What is up with that recent avalanche of steam quality threads?
Is steam incapable of containing stupid anymore?

I think some people posted the link to coh2.org on steam forums (I did it as well 1-2 times ), now they're all coming over slowly but surely

And tbf not all of the points above are terrible

this is a very old and known bug with the matching system.

If one person uses a PC from 1995 (which I somehow encounter a lot in CoH2 ) and needs 3+ minutes to load the match, there is a chance that the game will crash because the person with the wooden toaster PC cannot "catch up" to the other players.

You might expect now that the potato PC player will get kicked but the exact opposite happens: everyone else will get kicked and then most of the times the team of the potato PC player will get the win, the other one loses.

It sucks and you cant do anything about it unfortunately

The only "tip" I can give you is banning all winter maps. Winter maps take significantly longer to load, hence the chance for this to happen to people with trash computers is significantly higher on them.
It's not really a good tip however cuz it doesnt solve the complete problem and I dont use this tip myself either. I just kinda accepted this shitty bug

For the record, only the Tiger gets a scatter buff with veterancy.
The Pershing and the IS-2 only get accuracy.

oh yeah, did that get changed or something?

anyway then remove the scatter bonuses from Tiger and it should be fine

Also, what (if any) further nerfs do people think would be needed in conjunction with the above?

On top of the CP delays, at least the scatter (not accuracy) bonuses from veterancy have to be removed completely. If not from all tanks, then at least from Tiger(!), Pershing and maybe also IS-2.

This is an issue in all modes, the vet 2 or 3 scatter bonus of the heavies which is between 20% and 50% makes them completely overpowered since the last patch. During the times when Heavy tank scatter was still very inconsistent, these veterancy bonuses made sense but now where that is sorted out, it's basically "Destroy this vet 2 Tiger asap or you will lose all infantry units and lose the game" on many maps. Atm the majority of veterancy 2 shots against inf is either a forced retreat (with a follow-up wipe on retreat) or instant wipe.


I think with the delays and some veterancy changes, heavies could be in a good state. Their vet 0 anti inf performance is already good but with vet it becomes broken.

The USF indirect fire roster faces multiple issues at the moment:

Pakhowitzers are too expensive for 1v1 but in teamgames they are completely OP. The recent patch "nerfed" their autofire scatter which did practically nothing apart from making it harder to predict and dodge, on top of the barrage recharge getting buffed (who asked for this?). Their AoE is still completely ridiculous.

Mortar Halftrack Phosphorus barrage used to be OP but it got completely overnerfed to a point where nobody uses it anymore. It needed a nerf but what did people expect was gonna happen if you apply a ~80-90% damage reduction? A squad can just sit in the phosphorus without moving and will still have around 50% health left at the end.

The t0 mortar has fine stats but the smoke barrage bug makes it a bad choice

Result: Every teamgame is just boring pakhowie gameplay, whereas the unit gets never used in 1v1




There needs to be done something. Pakhowies should perform a lot less cheesy but also become a lot more affordable (~LeIg manpower level) to make them possible to use in 1v1. And the Phosphorus barrage from the MHT needs to be around the middle of where it is now and how it used to be. I dont mind if its locked behind vet1 then or more expensive
