Thread: 4v4 King of the Noobs Tournament29 Dec 2020, 05:19 AM Excellent tournament, very enjoyable to watch on Youtube. It would be interesting to take the stats from the first 2 games of each bracket, hence the same players on the same maps once as Axis and once as Allies, to compare the damage done, k/d ratio and the proportion of AI versus AT damage for each faction. Should clearly show the relative strengths of each faction from a balance perspective... In: Events Central
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback29 Dec 2020, 05:05 AM Bolster isn't an upgrade, it's a massive nerf to the UKF early game and a necessity. UKF isn't viable without it. Also 4 Tommies isn't spam, it is the only infantry UKF has. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion27 Dec 2020, 08:31 AM Sorry yes, though the creep towards it being merely a very much crappier PIV continues though.. "Because of the above changes, the Cromwell is losing its target size advantage over other medium tanks. This is being compensated by increasing the power of its MGs to be on-par with the Panzer IV's hull and coaxial, improving its anti-infantry effectiveness." I seem to recall the nerf to moving accuracy was because someone thought that tanks should stop before firing.... On a cruiser tank designed for flanking... Yeah. Genius. I don't have anything against the Cromwell being more effective AI but it just doesn't fit the role. It would certain playstyles of course though better surely to lock AI upgrades behind Anvil tech? AI in the midgame to my mind for UKF focusses on IS with Brens and possibly a Centaur or pit. The Allies in general need something that can pick a gap and get through to damaged vehicles and mobile arty behind the lines though I'm not sure the recon element of this should be on the tank itself. Hunt seems like a gimmick. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion27 Dec 2020, 05:58 AM Panther buffs???? For balance!?! The gods must be crazy.... It's a completely OP unit because it can do everything. If it is indeed designed for diving against heavy tanks then why does it need the sight range of a recon vehicle too? With it's speed 35 sight should be more than adequate to find a Churchill etc. It completely breaks combined arms and always has done. Some bright spark mentioned that rather than reinventing the wheel why not merely revert previous nerfs. Seems sensible to me. For instance the Cromwell was a wonderful meme vehicle with it's ability to crush shrek blobs, though this was nerfed after endless moaning from very poor players who thought a shrek blob should be an I win button ( and it was) many moons ago. It is meant to be a flanker and to finish off damaged vehicles yet good luck getting behind a reversing Panther. A pintle MG is welcome but I don't see how it helps it in it's role. Saying that I was naff at using them pre nerf ( which I think was on rotation rate) whilst watching someone handling them well was truly box office stuff. It was a vehicle that really shone when handled with skill ( i.e. not by me) yet was nerfed into being a bland and far worse PIV by whingeing cucks and weirdos taking a great deal of flavour and playability from the UKF.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback25 Dec 2020, 09:54 AM I'm old enough to remember when heavy sappers also had 50% reinforce cost in addition to these changes.. Can't say they were OP then, dumb but not OP. Even with vet you'd lose several models, and therefore brens too, on an annoyingly regular basis to indirect fire. Meanwhile the cost in munitions was extreme for a faction which is always short of them. Where they did shine was in supporting Churchills into combat with a Piat per squad, more than 1 tended to mean losing expensive weapons. They could hold their own against unvetted inf and chip in against diving tanks though the reinforce cost was clearly to help with this role. Having to retreat 3 lmg squads after losing 2 models was tiresome and ineffecive. Only way I found it to be really strong was with a forward assembly and retreat point. Though for capping centre amidst the usual maelstrom of indirect and callins you'd still be sending your IS. Saying that the UKF late game is meant to to be powerful. Good change in my opinion and will be popular in the lower levels and 4v4s. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Chrome OS?18 Dec 2020, 19:15 PM Will coh2 work on chrome? I believe it does on other Linux variants so has anyone got it working on chromebook? In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: [DBP] Royal Engineer Doctrine feedback thread23 Jan 2018, 00:39 AM They are. The CV isn't OP, it's crap. You clearly haven't used it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [DBP] Royal Engineer Doctrine feedback thread22 Jan 2018, 11:22 AM So you'd be fine with the CV being replaced with an 11CP Command Comet with identical aura and vet properties to the Command Panther then Vipper? Comet isn't a bad unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [DBP] Royal Engineer Doctrine feedback thread22 Jan 2018, 02:23 AM Both the aura and the vehicle are clearly superior to anything the UKF can field. Massively so. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [DBP] Royal Engineer Doctrine feedback thread21 Jan 2018, 22:06 PM Sorry if I find it somewhat beyond parody old bean. Anyone else think the command panther is inadequate? In: COH2 Balance
