Thread: Churchill Crocodile is not worth the resources22 Jun 2018, 11:44 AM The Flame Hetzer's a decent flamer tank. The KV8 and Churchill Crocodile are a travesty when it comes to proper communication to the player. The KV8 has the same model as the KV1. Looking at those two, you'd think they were equal in the hull department. Wrong! The KV8 has much worse armour and health than the KV1 despite looking exactly the same. The game doesn't tell the player this. Same with the Churchill Croc: it's got the exact same turret on it, but for some reason it does half the damage. The game doesn't tell the player this. This is absolutely awful design, amongst the worst game-to-player communication in the game in my view. Give the KV8 the KV1's health and armour, give the Croc the Churchill's turret, health and armor, then balance them based on price and based on what's actually different about them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British snare problem and potential fixes22 Jun 2018, 11:31 AM all the soft snare in the British army, (tulip, sniper shot, AEC shot, gammon bomb) would just be redundant if the british get actual snare. Sniper Turret Lock isn't a snare: it does nothing to the vehicle's mobility. The same goes for Stuart Shell Shock. Tulips and AEC Treadbreaker are both long range. Snares are close up (unless you have the Panzerfaust range bulletin which frankly should be removed). Their purpose is to deter tanks from recklessly diving. The gammon bomb is as much a snare as the non-sticky satchel charge is. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Please get UKF out of my team games, they are dog shit.21 Jun 2018, 18:05 PM If you're getting phone number rank SOV or USF teammates they'll also get stomped on. If the matchmaker works then it'll try to give you teammates of similar ELO (based on probability to win) regardless of faction. If the matchmaker doesn't work then your games are going to be such a mess of wildly different skill levels that faction balance is the last thing you should be concerned about. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Please get UKF out of my team games, they are dog shit.21 Jun 2018, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2018, 17:29 PMDragonul09 I'm in top 200 in 4vs4 and I get matched with terribly low level players, that is all you need to know about the matchmaking, stop talking about it because it doesnt work, the player base is too small and it will take years to make a balanced matchmaking. Never had this problem till a couple of months ago maybe, when i realised that the brits are doing absolutely nothing the whole game ,but feed xp to the enemy mortars, artillery and tanks, they put their emplacements down and I look away for a second and their gone, I look at them how easily are harrased by vehicles and the poor saps can't do shit, it's laughable how bad they are. If the matchmaker isn't giving you matches with similar ELO ratings in the first place then they're not fair to start with. The balance could be perfect and you'd still get a load of one-sided stomps. In: COH2 Gameplay

Its completely and utterly irrelevant how it performs in unequal matches. It does not stand up in competitive environment due to all endless nerfs it received patch to patch without addressing a singular weakness of the faction and that is all that matters here. That's not what this thread is about. There's probably a grand total of one player on this forum who thinks UKF is currently good, and fortunately they've yet to show up to this party. This thread is OP complaining that they're put at a disadvantage if they're given a UKF teammate in a teamgame. This isn't true unless they're at the top of the ladder because of how the matchmaking works. If a player handicaps themselves by playing UKF they'll lose more. Therefore their ELO will be lower than an equivalently skilled USF or SOV player. Therefore if you're playing SOV or USF the matchmaker won't try to match you with an equally skilled UKF player. It'll try to match you with a player of similar ELO, which will be a higher skilled UKF player. EDIT: Rephrased the final paragraph. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Please get UKF out of my team games, they are dog shit.21 Jun 2018, 17:03 PM And how are you going to address the fact that top players who mained brits abandoned the faction saying how useless it is and how they are unable to compete? I already answered this. "Unless you're at the very top or very bottom of the ladder the matchmaker will compensate." or from the post you directly quoted "This only stops working when there are no higher skilled UKF players left to give, which happens at the top of the ladder." Top players are by definition at the top of the ladder where the matchmaker can't compensate for UKF's poor state. Current brits are pushovers, if you're winning against equally skilled player as brits at the moment, its because you got one of the "spawn on X side to win" maps. The matchmaker doesn't give you opponents of similar skill. It gives you opponents of similar ELO. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Please get UKF out of my team games, they are dog shit.21 Jun 2018, 16:57 PM If there are players in the matchmaking pool with UKF ELO equal to yours the matchmaker can give you a teammate that's equally likely to win. A player of equal ELO is by definition a player the matchmaker thinks is equally likely to win based on their previous record. In: COH2 Gameplay
