Thread: Should Artillery be limited, and if so, to how much?8 Mar 2016, 18:35 PM I'd much prefer artillery units being limited with an appropriate power level to compensate. People who hate arty spam and people who like using arty at all win. Though I'll admit, even that limitation could be hard to balance around. We certainly don't want arty to be reliably one-shotting infantry squads or shooting every 20 seconds to balance themselves, suppression on all of them would probably have to happen. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So. no Japan or Italy , but a THIRD German Army?8 Mar 2016, 16:42 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2016, 06:40 AMnee Threads like these remind me of the US military's digital camo craze. Eh? You taking the Universal(ly useless everywhere) Camouflage Pattern? (Except for someone's couch) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: major's artillery need a price decrease8 Mar 2016, 16:30 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2016, 15:11 PMWaegukin I'd rather it got a stat buff then price reduction. As the USF's primary way of dealing with things like Pak43s and blobs, its pretty bad. Ditto. I'd pay the 120 price for it just fine if the performance anywhere near fit that. As it stands now, it'll probably hit one, maybe two squads in a blob once at most before they all retreat, and that's assuming the blob's controller isn't paying attention enough to not get hit. Even if they don't retreat, you're blessed by RNGesus to actually get a wipe from it. In: COH2 Balance

They made peace after the Soviets got their asses handed to them. The Soviets won the Winter War pyrrhically which quite embarrassed them, and won the Continuation War with significant better odds for their adversaries. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: the lost of veterancy and balance...7 Mar 2016, 05:03 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2016, 03:56 AMClick I actually found it hard to believe that a bug can destroy infantry vet so badly until I experienced it myself. I had 4 panzerfusiliers with upgrade (5 star vet) and they had a hard time killing 3 rifleman squad with bars. I guess fusiliers did not receive the accuracy bonus they get when they were vetted up and then reinforced. Was it a max-range fight? Confusingly, at long-range, BARs will win. At medium and less, the PFs will have the advantage. Still pretty sure PFs will need their vet to win comfortably against double BAR Rifles though, without it they probably won't win against BAR rifles by a lot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why 2 germans?7 Mar 2016, 03:33 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2016, 21:45 PMThunderhun RUSE has Italy, Japan...with 44-45 design. Its not rocket science to add them to Coh 2... R.U.S.E. also has players fighting with the Maus, the Type 5 Chi-Ri, the T95 and the ARL 44 tanks. And there was DLC for a game mode with a nuclear option. Even the silliness of the Bergetiger in CoH1 has more basis than those units, really. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: the lost of veterancy and balance...7 Mar 2016, 02:41 AM I do think it feels decently well, aside from Soviet base infantry being downright useless once upgrades hit the field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ostwind performance7 Mar 2016, 00:04 AM With the Ostwind's poor accuracy on the move, it's basically an HMG 42 extension - if you don't feel like your set-up is handling infantry fine but you've got sufficient AT, put those two together. The Ostwind rather needs the 42's suppression if an handheld AT blob pops up, and your 42 might want the Ostwind to quickly kill particularly big suppressed blobs that might overpower it, or cover its flanks. If that combination doesn't feel like something which will work for whatever reason and you don't want the AA, the Ostwind probably isn't the answer for you. Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2016, 23:58 PMTobis It's okay. Rather inconsistent, the long reload really hurts the unit if you finish a fight near the end of the magazine. Unless you manually shoot the ground until it reloads you will get stuck with one shot and a 5 second reload right when you want it to be effective. There is just not much point in getting it, the cost is close enough to the p4 that I would just wait for the p4 in pretty much every situation. That is more something I'd like for the Ostwind than simple big buffs (like price reduction, fire-rate increase, etc.), adjusting its stats (like reducing the reload time and decreasing the cooldown while decreasing the burst duration) so dealing with its poor accuracy on the move is easier.

Thread: ? vet bug5 Mar 2016, 18:01 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 17:47 PMelchino7 It's worded badly. I think at this point that blog post is doing more damage than good. The engine having a flaw on how it handles veterancy and reinforce has been part of the game since launch. Not having offensive veterancy working properly on infantry has been part since like 4 months ago when they tried to fix other related veterancy/stacking bugs. Thanks elchino7, I was definitely confused by them saying it too. In: COH2 Gameplay
