Thread: The Company of Heroes 2 Veterancy Guide22 Dec 2015, 22:37 PM A moment of silence.... This is a list of units that no longer exist. These units served the CoH2 Essence Engine, and us players very well, and will NEVER be forgotten. Partisan Troops - Rifles Never speak ill of the dead, eh? In: Guides

Whether this is intentional or not is hard to determine. At this point in CoH2's life, it's an esoteric feature for the knowledgeable elite to guard: knowing the utility of which bulletins to use and stack. (This type of mindset seems to be geared towards the CoH2 community, as most of us have learned that all ingame info/tooltips is going to be inaccurate, even misleading at this point.) It can be rough for new players that don't know about this site or watching broadcasts/replays While true, I don't think I've ever seen a multiplayer game wherein the game itself sufficiently mentions the nuances and technicalities of the game for all players to realize easily. There's always a lot for players to only know of after a lot of experience and accidents, or going to a larger community to query about. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Minesweeper switch for all factions22 Dec 2015, 04:57 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 03:36 AMMistah_S I've barely used minesweeper in game - what happens when you actually come across mines? Do they just appear and disappear again? Can you blow them up? Eeer, no thanks, as if I dont have enough things to micro You'll want them when you see an opponent that uses the things, trust me. They'll spot mines within a sight range (pretty sure it's lower than their full sight), and without other orders overriding them, the sweeper will do a bit of work to remove them. Pretty sure invisible mines become safe and won't blow up while the sweeper can see them, but Wehrmacht S-Mines and demo charges can still be set off by walking through them and the enemy player's input respectively.

Thread: Relic please change the kubel22 Dec 2015, 04:52 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2015, 02:40 AMMistah_S I would disagree. If I can't use the suppress function of the Kubel, I should be able to use it for other purposes. Otherwise, It'll be as useful as the Panzer ELite's kittenkarad in vCoH Kettenkrads couldn't shoot.

Thread: Why Does OKW Still Have Salvage?22 Dec 2015, 04:35 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Dec 2015, 04:34 AMStorm267 for this to work, okw fuel cost would have to go back down and the vet 4-5 on affected vehicles would need to go back up. Well, yes and no. Certainly, I don't think the heightened fuel costs on OKW tanks have hit the mark, and they wouldn't be necessary with a penalty applied to building them again (though I think it's clear OKW versions of vehicles are superior in ways over the Wehrmacht ones that justify a higher price, though not as severe as the +15 and +25 of the OKW PIV and Panther over Wehrmacht's). Otherwise though, I am generally satisfied by the current vet 5 performance of OKW units, but it remains clear that overall their units need a reduction in XP requirements for their ranks. Thus, the OKW's penalties (bear in mind I think the cumulative penalties should only approach the former 66% when a player's army is largely filled out, so at this point there should be a good amount of vet going in one's army to make the penalty bearable and if not, the penalties must have been reduced frequently due to your losses) and potency would be flattened from their original concept, while the ease of obtaining that potency would be reduced. I also wondering if retroactive resource penalties would be an appropriate way to balance out OKW's "free" healing, repairing and flak cannon from purchasing their tiers (speak not of the Americans, theirs is easy - don't give them the units for free. They don't even have to make costs for the units, there's already current ones for them for building replacements). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Why Does OKW Still Have Salvage?20 Dec 2015, 19:38 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2015, 18:05 PMferwiner What if okw had fuel maintance just like all factions have manpower maintance? This would mean that the longer the game goes and the stronger okw becomes the lower their fuel income is. It wouldnt also kill their early game like previous system did. The income penalty would be constant and set for every vehicle on the field. Would also create new possible interesting resource management strategies. This would be also historically accurate: it would show that ardenne army had supplies at the beginning but these started to weaken with every day of battle. Something similar could also be done for munitions and weapon upgrades to prevent shreck spamming. Nyyyyyyeeeeeerrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh, that's exactly what was kicking around in my head as a theorycraft to keep OKW's unique penalty while alleviating the issues with it - cause a penalty to fuel/munition income while vehicles or upgrades are on the field based on the pop/cost/whatever. This would limit OKW's vehicle and upgrade counts while simultaneously not preventing replacements (though they would still be delayed over everyone else's), allowing more non-upgrade munition expenditures (of which the OKW's are hardly potentially more potent for their cost over everyone else's unlike vet 5 units) and of course, justifying vet 5 on units.

Thread: Why Does OKW Still Have Salvage?20 Dec 2015, 17:55 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2015, 17:41 PMTheMachine Trading caches for Salvage is interesting and adds a bit of flavour, but I think being able to Salvage Support weapons is silly. It's such a strong tool to deny weapons that you otherwise wouldn't want to due to having less than 3 squad members, no wanting to drop 3 models off the squad or not wanting to waste the pop cap. Salvaging wrecks is cool, but denying weapons so easily seems like an unfair advantage. Or at least, maybe only Sturmpioneers should be able to Salvage, why are Volks and Jaegers able to Salvage? Conscripts, Grenadiers and Riflemen can't build caches, only their engineers. (With the exception of Brits, for some reason, Infantry Sections build Caches instead of Royal Engineers. That makes no sense to me.) I personally did think it was a lot less interesting with tons of their infantry being able to do it as well. Makes it a bit too much "Allies lost something, now OKW gets free resources suckers". Would be more interesting with a much more limited amount of infantry being able to salvage, with the gains tweaked accordingly. In: COH2 Balance
