Profile of Tiger Baron

Advanced Emplacement Regiment for UKF was really overpowered for a long time after it's release. It meant FREE counter battery for every IDF unit.

So basically: base 25 pdr guns and mortars got a free automatic fire button. The mortar pit's range is 115 (it had the largest range till the recent mortar hotfix) and afaik the base pounders covered the whole map.

They countered every other enemy IDF unit without problems as I mentioned above, thanks to their range, they outranged everything.

So in case you were wondering, yes, it's totally the same type of shot with a munition cost.

PS: I still have PTSD from those times

Out-range everything? Bullshit, try that on bigger 3v3 and 4v4 maps, won't work.

Doesn't work now either, even when it's a munition cost based and timed ability.

Get real, nobody gives a fuck on the internet, if you do that's your problem, nobody else.

No, its because the guide community is dead not because the factions are shallow.

This.

I cannot disagree more with Katitof, for example, I didn't even know I could play like the Soviet Armored Assault tactics with the British vanguard on a larger scale, I can both cap and repair my tanks without the need from any sort of infantry whatsoever, I can maintain a full-blown vehicle (tank) Army without any infantry support.

Of course that'd be hard to do in 1v1 and 2v2 games but it's valid in 3v3s and 4v4s.

Still, saying they're shallow (which he did not, but let's take it as that's what he meant) is pure bullshit.

But then again most competitive players cheer more for the vanilla Armies more than they do for the Western Front ones so no surprise there.

Why do I have the feeling there are some hard core trolls around these parts just going on knocking no on every poll.

1- I don't see any "real" point been made.
2- They had already done this on the past. They have already took Mirage mod (unfortunately only part of it Y U NO gibe manual reload ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ).
3- The idea is to have MORE (there is/was an actual group of selected people) people who can actually use the units in a decent way test what is implemented.
4- If they don't care to voice their opinions why do you think they'll care about any changes implemented ? Any type of change affects casual players as they don't look into patch notes. The only problem for them is when they increase the skill floor rather than the skill ceiling or they change mechanics/dynamics such as the OKW revamp (they have to "learn" the faction again).
5- People who are already modding are "working" for free. People finding and reporting bugs are already working for free.

1 - They WILL NOT agree with MOST of the changes the community wants to make, that directly factors in WHY Mirage's mod was half-assly implemented.

2 - Half-assed, end of story.

3 - The more people you have the more problems you have, apart from the competitive balance idea look around you, any other project has flourished for a time and then died off but it was a different, more fun idea than the stagnant competitive balance. Take the CoH 2 Zombie mod for example, last time I played that it didn't have the British.

My point is, everyone has a different idea for competitive balance, while there's a slight chance a group of people might come together for a more fun idea than competitive balance, plus their decisions will be criticized by the entire community, I've heard people call mirage the "OKW killer" and "fun ruiner" and so forth.

4 - They will if they directly affect them, that's why I suggested competitive 1v1 and 2v2 modes be made separate from the balance of casual 1v1, 2v2s, 3v3s and 4v4s BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE COMPETITIVE OR TO PLAY COMPETITIVELY. Not voicing your opinion doesn't mean not wanting to, the Steam forums are overrun with suggestions and whine topics, maybe then just don't know about CoH2.org, how do you know?

And I said voicing it on here or the official forums, not the Steam forums, there's plenty of voicing going around over there, believe me, it's a nightmare.

5 - The people "modding" for free are doing it for fun, not so their changes can be used officially in a game, and tested by the whole community.
