Thread: Those stupid leiG spam21 Sep 2015, 23:31 PM I'd have to say that artillery is definitely "king of the battlefield" in the game right now. I've found that if you are outgunned in that department, however, rushing at the crews in an attempt to kill or at least displace them will allow your own to get in position and take some shots, hopefully evening the scales. The problem then means that you will have to perform a highly micro-intensive attack and remain as mobile as possible whilst all he has to do is move his stuff away and try to minimize casualties, but that may be exaggerating. At any rate, I do find it "counter-able" but it is still kind of difficult I guess. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reskin the old factions: Ostheer and Soviets29 Aug 2015, 05:34 AM Yeah our Wehrmacht buddies really need some love. Making infantry units skinnable (AND WORKING IN ONLINE MATCHES PLEASE) would fix the problem perfectly. Since that will probably never happen, they could just take the Volksgrenadiers' models (which are very nicely made and pretty historically accurate) and maybe give them to the Wehrmacht. To differentiate, tone the Wehrmacht's a more olive color (still accurate). I don't see a problem with letting some units in the same faction share models (like grenadiers and MG42 crew members), since the Western Front armies took this indiscretion a step further by letting some units even share the same portrait. The colored symbols will always let you know what is going on, so why not even mix some uniform models and camouflage patterns within units to make for an even more aesthetically pleasing game? As for the big topic of Winter grenadiers, I've never seen those coats before, maybe they are from this picture: I know a lot of guys in Stalingrad ended up getting civilian coats shipped to them or just stole some from the Soviet civilians and military, so maybe that's what Relic went for with the early-mid war German faction, since they do base a lot of their content on the Battle of Stalingrad.

Thread: Is the 3v3 and 4v4 general balance ever going to be fixed?29 Aug 2015, 05:13 AM There is without a doubt no way to competitively balance random 4v4 and 3v3 matches. ThoseDeafMutes pretty much hit everything there is, and these fundamental problems most likely can't be fixed without some really husky changes to many things. One idea might be to make it so both teams are comprised of Allied and Axis factions (or maybe, some sort of mirror-matching where each team is comprised of the same factions to correspond to the opposing, that way each team has the same potential at all stages, emphasizing more teamwork and synergy). However, there still is no way to play team games competitively without 4-manning with some friends (some premade team ladders may not be bad, Relic). You literally never can trust random people on the internet to be competent or at the very least willing to cooperate. If you are familiar with the MOBA-genre games, this same problem exists for the entire community and only compounded with itself from all the frustration, which resulted in "yolo" queuing in ranked matches really living up to its name. On the bright side, my buddies and I never really found Allies to have too much trouble late game. We find it great to mimic the Axis fuel cache spam as the US, where we make an indomitable herd of Shermans and Jacksons and take a joy ride straight to Berlin (or at least their bases).

Thread: Snipers29 Aug 2015, 04:16 AM I've always found snipers to be an interesting idea. At least from my experience in 1v1's, the entire early game will revolve around that fragile unit, and if either side inflicts too much damage (either the sniper dying or the sniper inflicting too many casualties) then the losing player is almost completely out of the game. I personally really like that idea. It makes for an pretty close and interesting game, compared to just basic infantry running around shooting each other, with plenty of time to react (to make sure not so many losses are piling up). Plus, when another sniper is introduced, it makes the game so much more unforgiving and intense. Now instead of being the dominant power, the Wehrmacht sniper cannot engage anyone without having the security of knowing that the Soviet sniper team is somewhere too far away or just shot, and since their team has 2 men in the squad they can afford to be a lot more aggressive since a mess up won’t mean certain death. This means that the balance of power is now shifted to the Red Army player, where before it was to the Wehrmacht. Since the German one comes faster he can probably get to vet 1 relatively early, which now means he will counter the Red Army team, thus swinging the balance of power back to the German player. For me personally, this makes for an interesting battle of micro, in which almost no RNG is really involved, meaning player skill is the only factor. I enjoy the constantly swinging balance of power and therefore aggression, because, basically, at any moment a single round fired could win the game. With all that aside, I can see in team games that the Wehrmacht sniper could be a problem because he can run all along the front getting free kills with no way of safely catching him. Also sniper spam is always really frustrating, maybe our buddies at Relic can put a cap of 1 on them. In: COH2 Balance
