Thread: Panzergrenadiers underperforming (with video proof)10 Apr 2015, 07:46 AM Flamethrower definetely doesn't have more DPS or performance unless you consistently roll crits than the Panzergrenadier squad. In: Lobby
Thread: What about su-76?9 Apr 2015, 22:53 PM SU-76's main gun performs fine in my opinion. The barrage ability takes too long to recharge, and at half cooldown I feel it would be pretty effective. It really has no reason to kill Panzer IVs. What should kill medium tanks while being smaller than them is the Stug. That thing is purely anti-tank and its worse in every way than M10.

Thread: Ask the Strategist!9 Apr 2015, 21:18 PM How do you deal with M8A1 and Priest as OKW? When these are well microed, they brutalize me. Pak43 can deal with the former but I'm absolutely clueless on what to do with the latter. It seems all I can do is to parry the damage, hope that nothing else is attacking me and that a lucky shell won't fall on my Sturmpioneers repairing whatever HQ it is. And a follow up question: How do you use them effectively? I rarely play Infantry Company and I can't recall a single instance where a Priest was particularly impressive under my command. I know about putting other units in for creeping barrage and leaving the thing when not firing it, but how do I get the best out of it? Same for M8A1, when I use it it blows up really easily.

Thread: [Feedback requested] - balancing issues in large team games9 Apr 2015, 21:12 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2015, 19:50 PMAlexzandvar If you want to mess around with resource income just do this: -Limit amount of caches that can be built by each player to 1 fuel and 1 muni -Luftwaffe supply call in's only give 66% fuel to OKW players and 80% munitions -Caches don't stop decapping of points, if an enemy caps the point that has a cache they get the caches income -Upper limit on fuel income, you cannot have more than 40 as Ost, USF or Soviet, and no more than 26 as OKW. Why do something so convoluted? Just do the second, and then remove any and all income OKW gets from them. They have salvage for a reason. If you think Salvage and resource conversion are too underpowered to make up for that, buff them. OKW can't build caches for a reason and in team games that reason does not exist. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergrenadiers underperforming (with video proof)9 Apr 2015, 20:33 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2015, 16:09 PMAlexzandvar Most engagements happen at long or close range, there are 4 units with assault rifles in this game and none of them are Allies. What incentive is there for an Allied player to sit in the Pgrens perfect target zone when they excel at either long range with para LMG or rifle 1919's or ass hugging range in the case of shocks? Fun fact, Shock PPSh doesn't drop off until 10 range in performance while Panzergrenadier Stgs do it at 5 range. In: Lobby
Thread: The Mortar Thread9 Apr 2015, 18:06 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2015, 18:00 PMPanzerGeneralForever I understand that katy dies very fast. So does the Pwerfer. You can still see the Pgrens before they get close enough to nade and finish with small arms fire. Im just saying that its the other guys fault for leaving his katy next to an unguarded flank. If even one unit was covering the flank moving the Katy wouldnt be a problem. Smal arms fire hardly bothers Panzerwerfer as it has like twice the armor. I do think that 160 health is too litle for either though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Mortar Thread9 Apr 2015, 16:01 PM I think that the German mortar is the most cost effective one, while 120mm is the most annoying. Like it's so random, and if it lands at the wrong place it will hurt a lot. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Para Support Squad9 Apr 2015, 13:32 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2015, 13:05 PMKatitof Bazooka paras come still with 1 zooka. And 57mm is useless, because you can't use paras as paras with it. You need to drop it in your base or your territory to not donate it to axis. It doesn't matter how well it performs, as long as it arrives without crew, its liability. Well I do think that team weapons crewed by Paras should be able to reinforce from beacons just like paras themselves. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 Modding: Getting started with the official tools9 Apr 2015, 13:32 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2015, 04:53 AMbrainysmurf So I've made a 4man squad with two different entities. 1 Has a flamethrower, the others have MP-40s. I have an upgrade that gives 3 MP-44s (to replace the MP-40s). How do I ensure the flamethrower doesn't get overwritten? Hello, sorry for the late reply. There are two ways you could go about in doing this. 1. Make your Flamethrower a slot item with a size of 0 and give it to the squad. This will make sure that it won't ever get overwritten in place of MP40 and that it will carry over to other squad members until you do the MP-44 upgrade which will also be slot items, so everyone who dies will take their weapon with them. The squad will of course keep the weapons so once you reinforce, the members will spawn with those weapons. If you've made the flamethrower a droppable item, it will work accordingly to that. 2. The order in which you place entities in your squad loadout determines who gets a slot item first. If the flamethrower entity is below them all, it will not get the MP44s while the squad has 4 members. However the moment anyone dies, the FT will be replaced, so you probably don't want to do this in that manner. Hope this helps. In: Guides
Thread: Para Support Squad9 Apr 2015, 11:14 AM What if they simply got both Zooks and Thompsons for free, and never got LMG? They don't get Tactical Assault anyway, and for what its worth they don't get the timed demo charge either. In: COH2 Gameplay
