Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2020, 12:49 PMLago It's only a viable trade against expensive tanks, and is available in a doctrine that gets no doctrinal armour of its own. If you Tiger stall against a player playing Soviet Airborne in 1v1, you deserve everything you get. Exactly that. Yet people go full Tiger and Pg spam in 1on1 knowing exactly that the opposition has the best possible tiger counter. There's too many people just stalling for tiger, losing control of the map, losing the attrition fight then rage quitting when it gets countered. And yeah, if the opponent had 5 panthers as suggested, ram would have had no effect - the t34 would have been deleted instantly. Just don't let your tanks on their own if you spot the enemy will do that tactic against you. What a stupid argument that a tiger rush should always be the winner move. In: Lobby
Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 11:53 AM That guy would have lost the Tiger with or without the ability. The game was as good as over (SU has full map control, and an endgame army popcap army). The Tiger was ambushed, and flanked at the same time. The dude only had PGs to support. Who sends their Tiger on their own to the front??? In: Lobby
Thread: T-34 Ram3 Mar 2020, 10:47 AM I'm totally against the homogenization of units. It feels cheesy only to people who do not know the game. I have come to the conclusion to prepare myself for RAM eventualities if i spot the commander on the loading screen and if there is a T34 rushing towards my Panther. You're analytically wrong to want to change it and have no grounding at all. It is an unique and fun tactic, do not remove it. just prep for it, it's a very desperate and very expensive move.

Thread: Game mechanics basics2 Mar 2020, 11:15 AM Honestly I think that Katitof nailed it perfectly with his post. He's clearly a game designer who offers fab insights about game mechanics. Kat should be on the balance team. The above reads more like It's like nitpicking on schematics there due to some personal grudge. The game is more than vague theory crafting in the void. In: Lobby
Thread: A redesign of Sherman26 Feb 2020, 21:03 PM There's absolutely nothing wrong with the sherman. I am a bit anxious about the idea that there are axis players out there who want to nerf them. In: Lobby
Thread: Why maxim is trash26 Feb 2020, 08:58 AM Can we stick to maxims instead of turning yet another thread about Penals? Please do open up your own penals thread ... -- posts were edited to reflect my remarks. thanks. In: Lobby
Thread: Terrible new form if trolling/griefing 26 Feb 2020, 08:21 AM SwS half trucks cannot be abandonned. It has been set as non-abandonable in pre-release versions, where it was able to be abandoned and "gifted" to team members. Also people tried all kind of SwS half-truck shenanigans in release. Does someone recall the vengaboys partytruck? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Tiger in the new 1.2 Patch cannot be called in24 Feb 2020, 08:17 AM Oh, that happened to me too, but I thought it was a one-off. edit: Actually, that happened twice this weekend, on both games I tried. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Heavy Gammon bombs/ smoke23 Feb 2020, 20:55 PM To be honest, I also find it also utterly rude that the person claiming there is a problem is consistently refusing to play the preview or to give any replays of the problem. The issue is just a bunch of wild theories at this point, and the whole thread is asking for replays showing something that everyone says does not exist, and that even the modmaker say will open up the game. No need for people to get aggressive when one is asked to provide some replays or being told that the idea is just undeniably bad. In: Lobby
Thread: Heavy Gammon bombs/ smoke22 Feb 2020, 16:41 PM There is no such issue. It is pure theory rafting with no quantifiable basis. In fact it might even open the game up for UKF. Until replays are provided to clearly demonstrate this wild baseless theory, I doubt it'll hold any ground than pure witchcraft theory. In: Lobby
