Thread: Double ISG/Pack Howie12 Sep 2015, 22:47 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2015, 18:52 PMAce of Swords Reduce range so that mortarts can effectively counter fire on them, for the rest I think they perform fine. That makes no sense. To give you some perspective, the German 8cm mortar had an effective range of 2400m. while the M116 howitzer around 8700m. Obviously the difference in game is not so big for balance reasons, but an infantry mortar able to counter mobile artillery makes no sense in either rl on in-game. The pack howie also costs 380 manpower, 760 (!) for two of them. That is 120 more manpower than a Tiger for an already manpower-starved faction, again to put in perspective. Double ISG is honestly only a problem against the brits, so I'd much rather see tweaks in their design over the nerf hammer for both it and the pack howie. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Emplacements Redesign11 Sep 2015, 21:10 PM I really like the notion of decrewing emplacements to reset veterancy and allowing for counter-play without major commitments to destroying the emplacement. I think it'd add a nice in-between instead of emplacements being either completely shut down or nearly indestructible. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Time to fix the Ostheer sniper problem11 Sep 2015, 21:06 PM No way you see any sniper play if you lock him behind T2. By then you'd be forced to spend the mp for the sniper on more grens and/or indirect weapons early to the point a sniper would be redundant. I agree OH sniper is too strong but let's see how the new patch changes affect gameplay before relegating him to T2 oblivion. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF buff/Axis nerf thread.11 Sep 2015, 19:03 PM I agree with the .50 cal reinforce decrease and durability buff, although I think those are mostly bugs - no? Fixing the no animation bug on rifle nades would go a long way as well. Adding a mortar would be amazing and historically accurate, so I suppose I'd be for that as well. Everything else is way over the top and heavy handed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: LeIG is too effective11 Sep 2015, 18:12 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2015, 12:56 PMAlexzandvar The reason why you let it "sit there" is because it's barrage is shite. The barrage is actually quite good vs brits, even more so if you can manage to get 2 of them. It pretty much shuts down emplacement play from my experience. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Which faction is the easiest to play as11 Sep 2015, 17:55 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2015, 17:31 PMAvNY Sorry the sarcasm wasn't strong enough. There are a lot of ridiculous, biased, or agenda-driven comments (an many that are merely uninformed) on these forums. yours was none of those, so the question was... what is a reasonable person like you doing here? I think you are responding to the wrong person. Thanks for the kind words, OP was the one that missed the sarcasm lol In: Lobby
Thread: Which faction is the easiest to play as11 Sep 2015, 17:19 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2015, 17:10 PMvietnamabc Uhm UK is even more unforgiving than USA, 1 squad wipe and you are set back very heavily and although UK late game is strong, their strength came from synergy, you can't expect a comeback with heavy tank like Axis with their Tigers. I haven't played the brits enough to have a strong opinion, but I'd agree with that. They are definitely unforgiving especially if you misplace units or an emplacement. In terms of ease of play however I'd maintain that USF is much trickier than the damage sponge design of the brits. In: Lobby
Thread: Which faction is the easiest to play as11 Sep 2015, 16:50 PM Honestly OH is the most straight forward faction to play, in my humble opinion anyway. You have linear tech progression, readily available counters for most things an opponent can throw at you throughout the game, low-micro indirect fire weapons that are very powerful, durable armor, and very cost-effective and flexible infantry backbone. They are the faction I learned how to play the game with and I'd recommend the same to new players. Soviets are probably a close second, you still have a lot of counters available to you and the faction can be pretty forgiving. It may actually be the easiest come next patch with OH mortar nerf and the ninja gren bug/buff hopefully fixed, but I guess we'll see. No idea why you think OKW is easy to play. They have a lot of trade-offs and tough decisions they have to make throughout the game to be competitive, not to mention the dubious efficiency/cost ratio of a lot of units/call-ins. I guess they are easy in lower-level play where shreck blobs are effective and the flak truck can shut down 1/3 of the map, so maybe this is what you are seeing (no offense intended.) USF is by far the hardest imo, especially in its current state. You have paper infantry/armor that are very unforgiving to positional mistakes, tons of micro taxes, very few viable BOs (making USF very predictable,) and by far the worst late game out of any faction. EDIT: I haven't played the brits enough to have an opinion yet, so I can't really speak to their ease of use. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF nerfs and business ethics11 Sep 2015, 15:23 PM Is OP really arguing for pay-to-win and throwing around "business ethics" and morality into the conversation? Please don't feed the trolls... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: VIPUKS can help you to play better.11 Sep 2015, 03:19 AM How do you typically prioritize capping order in 1v1s? I feel I have a decent grasp of which areas to commit resources to in most maps but I find myself questioning my capping priorities and committing to early engagements Any advice would be welcomed In: Strategy Desk
