Thread: Relic is watching the OCF Finals28 Sep 2015, 20:29 PM Nice! I really hope this inspires them to get involved in the competitive scene. They could get this game so much more exposure than the community alone can. In: Lobby
Thread: Current State of Balance28 Sep 2015, 15:21 PM I don't think balance is that bad at the moment. There are just a few grossly over-performing units. Centaur, leig, croc, etc - you see the threads. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallschimjager and obersoldaten suck !!28 Sep 2015, 14:55 PM Dude obers do not suck, they are the best long-range infantry in the game. Falls are kinda meh and cost inefficient but your suggestions are way over the top. They'd probably be fine with a slight cost decrease or received accuracy buff tbh. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Those stupid leiG spam28 Sep 2015, 14:50 PM Honestly I'd be happy if at the very least they added some actual gameplay mechanic to it. Maybe it could only auto-fire in the cone of fire you point it towards (like an mg)? The frustration isn't about the stats or anything, it's the fact that a dirt cheap and easily accessible unit can have such a massive impact on the game without you actually having to play it. These "oh look I wiped a squad" and "oh I guess the isg sniped my sniper" moments really need to go. The same goes for the pack howie to a lesser extent. The frustration is the same but howie at least has less range and can't camp behind med/flak truck and fire into your base. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Those stupid leiG spam28 Sep 2015, 04:58 AM I think the worst part of the current double ISG dynamic isn't even the range/insta pin/damage, it's the fact that it requires no micro and it's pretty much a build and forget unit. You can just park in a defensive position by your trucks and watch it rack up kills and win engagements for you, not to mention hard-counter any emplacement/building/defensive position/etc. As USF the only counter play that I've found is to match the isg bs with your own pack howie bs. It's harder since howie comes out later and it's harder to get two, but possible if you position them well. It sucks but at least you can outplay it. Priest is doctrinal, comes out way late, takes valuable resources better spent otherwise, and is not a reliable counter without direct vision. Sames goes for katty (other than doctrinal part.) Poor brits are dead in the water unless you can somehow manage a centaur flank or something, I don't think you can do anything other than hope to capitalize on an blunder/misposition.

Thread: Centaur28 Sep 2015, 04:46 AM Yea Centaur is definitely overperforming, I don't think anyone would argue otherwise. I think a fuel increase to 125 or so combined with decreased damage against team weapons/AT guns through target tables should make it ok. Oh and fix the damage against units in garrison of course.

Thread: Best Late Game Tank Combo28 Sep 2015, 04:42 AM In 1v1s I've had success with rushing a Centaur and then supporting it with an AT gun until I can save up for a Comet. Keep in mind I usually spend 0 fuel other than techning towards the Centaur then Comet so it hits the field asap. The idea is to peel the AT guns/p4/stug/whatever with the Comet and flank with the Centaur. Churchill is ok but it's just a damage sponge. I really want to like the Firefly but I honestly can't justify the fuel or munis for rockets when 1-2 well positioned AT guns can do the job. This is all work in progress of course. Still less than 30 games in with Brits. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: How to deal with this broken LeIG now?25 Sep 2015, 23:39 PM Honestly the only way I've found is to match the isg 1-to-1 with pack howies or get a mortar halftrack. With pack howies you are basically countering his bs with your own bs, just make sure you have better positioning and try to punish hard if they blob infantry along with the isg near med truck. Mortar HT works ok but it's very fragile so you gotta watch positioning very closely. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Those stupid leiG spam25 Sep 2015, 17:34 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2015, 16:36 PMAlexzandvar Despite the ISG OP (I agree it's overpreforming for cost) OKW's win rate has continued to fall off into nothing both in the automatch and OCF despite 2 hotfix's so far so I think there is actually some serious problems that need to be addressed. Dude we get it, you've spread the message and preached the gospel of Axis underperforming in every reply to every thread that has come up since the patch and hotfix. Most reasonable people agree tweaks/changes are needed and I'm sure Relic has access to much better metrics and are well aware of the discrepancy. We don't need to hear it from you 35 times. EDIT: Why not create a "Win rate in current patch" thread and keep it all there? Would be easier than repeating yourself endlessly or injecting it into every other thread. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: #OCF Questions and Answers25 Sep 2015, 16:44 PM Hey folks, super excited for the main event tomorrow. Quick question - are you guys keeping the Rifle Company ban in place in the spirit of fairness/consistency throughout the tournament, or is it a question of balance? In: Operation Charlie Fox
