Thread: Nade cooldowns30 Mar 2021, 09:04 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2021, 08:20 AMVipper The reason smoke grenades share cool down with normal grenades is that it can be used to frontally attack a hmg. Game historically wrong. They share a cool-down so that they can not be spammed within combat. In previous versions of the game, it was easily possible to use Shocks to frontally attack, smoke and throw a nade at HMGs quickly to get easy wipes. It worked perfectly against other units too. Shocks were also able to throw too many nades too quickly once they vetted up. There was a bug introduced in one of the mods which was quickly fixed in a patch. at least now it needs a bit of play to do the smoke/nade combo, but its not as easy as it was back then. You're wrong again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Commander Revamp 202130 Mar 2021, 08:13 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2021, 07:23 AMVipper VG have 5 entities so not that standard. Riflemen are also 5 entities yet the paras is the only USF unit with 6 entities. The reason behind that is that aggressive airdrops are hazardous. Entities might hit world object and die or can be shot down before they land die. If paras are not used aggressively the hole mechanism become less important. That is factually incorrect and a wrong misconception of the game's mechanics. The reason is simple, and I'll keep it short for you: There are other units (example: Falls) that follow the same idea of an aggressive airdrop or infiltration as Paratroopers. Falls are factually even more aggressive due to their innate abilities and their ability to drop as good as anywhere safely due to their fall pattern but they have fewer models. Meanwhile, you have to learn and understand where to use the Paras for them to drop and land safely. It can be behind enemy lines but there are not that many non-obvious spots for them to land on most maps (easier with pathfinders tho). Falls are definitely the better due to their even more aggressive drops, less chance to lose a model on landing (landing pattern), quicker drops (again less models), and has endless great spots on every map for good play. There is no hole mechanic, I assume you had a typo and you mean "whole". Edit: I spotted that sander, who knows the game in and out, is of the same opinion. In: Lobby
Thread: Brummbar performance29 Mar 2021, 13:45 PM I don't mind it being a speedy boi. it's a fun tank to use, as it's not clunky compared to other similar units. But I feel that adding more aim delay before the projectile is shot would suffice a nerf especially when used with a ground attack. It's that manual ground attack that experienced players use that makes the unit so powerful. Quick shooting and speedy armour boi makes it too much too handle. Changing the big manual aim problem speedi shot will slightly help the enemy to at least react appropriately. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brummbar performance29 Mar 2021, 13:28 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2021, 13:24 PMLatch The mobility and clunky 'issues' are really a problem when it is able to perform like it does, similar to how Ele and Jag not having a rotatable turret and being small isnt an issue due to the damage output and the range. You can see the Brum performing in this video from 4:45 onwards: (Timestamp) https://youtu.be/wfeXzGUN7PE?t=284 Thanks for the video, this is one of the many examples I was referring to in my earlier posts. There's clear evidence yet people still insist that the unit is clunky to use. That's without the shadow of a doubt speedy brumboi, and that kind of manoeuvrability is easy to get out of the tank after a few games. No wonder it's no1 builds on reaching T4. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brummbar performance29 Mar 2021, 11:46 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2021, 11:44 AMVipper Generally speaking Brumbar does feel rather clunky to maneuver. It mobility I would say is inline with dozer 105 that even comes with turret. errr... no. I have been exclusively using the brummbar for a few weeks now, and nobody who ever used the brummbar extensively can conclude that it is clunky to manoeuvre. The speedy brumbar responses were even a heavy part of the recent cheating investigation. Clunky to maneuver is the sturmtiger, but Brummbar, ooooh no. You couldn't be again anymore wrong.

Thread: USF Commander Revamp 202126 Mar 2021, 12:29 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2021, 12:24 PMVipper Airborne Company (Can someone pls decide if we the spelling Airborne or Airbourn half the unit abilities use one name the rest the other.) I'm happy to help. It's simple. Airborne is an adjective, whereas Airbon is an Americanised noun of the adjective. It is used more like a "brand" name within the game context. Technically, everything should be spelt "airborne", but noun liberties exist to make then sound more fancy. There is no "Airbourn". Hope that helps you! In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet Commander Revamp 202126 Mar 2021, 12:23 PM I don't think I have faced many KV1s in 2on2s recently. It would be a bad move to nerf the commanders further. Keep the game diverse! In: Lobby
Thread: How OKW and Ostheer are different from each other26 Mar 2021, 10:25 AM Ostheer, easily. Once you get used to their slower game pace, you can grab control of most matches. Brumbars are easily the best non doc tanks. Victory!! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tips against Commandos26 Mar 2021, 09:54 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2021, 09:31 AMVipper Guards are superior vs sniper than most other elite infatry since their high pop and PTRS with range of 40/42.5 give the less of an range disadvantage. Jump back to quoted post26 Mar 2021, 09:35 AMKatitof If you genuinely believe that, it speaks volumes of your skill and play level. Katitof is right tho. What Vipper suggests is the worst possible and ultimately bad game advice. If you face a sniper, don't use guards or elites, they are NOT superior vs sniper for when it comes to actual play. Grab a quick LV and/or any other vehicle and hunt them down. Or do a pincer move with cheap disposables. Otherwise, all you get yourself bleeding manpower to death and losing more manpower and time than the cost of the sniper you're facing. The other day I had people trying to get my OST sniper with their elites and all I did was bleeding them to death and/or luring them into my MG42 forcing them to retreat. Easy wins. In: COH2 Gameplay
