Thread: OKW's early game over-dominance22 Apr 2017, 12:43 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2017, 13:50 PMLoopDloop I mean I see what you're saying, but even if one plays it relatively safe, it's still a huge asset against the allies when defending large pushes. I think it could at least cost some pop, as the usf officers do (more free shit with teching, I'll admit). On the sturmpio point, the same could be said about brits going sim city, and while REs are cheaper, they don't repair as fast, especially if the sturms have a sweeper. Yeah as you mention USF get free stuff for tech and don't forget the British do too, they get an extra base arty. So really it's only the two original factions getting screwed by teching.

Thread: British mortar pit suggestion for GCS patch.22 Apr 2017, 12:40 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2017, 14:24 PMTiger Baron The British 3 inch mortar would still have unique stats and the Brits would still have access to the mortar pit emplacement. So their uniqueness and gameplay assets will be kept and not altered, difference here will be that it will be mobile and easier to balance than the current mortar pit. But if we're honest, assymetrical balance has never worked and never will, if you want balance you will need compromise on asymmetry, plus this is WW2, not StarCraft where you have different races and such. Doesn't matter if the Armies here are different, in order for them to be balanced they need to have the fundamental tools for an Army, why do you think the MG34 got added to the OKW by default while the USF received the mortar? You mean how the USF got laser accurate pin point nuclear launching mortars and how OKW got the worst MG to ever exist to match? How long did it take to fix that nonsense? Seems like their wanting to round out the differences broke the game for a very long time even more than it already was. The developers originally made the factions different, I think they did that to add fun to the game. Slowly slowly the game just becomes rounded and all the factions become the same. Don't get me wrong I am all for the efforts of the community and the teams making the patches, but I prefer we focus hard trying to balance things best we can rather than out right altering things over and over until the game becomes just bland team vs bland team. I love switching form USF to Brit to OKW. Lots of great variety to be had. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestions for GCS Mod: Calliope, Pfuss, 22 Apr 2017, 12:36 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2017, 11:38 AMJunaid This is exactly why the poll is there. We all have different experiences with a unit, but the numbers can tell us more if/when something is over/under performing. My comment was invalid though, I derped. I must be on crack so good I don't even remember it =) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British mortar pit suggestion for GCS patch.21 Apr 2017, 12:57 PM I am all for the continued improvement of this game 100% But it seems that slowly every faction is just becoming every other faction and they are losing their uniqueness, which has a direct impact on how much this game is to play.

Thread: OKW's early game over-dominance20 Apr 2017, 23:12 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2017, 23:02 PMLoopDloop I think the flakhq is stupid though. 0 pop, free with teching bofors that gets repaired by sturmpios (which run circles around everyone else) and has a pretty good range and the ability to penetrate allied mediums. You don't have to put it front and center, you can just cover isgs with it and they're basically invincible if you go t1. That's what I do when I play okw and I don't feel like using pumas (love that unit). The FlakHQ is a nice mechanic I think. It has a high level of risk reward and players have to think strategically about where to put it. You could argue either which way on it's damage and pen rates but the mechanic itself I feel is a good one. At the heart of every good RTS is calculated strategy and risk reward mechanics. If you place it too far forward and use it for defence you risk losing 120 fuel and your ability to field any tanks in the mid to early late game, so it isn't always the best idea (depending on the map and how the front line moves in the match). Repairing it with Stormpios is not as risk free and easy as you make it sound. If the HQ is being mortared and you are trying to fix it, you risk losing a 300MP squad to one stray mortar. Stormpios are super valuable and a heavy cost to replace, not to mention difficult to vet past 2 or 3, so losing them is big. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Inconsistencies that should be fixed20 Apr 2017, 23:06 PM Speaking of inconsistencies can someone explain to me the mechanics of the riffle grenade the Grens get. I swear some times it smacks a bunched up squad right in the middle and does 0 damage and other times it hits reasonably spread out squads and kill 3/4 of them or what ever. It just seems all over the place. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Advanced Emplacement Regiment discussion20 Apr 2017, 22:55 PM At the moment, I have the most success when I focus on getting the forward HQ down first. Since it can't brace and is generally weaker. Once that goes things generally go down hill for the cancer commander. In: COH2 Balance

Maybe there is no such thing, I thought I recalled reading that flamers could crit in some way. Maybe not People seem to mention something like it here and there: https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/191713/bring-back-100-health-flame-crits-for-heavy-flamers-and-molotovs In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Flamers19 Apr 2017, 23:57 PM Could someone also explain the flame crit mechanic? I vaguely recall reading about it but I haven't really worked out exactly how it works. Is just RNG? Nothing impacts the chances? In: COH2 Gameplay
