Thread: TDs vs mediums in Live and in numbers.2 Aug 2017, 21:55 PM I think we all tried to reason with Vipper and we all failed to break through. If she must continue to do biased, mathematically and statistically incorrect charts and continue ignoring any input, we should just let her do it.. In: Lobby
Thread: FBP: A Relic survey1 Aug 2017, 18:17 PM Relic posted this on their Facebook page: Do you feel the changes in the Fall Balance Preview are headed in the right direction? Take this short survey and let us know what you think. Take Survey: http://ow.ly/dwx930e5jNx I strongly agree! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: COH2 veterans play Sudden Strike 4 ? How was it ?1 Aug 2017, 12:55 PM I enjoyed the Blitzkrieg series a lot, as well as the Sudden Strike games. Would you recommend SS4 to CoH veterans? I was really disappointed by Steel Division after a lot of noisy and overexcited reactions on this forums.. In: Lobby
Thread: FBP: M36 Jackson Discussion1 Aug 2017, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2017, 10:07 AMVipper That is the chance to score a "natural" hit. Chance is actually higher due to "collision" hits. You are right! But, I'd just stick to absolute values with the standard armor-hit chances calculation otherwise it may be pedantic fault-finding. It will only create genuinely confusion. If you must, do picture yourself a tilde (~) before numbers if you must be approximate with chance to hit that may occur due to other lesser gameplay effects.

Thread: FBP: M36 Jackson Discussion31 Jul 2017, 22:10 PM Changes are great, but I never managed to get a proper 4on4 slugfest in the FBP. I got a fine 2on2 and USF felt like having some kind of endgame with the new Jacksons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does capturing territory do absolutely nothing?31 Jul 2017, 19:20 PM Perhaps you should provide a replay, capturing points does deny resources... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: TDs vs mediums in Live and in numbers.31 Jul 2017, 07:07 AM You can just go above and read the post and conclusion, with the name of the method, and some numbers. I gave a snippet of what I can help you with to achieve a statistical look at the numbers you provided. There's more you can do to that data than just looking at it and saying one it bigger than the other and calculating dubious percentages. Even others pointed out how your approach is not in synch with the game itself. No need tell stuck your fingers in your ears singing out loud at all. I feel you just want to incite others you disagree with to provocation. In: Lobby
Thread: TDs vs mediums in Live and in numbers.31 Jul 2017, 06:53 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2017, 06:41 AMVipper You have the right to like or not like DPS. If you actually have a suggestion on how to compared prepatch and patched units feel free to do so. I didn't only provide a suggestion, I provided an actual method, with a result. As usual, you only read what you want to read and ignore the rest. No need to tell me my posting rights, that's borderline insulting. In: Lobby
Thread: TDs vs mediums in Live and in numbers.30 Jul 2017, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2017, 21:54 PMVipper This a comparison of M36 before and after the patch vs PzIV with the DPS adjusted to number of hits: significantly lower On what criteria is it significantly lower? You observation is all arbitrary. I ran a standard unpaired t-test on the DPS data you provided. The test demonstrate that both live ap/ap patch and live gun/gun patch pairs differences are not statistically significant at all (P=0.8182, P=0.2903 [..]). All that can be concluded is that the Jackson unit has been re-purposed to be used for different ranges there are no significant buffs or nerfs to the unit itself. Theorycrafting doesn't always work in your advantage but playing the game does help. You also completely ignored MrSmith's post about DPS and Tanks. I don't like DPS calculations with tanks. I find it useless, as it totally screws the dynamic of tank-to-tank engagement. Long winded discussions with tons of numbers doesn't help balanced gameplay either. In: Lobby
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)30 Jul 2017, 09:47 AM Vipper, what about you go in-game, equip piats to tommies, and see for yourself how well they are instead of asking Mr.Smith. The answer should be really clear once you engage Tommies with Piats in any anti tank situation. In: COH2 Gameplay
