Wouldn't hold my breath, waiting for the proper commander update. I think this is probably it for the USF. No commander changes, just a couple of unit ones. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How would you deal with the following?10 Apr 2021, 14:58 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2021, 14:19 PMRollingStone Ask for help from your teammates, switch to mid side. Eventually Brummbar and paks will have to reposition, leaving bunkers non-protected. Use pack-howie to dislodge them, or spam Willie-P surrounding infantry and MG's - it should be protected from mortar's autofire well enough. Then push in with some infantry and jacksons, if PaK-wall and brummrar try to come back, push with infantry from their flank. At least thats how table-top post-battle plan should work, IMO. In the heat of battle you do not really have time to think, you have to react immediatly to some things. And it might look like inpenetrable fortress at that time, but there still some ways to crack it open. Or it is just a rant topic, then git gud Not a rant topic xD. Actually want to know. Yeah, did try it, thing is, something always pops up. Either the mid VP is being pushed, that is, my teammate is being pushed so I risk total annihilation if I have to retreat from the flank. Eh, it was 3 randoms vs 3 premades, so it was hard as it is In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How would you deal with the following?10 Apr 2021, 14:02 PM 3v3 Playing as USF Across the Rheine, top VP The enemy has a point locked with: Brummbar, Elefant, Pak40, mortar, MG42, infantry and a 2 or 3 supporting LeFHs from teammate (wasted a lot of muni taking them all down, kept popping up) I didn't pick a calliope doctrine. Tried to smoke and breakthrough. Brummbar just shoots in smoke and pretty much wipes. Pak howis were useless. Tried to flank, mines and MG bunker covered. Tried to take out the Brummbar, elefant and pak have it well defended. What would be the best tactic against such a heavy tank fortification as USF? In: US Forces Strategies

It will make OKW truck build only in base. 152mm Howitzer Strike The ability can take out OKW trucks and should not be available with Recon planes. PPsh The ability should take up the weapon slot. ISU-152 Since the Elefant change remove tracking from the unit since it should not be able to selfspot (same goes for SU-85) T-70 Since the MOP remove the reckon ability when cloaked from tank hunter ability. And what about OKW truck decimating a full hp squad in 3 rounds? If OKW wants to build trucks close to the frontline, it should get punished for it. Man, you really just want to nerf everything and call it a day? Losing hard with axis so you need nerfs to allies? In: COH2 Balance

Rifle Company still needs something more like a M3 Halftrack and changes like that should be done sooner rather than later. Larger changes need more time to be balanced and now another patch has gone with just 4 tweaks to the US commanders in total. Also yeah M10 with a lowered target size could be a good way to improve it. Seems like it should be lower for a quick moving and fragile TD. Dude, don't expect anything new for AEF. The balance team gives no fu**s. For all they care, AEF is OP in 1v1 and as such can only get further nerfed. Somebody said to me in the lines of << this is just the first iteration of the patch >>. Yeah, the 2nd one is much better xD In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback8 Apr 2021, 18:38 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2021, 18:32 PMgeneral_gawain After playing around with E8 in different situations I do thing the new „buff“ only makes it worse. E8 gets pushed back even more giving it less combat time. Lets compare it to M4A3/M36 combo. First point value is for M4A3/M36, second one for E8s. 1:0 M4A3 comes out 40 fuel earlier, has a lot of time to bleed german infantry and to help fend off german T3 with combined arms 2:1 E8 comes out and can fight a PZIV on its own, still it is a draw because already vetted M4A3 does a great job at bleeding infantry and supporting versus tanks while E8 lacks in the AI compartement 3:1 Jackson comes out 50 fuel before second E8 and gives you a long time where you are way better at AI and AT than you would be with a single E8 4:2 Second E8 comes out, it’s a draw again. Double E8s are great at defeating mediums, still M36 has the better perspective for fighting first Panther and upcoming heavies while M4A3 should bleed axis infantry as always and even can help versus Panther if it tries to dive in for M36 and exposes its flank by doing so (or it can shut down infantry supporting the push). (5:2) If you go for long term games especially in bigger game modes. One M4A3 with a pair of M36 is just plain better than three E8s in pretty much every late game combat situation I can imagine. The 60 range and HVAP is key here versus armored targets, HE-Shot versus blobs. We have to keep in mind: - M4A3/M36 combo is 250 fuel to 300 fuel for double E8 - E8 company locks out other doctrinal units and is especially bad in terms of indirect fire Revert the change please, it is not really needed for medium fights and doesn’t make E8 somehow better versus Panther/Tiger. It just makes the discrepancy in timing even worse. Either… give E8 small buffs that don’t lead to fuel increasement. Think about other methods to make Rifle Company more worthwile. Exchange commander abilities and/or give E8 a skill shot for a munition cost without raising fuel. Or… make E8 a real medium premium tank by raising its price to something about 180 fuel and raise its performance accordingly. I quite like the E8. Good for achieving critical mass. But yeah, otherwise they are still lackluster. I think that making it a premium medium for 160 or 165 fuel would be the best course. Or some other rework. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: COH2stats.com match and player statistics 2.07 Apr 2021, 17:13 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2021, 16:43 PMSander93 In 3v3 and 4v4 there are tons of players who are terrible (like 45% wr) but have one or two bloated 50-150 ranks because they grind or get carried a lot. Odds are that they do terrible in other modes or with other factions. I hope those wouldn't influence the stats too much. (3v3 experience) Not necessarily. When I started playing competitive, I had 13 wins in a row. Started at rank about 150. Then I had another 3 or something wins in a row of games I didn't even play because somebody DCed on enemy team. Got to rank 100something. Then I had about 10 loses in a row. A couple of DC, flaming teammates and just bad games from either my part or we played badly as a team. Loses but good games if you know what I mean. After that I oscillated between 100 and 300. Got to top 20 on a couple of occasions, even won vs top 10 players, but again dropped to mid 100s. Rinse and repeat for past year and now I'm stuck at 100. Rank 1500+ really do have trouble dealing with MG42s or pak howis or mortar encampment. But TBH, I haven't encountered a lot of players in top 400 that don't know what to do. Most of the time it was just bad decisions at the worst of times that cost you the tank or two and kaput. That or picking commanders that do not have a response to an enemy build (most of the times it was no offmap for lefh spammer). My biggest success in COH2, being a casual player, was that top 20 position. Winrate? 52% Were there games that I got carried? Sure Were there games where I carried? Sure I would drop the "tons" adjective. Because in top 200, that would mean around 150 are getting carried.... By whom? Who is carrying those people? In a 3v3 game, who is constantly carrying those people? And furthermore, if they are getting carried, it must be from some top 50 or sth player. Where are all those top 50 players? Also, the MM is designed so that the ranks are always averaged against the teams. If there is a top 50 player on your team, that means there is a top 50 player on the enemy team as well, or even better. Next, it's a 3v3 game. If you have such a big liability in your team (the person getting carried), then you really have to carry the s*** out of the game to win. Because a liability in 3v3 means a lot of veterancy for the enemy and not a lot of damage from your team. And lastly. These are random 3v3 games. Can you say with utter certainty that the person you PNGed is really a bad player? 50% winrate is pretty much the definition of "you lose some, you win some". In a game of 6 or 8 RANDOM people that's hell of a winrate. Especially considering the fact that if you drop to rank 600+, you're going to have a hell of a time getting to rank 500. Constantly getting paired with flamers, kids or people that have 2 left legs for arms. In: Lobby
