Thread: Blobbing....Risk VS Reward12 Jun 2015, 10:05 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jun 2015, 09:59 AMIntelligence209 For those of you that are listing counters, yes I know them already. My point is, is that blobbing shouldn't control the game what so ever, I shouldn't have to pick a commander because my enemy is blobbing. Brummbars, love that thing, tho it has horrible pathing, unit acts like it's size profile is twice as much. Anyways, just finding myself in every game being a blobb fest, it's horrible. Uh... why not? Do you not normally wait for your opponent to show their hand before picking a commander? Every commander is effective against certain playstyles, and countered by others. Blobbing is a playstyle, whether it's effective or not. No matter what playstyle your opponent favors, you should be picking a commander that counters it. It sounds to me like your main complaint is that you can't use every commander for every situation. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Blobbing....Risk VS Reward12 Jun 2015, 08:54 AM A blob will always lose to a well-managed force of equal value. There's no way in hell that five squads standing out in the open all in one little group and completely incapable of effectively dodging a nade can beat five squads that actually operate independently. Let them blob, I say. If the blob beats your force in a fight, then they probably would beat you even harder as a group of well-managed squads. And that's why I don't have a problem with blobbing. It's not the blob that beats you, it's your opponents strategic superiority in having a larger force at that location than you. You should be happy if your opponent blobs. Get in cover, throw some nades, and you'll probably win every engagement. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: No tech demo just poor design.11 Jun 2015, 23:50 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2015, 22:08 PMRupert Good luck with that. Maybe a replay or ELO would help verify mass sturmpio strat. Uh... what? Replays or didn't happen. Unless the total investment in sturmpio is double that of shocks. I wouldn't call two or three "mass," exactly. I find them to be very helpful supporting my volks, as they keep rifles, cons, and penals from closing effectively (less so against flamers, but still helpful). I also use a lot of mines, wire, and general defenses and it's nice to not have to do it all with one squad. If they manage to pick up a shreck they're even like discount pgrens. As for the Shocks v. Sturms thing, many people don't seem to realize that Sturms are best kept at a sort of in-between short-medium range instead of full on in-your-face gangbanging action. If I have Sturms stationary shooting on Shocks as they advance (which Shocks must do to be effective), then they'll easily force the squad to retreat before they can close. If the Shocks don't retreat, then my Sturms now have a numerical advantage and have a good chance of wiping the squad in close quarters. All the green cover laying around makes them even more effective. I don't have a replay lying around, but I'll see if I can get a match on Stalingrad as OKW and hopefully the other guy will go for Shocks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehrmacht has to many "get out of jail free" abilities11 Jun 2015, 23:35 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2015, 21:46 PMaaa In late game you have lots munitions. Saving tanks for such a low price and with no skill 1 button press is absurd. And free repair is absurd too, gives advantage to the player who have more tanks. First off, by definition it can't be "free" if it costs munitions, no matter how many munitions you have you're still paying for it. Second, OH has plenty to spend munitions on. When I play OH I use my muni on mines, bunkers, and LMGs, not to mention nades and fausts. It isn't easy to have a muni stash saved up at all times, unless you're intentionally saving for a big call in. A smart player will be cautious with his tanks and use his muni on improving his strategic position, instead of escaping from bad tactical ones. Also free repair? I don't think OH gets free repair, and I don't think OKW has smoke on their armor. With regards to he OKW "free" repair, it costs 200 MP and 40 fuel. You can build an engineer, park it in your base, and have "free" repair for 40 fuel less. If your USF you don't even have to do that, because every tank comes with its own squad of actually free repairmen. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: No tech demo just poor design.11 Jun 2015, 20:27 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2015, 11:08 AMRupert Sound point..... its as if the Soviets time-traveled to 21st century and learned IED crafting from Iraq or something So 640 MP + Minesweeper cost to counter 90 munition on-control mine that can effectively counters every single type of unit save aircrafts.... Very well balanced imo Whenever I play OKW I tend to have at least two, often three Sturms anyways, and if they aren't with my main force then they usually travel in pairs. It's not 640MP + sweepers to counter 90 muni, its 640MP + sweepers that are an effective base of fire, guard against enemy assault troops, and as an added bonus counter any traps my enemies have set. I love Stalingrad when I play OKW against SU because they always go Shocks, and my Sturms just wipe the floor with them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: No tech demo just poor design.11 Jun 2015, 01:05 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2015, 23:25 PMdaspoulos How will they detect it if their sweepers are put away? You could have two Sturms operating together, but only one with the sweeper. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: No tech demo just poor design.10 Jun 2015, 22:02 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2015, 15:20 PMdaspoulos The attack cursor certainly does appear for all standard infantry, but no sweeper pios and sturmpios cannot shoot demo charges they will always try to disarm them. If your Sturms have their sweepers stashed will they still try to disarm? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: No tech demo just poor design.10 Jun 2015, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2015, 12:43 PMRupert I think the bigger issue is that they can still wipe the squad that's fricking detecting it. It needs to be easily destroyed IF DETECTED, at range without having to sacrifice the sweeping unit. Just shoot it. You can even shoot mines if you're so inclined. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T-34 needs a buff10 Jun 2015, 08:13 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2015, 06:05 AMZyllen For the record mate im done discussing the t-34 in real life. But if you are going to enter a debate you have to provide a lot more information then just throwing 2 random charts to me without any context. i cannot be bothered to look up this university. and why should i do your work! you want to discuss this with me do so by p,m. LOL! and WTF . Honestly it looked to me like he had a sound argument. Sure his English wasn't very good but it certainly wasn't incomprehensible. Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2015, 07:50 AMJohnnyB Call me biased but I honestly see no good reason for which T34/76 needs a buff. It is a very nice AT mine. In: COH2 Balance
