Thread: Why is IS2 so godly, and tiger is so shitty?19 Jan 2014, 08:32 AM ^ Fair enough, but late game nowadays is panther and tiger swarm. ZiS get one-shotted and SU-85s are made of cotton wool. And the call-in tanks get mauled. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is IS2 so godly, and tiger is so shitty?18 Jan 2014, 17:49 PM Just lost 2 IS2's. First one went down to a panther / shreks and the second to a dug in 88 (or whatever it is) and a panther. The IS2 was well-supported but it's armour sucks. It's not a breakthrough tank like the Tiger. As Ferrozoica says, it's currently configured as a 120-tonne sniper. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 216 Jan 2014, 16:15 PM Blitz mod commander system looks a bit too convoluted to me... the fan created one on the CoH2 landing page, otoh, is awesome. In: Lobby
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 215 Jan 2014, 20:27 PM * shrugs * everyone wins. Those of us who like driving our realistic toy armies around pay money and the alleged P2W DLC becomes less central to the funding model. In: Lobby
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 215 Jan 2014, 20:08 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2014, 19:38 PMNoun The issue with infantry skins is that those units are very small relative to the game. We had to do a lot of colour work to make sure that they're visible against the ground, so that you're not always losing your infantry units. Yes, I appreciate that, there will always have to be a compromise between visibility and 'realism.' With respect, I think you might be underestimating the viability of infantry skins. There is precedent here... I give you Total War: Empires. Jesus, every Napoleonic war freak was buying infantry skins for their armies... there was just stacks of it selling. Just check out Steam. People love this stuff. Do a skin representing the Grossdeutschland Division, late war flecktarn camo units, Guards, Russian AB, marine inf, really gnarly looking penals, make it so that all infantry units wear that skin and watch the drip-drip-drip of money. I don't think a trial would hurt, although of course I don't underestimate the work involved versus risk. In: Lobby
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 215 Jan 2014, 19:16 PM I would pay for realistic infantry skins, not the ones we have now. I'm one of those pedants who cares about shit like that. In: Lobby
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 214 Jan 2014, 21:55 PM Therefore, I suggest there should be a lot more different kind of light vehicles. QFT. Make the early game light vehicle roster bigger, make it like ToV where you could choose which one you put in your building. Like Schwimm or MC or T17 or Greyhound. Make it free and make it interesting. A MG-armed Kubel, for example, to play the role of jeep and a funky little BA64 for the Sovs, no carry capacity, just a Red version of the Axis AC. In: Lobby
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 214 Jan 2014, 19:00 PM I don't have problems with moderators having issues with the game. They are there to moderate, not be Relic auxiliaries. In: Lobby
Thread: Strategy in Company of Heroes 214 Jan 2014, 17:15 PM ^ Greeb, I agree with your point re. infantry... but I definitely remember Quinn Duffy saying they wanted to reflect brutality and carnage. And make the game get going quicker. So those were two design decisions that were deliberate. I find the first more onerous than the second and I liked that in vCoH a no-armour build was viable in a way it never will be in CoH2. As for Inverse, I have a lot of time for the effort he's put into vCoH and agree with easily half of what he's saying and glad he wrote it. However, I can't agree with the "make all the DLC free." The DLC ain't over-priced, it supports CoH2 in the long-run and the non-DLC commanders are viable. Disclaimer: Windustry and Elite CheeSSe commanders need thwacking with the nerf bat. They undermine much of my point and I am aware of it. However, now they've been around a while they aren't the game-breaker they were. In: Lobby
Thread: Why is IS2 so godly, and tiger is so shitty?13 Jan 2014, 20:22 PM It's easy for me to see both factions are balanced: whichever one I play I get spanked, pwned, eviscerated. So they are equal MVGame In: COH2 Balance
