Thread: [Winter Balance Update] Vehicle armor changes19 Jan 2021, 22:46 PM Problem comes from the fact that unit are balance mostly at vet 0 and veterancy overhaul has been long overdue. So some unit that have their base stat buffed become rather silly once vetted. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 64 Bit Update Bug Reporting19 Jan 2021, 17:52 PM Played a game vs UKF in alliance of defiance. One UKF was using valentine from time to time there was graphical animation that indicated aerial near (similar with the one get from Pathfinder antennas)the top left cut off when there was not unit there. In addition I had Lierneux/poltawaw veto as 2v2 map and now it show in the automatch maps In: Lobby

Thread: Various bugs, game play issues18 Jan 2021, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 16:25 PMReverb I can try to position my units using the small colored diamonds on the map and will still be unable to position the unit on these small colored diamonds. Are you using 1 squad or more? The point work pretty accurately for me when I use I squad but one has to click without moving the cursor. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Various bugs, game play issues18 Jan 2021, 16:24 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 16:18 PMReverb ... 3. Inability to use cover correctly Essentially I cannot use cover as the game is designed. Say I want to put a unit behind a green cover wall, I select the unit then click drag the squad to spread out along the wall, as I see everyone doing in streams and such. My units do not do this, they go to vicinity of the green cover wall but never to the position I click dragged to, most times they will place themselves on the opposite side of the wall. I have to click around the wall 10-15 times until they are positioned in a way that is sort of usable (rarely ideal). ... The infatry cover is "sticky" and "smart". When you move the cursor near cover it will highlight position the entities will take in cover. Weather they will spread or bunch up depends on how close to the cover you move you cursor.

Try to be more polite to people that are trying to help you. All 3 unis have the icon when they are call in the game properly. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: USF18 Jan 2021, 12:39 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 11:47 AMProtos Angelus No sh sherlock that axis have lower penetration values. They are going against lower armour. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Furthermore, the penetration values are not proportionally lower compared to higher armour values, the whole point of axis factions. Yes the are not proportional that is why Easy 8 has a clear penetration advantage over PzIV J contrary to what you post implied. Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 11:47 AMProtos Angelus WP is a glorified smoke. The shells come is slow succession and they are easy to dodge. I didn't say it's useless, so learn to read. Play with the WP and you'll see that it's highly situational on most maps. Nothing but a glorified smoke for that price. If the price were 100 MP, then it would have been much more useful. White phosphorous is not simply (or glorified) smoke, one is a sight blocker the other does damage and slow down. At 100 mu it would cheaper and far superior from "incendiary bombing run", yes it would more useful simply because it would be OP. The ability is simply fine and the price is not expensive. Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 11:47 AMProtos Angelus Flamethrowers do not decrease the range, no sh sherlock. Do people really need to spell it out for you to understand? Learn to read between the lines. If it does not decrease range then sdo not write that it does decrease range. Simply learn to write what you want to say instead of posting things that factually wrong. Flamer have no effect in the range of other weapons of the squad regardless of what attack command one give contrary to what you have posted. Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 11:47 AMProtos Angelus "Simply move in" sure, let me move in to a P4. And I do agree that flamethrowers and zooks should not be combined. It's suicide, which is my point exactly. Can't put it on echelons if they have flame, can't put it on rifles since it's suicide. Major only. Thank you for proving my point, zooks become useless unless the flame squad dies later on in game. The argument that flamer are useless because they do not mix bazookas is simply silly, for the simple the do not come as a package. If one wants an anti garrison infatry then one gives flamers to R.E. if one wants a AT infatry one give bazookas to R.E. Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 11:47 AMProtos Angelus Seralia does not show the bazooka tab for the Paratrooper squad but it does for Paratrooper support squad (recon paras). Furthermore, there is no icon on the paratrooper squad that they have better training with zooks (like commando brens, ranger zooks, etc) in game. Won't discuss anything further sinc That is is incorrect Paras, Paras Support Squad and Range all have a (passive)Bazooka expert icon on the bottom right corner. No can you pls leave Sherlock alone?

Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: USF18 Jan 2021, 10:02 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 02:00 AMProtos Angelus I wouldn't really separate rangers from Pershing. Fits nicely in the commander, especially since they synergize well with the smoke. Either zook rangers for medium hunting or assaults on MGs. About the E8. It will never shine. Nothing but a bit more glorified OKW P4 locked in a doctrine. Sure it has more penetration but so does it face higher armour values. Funny how you speak of the higher armor value of axis tank and not their lower penetration values. Easy 8 has clear advantage over the PzIV J because of high penetration and high armor. A PzIV has 51% to penetrate the Easy8 and Easy8 has 66% Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 02:00 AMProtos Angelus A good tank, but not worth picking a doctrine that gives 0 late game value outside of an occasional expensive (120 muni) glorified smoke. Good for VP denial though, that smoke. Still expensive, but good if you really need to stall those last points. Saved me a couple of times leading to wins with less than 20 points lead. WP smoke is not a glorified smoke since it damages and slow units unlike smoke and it not even expensive. It price is 130 mu 10 more munition than "incendiary bombing run" while being far superior. Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 02:00 AMProtos Angelus Flamethrowers are not really used on echelons in teamgames, especially since they decrease the range of the whole squad on right clicks (eg: zook + flame). The sprint on rifles is good. The biggest selling point is the sandbags/mines on rifles. Flamethrowers do not decrease the range of the whole squad the range remain the same the unit simply move close so that all weapon can fire. Suggestion do not combine flamer with bazookas and if you do, move your unit into range instead of attacking armor. Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2021, 02:00 AMProtos Angelus Mech got nerfed via WC51 nerf. Don't know if further nerfs are needed. But I think it will still be picked in 1v1s most of the time. Recon commander is strange. On one hand you get pak howi + paras that have elite zooks (Question: Why don't airborne paras have elite zooks?) for quite a price tag, but you also get a useless LV that really has no use outside of 1v1. Great commander overall for 1v1 that loses in teamgames most of the time (the 100 muni is not really worth it for pak/paras in teamgames). Rest of the commanders are kinda ok. But truth be told, E8, Heavy cav and recon are the commanders I play 90% of my 3v3s. Seldom get the Pershing though, the offmap smoke + rangers is brilliant. All paras get "elite" bazookas" and so do rangers. In: COH2 Balance
