Thread: The age-old double soviet sniper conundrum12 Mar 2018, 18:24 PM I mostly play 2on2, but when my OST side faces double SOV snipers, we decide to swap places. OST really struggles against them - the lack of early 222 is certainly the reason. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: About Jacksons9 Mar 2018, 11:50 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2018, 11:01 AMVipper I am not going to explain the benefit of crew repair on thread about the M36. I'm not even sure why you replied to tell me that you're not replying to me. Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2018, 11:01 AMVipper If in you opinion, the M36 as suggested by Firesparks is better solution then the current live one, I would suggested you make it clear and push for the change. I wasn't even quoting you, or even quoting Firesparks. Thanks for underlining part a sentence (?) in my post, and taking it completely out of context to unproductively argue schematics. But in any case, I'll be playing your game by telling you that I'm not replying to you either; I'm not going to tell you that USF vehicle & repair crews are not always beneficial and that these crew still require some micro, and they can get wiped easily especially when the player controlling the crews is busy elsewhere. I've underlined bits of it too. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: About Jacksons9 Mar 2018, 10:20 AM Alternatively, with a quick recon and a bit of luck, you can barrage the zones where the tank will be repaired to get a crew kill. I often do that in 2on2 especially on tighter maps. Self repairs are not always a benefit, they still require micro and they can get wiped easily especially when the player is busy elsewhere. Unexpected win! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Crocodile is useless in team games since patch7 Mar 2018, 08:52 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2018, 08:35 AMblvckdream It was nerfed in the last patch which was a community patch, relic had nothing to do with it. Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2018, 08:38 AMVipper Relic and Relic alone is responsible for any and every patch released. If you must bicker and drag things off-topic again, here's a quote: Relic wrote: This December Update is largely by the community; for the community and would not have been possible without your passionate commitment to COH2 and the countless hours of testing, tuning and integration of the balance mod from community members Mr. Smith and Miragefla. Conclusion: The December update was a community patch. Relic agreed with the changes and released the changes the community agreed with. But even in Relic words, it is largely work done by the community. Now stick to the topic, instead of having to correct people over their choice of words again. In: COH2 Balance

You all would be bitching about Fireflies just as much if brits had any means to snare vehicles without resorting to a PTRS squad. Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 17:05 PMVipper Brits do not have PTRS they have "Boys". Brits also have a number "of means to snare vehicles" at their disposal: Stock: Gammon bombs AEC's Target thread Snipers Critical Shot Tullips Doctrinal: Tank hunters AT grenade Please, I really wish you didn't try to rush conversation off-topic if Katitof isn't exactly choosing perfectly how to describe or define units, abilities or weapons - Right after he posted. We all know exactly what he was talking about, there's absolutely no need to nitpick for correction to start yet another knowledge-war going full off-topic... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The OKW Puma6 Mar 2018, 09:23 AM I did not say otherwise! There's nothing wrong at all to look at the inclusion of doctorinal abilities! In: Lobby
Thread: The OKW Puma6 Mar 2018, 09:08 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 09:02 AMVipper I am not sure if there is any point in this post. The facts are simple M10 has AP rounds available in its kit, Puma does not. I agree with Katitof, this is a valid point. This is also underlined by the Puma Vs Pershing video that is making its rounds around the forum. He argued that if certain commander abilities from the Elite Armor doctrines are taken into account (e.g. HEAT) and applied, the Puma may end up with good DPS against valid targets, albeit against frontally heavy tanks at max range. It is a good point! However, most Units are often used in the game in conjunction of other units and abilities, and not in a void. Sometimes RNG Gods are also to blame. Hope this helps you to comprehend his point in his post! In: Lobby
Thread: About Jacksons4 Mar 2018, 11:56 AM I asked you privately, but since you don't reply, I post it here: Do you mind keeping the puma as flanker discussion within your own thread instead of keeping it bringing up in here over and over again despite us two agreeing with moderation?

Thread: Game Freezes 2 Mar 2018, 14:52 PM Have you checked and monitored the temperature of your CPU/GPU over the course of a game? On some PCs, the CPU is throttled down automatically once they get too warm when games are too demanding. This may cause lags and FPS problems. This problem is usually fixed installing a better ventilation system and changing the CPUs heatpaste. In: COH2 Bugs
