Thread: The T 34 problem3 Jun 2013, 09:54 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jun 2013, 06:54 AMNullist Ostwind: 400MP/100Fuel T34: 280MP/75Fuel hurp. Ostwind is a soft anti-inf , hard antivehicle , anti aircraft unit its cost is a just a bit higher than it should be if not well placed , the fact that it is an anti tank unit as well is completely idiotic . On the t34 ''problem'' make the t34 as strong as it was before the end of the closed beta ,cost the ram at 50 munis and disable the fanction permanently as well as temporarilly as soon as there is an engine crit (you ll also need a difference between grensquads and t34 in pop cost ). Other than that if you know you can cancel ram with a faust and you send your heavy tank in without infantry support , you frankly deserve to loose it . In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Most important problem of soviet is 'Doctrine dependency'30 May 2013, 18:27 PM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2013, 17:59 PMCrells Completely agree with you kafrion. but imo in 1v1s it is better to go for a guards doctrine because flamer half tracks will eat at guns alive which makes you have to go quite passive. (forgive me if everything revolves around the flame track but 90% of germans i face in 1v1s go flametrack) In 2v2s and up i tend to go with shock troops alot more as isu152s are just amaazing late game. I see what y mean , there is flametrack phobia of shorts ( lets hope they ll nerf it a bit ) , a good way though not always completely reliable one to predict whether a fast flametrack is coming is if your opponent has upgraded any flamethrowers or lmgs . I agree that atg vs flametrack can become nasty but so far i ve dealt with it either by luring it to a mine esp in pripiyat or with oorah+at nade then finish with the atg (thats why its important to determine whether you have a fast flametrack or not ) . First you take away the mobility then the hp , but i have not yet played this version of the beta yet so maybe the crits from nades have changed a bit . Next time you go for a schock doctrine try the one with the IS2 its great since you never have to tech to t4 and you get very cool abilities and the atg+kv8+T34 combo which is incredibly powerful midgame (+ that you can counter pak walls with the ''napalm'' strike ), oh the hordes of pgrens i ve roasted In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Most important problem of soviet is 'Doctrine dependency'30 May 2013, 16:15 PM Unless your playing the ppsh + guaards doctrine you should go for 3 cons and then asses the situation depending on what your opponent has built . Other than that soviet doctrines have a certain way they are played early on so if you go for a doc with schock troops , you should get at nades then t1 and 1 schocktroops squad and proceed to tech for t2 fast and react from there remember at any time you can get an m3/cons/2nd schock to reinforce against inf spam otherwise get the at gun quickly . If you go for guards doctrine (ppsh doctr excluded ) go for 3 cons then t1 then guards then m3 . Guards with m3 + at nades can counter everything from Ost t2 . In: COH2 Balance

Thread: This game needs side-armour!11 May 2013, 10:13 AM Jump back to quoted post10 May 2013, 02:18 AMTychoCelchuuu Hello Quinn! Any chance you could reply to the question about why side armor rewarded attackers? I'm still super unclear on how that works. i am confused about this as well , there was side armor in coh wasnt there , how come we had no problems there ? Anyway i had no problems facing the front side of armor on most occasions , only problem i can think of is cause of some of the tanks insane ( or ridiculous ) range which will result in side armor hits even if there is the slightest of relative angle between the two objects , anyway most of my problems in armored combat came from ranhdom criticals but atm flanking is very unrewarding . One possible solution would be to split the tank in 4 areas , 2 of 120 degrees regarding frontal and back armor and 2 of 60 degrees of side armor essentiatially connecting the frontal and back armor (perhaps the number of degrees will have to be altered for each tank model depending on the size and shape of it .

Thread: 4 things that would make CoH2 instantly better6 May 2013, 22:24 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2013, 21:58 PMDeeptrance83 You say "punished" as though Relic were going out of their way to spank you on the bottom for winning the game. Perhaps you view punishment in comparison to the way you've played the original for 7 years...but this isn't a remake of the original. It's a new game...it's a different game. It's not going to be the same and I wouldn't want to buy it if it had all the same mechanics of the original. I didn't feel like I was ever being "punished" during my winning matches in the beta... They went out of their way to make the game more punishing for the better player and more forgiving for the worse , thats why we have the new fixed pop , the new mp income system , the lack of frontal armor , the vast superiority and lack of micro for supertanks and many other things i wont bother explaining . And whats all that idiocy about the differentiation between coh and coh2 ?? As if truesight,coldtech,vet,different units(usage) and a truckload of other things were not enough we had to have more change for its own shake . The new mp-resource-pop system is just not good it takes a lot of the strategy out of the game and it makes comebacks a matter of routine defeating its own purpose of making the game more exciting and since it evens out skill difference it places more importance on faction/commander balance issues aka the guy with the big tank doctrine wins.

Thread: Six Generals Heat vs One General Winter = unfair fight?6 May 2013, 20:55 PM TBH , i think that blizzards that are harsher with the exception of retreating men dying with adequate time between warning and starting , those six ways to counter and fixed duration will perhaps create more room for good players to shine In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Hit the dirt!3 May 2013, 00:10 AM This doctrine is not a no brainer choice by any means whatsoever for 3 reasons . 1 it can get countered by all the support weapons costeffectively so its vulnerable to heavy t1 play 2 if you dont take a very big advantage in the early game , enough to guarantee you 2 t34s and a su85 , or a su85 + su76 spam your kinda screwd . 3 Grens scale better than cons with vet so the advatage will gradually shift towards the krauts as the game progresses The only reason its so good is because most people havnt learned their units well enough yet while that kind of play resembles vcoh's bared rifles heavy flanking play so people playing in that style know what they are doing a lot better than their opponents .
