I have yet to watch the replay in question yet but plan to do it when I get a chance but from my experience of playing the US, the M1919 MG's are one of the few things that make the US riflemen decent late game. I find riflemen with Bar's melt in the face of German para's, Obersoldaten, MG42/G43 grenadiers or mass Panzerfusilers with G43 late game and I need to use this doctrine with the m1919's to keep riflemen useful late game imo.
Also as other posters have said when set-up they make prime targets for mortars, grenades, flak halftracks and the like. Saying that I will watch this replay and comment again later. |
I'm just about to reinstall vCoH to give this mod a try so I'm speaking from opinion compared to experience of playing the mod (at present). Personally I'd love to see the snipers matched up with how they work in CoH 2 currently with stealth only working while in cover (especially as they cost less in vCoh) but I think this would upset a lot of vCoh die-hard's even though players regularly use snipers without the stealth ability.
If I'm being honest though, all the suggested changes are a step in the right direction compared to the last vCoh patch. |
Babaroga, I'm not here to debate the meaning of big. Obviously you and noun have different definitions of the word.
But that's what it is. You may not care for ToW, but their stats say a lot of players are playing it, so yes, it's big news for a lot of people.

Oh common, there is only one true Predator quote: ''GET TO THA CHOPPA''!!
The whole film is full of classic quote's "Knock Knock". |
You guys all noob.
Mud has been introduced to prepare for the next DLC commander : the Predator.
Only one counter : mud.
This post amused me .. need an Arnie quote quickly: "You're one... *ugly* motherf****r!" |
This is just a computer game .. don't take it so seriously. If you are interested in history then read critical works on it, don't rely on CoH 2 to give you historical facts.
As other posters have said, we know all nations involved took part in war crimes in one way or another from vast atrocities to isolated incidents and nobody can compare with Germany's "final solution" but let's not pretend Russia particpation wasn't anything like that. Stalin and Beria's NKVD in particular did plenty of horrible things, a lot of it to their own population. |
The German AT gun needs to be cheaper for a start, it has less crew and no barrage ability, I feel like I'm throwing away manpower whenever I purchase a Pak especially as you are usually fighting against multiple Soviet vehicles nowadays rather than 1 and because German AT mines are so expensive (but that's another issue!) It's killed so easily as it tends to miss it's long range shot before getting off 1 or 2 hits before the tank/vehicle is on it and killing the crew as they so slowly adjust the gun to try and get another hit in.
Saying that I also think the Russian AT gun needs to be cheaper as well (maybe less so). AT guns just aren't that intimidating because they miss so much and unlike CoH where you can effectively counter tanks with AT guns & mines - I just don't find that is as effective in CoH 2, at the moment the best way to counter tanks is with other tanks which is why most games (I only play 1v1)seem to be a rush to tech to vehicles. |
The way I see it is .. the core of the game is still there for people at the pricey cost of £0 extra, the patches are the most important part of making the game better going forward and cost nothing, they are even adding in free maps and the odd commander for nothing as well.
All these people bitching about pay to win commanders, in my experience they can all be beat with the standard commanders and if they do have anything that is too good or unfair, it'll get fixed in the next patch. As for the cost .. £4 a commander isn't very steep in my world, I regularly waste that on a pint in a night out, the pint will be lucky to last me 30 mins to an hour (value for money?). Bottom line is: if you don't want the extra content then don't pay for it.
Personally I'm just pleased by how regularly the game is being patched and updated.

Considering they cost 80 munitions, they really need to remove the "my mine field is here" signs. |
I'm Spartacus!! Oopps, I mean the Bearded Oaf ;-) |
I must say this something I would like to see as well, I imagine it'll be added around the same time as the leaderboards. Hopefully they add another 1 or 2 decent 1v1 maps in into the rotation asap as well.
I can handle the odd game on Moscow Outskirts but Pripyat in Winter is just such a campy map and hardly ever turns out to be an enjoyable match. The summer version was at least a little better with the VP spread! |
