Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?15 Mar 2015, 22:16 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2015, 22:04 PMAustralian Magic Lower income but cheaper tech and more powerful units. It's not lower income - nothing, it's lower income - best tech and best units. I have 1400h with CoH2 and I saw bunkers, a saw sometimes 2 bunkers, but Ive never ever seen something what you are describing. Wires, sandbags, flak emplacement, bunkers, mines - this is defense. It requires micro, tactic and planning. Schwerer has nothing to do with those things. It actually happens in the very replay I posted like 10 minutes ago, and OKW's units are just expensive as every other factions units but more so due to the fuel reduction tacked on. OKW can get vehicles at the door faster with cheaper teching but replacing them becomes tricky if you lose them to fast. Lower income has to come with some sort of thing to make up for it, since making a faction that's just objectively worse isn't very attractive. and the flak emplacement is a joke, killed by any unit with grenades, mines don't require skill, demo's do, wire and sandbags are piss easy to use to cut off sectors. Nothing defense related requires that much thinking, the Schwer is just the big daddy of defense but it still dies like any other emplacement. Get armor/indirect and play smart, the schwer will be no issue for you in that case. Shutting down area's of the map is stupid easy as USF, I'm kind of shocked you haven't ever FP spammed.

Thread: @Relic: Maps Maps Maps 15 Mar 2015, 22:07 PM It's funny that Relic also has no idea how to use it's own lighting engine, maps that are set to dusk or nighttime look amazing, and there are multiple buildings in the game files that are colorful and nice to look at. Instead we get endless gray and super bright lighting. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?15 Mar 2015, 21:54 PM You want to remove OKW's trucks, and you think the reduced income isn't a disadvantage. Okay And the thing with Bunker and FP spam isn't that you can move one AT gun up and clear it, it's that you have multiple Bunkers and FP's all covering each other so you can't flank them while Rifles + rear's in the FP's can deal with any AT gun pushes. Shutting down territory with defenses is part of the game, it's never not been part of the game. At this point it's stupid to argue being able to stop the capping of cut offs and fuel somehow makes things unfair when every faction is capable of it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What are you expecting from the British Army?15 Mar 2015, 21:35 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2015, 21:33 PMWingZero How about Brits get Centurion tank, you know for shits and giggles like everything Axis? So can OKW and Ostheer start getting 1945 units? V2 mobile launcher truck and all that fun stuff? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Schwerer so broken, will it be fixed in the upcoming patch?15 Mar 2015, 21:33 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2015, 21:26 PMWingZero How can you Axis ONLY players be so blind that the Schwerer just locks down fuel for allotted time? How can you defend this? The basic mechanic of cutting fuel off and aggressive play is part of the coh2 formula. I am sure if you play Wehrmacht, you have to constantly worry about your own fuel point, but OKW? I cannot wait for that March patch, so OKW can be competitive and not easy win 90% of the time. I didn't know that Ostheer got reduced fuel income, or that they couldn't lock down area's cough Oustruppen/CAS cough Fortifying area's does take some amount of intelligence and knowledge of what shotblockers your dealing with as well as the importance of say covering a VP or covering a fuel point. The Schwer shouldn't kill tanks (no emplacment other than AT guns which have no AI power should), but it being able to stop infantry and light vehicles is no different than an Ostheer player spamming bunkers or a USF player spamming FP's. Because they have not played against it a single time and have no slightest idea how it really works duuh. Obviously this match didn't happen, all a dream. http://www.coh2.org/replay/32127/spread-fear-with-katyusha-rocket-barrage In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: @Relic: Maps Maps Maps 15 Mar 2015, 21:10 PM I don't understand the distaste for symmetrical maps when they are pretty much the staple of every balanced RTS ever made, people constantly demand better balance but seem to be obsessed with keeping things that ruin it. I would take a million Steppes type maps over 1 Rostov. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What are you expecting from the British Army?15 Mar 2015, 21:03 PM A faction that focus's on a diverse set of AT guns instead of having just one, as if any army in the war used one AT gun and nothing else. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 15 Mar 2015, 20:59 PM The biggest issue with the MG42 (much like the .50 cal) is the fragility of the crew, but at least with the .50 cal you have a fairly good set up and pack up time that lets you escape. The MG42/34 should just get 6 men and a price increase (and so should the .50 cal), that would go a long way towards making it so you can't just easily overwhelm it with 2 infantry squads standing directly in it's cone of fire. That or just give them better traverse rate/reload, that's fine to. In: COH2 Balance
