Thread: Assorted current Commander suggestions.8 Jul 2018, 18:38 PM Chosen based on one or two abilities. There are relatively few commanders that get picked for just being generally useful all around. Blitzkrieg is one. Most of the time there's one or two power abilities that the commander gets picked for and the other abilities are used because they're there. Ass Grens ...earned that nickname. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Assorted current Commander suggestions.8 Jul 2018, 17:46 PM That's the nature of almost all commanders: they're chosen based on one or two abilities. For Rifle Company that's Rear Echelon flamers and to a limited extent the E8. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Light Vehicle Meta needs to Stop8 Jul 2018, 13:50 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2018, 13:02 PMTobis It's really a problem with basic faction design that can't really be helped. In VCoH it was helped by having the ultra light vehicles for scouting and anti-sniper, coh2 doesn't really have an equivalent. Kubelwagen, Universal Carrier, Clown Car, WC51 (albeit doctrinal), and formerly the 221, which was 15 FU. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Light Vehicle Meta needs to Stop8 Jul 2018, 11:14 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2018, 03:21 AMGladeus-Ex-Machina As someone who regularly picks the AEC, I think they do come out way too soon, and the infantry heavy section of the game is a little too short. Or at the very least, make light vehicle counters faster to access. I suppose much of it is doctrinal, but maybe something like putting Weapon Racks behind T2 and letting Volks take a Panzershrek might help. The AEC is crazy fast: it has a rush time of only 85 FU (30 FU T2 + 15 FU side tech + 60 FU cost -20 starting fuel). However, it's a primarily AT vehicle, so it doesn't have the shock value of other light armor. If you include its side-tech it also costs 400 MP 75 FU, manpower that could be spent much more impactfully at that stage of the game on units with stronger AI capabilities. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman versus M4A3 (76) Sherman6 Jul 2018, 23:19 PM Easy Eight. They gave Mechanized the M4C for variety. It could easily have been the E8 instead. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Second Commander Rework6 Jul 2018, 13:33 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2018, 12:39 PMSneakEye I wonder how you would change them. Are shocks that bad? They are hard to use in open maps, but I read that many people think they're bad everywhere. Ps. I don't play 1v1, but I'm curious They're an elite CQC squad with no closing ability and with equal weapons on each squad member. CQC without a closing ability (stealth or sprint) means they usually drop models on the approach. Equal weapons means their DPS drops proportionally to their model loss. The infantry they fight usually have their DPS tied up in one or two squad weapons. Elite means all those models you drop are expensive to replace. Compare that to their main competitor, PPSh conscripts, who are cheap to reinforce, have Oorah to get into close range fast and lose PPShes on the fourth model, not the first. They're a difficult squad to fix though: if Shocks end up too good they become an utter nightmare. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How about we not have any T0 MG?6 Jul 2018, 09:50 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2018, 01:26 AMCODGUY LOL Grens beat the hell out of Riflemen and Infantry Sections all the time. Wehrmacht's T1 techining is almost immediate. Try again. So you do know why this change would be pointless. So why post it in the first place? In: COH2 Balance
