Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF14 Feb 2015, 08:23 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2015, 08:15 AMRMMLz They are UP if you ask me. Why would I even call in an expensive squad, pay a lot of precious muni and then see it wiped with one HE shot? Because a unit being countered by the very thing it's intended to counter is good game design apparently. In: COH2 Balance

They lost a lot of money on most of their games in late 2014 and early 15' flopping, and the rumor on the block is that they are going to sell of titles like Bayonetta. It's kind of a pipe dream that COH might actually get a compitent developer, but a man can dream can't he? That's what this poll is about after all. In: Lobby

Thread: Does anyone elese regret purchasing the USF DLC?14 Feb 2015, 05:19 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2015, 16:40 PMJHeartless OKW can touch its early game just finnne. Rifles do jack when suppressed/Pushed and Sturmd. I like USF. I find them fun as it forces me to be better at micro. So for that aspect they are great. I love the Sherman and their flexibility as a faction. I do not appreciate their lack of consistent AT DPS against Heavy Tanks. And their long list of under-performing units. All the USF player has to do is get grenades early and your Kubel becomes basically useless, and Sturms need to be right up a rifle squads ass in order to do enough DPS to win in a straight up fight. USF doesn't really have much in the way of under preforming units, except maybe the Stuart and the .50 cal. In: Lobby
Thread: Remove Shreck from Volks14 Feb 2015, 05:16 AM What's wrong with Puppchen isn't just aim times, it's poor accuracy, and having a very fragile weapons crew. The rocket most of the time just blows up on the world scenery instead of hitting it's intended target. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: okwunits14 Feb 2015, 05:12 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2015, 01:16 AMdasheepeh damn... i like that idea It's the best way of ensuring that OKW "feels" like it's as a resource penalty while helping prevent infantry spam. Since most of the OKW vehicles take a fair amount of pop cap your Manpower income will be reduced and will mean it will take longer to get your next tank out. It will would also mean OKW have a little more wiggle room to chose what they make, so we would see more use of things like the Sturmtiger and Jadgpanzer. And since the fuel price of the Sturm and Stuka wouldn't be as high they would vet up more naturally rather than taking forever since they are a high fuel cost unit shooting at cheap MP enemys.

Thread: okwunits14 Feb 2015, 05:08 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2015, 00:48 AMCabreza It's not necessarily dishonest so much as it is difficult. As Jheartless mentioned there are a lot of variables that can affect just how much fuel income OKW is receiving including map size, fuel conversion, and salvage. OKW never receives less than 66% fuel income (unless converting it to munitions) but depending on those variables their actual fuel income can fluctuate wildly. The issue is converting robs of you of valuable resources early game which is a killer as you need to get Shreks out ASAP will maintain fuel income to tech up. Yeah if you luck out and get a lot of salvage you will be able to get ahead, but that also probably means you enemy is playing quite poorly so it's probably a win anyway! The fact is that you can rely on purely mp to stay alive and that is a department on which OKW is cost effective. Sure you can rely on it to say alive theoretically, but your shreks and Obers won't do jack shit to howitzers and other forms of indirect, which will quickly force you to give ground.

Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF14 Feb 2015, 00:37 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2015, 23:00 PMFaustCostBulletin What what? Ostheer is an amazing faction and you don't even need Tiger. A lot of fun to play with many options. Play 2v2, Ost is a beast there. As for 1v1, not many people care about it and the game shouldn't be balanced around 1v1s but 2v2s, as that is the middle ground where most people are. Non-doctrine USF units can counter and out preform pretty much anything Ostheer can make except the Panther. They do by being on the field. They dont need to kill a unit to counter it and render it useless. Please dont get into the skill argument or try to even go that way. Also RNG never happens, Vehciles dont hit mines, Vehicles dont get snared, and Pathing never screws up... Obviously yes Shreks can kill Jacksons, but I would never get shreks to counter one. That's the domain of the Panther/AT guns. Try 80+90 Fuel tell me how cheap that is. Now you can buy a Sherman! By the way you get the lowest starting fuel. Welcome to the USF. I am not saying that everything in T3 is great. But nothing in it is bad either. And the P4 is great. Would I take a Jackson over a Stug? Of course. Would I take a Jackson over a Panther? Hell no. Exactly, T3 isn't bad but it isn't great, it's just pretty much out classed by everything that USF and Soviets can build resulting in it's obsolescence. Who said OKW did? LOL Last I checked the Tiger was Ostheer... Ostheer are just as commander reliant these days as Soviets really, mostly because of needing Tigers in order to deal with the insane amount of allied mediums and infantry. The Elefant still also has a good place as it comes in good commanders, but the Pak43 comes in some pretty crap commanders. Call in meta will always be the case as long as it's cheaper and better than teching in every way, this extremely obvious with Ostheer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove Shreck from Volks14 Feb 2015, 00:27 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2015, 22:53 PMAustralian Magic Asymetrical balance by Relic. Hey, let's give Axis best tanks! Let's give also best AT. I guess it's not enough... So let's give them best infatry! Axis factions are facing medium tanks mostly so let's give them handheld AT that can almost always penetrate front armor. Allied factions are facing huge tanks so let's give them shitty handheld AT so they won't penetrate it! Funny fact, 160 at long range vs most common USF tank, Sherman which has... 160 front armor! On the other hand, bazooka with 110 penetration against 200-400+ armor. Now do math. The Panther and Tiger are both worse than the IS2, and the Puppchen is the worst dedicated AT unit in the game. The thing with allies is that while they might not have lots of heavy armor, they have a massive amount of excellent medium tanks that can really put the hurt on Axis throughout the game. I agree it's dumb that it's very easy for allies in win in the first 10 minutes but that there is essentially a time limit on how long you can let OKW keep fuel before you just get assfucked by heavy tanks, but that's an issue with Allies and Axis, not with a single particular faction. But again the reason Volks have shreks is that OKW lack any good dedicated AT that doesn't cost fuel, relic calls it the "Shrek Crutch" and have stated multiple times it's not going to get removed until they figure out some better ways to give OKW viable early to mid game AT.

Thread: okwunits14 Feb 2015, 00:21 AM It's dishonest not to adjust the fuel prices for OKW when discussing arrival time and cost because basically all of OKW's unit costs revolve around it, and yes it makes little sense OKW is about spamming infantry but that's what you get when you combine quite large fuel costs with reduced income. Which is why Iv said multiple times that OKW tanks should cost less fuel but far more manpower to reduce the amount of losses OKW can replace infantry wise will encouraging the player to actually field vehicles.
