Thread: Remove the T34/76 model variant with the fuel tanks18 Jun 2018, 19:23 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2018, 19:13 PMKatitof How often you get obliterated in close range by conscripts fully merged into shock squad, because you thought they were cons? how often do people build shocks Tanks don't have icons displayed over them. Infantry do. It's no secret that CoH 2 is terrible at communicating important information to the player: we're talking about a game here that has one slot weapon icon per squad yet lets squads pick up two. Most of these problems are too baked in to fix at this point. This supposed problem with the T-34/76 however is very easily fixed: all that's needed is to remove the fuel tank variants which were added a year or so ago. I have no issue telling the 76 and 85 apart, the turret's all I've ever needed. I also quite like the visual variety with some having fuel tanks and some not: it's a nice touch like the different voices. But it really is causing confusion I wouldn't lose sleep over going back to just the plain 76. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove the T34/76 model variant with the fuel tanks18 Jun 2018, 19:12 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2018, 19:06 PMKatitof I'm going to +1 the suggestion about making unit icon more distinct. That is easiest to make and you'd have to be exceptionally dumb to not tell 2 different icons apart. There's no real reason not to do that but it wouldn't make them more distinct to the opponent which is what I think the issue is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Counters to double Churchill(basic) as Okw?18 Jun 2018, 18:39 PM Churchills have a ton of health but they have the Cromwell's gun. They're not taking down your heavier tanks by themselves. It's the Firefly or 6 pounders supporting them you've got to deal with. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove the T34/76 model variant with the fuel tanks18 Jun 2018, 18:18 PM The fact that this thread exists is proof that some people do have trouble telling the 76 and the 85 apart based on the turret. The T-34/76 variant with the fuel cans was added in a patch because Relic and the patch team thought it'd add some nice visual variety. The real question here is is that visual variety worth the additional difficulty it poses to some players? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British snare problem and potential fixes18 Jun 2018, 17:12 PM Pretty much every UKF snare idea under the sun was posed to Relic during SBP. They're not having any of it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Bunker without upgrades.18 Jun 2018, 10:36 AM I'm fairly sure you can still garrison the non-MG variants (or at least the reinforcement point) so it's not a completely worthless ability. No-muni bunkers aren't very good but that's true of Rangers and Obersoldaten too. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Remove the T34/76 model variant with the fuel tanks17 Jun 2018, 19:19 PM This is just how the game is. The T34/85 has a completely different turret. Other units with similar or identical hulls but different turrets: Stuart versus Scott 250 Halftrack versus 250 Mortar Halftrack OST Panzer IV versus OKW Panzer IV Panzer IV versus Command Panzer IV StuG E versus StuG G Four different Sherman variants And let's not forget Jackson versus Wolverine.

Thread: Please get UKF out of my team games, they are dog shit.16 Jun 2018, 18:33 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2018, 16:13 PMDragonul09 For the love of god just take this faction out of my team games, their emplacements are trash, nothing but a waste of resources, their infantry is trash, their support guns are trash, they are doing nothing but drag the USF and SU players down. Unless you're at the very top or very bottom of the ladder the matchmaker will compensate. You and every other player has a hidden ELO rating which represents how likely the matchmaker thinks you are to win any given match. Your ELO rating goes up when you win and down when you lose, and you've got a separate ELO score for each faction and each mode. The matchmaker only sees wins and losses, so it doesn't know why you're winning or losing. If you give an average player an overpowered faction they'll win more, so their ELO rating will go up. This makes the matchmaker match them with progressively more skilled players until they start losing again, balancing things out. This works both ways. If UKF is bad then the matchmaker will match UKF players with less skilled opponents and teammates to keep things fair. If you're losing more than you win then the actual problem is your ELO rating is too high and the game is giving you opponents that are too tough for you. In: COH2 Gameplay
