Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 10 Sep 2020, 14:48 PM Seriously? I main OKW as axis and play allies. It's one of the best artys in the game. Love it as OKW, hate it as allies In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF: Move Rifleman AT rifle nade from vet1 to base upgrade9 Sep 2020, 11:26 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2020, 10:42 AMOlekman I recall that last Winter Patch someone proposed that AT Rifle Grenade would unlock for Riflemen regardless of their vet level after producing a Major as a part of "T4 passive bonuses" design that's going on, similar to how Mobilize Reserves unlocks on all Conscripts after building Soviet T4. I think that's a good way of doing it that wouldn't affect balance too much. That sounds good In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF: Move Rifleman AT rifle nade from vet1 to base upgrade8 Sep 2020, 21:33 PM As title. I think losing a rifle squad mid-late game is too punishing if you have your own armour on the field because USF tanks rely so heavily on mobility and snaring enemy armour to survive. This change won't effect early or mid game so much, but will make it easier for a USF player to know that they have a for-sure snare capable unit they can build and position in front of their fragile tanks. Hopefully giving USF a less hectic and micro-heavy late game. Should be bundled into the existing base grenade upgrade for no extra cost In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should I put Brens on assault officer?14 Aug 2020, 16:34 PM As title. How do they compare to the SMGs? thanks In: UKF Strategies
Thread: List of my Suggestions for Balance with reasoning1 Jul 2020, 13:16 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2020, 21:31 PMKatitof How else would you do it? All of your army is following attack move in one place, how else would you defend your completely open flanks and backline while your army marches forward like moba creeps on mid lane? Welp, clearly a l2p issue. Spread out, move about, use recon, light vehicles are good for stopping harassment, learn when to concentrate forces and when to spread them out. Never think of caches as an anti-cap measure, they're a resource structure that requires defending, use when you have manpower to burn and build them successively from the furthest back points to the most vulnerable.

Thread: Winter Patch - Current state of doctrinal armour21 Jun 2020, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2020, 09:22 AMJames Hale Whilst I don't necessarily disagree with adding the Jumbo in some form, the issue is that it would require a new model. From what I understand Relic are running a skeleton crew on supporting this game and are highly unlikely to do any new modelling or animation work for the game. They didn't look much different . . . a lot like the 76mm sherman in-game now. my 2cents is use the 76mm sherman skin (esp. if it's removed and replaced with E8) and make a shield/elephant icon similar to the sword for assault tommies In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: USF M20 dead?5 Jun 2020, 00:05 AM +1 for making Armour stock and giving it .50cal AT rounds. Then a small price increase. Edit: What's the late-game utility of the M20? I've started to get back into USF and I'm not sure if it's something worth keeping around? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF M20 dead?4 Jun 2020, 19:25 PM Is there an argument for removing and replacing it with the M8 from recon support? Then find something else to go in that commander. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UTT and the 2v2 meta - already stale?3 Jun 2020, 17:04 PM Brit's need a non-doc indirect that doesn't need a sacrificial inf charge so badly. The emplacements are so hard to balance because they become useless in some game modes or overpowered in others. e.g. the mortar pit & 17pdr could be replaced with a 'heavy weapons emplacement'. Basically trench built by Ro.E that can be garrisoned (and degarrisoned) by a mortar crew (added into the roster) and the 6pdr. Then give the garrisoned unit some ability or buff for it's trouble (ROF/range etc). UKF gets the bread and butter units (faction variety can go too far) but still have a nice quirk that's not as cheesy as the pop-cap gobbling, wildly effective then pointless (depending on game mode) emplacements. Take the bofors model, strip the gun from the centre and use that. Can make the garrisoned weapon invulnerable to decrewing, weapon is abandoned on the floor when the emplacement is destroyed. Obviously this would be cheaper but not as strong as current emplacements and not take up any popcap (since they're technically neutral like trenches) In: Lobby
Thread: Small efficiencies in north spawn camera rotation22 May 2020, 14:07 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2020, 12:53 PMA_E I was getting mocked on a twitch stream earlier today, made me think it wasn't as obvious as I assumed so thought I'd make this video to clarify the logic. I don't think anyone can be accused of being at fault for not recognising it, it's it's hard to pick up on if someone hasn't played many RTS games, but if you have it glares you in the face. Mechanics like I mentioned should be a given for any RTS game, along with, in my opinion, full-map zoom outs like in Wargame & steel division. There's no gameplay reason to restrict a player's view, it just makes it harder to absorb information. That players have to consciously adjust in COH2 is a failure in ui design. Actually the whole COH2 ui is pretty bad, so much dead space. P.S I have a 1920x1080 display, my hud scale adjustment it locked on max, how do I reduce it? In: COH2 Gameplay
