Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch17 Oct 2018, 13:03 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2018, 10:55 AMjagd wölfe If King Tiger becomes exclusive to Elite Armor it can be balanced towards a mobile Tiger-like unit with more armor but higher cost. Retroactively locking a stock unit behind a paid-for doctrine, especially one as well known as the King Tiger, might not go down well. It might not even be legal. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch15 Oct 2018, 10:08 AM I don't agree. Panzergrenadiers are good at mid-range cover fights. Stormtroopers are not good at mid-range cover fights, but they can cloak and ambush like Commandos. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch15 Oct 2018, 09:38 AM Point is they overlap with panzergrens with very minor differences, like it or not they are cqb units at the end of the day. The new Stormtroopers are indeed CQC units. Panzergrenadiers aren't. They're midrangers like Penals. In: Lobby
Thread: Bare infantry sections pushed to fight tanks14 Oct 2018, 18:31 PM UKF's Anvil Specialisation has Airburst Rounds, which impair tanks in an area-of-effect around the shell. If they're throwing flares at tanks, they probably have that ability. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: So Axis SMGs really are intentionally inferior?14 Oct 2018, 10:08 AM (no Axis units get a received accuracy buff when they receive their SMGs, making it impossible to use them as assault troops) Might want to check the patch notes again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So Axis SMGs really are intentionally inferior?12 Oct 2018, 18:08 PM For instance, if you were to make the T70 take damage from bullets and make it cost 50 manpower and 10 fuel, it would become 100% suicidal just like the 222, and the quantity you can put out would mean absolutely nothing. You seriously think a 50 MP 10 FU T-70 with the 222's armor would be a bad unit? It'd be the most overpowered unit the game's ever seen. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So Axis SMGs really are intentionally inferior?12 Oct 2018, 15:33 PM What excuse can there possibly be for just blatantly making Axis weapons and units objectively, observably worse? They don't need an excuse. It's a video game. They could make the 222 shoot literal confetti if they wanted to. Relic and the Balance Team don't listen to angry forum rants, so this thread's unlikely to achieve anything other than an ultimately inconsequential forum argument. If this game really bothers you this much, maybe the best solution is for you to simply not play it? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Help a Wehrmacht noob deal with RE blobs11 Oct 2018, 21:30 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2018, 14:30 PMAcrossThePacific Thanks everyone for the tips! Interesting that we get such a variety of ideas! I’ll try them out. At this level I'd recommend focusing on your own strategy and micro far more than your opponent's. At this level simply having stronger fundamentals will usually carry you through: remember the matchmaker's trying to give you opponents of about your skill level. I posted some useful links on the replay itself if you're interested. In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Wrecked by USF RE blobs11 Oct 2018, 20:18 PM You seem to already have a knack for the strategy aspect so working on your micro I think will go a long way to improving your play. Another thing that'll help is learning to judge engagements. If you don't think you're going to win a fight it's usually best to retreat and save your manpower. There were a lot of engagements in that game where you had single Grenadier squads fighting two enemy squads at once. Never be afraid to retreat if you don't think a fight is in your favour. Also remember to use the Attack Move command. It'll tell your units to stop and shoot if they see any enemies, usually at their maximum range where engagements are quite slow. It's not as good as manually your units into cover, but it's better than them blindly walking into enemy fire while you're not looking and is very helpful when you've got a lot to do at once. If you haven't seen them already, Tightrope's Starter Series and Micro Tips and Tricks series are very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkDhwSaDOBA&list=PLMJFmZl8aYOeoRdddMg7im6dwJHI4y7bL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rkp3LLM3WA&list=PLMJFmZl8aYOdW4tzX-S3VL2tq5JfuiViK In: Replays
Thread: Volks/pzfusil/Sturmoffizier mark target death blob9 Oct 2018, 18:11 PM Target the officer. It forces anything in its aura to retreat when the officer model goes down. It's such a crippling weakness that it neuters this strategy almost entirely at high levels. In: COH2 Gameplay
