Thread: Unranked Automatch Hack14 Nov 2016, 21:51 PM No, I don't think this is what's happening here. I was playing with a new arranged team and was unranked. The matchmaking took about 2 minutes and 3 minutes each time. The matches his team are playing are vs unranked and rank 2000ish players / teams. This is not because of low player base. There are PLENTY of higher ranked axis teams playing at any one time. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Unranked Automatch Hack14 Nov 2016, 21:34 PM I have played a few games with Brosras in 2v2 recently where his arranged team that is actually ranked number 1 (allies) comes up on CELO as unranked. I investigated his match history. It appears their games are usually against ranks far beneath theirs. I think there is something fishy going on here. They are somehow blocking their rank from being used to find appropriate matches. I spoke on shoutbox about it earlier and someone else mentioned they had seen other high ranking players coming up as unranked when they have easily enough recent games to be ranked. Can anyone give us any detail on if this is possible? Thanks ps. Please move to more appropriate subforum. In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: Volkgrenadiers Kar98 is too accurate28 Oct 2016, 04:15 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Oct 2016, 20:41 PMMr.Smith I was wrong back then. I did some testing about that a few weeks ago: I was running a test: vanilla Volksgrenadier squads with STGs (focus fire off) vs Volksgrenadier squads with STGs with focus fire on. The vanilla Volksgrenadier squads won every single time. Then, when I moved to 1-model vs 1-mode, focus fire did not seem to have any effect. Thus, it's as Cruzz described: The focus fire attribute for which STGs benefit from actually adds extra damage; it doesn't disperse existing damage. Fair enough. But then what explains the real world results that virgin volks beat stg44 volks more often at long range? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Volkgrenadiers Kar98 is too accurate27 Oct 2016, 18:52 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Oct 2016, 09:59 AMMr.Smith If somebody reputable ever claimed that STGs deal less damage at max range, that definitely wasn't Cruzz. At least that's what the DPS charts generated by him would indicate. I don't remember the exact DPS curve of STGs vs Volks Kar98, however STGs will certainly beat Kar98s all the way up to range ~32. Very likely all the way up to max range (35). Note that none of the DPS charts so far account for the burst pattern of STGs. The focus-fire thingy means that STGs (like BARs) can still register a hit, even if their native accuracy would say otherwise. You're right, it wasn't Cruzz. It was a conversation with yourself. Here is what you concluded after a few of us did tests. "I think you have a point, and that was a mechanic I was not aware of beforehand. Rifles and LMGs have the "focus_fire" property on, which I assume is what turns singular LMGs into death-ray-laz0r beams. However, SMGs/assault rifles don't have this property on. This is probably why, even though the affected units deal a ton of DPS, they don't immediately snipe models. I have no idea, however, how the damage is spread (do they affect multiple targets within the same burst or not)." So as I said, dps does not always translate to statistically higher chance of winning an engagement. In this case the kar98 drops more models at long range and so is the more deadly weapon at that range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Blog 2016/10/26] Community Map Rotation27 Oct 2016, 06:32 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Oct 2016, 06:20 AMCrumbum Good that they are adding these maps to the game. My only problems are why are so many of them urban? Is it too hard to ask for some more open maps with some greenery on them? Also the maps are only for 1v1... Most of the community plays in team games so will we be getting some maps for 2v2 and 3v3 at least? the current map pool is full of crappy maps and its getting really bland to play. Bryansk Forest is not Urban, but it is nauseating in a similar way. There are shot blockers (copses of trees) everywhere. I think this is more of the issue. There are relatively few long range engagements. The majority lend themselves to close quarter combat, so won't do much for the allied bias at the moment. Nor will they alleviate from the metagame's boring over-reliance on indirect fire. In: COH2 Gameplay
