Thread: Elite Troops Doctrine: Replacing Tiger Ace with King Tiger27 Nov 2015, 17:33 PM Hey folks, as you can read above this would be my suggestion for the remodelled Elite Troops Doctrine. The reason is Relic wants to make this title e-sport ready which is quite a huge step and I enjoy it a lot. The first right move for this doctrine was to change the Elite Troops Training with the Storm Troopers, good work! Because this breaks the idea of vetting units up and getting a bonus for keeping your units alive. The idea of replacing the Tiger Ace with the King Tiger would also fit very well into this approach. The Tiger Ace is very hard to balance. It comes very late is an already vetted Tiger with slightly more hp and more accelaration (as far as I know) and a better coaxial mg. But the worst thing of all is it costs NO FUEL and gives a crippling penalty! This is nonsense in my oppinion becaus it breaks the whole idea of the game. You should be focussed on holding the fuel points to get such a huge killing machine out and you should NOT be punished for waiting so long and hording such an amount of resources. The investment for such a unit should be a strategic decision. In my oppinion it would fit the whole doctrine and the whole game better if you were able to call in a King Tiger with thies Doctrine for the normal price 720 MP and 260 fuel (not exactly sure about the price, I dont go for King Tiger with current OKW, playing only 1v1). This call in could come for lets say 15 CP? But this is debatable! This King Tiger should come with vet0 as every other unit and as an Ostheer unit it should just get 3 levels of vet (so it would be slightly worse than the OKW King Tiger, maybe with other vet levels as the OK one). This would be my suggestion, what do you guys think of it? PS: Besides this would finally resolve the problem with the ugly Tiger Ace skin ;-) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Elite Troops Poll22 Nov 2015, 22:59 PM What about remodelling the Tiger at all? It is still the same as in CoH 1 (correct me if I am wrong) and the same is true for the Panther. Both vehicles look pretty clumsy compared to the beautifull models for the USF, UKF or OKW. Even the old USSR models as the T-34/76 and all the other vehicles look so much better as the Tiger and Panther (and OLD P4). I would say it would suit the game to update at least this very outdated models. And if you wish Relic, make this a buyable package at least. I understand if you have some work with it you want to get paid. But please do somthing about this old odd models! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Reducing the RNG factor for call-in units 8 Nov 2015, 11:50 AM The idea with the MG34 is a really good one because it would underline the unique trade of being something which OST does not have AND it would have the link to the Western Front Armies (in addition the Mobile Defense commander comes from the western front as the description says ). And as you already mentioned they did it to the veteran rifle men and they should do it to the Osttruppen of Mobile Defense as well. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Reducing the RNG factor for call-in units 8 Nov 2015, 10:17 AM Hey, I think call-in units as for example the Osttruppen of the Mobile Defense Doctrine should not have such a RNG factor or a RNG factor at all. In the last game I played with the Mobile Defense Doctrine (in my oppinion the most viable doctrine for OST these days...) I was so lucky and got 2 vet3 Osttruppen which were quite potent right from the start and helped me a lot. My problem with it is it was just pure luck! And there is a huge difference in getting two Osttruppen squads with vet0 or one with vet 0 and one with vet1 and without any LMG or two highly vetted squads as I got. The next thing is the LMG itself on the Osttruppen. Most of the time you wont get one and if you get one the Osttruppen call-in is really good. But this whole luck dependent factor ruins the idea at least for me. Relic says they will go more for the e-sport thing with coh2 which is great in my oppinion. For this they should change such RNG factor at least for call-in units it is just nonsense. My special suggestion for Mobile Defense Doctrine: Give one squad of Osttruppen with a LMG and vet0 and another one with vet1 or 2 for the player all the time. So you know what you get and adjust the cost for this, lets say 475 MP or so (just another suggestion). This would be a better approach for making an e-sports worthy game. This suggestion is not for Mobile Defense only but this is my example right here. For all other RNG based call-ins I would like to see the same. Because it has nothing to do with skill or any tactical decision if you get a highly usefull unit out of such a call in or just a bad deal for your money. I think this is not a good choice even if it makes this call-in units "more fun" for some players. Maybe you read this Relic and have a thougt about it... Cheers, Markja In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Reskin the old factions: Ostheer and Soviets28 Aug 2015, 12:19 PM One thing which crossed my mind. Why not giving the Ostheer/Wehrmacht a Panther Ausf. D and the OKW a Panther Ausf. A (which it is right now) or Ausf. G. But a rework of the whole model and especially the drive train would be nice. This segment is not correct at all, same is true for the Tiger 1. This setting of the different Ausf. D vs. A/G would represent the differences of the two german factions very well. Ostheer/Wehrmacht which represents the Germans in the mid of the war and the OKW at the very end. Additionally you would not have the exact same unit in two factions. It would be a nice touch for this good game. Just a quick thought. Greetings In: Lobby
Thread: Reskin the old factions: Ostheer and Soviets28 Aug 2015, 11:17 AM Dear Relic, at first, great job in skinning the new units of the new factions in CoH2, the OKW, USF and UKF. All of these factions have great skins for their infantry and vehicles. But if I have a look on the skins for the release factions, the Ostheer/Wehrmacht and the Soviets I think most of their vehicles and infantry skills fall (far) behind the skins of the added factions. They do not have the details and the crisp texture. This is a bit sad because I think this factions also deserve to profite from your really good work on texturing. I know there are a lot more things to work on in CoH2 but from my point of view it would be nice or better necessary to give the old factions the same good look as the new ones have. Especially the Ostheer/Wehrmacht units as the Panther and Tiger look not as good as newer skinned units. Proof me wrong, but I have the feeling the Panther and Tiger of the Ostheer/Wehrmacht are just the same models as in CoH1. This was also the case with the Panzer IV but as you introduced the new OKW Panzer IV Ausf. J you also changed the model of the Panzer IV of Ostheer/Wehrmacht. And the Panzer IV Ausf. J was a whole new 3D-model and a new skin. Great work on that! It looks REALLY good and is one of the best skinned units of the game and for sure THE best skinned vehicle for Ostheer/Wehrmacht. So I would like to see new models and skins for vehicles as the Panther and Tiger of Ostheer/Wehrmacht, because they have a few faults which do not fit to the real vehicle. In my oppinion this is not as much the case vor the soviet vehicles because they have new 3D-models and could not be copied from CoH1 as the Panther and Tiger 1 are. But I think reworking some of the Soviet skins would also be nice because the new factions look so great compared to the original core factions. The same is true about the infantry uniforms which are just amazing for the USF Paratroopers and British infantry, also true for OKW infatry. I know this is a bit of work but with all the DLC stuff (skins and commanders) you are earning money with the game long after most of the people spent money to buy the game and it would be nice and I guess fair to spent a bit effort to get the look of the old factions on par with the new ones. I would be pleased to get an answer for this request from you. Best regards! In: Lobby
