Thread: grenades3 May 2017, 01:43 AM In my noobish biased opinion, it's the fuse time on these things that is my complaint, gimmie just half a second more time to react, because it is pretty damn cheap for the chance of wiping a squad. AT least then the other player has to be a tad more cunning about where they throw the thing.

Thread: grenades2 May 2017, 02:57 AM I think at my level this is the thing that is bugging me, I said the wrong grenade in my original post - this thing http://www.stat.coh2.hu/weapon.php?filename=panzer_grenadier_bundled_stielgranate_mp. The amount of fully vetted up squads I lose to a single bloody gammon bomb grenade, which for it's potency and consistency at wiping entire full health squads seems to have a ridiculously short fuse. That is more what bugs me, and I guess it is just my skill level. But I have honest to zombie space jesus hit retreat more than a few times the very instant the timer starts and still lost an entire squad, it was worse before the patch with the bunching stuff, but I have still had it since. My issue is with the timer more than anything, I just can't react fast enough even when I am looking at the freaking engagement, I'm using hotkeys, literally see it thrown hit R and lose a whole squad. So my issue is less with the randomness of the american grenades, but how craptacular they are in comparison.

Thread: grenades1 May 2017, 04:01 AM World's most biased player here. I find pretty much everything in the game pretty damn good and balanced these days. But my gawd, why do the US grenades have to be so damn random, random and frequently ineffectual in comparison to axis. Asking as a totally biased player to players who aren't. Do the US grenades and to a lesser extent the mines feel annoyingly random to anyone else? I know you have to chip away health before they are useful etc. And yes on occasion they are devastating, just the inconsistency. It may be in comparison to the bundle grenade that you have to be so bloody careful with, if you don't move BEFORE the timer sets of it'll take out a whole squad without fail. Maybe I'm more peeved with that thing, which seems infinitely better by comparison, the fuse on it is so damn quick. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Pershing Big shooty shooty abilty6 Dec 2016, 04:30 AM What in the heck is this useful for. I shot a tree real good last night, the whole tree fell right over. But can it demo buildings or anything. I've yet to find a use for it during a match. Anyone seen an instance of this being used in a cool and effective way? In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: HELP! assigning numbers stopped working last night29 Oct 2016, 23:00 PM My 2 year old was mashing the keyboard the other day - anyone got any ideas? Is there some setting she has discovered to assign keys in windows or something. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: HELP! assigning numbers stopped working last night28 Oct 2016, 19:29 PM Has anyone experienced this. Basically I couldn't assign keys to infantry and weapons crews (playing USF) But I could assign numbers to vehicles and howitzer. It was weird and infuriating. Just started last night. I restarted CoH2 then my laptop (HP Omen windows 10) and no change. It would allow me to assign a number to the rear echilon troops but ever squad after that it wouldn't. Have I accidentally done something? Changed a setting I don't know about or is there a work around anyone can think of? update - if i group infantry with a vehicle then it works... what in the... update - the plot derpens. it works fine - just not the numbers 1 2 or 3...?

Thread: Strafing Run / Calliope 22 Oct 2016, 08:16 AM consensus seems to be... needs work. Ability should deliver more consistent results, pretty random right now. At the very least, it doesn't seem to be a well defined ability, players sort of, kind of use it. Seems to me that the ability should at least do damage on the area that you target - that's just bad UI design. So spread the damage across the area displayed to the player when they target. Main thing is to remove the randomness out of it. If that seems OP then just make it suppress infantry consistently. If that's too much work then do as others suggest and swap it with something else that isn't broken. Sure there's bigger problems to deal with. But if there's ever another patch. this thing is clearly a bit broken and occupying a slot which could be put to better use. In: COH2 Balance
