Perhaps we could revive that instead of making new ones? I'm sorry! I didn't see it until you mentioned it now. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Hi everyone new and looking for people to play with10 Feb 2016, 02:33 AM Sure, I'd be happy to help time-to-time. I don't have a mic, unfortunately. I'm on the EST zone. I'm familiar with all factions though I tend to play Allies (USF/UKF/USSR in that order). Name: green. In: New Members

Perhaps the canister shot could be changed from insta-wipe to reducing the overall health of the squad like the WP smoke shot (instead of damage over time, the effect is near instantaneous). The main gun and riflemen can easily pick off the grens thereafter. In: COH2 Gameplay

Reminds me of the G43 upgrades for fusiliers to spot further. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Severely underperforming USF units9 Feb 2016, 22:33 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2016, 07:15 AMdasheepeh it would however need increased range to make it somewhat useful when its not really killing infantry.. That's a good suggestion. It'll work. Treat the canister shot like an instant WP smoke shot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brits, a plea9 Feb 2016, 04:10 AM +1. I also play UKF, and I could not agree more. I only build emplacements mid-late game once I get a feeling how the opponents play, and only if it helps the team. I remember one game where a teammate builds a simcity in the forest, and clusters it with manned team weapons AND infantry. Sad to say all 4 axis players proceeded to wreck the remaining 3 allies...

Thread: Severely underperforming USF units9 Feb 2016, 03:53 AM Regarding the greyhound, the canister shot is okay. Facing it pre-nerf was a nightmare. Use the canister shot and poof an axis squad disappears. I'd rather have the canister ability reduce the receiving squad's health (and maybe stunning them). This minimizes the RNG factor and allows it to work in sync with Rifles to pick off the grens. Generally, the greyhound is in a weird spot. It fills the role of a fast scout vehicle, but we have also have an M20 that can plant mines. It also does not scale well into-late game. I wrote out my thoughts in another topic. Keeping with the commander 'flavour', it's veterancy bonuses should be changed: >Vet1: Gains ability "Recon Tracking"; Similar to the USSR T-70 ability, the greyhound will temporarily (20s) have an increased sight radius and track infantry on the minimap. The drawback: the greyhound's movements will slow down by ~50% and the main gun will not fire. >Vet2: Increased line of sight. (+ established vet bonuses) >Vet3: Increase the line of sight of nearby infantry and vehicles. (+ established vet bonuses) It will be a good recon vehicle early game, and it can provide passive support in mid-late game when it's no longer useful on the front lines. Its fragility will balance out its bonuses. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Severely underperforming USF units9 Feb 2016, 03:46 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2016, 02:52 AMOmega_Warrior I don't understand why they didn't just use the same system as COH1. Paradropping unmanned non-doc weapns is such a stupid ability. It's just so much cheaper to buy them. The only benefit is that you don't need to tech, but either way you have atleast one useless ability. It's rarely used and for a good reason. Besides avoiding tech, I believe it was meant to be dropped with paras behind enemy lines. The paras can man the weapons and reinforce with the beacons nearby. It's a neat idea, but it's difficult and costly to pull off. I've only used this method once or twice (to good effect, but we were already winning). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Recon Commander suggested changes9 Feb 2016, 03:42 AM True, it would feel like a copy and paste. I suppose the 2 squad call-in is good too. It can be used as a last resort for high inf losses. Or the paratroopers can take on an AI role while vet rifles are equipped with 'zooks for AT role. It would be nice if Relic were to apply these changes. In: COH2 Gameplay
