Thread: OH hulldown / Vet1 KV-1 hulldown4 Nov 2021, 11:21 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2021, 10:28 AMSander93 Ostheer hull down gives a firing range bonus, giving the Panther 62.5 range, allowing it to fire back at Allied TDs at their max range. Which can be useful, especially because with the added durability it can out-DPM up to two Allied TDs with a bit of luck, but it's not that practical because a stationary Panther usually just attracts a bunch of ATGs or artillery and is then forced to move. Panther hull down can come in handy sometimes, in scenarios like having to defend a victory point to stall out the last few VPs, but most of the time mobility is more valuable than being stationary with a bunch of bonuses. It's definitely not a no brainer ability, which is good. On teamgame maps, "attracting" a bunch of ATGs usually attracts a bunch of werfers and stukas right back at you. It's definetely not a no brainer ability but there should have been some sort of delay when going OUT OF hulldown (a couple of seconds). The biggest downside is maybe forgetting that your tank is in hulldown and then getting it killed when you think that you moved it. On all hulldowns (allied and axis) there should have been a delay for going out of hulldown. Hulldown bonuses should be about reinforcing weaknesses (range on axis and armour or something on allies) but you shouldn't be able to immediately exit hulldown In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: My USF Recon commander rework2 Nov 2021, 18:42 PM USF Recon is fine as it is. The only thing that would be viable doing is making greyhound slightly less AI and more AT. Other than the Greyhound kinda not having a good specialty (well the canister shot can be massive vs clumped blobs), it's a decent enough commander. Especially since the para standardization.

Thread: What's the deal with tanks slipping on banana peels?31 Oct 2021, 08:12 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Oct 2021, 23:23 PMRosbone I believe this is called RUBBER BANDING and is usually blamed on bad internet connection/lag. This can happen in single player as well. I believe the scenario is: a) Command the vehicle to go somewhere far with lots of pathfinding b) During the traversal, give a new order to the vehicle c) The vehicle will register a new order, slip on a banana peel, go forwards/backwards like it has a 3000 horse power tank and weights 100 kilos It's due to the engine, rather than the network. Usually network related incidents have an aura of lag around them and teleporting/super mega speed (eg, you lag out, then your infantry/tanks will sprint to the destination, or drive 9000 km/h) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: When Relic call that an anti-tank gun30 Oct 2021, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Oct 2021, 11:47 AMKlement Pikhtura Single AT was never enough to fend off a KT, otherwise KT would be trash tier with its sloth tier mobility Completely true, although on maps like the Pineapple Hamburger port, it's not so bad. I mean, how can you flank anything on that map with vehicles? It's no surprise that the OP went for the ATGs given how USF ATGs have wide arc and that's good on such a super mega lane-y map with lots of impassable terrain. It's amazing how one tank can be Godlike on one map (redball, hamburger) and downright trash on other (Steppes). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: When Relic call that an anti-tank gun30 Oct 2021, 10:41 AM The general rule is that you do not build AT guns as USF in 3v3 or 4v4. Muni dump and unreliable against anything with more than 230 armour. Instead you get double pak howi or some sort of modular anti-infanty, sacrifice bars in favor of double zooks on echelons and major (and if you have rangers, on them as well). You get a much more mobile AT department whose downsides are: potential bleed and range, but other than that, much stronger than double AT guns. 6 pounder and ZiS are amazing when doubled in 3v3+, but 57mm, not so much. King Tiger has 375 frontal armour and AT gun has 130 far penetration (35% chance of pen). You will not land 8 penetrating hits on a KT to kill it. The moment I stopped playing AT guns as USF, was the moment I started to actually win my VP lane and win games, especially if you know how to use zook blob of death as an ambush against diving tanks (which happens vs OKW the most as OKW players usually feel safe vs USF in 230+ armour tanks) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Drop FPS29 Oct 2021, 10:57 AM Even if you have a strong processor, you can disable replays and gain some fps stability. Also drop the AA and snow quality. Snow quality settings hits hard on snow maps (duuh) and AA is just piss poor in terms of optimization (like the whole game).
