Hello Relic and Community,
Some time ago, i watched a video on Youtube of a Company of Heroes 2 game.
This video is uploaded from this time, where the game was released.
At minute u can hear the sound of the Russian mortar and my opinion is that the sound is great!
I also like the idea of bringing back the old unit symbols (And this which are on the commanders) (silver) which u can see on the beginning of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BGT7AHa5-c
The mortar sound, i spoke about can be heard at minute 3.28-30
Perhaps you like more things which only were in the old version of CoH2 ?!
I also like the sound of the Guardsmen.... 
I like that too man! Wish they would bring those sounds back! |
Looks like they picked random people who farmed that way and deleted their duplicates. Which is completely retarded if you ask me.
I still got 15 k supply so I am fine whatever |
|
So they delete all duplicates without giving any supply because I farmed once or twice? |
Give that with CoH1 tiger ace frequent engine breakdowns as well.
Give IS2 30 second reload then yeah |
So shall they nerf OST T3 for being too efficient then? Or should they buff T4 for being too lackluster or expensive?
That is not what I am saying. All I am saying is that t4 isn't worth the investment when t3 can get the same job done. |
The Panther trades a bit of it's Rate of Fire (let's face it, it's not -that- slow) for:
- Massively better penetration than its peers
- Great Durability (HP/Armour)
- Great speed
- Insanely good veterancy bonuses
If a Panther feels a bit not-too-strong at Vet0, it eats everything alive at Vet3.
- If you feel like some of the Vet bonuses of the Panther should be gotten at Vet0 (like the Jackson buffs), I can empathise with you.
- If you consider that the Panther needs a straight buff, you're insane.
If you believe that the Panther is UP with its penetration and it's RoF, you must surely be believing that the SU85 is getting butchered in the next patch. In that case, if the opposition has gotten weaker, why does the Panther need a buff?
There is nothing wrong with the Panther's performance or veterancy. The problem is that going T4 and getting a Panther as Ostheer is too expensive. The cost of going T4 and getting a Panther could be better spent getting a few Panzer IVS or Stug IIIs, that will serve you better.
Going for Panther as Ostheer isn't viable, since you can get equal or better performance by simply investing in multiple t3 units. This also means you can have more AT and AI armor pressence around the map compared to a single Panther. |
Read again. I said they lack scaling and we were talking about initiative.
If i make a T1 opening as SU, we know that it's not the most effective strat but i'm taking the initiative and forcing my opponent to react.
AND you are wrong. Balance is done with 1v1 in thought, but taking into account any heavy implications it might produce on 2v2+ (devs have already mentioned this in the past and have done changes to units regarding their impact on those modes).
IF you do consider that 1v1 should be only mode to be balanced around, then you should also say that we should ONLY balance around top50/100. I know that on your first post you say tops are doing fine, but the whole point of balance is to do so taking into account properly use of units and strats.
I'll change a bit your statements. OH feels weak when not going meta in comparison to other factions not going meta.
That is not what I consider, but we all know 1v1 is the primary input for the balance changes. Sure team games are being thought about when making changes, but that is just to not screw those game modes up completely.
The point is that if you don't go meta as Ostheer, you lose vs any opponent that has the same skill as you or is better than you. Plain and simple. Going double Ostheer in 2v2 is suicide. Without OKW axis wouldn't be winning much of any kind of team games. |
Asking for Ostheer buffs by looking at 1v1 while ignoring the superiour winrate of Ostheer in any other mode won't enhance balance in any way.
You do understand that balance is done in the name of 1v1 and 1v1 alone? Your comment is useless. |
Who are we kidding here? Ostheer the weakest?
They are the best faction along with USF.
Learn to play the game.
It's a faction that doesn't let you win by blobbing, that's it.
Ostheer best faction along with USF? Do you even play the game lol ? |

Their early game lacks. But as soon as the first cromwell comes out, which is the best medium tank in the game, the momentum shifts. Combine this with a pak40 clone, some of the most powerful off map abilities, very powerful (to my opinion too powerful) emplacements, strong main line infantry, a powerful alternative to the panther, the best flame tank in the game and a sniper that can stun and damage vehicles.
Their synergy is the strongest of any faction. |
Super Vegeta!
