Thread: OKW: Searchlight29 Aug 2015, 03:43 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2015, 02:04 AMpigsoup joke unit in 3v3+. +1 I've always thought it was borderline OP in big games since Allies are the "flank and surprise the superior armor" side but Axis gets a cheap map hack-ish unit that completely stops that? Come on. In big games that drag on OKW almost always buys one with their usual MP float and this really hurts the Allies IMO and is part of the reason why Axis dominates 3v3+ I've always liked the idea of turning it into like the old Recon in Red Alert where the searchlight has a timed ability that just removes a circular chunk of the FOW in it's range briefly. Still useful, but not a constant always on "map hack" type deal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ardennes Assault rewards not in inventory?29 Aug 2015, 03:33 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2015, 02:42 AMRobbie_Rotten You shouldn't. I got those skins for paying 40$, relic better not give them away for free. Lol, when I beat it my first reaction was "Well that was fun... I don't know about $40 fun but enjoyable" First started playing it because I thought the "Officer gives suppression -6%" bulletin might be useful with the new MG42 but then I realized that it was the DLC company. -.- Though I was looking forward to getting the Able Company skins which I find quite snazzy. Anyway, I assume there aren't any conditions for getting the rewards just beating the Campaign? If not then I assume no free skins but at least it was still fun to play it for free since I probably wasn't ever going to fork over the money to buy it haha In: Lobby
Thread: How Can I Counter a Konigstiger with the Red Army?29 Aug 2015, 00:04 AM Mines definitely help, barring that trying to Suicide Oorah a Conscript in for a AT grenade to his rear armor to damage engine and then widdle him down. If you get desperate you can always try going old school and ramming him with a T34 lol Depending on the caliber of player you're playing and the map baiting him into an ambush can be really effective if they are predictably sending the KT to where the action is. I'll usually harass his infantry/VP somewhere else across the map and then set up AT Gun's etc. to hit the KT's side/rear when he comes rolling past. If you can multiple tanks always try to plop one behind the KT to prevent him from reversing out of trouble too. Mostly its a lot of patience; trying to kill and force away supporting troops and knowing when to go all in and go for the kill. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Ardennes Assault rewards not in inventory?28 Aug 2015, 21:18 PM Quick question; I recently played through AA since we have it for free this weekend. I beat it on Standard and got Gold rating and all the the bulletins, skins, etc. showed up at the end but they aren't appearing in my inventory when I try apply them in multiplayer. Do you not get to keep the rewards since we are just playing it for free this weekend? In: Lobby
Thread: what bonuses (exactly) do the ostheer command tank give ?27 Aug 2015, 20:23 PM Elchino summed it up pretty well. They can also be used as a crutch call-in if you're struggling and behind in tech and need to counter a T70/M5 with a call in (though the Mobile Defense Puma is better in that regard) In: Lobby
Thread: MG42 vs Maxim27 Aug 2015, 19:48 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2015, 15:47 PMSnipester The MG42 is amazing and the Maxim is also pretty darn strong now since the recent patch. That being said, my only complaint is that a Maxim can A move into a set up MG42 (that's not in green cover) and win. I've had this happen to me too... its pretty annoying. Relic should rethink the mechanic where HMGs still fire even when pinned. Maxim A-moving into MG42 shouldn't cancel it out and then let other infantry swarm it if the MG42 gets the first burst off. That being said both are in a good place I think. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British Patch 3 Sep27 Aug 2015, 04:44 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2015, 04:02 AMMr. Someguy That's a good point actually, would love for Jason to clear this up. I did assume M6 Mine but that's more of an extraordinary mine in comparison to even the Teller Mine. Personally, I'm hoping that its a Soviet mine clone - cheaper and spammable > Immobilized vehicle for me. Especially since USF bleeds muni out the @$$ as it is already. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Patch 3 Sep27 Aug 2015, 03:22 AM Flame changes will be interesting to see with USF Rifle Company meta and the tendacy for a lot of players to just spam Flamers and ignore BARs. If fire now lingers if you combine that with Rifle spam half the map is going to be on fire In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Patch 3 Sep27 Aug 2015, 00:13 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2015, 19:14 PMTheMux2 Those USF fixes. oh wait there are almost none. Really hope they will release more USF fixes like the mayor arty wich has been broken for more then a year. +1 And the bugged .50 Cal Focus Fire/Weapon Armor, Bugged Rifleman Grenade Wind-up Time, the list goes on. Y U h8 USF relic!? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: how do you counter scavenge doctrine26 Aug 2015, 08:35 AM lolwut indeed 1. Scavenge perk doesn't give extra fuel. 10 Min PZ4? I suggest you play OKW more and try to get that. 2. I like Jaegers but they are hardly god mode. Snipe only procs below 75% health, if you see Jaegers make Field Infirmary a priority and keep your squads topped off; this helps a ton. They also SUCK close range; close distance and they'll run off fast. (Oorah helps with this) 3. Sounds like you are trying to camp in buildings with maxims? Inadvisable if you see Scavenge. Don't blob yourself and it won't hurt that bad... pay attention; the animation is pretty long and easy to avoid with micro. Secondly, OKW can only use it on squads who have been out of combat for a long time; if you pressure your opponent and force him to fight then the cool-down will reset and he can't use it again. 4. Ostwinds means he spent fuel on AI, much better to face than a PZ4 (IMO)! Punish him by getting T34s or Doctrinal armor and getting the armor advantage. There, countered In: COH2 Gameplay
