Thread: "Eternal crusade" or MG-42 vs M1910 Maxim 8 Mar 2016, 15:30 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2016, 15:25 PMMissCommissar snips USSR is one-role faction snips SOV has been demonstrated countless times to be the most resourceful, and the least predictable army of the game, mostly due to its open techtree, and most divers commanders. Sure, it does have a few bits that lack (T4 in general), but it is far away from being a one-role faction. But you said you don't care about ESL strategies and counterplay, as you called them "bunch of nerd tournament". Stop throwing random keywords around. "Fair assymetrical balance"? Perhaps it does sound fancy to you, but that's it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: "Eternal crusade" or MG-42 vs M1910 Maxim 8 Mar 2016, 10:58 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2016, 08:45 AMMissCommissar I prefer to judge balance not from "some nerd's games in some tournament", but from my own experience, which I belive more to. That's quite insulting to throw away people's work like that. I am not sure then what you are doing in "some nerd's game"'s forum, discussing "some nerd"'s unit balance. If you cannot handle other people's opinion, go write a blog instead. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know7 Mar 2016, 14:51 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2016, 14:39 PMelchino7 Q1: does smoke cover type applies ingame? Q2: if so, does it overwrite other cover? For Q2, perhaps Q1 too, I asked Cruzz something similar a while back, in a different thread: Is the bonus that units obtain when in cover, the sum/multiplication of the values defined in the cover table? Example to clarify the question: Do units have their accuracy/suppression/damage multiplier modified multiplicatively by standing in deep snow, but behind green cover, whilst under a smoke? (tp_zz_deep_snow * tp_heavy * tp_smoke). Or is it merely one modifier, depending which one is applied by some kind criteria (e.g highest modifier only)? And his reply was: Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2016, 20:40 PMCruzz Only the strongest cover is applied. HTH In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 45mm M-42 AT - Why?7 Mar 2016, 14:31 PM Most likely because that doctorine was designed for a different, and much older era of this game, when devs had a different perspective on it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So. no Japan or Italy , but a THIRD German Army?7 Mar 2016, 13:57 PM I wouldn't mind messing up balance completely by having a third faction, that does not belong to either Axis nor Allies. That faction is also able to battle itself, and in team-games, that faction can join either side. How that'd fit historically, well, screw you history In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Need Some better Anti-Blob Tools7 Mar 2016, 11:16 AM I heartily disagree. Ostheer's main disadvantage is the lack of any light tank. 222's buff was a slight misstep, which will most likely be fixed in the next patch (similar to AEC buff/nerf). But calling Ostheer having "enough light vehicles" is wrong - as demonstrated by the game itself, and the general feeling of this forum. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So. no Japan or Italy , but a THIRD German Army?7 Mar 2016, 11:12 AM I want France Vichy as third faction. Fun aside: I really enjoyed Panzers, Phase Two back then, which was, if recall properly, set in Africa. A faction that favours this idea would be in my interest too. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Axis Faction4 Mar 2016, 15:50 PM This faction doesn't seem to be any fun to play with. Even with corrected numbers, it'll easily take on anything that any opponent throws. edit: This faction needs more Reichsflugscheibe! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Vet fix March 9th4 Mar 2016, 14:45 PM The game will need a full re-balance once this patch is unleashed. It's going to change CoH2 lategame a lot In: COH2 Bugs
