Thread: Abandon crit allowing vehicles to take overkill damage25 Mar 2022, 16:41 PM In COH2 any vehicle shy of medium armor dies in 2 clean penetrations. In the video you posted I believe it to be a bug of Relic servers due to the difference of authentication and speed. At any rate not a common occurence. In: Lobby

Thread: Coh2 on Linux23 Mar 2022, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2022, 14:08 PMRosbone That was the point of my question. It is not user friendly. I looked at it many years ago and it ran like crap and crashed all the time. Which is the opposite of why you run Linux. You run it for stability Then I looked around several years later and it seemed dead. To me the problem is since no company "OWNS" Linux, it will always be a flavor of the month. There are hundreds of versions, interfaces, etc and the versions get traction for a year or two then disappear. I don't see it ever gaining a meaningful user base because of this. So the thing that makes it cool (no one owns it and it is free), is also the reason why no one runs it. My question still stands, how many people run Linux? If you are referring numbers of consumers running a surface system then yes you are correct: less than 2.2% of consumers use Linux as their main working environment[source]. The picture changes when looking at the stats for server users: more than 82% use the Linux kernel [source]. It's all about where you use it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: At the end the modding team didn’t balance the game.23 Mar 2022, 13:47 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2022, 13:22 PMGachiGasm But if we only speak about scenario where ST rolled in, successfully shot and rolled out, ignoring everything what comes before it, then yes its AOE provides much more. But that's rarely the case in COH2 so in general any kind of one sided discussion should not stand. The endgame (I am agreeing with you) is that these units have been made pretty much equal because a vocal minority got very very butthurt from the ST's perceived performance. In: Lobby

The old Soviet tech tree was more restrictive than the current one. No there are not I have said so repeatedly. Currently, OST/SOV tech trees are perfect for their purposes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Coh2 on Linux23 Mar 2022, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2022, 12:03 PMRosbone Serious question: Is Linux still a thing? Beyond a server, does anyone use Linux anymore. It seems to have died about 10 years ago. There are a million flavors and none of them are very good. Complicated to get running, too many versions, and you can find almost no help from what I remember. I have agreed with what you have said about COH2, but my friend that's 150% wrong. "Linux" is not """a""" system, but a kernel that can do millions of things. In my job we only use linux (I especially use Artix) and that's in a non-it corporate. Everyhing from writing theses, to running the servers, to running the SQL stuff, to managing timeslots, to overclocking old CPUs... In every aspect other than gaming, Linux is king. Basically, the only "fault" of Linux is that it's not normie friendly. However, if you ever want to do something more with your computer other than opening and closing COH2 and Firefox, you will realize just how amazing Linux is as a philosophy. Most software today runs like shit because it's essentialy bloatware in order to make the "user experience" better. And there's no better example at this than commercial virtual meeting apps (like Zoom, MS Teams etc) which basically have the very easy and lightweight webcam API in it but need like 6gb of ram in order to run smoothly all the shitty panels, animated intros etc. Computers getting stronger =/= getting better. And I am not even shilling it, it's free. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: I think Ost pioneers should lose their sight bonus23 Mar 2022, 13:04 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2022, 21:05 PMZyllen Teamgames cannot be balanced because of the very poor game design of THQ. if something needs to be balanced, you should do so from the perspective of 1vs1 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Penals PPSH23 Mar 2022, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2022, 16:03 PMVipper As for original commander in faction design, yes it was there to cover the "holes" (not faults) in teching and that is why Soviet have access to so many doctrinal units. But the "holes" in teching where fixed when the Soviet tech become 3 building instead of two and doctrinal access remained. So let me get this, you are saying that everything is ok since the balance team stopped making t1 and t2 mutually exclusive. I would agree with you if there was not fuel cost with them, because going t1 + t2 doubles the fuel requirement for the game saving T70. At any rate SOV tech tree is more than balanced, having the most OP units from docs (120mm, Guards, 85mm T34) so really non issue. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW forward reinforce?23 Mar 2022, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2022, 11:51 AMTrubbbel Gotta be a bug as they say. I can't reinforce at medic-truck regardless of controlling territory and cannot build King Tiger although I have the resources, enough free population, all trucks are deployed and panther athorization is active. I do not understand why people play OKW online in this state (it does not affect games against AI I've noticed). Yes, I did control it though. There's no bug. Post replay. In: COH2 Gameplay
