Thread: Tiger Ace Poll.29 Dec 2018, 10:24 AM Alright so, the Tiger Ace has gathered up some discussions lately and I wanted to chip in with some of my personal thoughts and ideas as well as to see what's best received here. First off we have the simple replacement of the Tiger Ace in the Elite Troops doctrine by the King Tiger. The other topic also spawned a mod by Cobalt that does exactly so, link to it is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1602620176 Credits to the guy and like I commented on the mod, I think he did a great job with it. I believe it only needs access to the Panzer Tactician smoke and some self-repair abilities due to the Ost's lower repair capabilities compared to the OKW, meaning that you will be probably repairing the tank more than you would be fighting with it, at least from my own observations. Second we have another idea albeit not so popular as the first one, making the Ace into a Command Tiger tank. Now how I imagine this would look like is either it keeps it's current skin or uses the normal Tiger one but with some added maps or radio antennas or whatever if possible to denote it's "Command" status visually. It would act similarly to the Command Panther for the OKW and would be a direct counterpart to the Command Panzer IV. The twist here would be that it would only affect German vehicles if possible, or something along those lines. The tank itself would have lower accuracy and reload speeds to "compensate for all of the additional radios" so to speak. Now I've heard some concerns about the German command vehicles and that they should be "fixed" but I haven't really heard how exactly could somebody achieve that. I'm not saying that this is the best course of action but I believe it's still a nice option. And lastly we have my own little idea, turning the Ace into a 1 Unit Army. Here the Ace would act exactly as in the Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor Tiger Ace campaign. It would receive some nice abilities like a self-repair ability, direct fire ability, s-mine launcher similar to the Sturmtiger, switching of ammo between AP and HE like the USF tanks, being able to call in an Artillery barrage, the Panzer Tactician smoke and lastly the ability to call in a mechanized battlegroup of a 250 Halftrack and special Panzergrenadiers that are able to repair and of course the current ones like the Blitzkrieg and so on. If you're asking yourself how would this work exactly and would not be OP, well, you wouldn't be able to call in any other units from your production buildings. Once you call in the Ace your entire gameplay changes and focuses on your single Hero unit. Resource flow would stay the same and the Ace would have 5 veterancy levels, each providing you with an option of what "upgrade" you would like, similar to the Panzer Elite's veterancy system, offensive or defensive, or you would be able to upgrade your abilities I don't really know exactly but it's something along those lines in my head. If you lose the Ace however everything goes back to normal. Well that's about it really, cheers and have a nice day. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Do you want COH 3 ???25 Dec 2018, 15:22 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2018, 10:28 AMGrumpy Every one of us will buy it when it comes out. I already paid a hundred bucks for the Collector's Edition of this game which was 50% useless so believe me, unless it's on a huge sale I will not be doing so. Sunk another hundred or so into DLC like commanders on sale and the Army expansions. I only bought CoH two and a half times and I still got more enjoyment out of it than this game which I believe is saying a lot. Not to say that I haven't had enjoyable moments in CoH2, I've had many, but how Relic have managed to achieve that is in many ways worse than how they achieved it in CoH. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Replace Tiger Ace with King Tiger for elite troops?25 Dec 2018, 14:44 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2018, 09:23 AMflyingpancake What is wrong with the current command tanks? they do their job dont they? Idk, ask the people who are complaining about it, not me. I also suggested a Command King Tiger I think somewhere but that also got shot down. Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2018, 13:58 PMTric I like this idea. A command tiger would be pretty awesome. Probably have to lower the CP cost on it though. Yeah what I imagine is something like the British Designate Command vehicle, standard Tiger but with lower accuracy and slower fire rate because of the "increased amount of radios inside the tank" so to speak. You know, stick some antennas and maps on it to make it seem more like a "Command Tank" and also a Commander of course. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Replace Tiger Ace with King Tiger for elite troops?24 Dec 2018, 23:23 PM Ironic that they did the same thing in CoH. It makes sense and I agree with it. But I wouldn't mind seeing a command tiger if I'm honest even tho a lot of people are against it for some reason, most often excuse I read was that they should fix the other command tanks first or something like that.

Thread: Do you want COH 3 ???24 Dec 2018, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 14:09 PMdasheepeh consider coh1 brits or perma cloak sniper wars or global vet upgrades for wehr inf + tanks (lost your manpower only vet 3 tiger? call in another manpower only vet 3 tiger!) 1 Army broken out of 4 is stil better than 3 Armies broken out of 5. Both the Western Front Armies and Brits have went through numberous buffs, nerfs and redesigns, especially the OKW and USF, with the UKF being the biggest offender I think because Relic had a lot of experience and feedback from CoH and they still decided to go with the old bullshit so that's entirely on them, they still managed to fix most of their problems but some still remains and are easily fixable but they refuse to do it, for one reason or another. Perma cloak sniper wars I cannot comment on as I haven't experienced it that much but as far as the Wehr's vet goes yes, it was a bit gimmicky but they at least tried to make each Army's veterancy system unique compared to CoH2 where only the OKW have 5 vets out of which the last 2 were nerfed in their last redesign or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.

Thread: Do you want COH 3 ???24 Dec 2018, 07:24 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2018, 01:28 AMTheGentlemenTroll Your opinion isn't the truth. An 11 year old game with about a thousand players daily online and a dedicated modding community begs to differ. Did CoH2 improve the concept? Sure, but in reality it felt as if they took 1 step forwards and 2 steps back. The DLC milking, bad campaign and broken Army design proves that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Do you want COH 3 ???23 Dec 2018, 23:47 PM Not if it's got limited modding tools and is again used as a cow to milk for money. I won't get into how and why CoH is superior and should just be remade and improved because I have been told many times that I'm just looking through some nostalgic glasses which is complete and utter bullshit if you ask me but I guess we're all entitled to our opinions and besides, I'm not here to change any hearts and minds. I'm here to tell the truth. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The last man of ATGs and mortars19 Dec 2018, 18:40 PM I have a friend that made it so in the original CoH the last man left on a weapon crew would just stay there without running away or dying. He just stayed there waiting to be reinforced by a Halftrack or something, or if you built a reinforce point next to it. The mortar I think was a special case where the guy would pack it up and could carry it but not set it up and fire without a 2nd guy there to help him, so you could just retreat him to the HQ. But what I mentioned above the mortar case was about the AT gun crews, since the gun is bigger and heavier, I mean of course you could have one guy pushing it really fucking slowly but it wouldn't really be realistic lol. But yeah something like the Soviet HM-38 120mm Mortar is possible for the rest of the weapon crews, or at least was in CoH, not 100% sure about CoH2. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Have Axis blobs become worse?18 Dec 2018, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2018, 20:19 PMmurky depths A friend suggested that when too many units are near each other they receive a stacking RA malus that causes them to be easier to hit -- after all, if you have 100 guys near each other a stray bullet is more likely to hit one of them than if only 10 guys are near each other. I know small arms are basically hit scan, so having scatter hits won't work, but a change like this would fundamentally alter things IMO. It would also mean doing stuff like AT-gun-walling would make them easier to pick off too. I think this was suggested and tried already. The result was that it assigns an aura around each model, if you got a hundred guys that puts a huge strain on the processor which means a lot more lag coming out of basically nowhere. 1v1 and 2v2 games might not be affected that much but the bigger 3v3 or 4v4 and especially the custom game ones with modded pop cap would be hell on most computers. Of course I could be entirely wrong but this is my experience from a couple of years ago from CoH, I have a friend that is editing the Great War mod and tried that out to reduce blobbing effectiveness. In the end the best solution to the problem was like in the real war, having deadly machine guns that are able to both suppress and kill anybody too stupid to stay in front of it for too long.
