Thread: Weirdest map bug I have ever seen?26 Apr 2020, 10:19 AM I had that bug twice, but I cannot repro it. Not sure what exactly causes it. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: World changing and Coh history26 Apr 2020, 10:17 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2020, 09:23 AMSuperHansFan They should be more lethal on engineer units that have lower survivability to penals pretty much the only issue imo was rifle and penal flamers, but all flames got the nerf I always used to prioritise target flame infantry units when they moved in, their critical were always impossible to predict and often more devastating than planned. I loved that sense of incertitude and quick change of combat gameplay tho, missing that. Since the great flame nerfs over the past years players have shifted their emphasis to other units. RIP good old flame gameplay. In: Lobby
Thread: World changing and Coh history25 Apr 2020, 19:10 PM Honestly, the game was much better with each sides having relatively OP units fighting other OP units. The game is better right now balance wise, but Relic did a brilliant job back and keeping the game balanced and fun. They knew their stuff. It was overall more fun back then and there were endless weird yet fun strategies. Nowadays the balance is often ruined by people who just want to streamline everything, mirror the factions, have perfect round numbers on their excel sheet. There's a lot of powercreep, but that is the better way to do it. Give and keep the fun stuff! In: Lobby
Thread: Changes i feel grens need24 Apr 2020, 21:40 PM Whilst I agree that Ost grenadier need a buff I think other units in the Ost likeup need a nerf. It would help to ease the constant power creep and help other underrated units to see more play In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Looks Like I Owe Sander An Apology23 Apr 2020, 09:13 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 20:49 PMKatitof Then I suppose its good that T-70 haven't received a singular buff in years? Inb4 you try the 400 health thing, let me remind you that self repair, still allowing it to not die in 2 shots and canceling faust was removed from it in return. It does matter. It very much does matter. Literally all units are balanced around their cost and timing. How can you even attempt to deny that? Its unquestionable fact around which the whole balance of the game lies, not an opinion. You are completely right dude. There are so many things not related to timing and fuel costs that do matter. That is exactly why the Heavy Tank meta from the previous patch had so much impact, because these things that you cite matter loads to the game. It is saddening to read that so many people just turn the game into a bland excel sheet without actually knowing how to play the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comments on Cohrona Cup 2020 - please share!20 Apr 2020, 09:14 AM I watched most of it, and I repeat it again, UKF was thrash, and still will be thrash, and the changes were minimal. OST is once again the faction to root for, and is as usual the best faction there is for any game mode. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Someone have use the M20 lately?20 Apr 2020, 07:53 AM I haven't seen it for months in 2on2, and if I do spot a M20, I just get a minesweeper for the obvious mines. Problem solved. It has been hit hard by the nerf hammer into oblivion. People mentioning that they're using it in 2on2/3on3/4on4 never used it. There's too much enemy AT ages before the window of opportunity for the M20 in team based games. Good team players avoid the M20 in team games and rush for a AA instead, which is much much better. M20 a dead unit in team games, it has only very limited use in 1on1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [Release] DeCoHde 2.0 (Snake Edition!) WIP [Help needed]6 Apr 2020, 14:15 PM That is fully correct. The other explanation is wrong. Only an unit perpendicular to the forward or backward direction of vehicle can either hit the front or the back. It is important to define what exactly things are relative to each other when defining perpendicular. Otherwise, it can be read as a shot coming perpendicular to the front of the vehicle hits either front or back - which is completely wrong. This lovely old figure should help. It was taken approximately perpendicular to the moving direction of a vehicle, thus the chance of hitting front or back depends on other numerous values (in the most perfect case of ultimate perfection, it is a 50% chance to either hit front or back) Note: there was one vehicle exception where this above generalisation is not true (Elefant 75% front, 25% back ) <- past tense.

Thread: 60 range TD6 Apr 2020, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2020, 10:22 AMEsxile I like how to avoid to mention the damage reduction from 240 to 160. Oh and . Jackson were given extra sigh and then removed. It is fun because the aim of M36 jacksons changes have always been survivability in exchange of firepower, and now you want to reduce its survivability but no words about firepower. Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2020, 11:57 AMEsxile Aaah the selective reader, always prone to highlight the half of changes that serve his story Oh you mentioned the less potent in terms of burst damage vs medium, here it is. 240 to 200 in exchange of better penetration. To support your statement, this is correct, as indicated by the numerous patch notes that were published at the time. Other people are wrong, as usual, and refuse to accept that they're wrong. However, the Jackson also received further modifications further buffs and nerfs down the line from that patch onwards. :] For once, I'm glad the Jackson does something. At the start of WFA it was totally useless once the KT was out. I should find that video of the KT rolling over Jackson after Jackson after Jackson again.. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ram + Offmap combo needs to be nerfed6 Apr 2020, 12:06 PM tbh, i still don't know why there are endless players going full heavy when they spot the good old T34 spam/ram tactic. I just go 2xJP4 and mines In: COH2 Balance
