just fragile as shit and only has 4 men. In: COH2 Balance

This is basically the opposite of that. I'll dig through my image folder to see If I can find the the screens I took, was a while ago. I know there was an image posted a while ago of an OKW player with Soviet commanders, which never happened to me. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 16 Mar 2015, 14:55 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 14:50 PMKatitof That would be an excuse if it costed 240mp. Hint: it doesn't. According to Relic that's why it's fragile, I personally don't think it's a good idea. I wouldn't mind it if both the MG42 and .50 cal got 6 crewmen, or some other survivability buff. The biggest challenge both face is that they can die to easily to enemy infantry with out the enemy needing to ever go through the effort of flanking. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ostheer - MG42 16 Mar 2015, 14:46 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 14:22 PMAerohank It could be worse. At least the MG42 does not have brittle bone disease like the .50 cal and the DHSK machine guns. For those who do not know, these 2 weapons have low health/armor stats for some reason so they take lots of damage from explosive weapons and will get completely wrecked if not repaired in between every engagement. According to Relic in one of the first post WFA streams the reason why the .50 cal is more fragile is that it's better damage and suppression is balanced by it's fragility. Honestly I'm just more concerned with how easy it is to kill the crew on the .50 cal/MG42 while standing directly in it's field of fire. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?16 Mar 2015, 14:41 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2015, 13:50 PMdrChengele I am done arguing with Alexzandvar directly. I will instead resort to taking his statements to their logical extremes. Alexzandvar: "Soviet Union desperately needs a non doctrinal 360 degree AoE building with a huge radius that can damage tanks and insta supress infantry." Alexzandvar: "Stats don't really matter in this game. If a unit exists for a long time it automatically becomes balanced even though there haven't been any balance patches in a long time. Furthermore, if a unit can be damaged with other units, said unit automatically becomes balanced and no debate about the precise worth and usability of unit needs to take place." I don't think it should pen tanks, Iv said that like a million times, idiot. And the Schwer can be countered, or else I'm pretty sure win rates between Axis and Allies wouldn't be nearly as even as they are in tournaments or other high skill settings. I've tried that and it doesn't really help. You don't actually play OKW, like, have never once played it so I assume your understanding of the faction and it's strengths and weakness is probably not that good. How does this justify Schwerer? Being able to deny territory can be achieved multiple ways and it is no more inherently cheesy to do it with a Schwer than to do it with anything else. I can't believe people are actually this dense; stopping your opponent from being able to cap points through intelligent use of defenses has been in the game since day 1 so why is the Schwer such an issue? why do ppl keep assuming ppl are complaining about nooby agressive schwerer? i am sure OP was but don't think most ppl are. This is a self contradicting statement. In: COH2 Gameplay
