Thread: Flak HQ truck lost ability to select target11 Sep 2018, 10:44 AM Considering how much it costs and how important it is it makes sense to be able to manually aim it. It was a very useful feature and rewarded players who were able to micro their truck whilst they were being attacked. In: Lobby
Thread: Flak HQ truck lost ability to select target9 Sep 2018, 19:49 PM I can't remember which stream it was, but if they are all on youtube then it will be there somewhere. It had the feature while Relic were still making patches, via Brad. Because Relic never make it clear the truck could do that, I think people assumed it couldn't and never tried it, which is why the tactic of distracting its fire whilst other units attacked it always worked so well. I guess if virtually no one knew about it then there's no point in bringing it back. In: Lobby
Thread: Flak HQ truck lost ability to select target9 Sep 2018, 19:10 PM It did have it, no one (including me) knew it did until Brad casually mentioned that it did during one of the Relic streams. My best guess is that it was accidentally removed when the anti-air fire mode was added, and because no one knew the feature was there no one noticed it had been lost. In: Lobby
Thread: Flak HQ truck lost ability to select target9 Sep 2018, 16:21 PM It has been like this for awhile now, does anyone know why the ability to select which unit the flak truck shoots at was removed? If there isn't a reason then maybe it could be added back in with this patch. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch9 Sep 2018, 14:10 PM I think the best hope for the M42 is to either make it both AT and AI, via being able to switch between AT rounds and canister shot, which would make it a very unique and interesting unit. Or to give it useful late game abilities so it can be used to support other AT units in the late game. The issue with the latter is making sure it is balanced, so the abilities would have to be unlocked at vet 2 or 3 or perhaps when a certain tier building has been built. They are clearly trying hard to make the M42 viable so I'm sure we'll see some interesting stuff in the next mod update. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch8 Sep 2018, 13:28 PM It might be worth giving the cav riflemen the assault engineer models, or maybe half and half. Something to make them a bit more distinctive. In: Lobby
Thread: A personal note: this the last 'GCS' tournament.8 Sep 2018, 13:22 PM I think we all discovered just how totally dedicated you are to COH2 when we saw that download finish mid casting. Rather than make excuses and go and watch your...ahem, video, you stayed and cast the rest of the match. #Professionalism #DedicationToTheEnd #COH2ComesFirst Well done for all the amazing work you did with GCS! The huge amount of contributions from the community show how much support you rallied together. It's clear those thousands of hours you invested into it have created something incredible that everyone is enjoying to the fullest. I really love watching matches that are cast by you and Stormless, because they are always hugely entertaining and also very insightful. IMO there hasn't been such a perfect pairing and dynamic between two casters since Ami and Ipkai. That's just one more reason why I'm really looking forward to watching the GCS finals! Well done again for all the incredible time and passion you put into GCS it has absolutely paid off already and we haven't even seen the final yet! In: GCS Discussion
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch8 Sep 2018, 01:02 AM Feedback as of v1.3 US *ARMOUR COMPANY* This commander is a lot better than it was, it's more viable thanks to the improvements made, especially to the M10. * 105mm Bulldozer is more consistant and useful * Assault engineers are good, personally I'd like to see them also be able to build sandbags so they can help other infantry * M10 feels a lot more useful now and thanks to the abilities it's now useful vs tanks and inf Now that assault engineers have demo charges it would be a good time to change demo charges so that they can destroy decrewed support weapons with a single charge. So that the demo charge actually has a useful role, perhaps lower the price to 45. MECHANIZED COMPANY As of version 1.3 this commander is superb! * WC-51 is a lot of fun to use and is a really interesting unique unit that is fun to have and make full use of * Cavalry riflemen are a really fantastic addition to this commander and make it so much more viable to use in 1vs1 onwards, especially thanks to their sticky bomb * The other units and abilities go really well and all together make a really solid commander Really fantastic job with this commander! If this version makes it into the patch the US will have a really fun solid commander that is always worth having. If people think the commander has too many units I would recommend getting rid of the M3 and mortar half-track. You can easily lose those and it will still be a really excellent commander. BRITS Providing the Brits with AT nades is a huge universal improvement and makes them a lot more fun to play as. *BRITISH ARTILLERY* Not many big changes with this one. I don't really think it would be worth using in 1vs1s but now it's more solid for team games. * The Valentine is a lot better and is a fun unit to use *TACTICAL SUPPORT* This commander feels like it's for team matches, so again, not likely to be used in 1vs1s. But now it's better for team games. The improvements to the Crocodile help make other commander more viable so that's a really useful bonus. SOVIETS *NKVD RIFLE DISRUPTION TACTICS* This commander feels really good as of 1.3 * Commissar is really good it's a fun unit to use and the abilities make it a really interesting commander * Scorched Earth is great and another fun ability to use * If the KV8 could be swapped for a KV1 this would instantly become a really solid and fun 1vs1 and up commander. I can't stress enough how much I think the should be swapped! crosses fingers URBAN DEFENSE TACTICS I really like the improvements made to this commander, and the attempts to make the M42 useful (please increase the cloaked movement speed). At the moment it's still only going to be useful for team games, perhaps swap the incendiary call-in for the KV8, which would fit with the idea of making and holding forward HQs and would help with late game armour. OKW *ELITE ARMOUR* Again, no big changes but the improvements made to the abilities have really helped this commander. * The Sturmtiger feels better and more useful I'm looking forward to seeing what you replace Signal Relay with. *OVERWATCH* I really love the changes to this commander, this is another commander who, as of 1.3, is really solid and if this version makes it into the patch it would always be one of my picks. * Being able to booby trap points with Jaegers feels perfect for the commander style Really great job! WEHR *DEFENSIVE DOCTRINE* This is a really fun interesting commander. They don't really have much for the late game, but the early stuff and sector artillery make them a really fun commander to use and one I'd certainly try and use regularly in 1vs1s. *GERMAN INFANTRY* This commander feels more like a gimic than anything. I can't really see it ever being used in 1vs1 or even team games. Overall I'm hugely impressed by the patch mod so far, there are so many really excellent improvements and additions. Great work and really well done to everyone working on it so far! In: Lobby
Thread: Commander Revamp Patch - Bug List7 Sep 2018, 20:58 PM The shortcut key for placing the Scorched Earth trap is the same key used to reinforce. So ideally that needs to be changed. In: Lobby
