Thread: Balance 2018 2vs29 Apr 2018, 13:33 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2018, 13:28 PMSweetrollNearTheDoor I don't remember that many top level players demanding that USF needed a normal mortar or a Heavy Tank but relic and I'd expect majority of the playerbase seemingly deemed otherwise. I think the original design based around Smoke and flank was the "git gud" option which many people utilized as well but was a bit harder than purchase cost effective indirect fire. True, I'm not a fan of the homogeneous trend the recent community patches have introduced. Nor was I fan of the changes discussed through the idea of polls on this forum. To me, some changes felt as if they were just for the sake of shaking up meta, and OKW is slowly becoming OST two point oh. Otherwise they did a great job at this. Pershing: I don't mind more content, even if its contradicts what was said before - at least it was doctorinal. Still, the game is balanced for people who want to learn the game... In: COH2 Balance

You're right, you either learn from the best, or simply delete the game like the rest. The game is not meant to balanced for people who don't want to learn the game. One cannot simply just ignore what happened at high play with Axis because the results are not as bad as expected; they're in a good spot, and surely not as bad as OP describes them. In: COH2 Balance

Are we going to act like on-stream rages are a rare event with HelpingHans? Perma banned I initially thought they were fun and part of the typical Twitch caster act, but I prefer to watch other more mature and professional streamers now. In: Lobby
Thread: Balance 2018 2vs29 Apr 2018, 11:57 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2018, 11:46 AMVelikiStrateg Very simple. Create a poll of the top 50 players of all play options. I guarantee that at least 65-70% say that the allies are stronger in all disciplines. The results will most likely be screwed with confirmation bias, as players will most likely validate their preexisting beliefs or hypotheses by voting that their preferred side is weaker in a particular discipline. E.g. in the tournament yesterday, Stugs dominated the fields, despite the common believes that allies have a stronger TD game-play. The few ally things that, in my opinion, stand out at the moment are their Snipers, their Skills planes, and their late-game double equipped infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance 2018 2vs29 Apr 2018, 11:10 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2018, 10:44 AMSturmpanther Tho we saw yesterday Stug > jackson or firefly on all games. Stug won the tankfights and at guns get killed from panzerwerfer or walking stuka. So it really depends on the maps. And don't forget you can have like 2 stug for 1 firefly from time. And the attackspeed from stugs is just ... So there is no really answer at all for 2vs2. It depends on the maps and also if you are playing vs 2 brits or 2 usa or mix etc ... Best scenarios were 2xStug paired with 1xBrummbar and 1xP4 Command Tank, using houses as cover and shot-blockers. That was fantastically powerful, it countered infantry, it countered tanks, and was utterly devastating as both attackers or defenders. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance 2018 2vs28 Apr 2018, 19:57 PM There's currently the Ultimate Team Tournament happening, with both Axis and Allies showing brilliant 2on2 tactics and counter-tactics the things you're mentioning. Its also great to show the state of balance in 2018s - I recommend watching the streams. In the tournament, Axis is doing really great to the point of steamrolling everything. This will surely provide valuable fertile ground for discussions. Currently, at the time of writing, Talisman and Hooligan are doing great with OST and OKW, winning easily, and earlier in the day Axis rolled over everything.. https://www.twitch.tv/stormless In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ghost Zis30 Mar 2018, 15:00 PM It's an old bug. It happens to me about once every six months too. I recall writing about it in countless threads ages ago, but back then, we were not able to exactly pinpoint the cause to reproduce the bug. It just happens at random times for random reasons. I'm not sure if a clear reproducible cause has been identified now. I doubt there is, otherwise everyone would abuse that. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Community-Patch: Further rework of Commanders?30 Mar 2018, 13:14 PM What commanders do you think are underused and should be reworked, or do you wish to just shake the meta by making other commanders more viable? I personally wouldn't mind other less viable commanders to be reworked - and keep the current meta intact. In: COH2 Gameplay
