Thread: insta kill mines30 Oct 2018, 21:14 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Oct 2018, 21:04 PMinsaneHoshi Because they cost more and ost doesn't get general purpose mines. No instead they get mines that ruin infantry that walk on them as it doesn't apply the supression effect or mines that are strictly AT and are only triggered by vehicles, ergo, they are not wasted by infantry walking over them. That comment doesn't justify their mines being able to one shot light vehicles at all, OST can faust, have a very good AT gun and have Shrecks PLUS a devistating mine, they don't need the mine to be so effective.

Thread: Arty in base25 Oct 2018, 09:31 AM Why is this still even a thing? As UKF you cannot throw arty flares into the enemy base yet you can fire Sextons, priests and stationary arty into enemy bases. So which one is broken, the UKF flares or the rest of the arty pieces? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?3 Jul 2018, 08:05 AM I've spoken about some of these issues months ago, it's sad that they have been ignored for so long and simply been resulted in a seriously gimped UKF: https://www.coh2.org/topic/58650/ukf-snares-how-to-balance 2016 I suggested A LOT of changes that have only just been realised by the comminty balance team and implimented... https://www.coh2.org/topic/48174/latch-s-15-suggestions-to-balance-coh2 UKF are massivley gimped by the lack of a decent CQC unit (non doc), snare and mobile indirect. The huge problem here is that each tool they lack, is availible in a commander which will then gimp one or the other weaknesses that you have. If you go AT tommies you are guaranted to lose any CQC engagements and get ruined by indirect fire as Tommies are best firing at long range behind cover, mobile indirect is the solution to knock tommies out of cover. Giving tommies snares will fix the majority of UKF holes, but then obviously Spec wep will need a change to make it worth investing in. A lack of indirect is a problem but it's not major, a solution to this whilst keeping UKF unique would simply be allowing emplacements to be doconstructed for a % of the price back, that way you are not completely gimped (by pop cap mainly) if you place a mortar pit in a bad spot for the late game. To balance it from being abused, if the emplacement is under any sort of fire, cancel the deconstruct. A better idea that I have seen floating about however is to give UKF a mortar, with poor range but allow them to garrison a Mortor pit emplacement for its range increase In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Map veto stats25 Jun 2018, 15:13 PM I just dont understand why I can't veto all the maps I dont want to play, if I want to sit ina lobby for an hour before a game, let that be my choice. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panzerwerfer 42 Multiple Rocket Launcher25 Jun 2018, 13:11 PM The closer they are the more devestaing the barrage is, it only takes 1 shot to kill so it sounds like they were a higer level than the victim to even be able to get the barrage off from that range. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: UKF got beat with the nerf hammer (again).8 Jun 2018, 16:13 PM Correct me if I'm wrong but commandos feel almost required now and that's just so you can abuse the cheese camo-nade strat. That is until OKW get obers with IR's or an IR HT then its simply GG. I've not played enough this patch to fully appreciate the nerfs/buffs(?) but off the bat I struggle a hell of a lot more in infantry engagements. Late games really show the UKF weakness however, so much yellow cover that obers go toe to toe with an MG and win without so much as a sniff of suppression, or volks walk up to it and flame nade it, your crom/FF/Cent get penned by AT guns consistently and 1 faust can ruin your day, then the FF fails to pen but if you go AT guns to up your chances, Stuka/Werfer with flares/searchlight says hi. It's relentless, you're always on the back foot trying to counter a counter that is then countered by something that.. has no counter! Least this is my recent exp from 3v3 games. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: Royal artillery26 May 2018, 13:03 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2018, 11:05 AMCrecer13 The fact that the artillery fire can not be used without the fog of war is very stupid. Yes, this commander has lighting shells. But I repeat several times - This commander has a bug that the lighting shells are not working. But all do not care. The thing that infuriates me the most with this inability is that if the axis were to build an arty piece or the soviets, they can fire into the FOW... This doctrine should allow the howitzers to fire into the FOW but remove the airburst if it proves to powerful. On some maps the arty doesn't even have range anyway so =/ In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What's with the raks stealth?18 Apr 2018, 21:04 PM A stealthed AT gun is ridiculous the way it has currently been done, stealthing over and on red cover? Why is that a thing? Is there any reason at all why it can't act like other stealthed units and be required to move from cover to cover in order to retain its stealth? Why does the rak need to be a special snowflake?

Thread: Mortars/Indirect have broken the game8 Mar 2018, 17:54 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2018, 17:28 PMZombiFrancis True, but remember as an allied faction you're virtually immune to your own artillery. Mortars and nades deal friendly fire, but artillery barely does if you're an allied faction. Drop that arti and push right in as it makes you nice yellow cover for your advancing infantry. A direct friendly fire artillery shot deals less than a gren bullet. Fixed in the patch, friendly fire arty hurts now, even if it didn't, it's an awful solution to a problem of an over performing mortar... In: COH2 Balance
