Thread: Relic Twitch Stream Tomorrow! 3pm PST / 11pm GMT4 Mar 2015, 22:17 PM Here I think I found a video of Relic HQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u0EL_u4nvw In: Lobby
Thread: 4vs4 as allied4 Mar 2015, 22:07 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2015, 21:14 PMpigsoup it's not just about cost my simple man. should i explain more? probably not because it is clear you won't be convinced by anything. p.s. if you are gonna bring up fuel disadvantage, bring up salvage, vet 5, resource conversion, free med/repair/AA-aerial denial, etc etc. all the shits that are there to counteract okw resource deficiency. You should explain more because the idea that the OKW AA HT is easier to replace than the USF AA HT is makes exactly zero sense. How does vet 5 make up for the fuel shortage? Higher vet units don't give you more income. You have to pay for your medics and repair base. Resource conversion is stupid and does nothing but gimp you till late game, and the Schwer is AA aerial denial because it's OKW's most important tier building. In a 4 v 4 game, 3 OKW and 1 Wehrmacht is the one of the best set up a competitive team can have. I have played against Go Hard clan with this set up and it is pretty difficult to beat. 1 OKW player goes defensive for Paks, 1 OKW player goes for Jagd, 1 OKW player goes for Falls (harssement) and 1 Whermact goes CAS/Tiger. Perfect counter for infantry (CAS) and rest if for all the medium and heavy tanks. OKW synergy with Wehrmacht is on point in team games. Funny thing about 4 v 4 against competitive team, Axis will field almost/close amount of infantry squads as Allies, all thanks to OKW. (I have been guilty of spamming 4 Volks squads into Fusiliers myself to overwhelm USF/Sov). Allies will always be hard to play in 2 v 2+ games, fuel penalty means shit. Allies are harder to play because you need better coordination, not because allied units magically do less dps or have worse armor. And the most viable set up for 4's is 2 OKW and 2 Ostheer. Tigers are irrelevant in 4's against a good allies team, what you want from Ostheer is Elefants and indirect fire support. In a 4's game, if both sides are making fuel caches, which by the way is harder for Axis due to Ostheer being MP starved, then the tanks will be hitting the field at the same proportional time intervals than they did before. The t34/76 will come in before the Panther like always. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: reasoning for putting a flak gun on the OKW base building?4 Mar 2015, 22:00 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2015, 21:45 PMdasheepeh Yet its units have infinitely more viable and value to them. And the units cost more, and the building isn't hard to kill, and you have to place it aggressively to stay in the game. And the Panther isn't infinitely more viable than the Katyusha, nor is the Sturmtiger infinitely more viable than the t34/76. In: COH2 Balance

HOW RETARDED IS THAT It should be stock army fights stock army equally well, commanders provide specific, non essential bonuses It has never worked like that and you know it. Commanders are supposed to be part of your core strategy, not just glorified bulletins. Commander choice is extremely important because that was the entire goal of implementing the system.

Obers worse than sturms? Sturms arent bullet proof, dont have lethal grenades, are only close range while obers cant repair/lay mines and do other engineering things "And my source is logic. Soviet commanders give you call in tanks and call in infantry for a reason. Do you think it's totally a coincidence?" ummmmmmmm All factions have several commanders that give access to call in tanks/infantry I fail the point your trying to make Far, far more soviet commanders give you call in infantry and tanks together than other faction commanders. And without the LMG34 Ober's are worse due to the eh DPS on their Kar98's. And I would select airborne because it's the best American commander, independent of para's being quite good.

Utility infantry for scouting. Neither JLI, Fuss, or Fallsch are supposed to be the core of your army/assault force. JLI are just OKW Pathfinders, Fallsch are insanely expensive while being quite fragile, and Fuss are just slightly better 6 man Volks with no shrek. They are supposed to augment your force so you can adapt, none are supposed to be your bread and butter like shocks, but they do give you the utility of conscripts which OKW lacks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reasoning for putting a flak gun on the OKW base building?4 Mar 2015, 20:40 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2015, 20:34 PMAssaultPlazma Same could be said about Paras for that matter, without LMGs or thompsons they're just more expensive riflemen with an extra man and a different ability. also were still waiting on you to provide a source that proves relic intend the Soviets to be call in heavy/reliant. Para's are quite good with out their LMG's or Tompsons, they just get to be even better when you get them. Obers with out the LMG34 would be worse than Sturms in every situation that didn't involve max range while still costing more. And my source is logic. Soviet commanders give you call in tanks and call in infantry for a reason. Do you think it's totally a coincidence? In: COH2 Balance

They don't because Obers with out the LMG are bleh at 400 MP. They need to get a buff if they lose their LMG34. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Player Card Worth and Community 4 Mar 2015, 20:24 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2015, 20:17 PMInverse But again, the disconnect between theory and application is enormous. I could look at your replay and tell you every little thing you did wrong and how to correct it, but that's not going to magically make you a better player, and it's not magically going to give you all this knowledge about the game either. There's an amazing moment of clarity that occurs when you finally come to understand the game entirely, and it's not something you can explain or impart on others with a few words. It takes serious effort and serious commitment, and it makes a serious difference in how you perceive the game. It's not really something you can understand until you've experienced it, but it's the main reason why I shut the fuck up about specific technical matters regarding all but two of the competitive activities I've taken part in. The knowledge gap between experts and everyone else in any skill-based field is astonishing. Yes but you can take what you learned and actually apply it, and you can also use said knowledge of your mistakes to recognize other peoples mistakes. And this game really isn't deep enough mechanics wise to make the claim that there is some great massive gap between players skill levels. This game requires very good micro at higher levels across every single faction. But the unit list is far to small and the amount of strategies far to small to consider planning a real difference maker. I do understand the feeling you are talking about, when I first got into visiting and speaking with streamers and whatnot I learned so much so fast (Thanks Sibchat!), but eventually I just discovered the only real difference between players at high ranks was the ability to micro units effectively.

Thread: Player Card Worth and Community 4 Mar 2015, 20:19 PM A high ranked person is more likely to be knowledgeable about balance, but this does not mean a higher ranked person is always a better authority on balance. If 5/8th's of a breed of cat is black, than it is more likely to find a cat of that breed that is black. This does not mean every cat of the breed is black, In: COH2 Gameplay
