Thread: Please tell me how my game is not rigged against me24 Aug 2022, 13:09 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2022, 14:50 PMBasedSecretary Not necessarily. I have not studied in depth the statistics of COH2 pen values but I would assume they are independent vectors over a probability space ie. if you miss a pen that does not mean the game makes you more likely to pen the next time to "compensate" you. You are just on the low values of the distribution of shots fired idk. This most probably. Chances not to pen a T-34/85 with HEAT enabled aren't too great (~10% at max range), but non-zero even at point blank. So missing 3 pens in a row may be highly unlikely, but it's still far from lottery odds. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is Vickers K moving accuracy is really 60%?11 Aug 2022, 11:56 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2022, 21:34 PMpagep The difference was in the hash file, there is one for COH in the drive. I updated my files and steps are here if anyone is interested in exporting the values themselves https://github.com/cohstats/coh2stats/tree/master/scripts#how-to-extract-the-current-game-data Great guide, I'm sure this will prove very useful for anyone interested in some stats-digging.

Thread: Is Vickers K moving accuracy is really 60%?9 Aug 2022, 15:51 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2022, 17:15 PMpagep Yo, how have you been able to get these data so well described from the current version of the game? Thanks Just to chime in here quickly since I've already managed to extract the live stats using the tool leithianz provided a couple of posts earlier.. The process is realtively simple. All you need to do is to extract the attribute.sga in the game directory using the official mod tools. This will leave you with a bunch of .rgd files for every unit, ability, etc. that can be translated into something readable like .txt via the .rgd converter mentioned above. A bit of a hassle if you want to do it for every unit in the game, but as long as you're only after the latest changes it's not too much work. Feel free to PM me if you need any more info.

Thread: Only Mouse vs Mouse plus Keyboard Poll16 Jul 2022, 05:06 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2022, 22:36 PMWilly Pete Uhh okay? That doesnt rly have anything to do with using hotkeys Hotkeys are just easier, less work for the player Hotkeys are quite literally a game changer, I guess no one could seriously deny that. You may be able to play the game and use all features just fine going mouse only (a.k.a. one-armed), but there's no doubt that this will severely limit your apm ceiling. From my experience, once you get used to using hotkeys or even keyboard scrolling there's just no way back. The main thing many people seem to struggle with to varying degree is, however, being able to use the keyboard properly in the first place. If you're struggling to find or hit the right keys without having to take your eyes off the screen then relying on hotkeys can be more of a nuisance than an actual help. It takes quite a bit of effort to build the necessary muscle memory to overcome this, which is probably why many people simply don't bother. Luckily (also for me, since I'm quite bad at using a keyboard properly myself) there are ways to make things a bit easier, such as switching to the more accessible grid key layout or binding certain keys your mouse. I can only encourage any "mouse-only" players out there to at least give it a try, from my experience it's absolutely worth it. Or, like the OP apparently, keep dismissing hotkeys as something for the basement-dwelling, no-life part of the playerbase and forever play with one hand tied behind your back. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: SturmPios Max range8 Jul 2022, 03:37 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2022, 18:29 PMShadowLinkX37 You can see most squads in the game have this issue at some point or another. If I had to guess it has something to do with the position of the model vs the position of the squad center. Similar to tank rounds leave the tank barrel, but distance for penetration and accuracy are measured from the center of the hull. This would be my guess as well. Not sure about infantry models, but for tanks there is a set of coordinates that defines the origin of each shell with respect to the center of the tank. This is also the starting point for distance measurements, such as max range or the (n,m,f) distances used in the accuracy and pen calculations. And since tanks seem to always aim at the center of each other, some tanks for which this gun origin point protudes a bit farther away from the center seem to have a tiny bit more range than others. I guess something like this could also apply to infantry models and cause these tiny deviations in max range described by the OP In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is the Commissar's abilities on sniper worth it?14 Jun 2022, 06:44 AM Though I haven't tested it tbh, it's probably not worth it. The 50% cooldown reduction sounds huge on paper, but since cooldown only accounts for about a third of the total delay between shots you'll most likely only gain a meager ~15% DPS increase. Now that isn't awful by any means for an essentially free buff - but the downside of +20% received acc makes this quite a gamble, considering snipers aren't too durable to begin with. Simply too risky to lose your sniper to a couple of lucky max range shots in exchange for a mild DPS boost... The +20% higher accuracy won't be noticeable in most cases either, as the sniper can't miss regular inf to begin with. Unless, of course, you're trying to hit retreating squads. Here the higher accuracy could very well make a difference, though I'm not sure by how much. Maybe someone else can and will elaborate on that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Stuart is the worst armored unit in the game, by far.8 Jun 2022, 06:53 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2022, 08:12 AMOKSpitfire Hey man, he has a PhD. PhDs are kinda overrated anyways... especially when it comes to winning forum arguments. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thanks A_E and the rest of the team!8 Jun 2022, 06:45 AM Indeed a well-written OP, wholeheartedly agree. Though other things have taken priority over CoH for me during the last months and I haven't followed the most recent tourneys, including GCS3, I also want to thank A_E and everyone else involved for making these events happen! Was always a blast watching those matches either live or on YT. And even if Relic decides to run tournaments for CoH3 on a regular basis in the future, such community events would be sorely missed if A_E stepped down from his role as a host/organizer. Anyway, hope to see more tourneys for either CoH2 or 3... and I kind of feel the urge to start binge-watching GCS3 now, haha! In: Lobby
Thread: Tiger balance in 1v1?8 Jun 2022, 06:30 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jun 2022, 11:38 AMpiwawsky 1. no it doesn't. It just needs to be properly supported - don't dive with it in the middle of the enemy like a charging bull and expect it to win you the game right there. 2. why would you say that? 1v1 is the hardest to play and the best to learn from so it would seem that you can't play 1v1s? Agree to both points. Out of all heavies (except maybe the KV-2), the Tiger is arguably the one that's working best in 1v1 if you use it well. Not the safest option for sure, especially if you're up against SOV, but definitely viable. But, as you said, stalling for one expecting to singlehandedly win you the game once it hits the field will lead to lots of frustration most of the time. As to the 1v1 part, I'd also say it's the best place to really learn how to play the game. Not to mention most of the skills/mechanics you pick up there translate very well into the larger game modes, so people good at 1v1 will usually be quite capable in team games as well.

Thread: When you have a konig you are invincible27 May 2022, 04:52 AM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2022, 16:12 PMKurobane It also gets 68 Vision with Panzer Commander and Spearhead combined which is pretty broken. Heat Shells should strictly be for armor only. It should not be a massive buff vs infantry as well outright deleting entire squads in one hit like its a Sturmtiger. Absolutely agree to the Spearhead/Panzer Commander combo being quite a problem. An anti-everything unit with that much range, armor and HP probably shouldn't get access to 68 sight without any significant drawback. But outside of that specific combo I'd say the KT is fine as is. Regarding HEAT shells, I think the AI boost they provide is quite a bit overhyped in general. For anything other than the KT the DPS/KPS increase is barely noticeable, since, due to the shape of the AoE profiles of those units, most of the bonus damage is wasted against 80 HP targets anyway. The KT does get considerably more mileage out of HEAT rounds against infantry, especially when in cover, but it's also far from the +30% the tooltip might suggest. Still, while I wouldn't waste the munitions for HEAT shells on a Pz.IV when engaging infantry, it can be well worth it on the KT in some situations. In: COH2 Balance
