Thread: Range Rings for more Units10 Mar 2018, 01:41 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2018, 00:50 AMLago If the engine can display it like it displays selection rings that shouldn't be a problem visually. Just tested this with the Flak HT: the game hides range rings if you select multiple units. As for infantry, how much variation is there in max range? Ideal range varies wildly but I've never seen an infantry squad be unable to fire on another infantry squad attacking it before. Selection rings are right next to the model tho, i think that does make a difference. I dont know if most weapons share the same range, or if its very individual. In any case, keep the low rate and limited scope of patches for this game in mind, further implementations of features such as this seem very unlikely. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Range Rings for more Units9 Mar 2018, 22:40 PM You'd have to show the range indicator for every single model in your squad, otherwise its inaccurate and then misses its point. One big difference between a good player and average are those who understand the range of the unit pool I disagree, i think a good player can utilize such info well, but simply learning the numbers doesnt account for anything else than knowledge imo. Overall such an addition would probably clutter the UI quite a bit. Lots of unique models in Squads with different weapons, selecting multiple different squads with different ranges etc. Introduction of such a feature would not work well in a game like CoH2.

Thread: What's your computer specification for Company of Heroes 2?2 Mar 2018, 07:43 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2018, 18:16 PMinfernoVenom just a curiosity. everyone said the game is not optimized. I have minimum spec 8 GB ram, with ATI Radeon 5470 HD As with many games, there are certain settings that take a bigger toll on the FPS than others, afaik the kind of Anti-Aliasing used in Coh2 is quite CPU intensive. You wont get much conclusive data from a poll like this, youd be better off searching for benchmarks such as this: https://www.techspot.com/review/689-company-of-heroes-2-performance/ If you dont own the game yet and are unsure if your PC can handle it, then i can recommend buying the game, testing the performance on your PC on various settings and making use of the Steam refund policy. This way you dont risk wasting money, but can still check out how well it runs. In: Lobby
Thread: Request for Relic: No Matching with Blocked players26 Feb 2018, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Feb 2018, 15:50 PMDucati + 1 I'm on board with this. The people I have blocked on steam are verbally abusive, hate speech filled, racial slur spewing, potty mouthed trolls. Its not about avoiding bad teammates. Its about avoiding assholes that I shouldn't have to interact with. What would be my other option? Stop playing? Implementation of a mute button would solve that problem without screwing with matchmaking. That wont be happening tho, so learn to ignore them or play with premades. I have seen a big increase in people asking for specific features or bigger changes, and i have to wonder if they have not noticed how little attention this game is getting from the developer.

Thread: My idea to balance OKW21 Feb 2018, 15:47 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2018, 13:30 PMHooligan Coh Brits were moveable? Fascinating.. but wasn't it still a sim city faction? What was the point? Am brainstorming game ideas why are you saying debunked? These aren't conspiracy theories. Can anyone actually say why mobile bases would be bad and not interesting? BTW not every faction in StarCraft has this just the Marines obviously. *Terrans, "Marines" arent a faction. Dont understand why you would describe your own idea as "simple", considering all the veterancy levels youd have to balance, not to mention including a totally new feature of being able to turn the buildings into trucks again. Balance atm is not perfect, considering the low rate of patches it would be smarter to make small but effective balance changes, and not going crazy with far-fetched ideas like yours. I understand that your point is to make OKW more dynamic and mobile, but imo with the latest rework of the Firestorm doctrine you now have an option to play that playstyle. Moveable HQ's wouldnt really make the faction more mobile, most probably it would result in people using the flak-HQ as an MG on steroid, shifting to a different position after every engagement, which sounds pretty cancerous to me.

Thread: Su-7629 Jan 2018, 22:02 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2018, 20:44 PMthedarkarmadillo Except thats statistically untrue. A 222 will pen the rear armour of an su76 every time, shocks chance to pen an elefants rear are astronomically lower. At any rate the point is that even a 222 is a threat to an su76 (or a brace of them) that the soviet player has to respond to. Should they turn to respond they will be unable to barrage your pak or send a volley off into your stug/p4/whatever else. Dont bitch that such a cheap unit en masse can be effective when you COULD do the same with a cheaper unit still to counter them (yea its a bit more work, ill give yoy that but its a possible counter, or at least a reasonably cheap enough distraction) Yes, good luck spamming 222's, prepare a large bucket in advance for all the inevitable tears youre gonna shed.

Thread: December patchnotes + Bug report20 Dec 2017, 01:09 AM I also wanted to thank the involved modders that have made this patch possible. Balancing a game like CoH with asymetrical balance is not an easy task, and i hope the backlash you received from some of the angered people of the community was endurable. In: Lobby
Thread: BALANCE: OKW Sturmpioneer / Salvage / King Tiger18 Dec 2017, 23:31 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2017, 22:53 PMStorm Elite I tune out automatically as soon as someone brings up veterancy or weapon upgrades when talking about unit balance. The game is over before the first truck is setup if you can't at least hold one VP, FP and MP. And even if that weren't the case, you do NOT balance units based on something they get later down the line. The BASELINE unit MUST be balanced and perform well in some fashion. All Allied units do this, either due to high model count or high damage output. Ostheer Grenadiers have mid-high damage so at least they aren't totally useless (though the instant loss of one model upon engagement is a huge problem), but Volks deal no seriously threatening damage and don't have six models either -- middle of the road, mediocre, with no upside of any kind. I fail to see how balancing units according to their performance throughout all stages of the game is not a good idea. Volks are relatively cheap, have good versatility with flame-nades, fausts, STG-upgrade and them being 5 man squads is pretty significant as well (manning support weapons, survivability). Id say they do perform their baseline-infantry role pretty well. Removing the salvage ability from the Sturmpios sounds like a terrible idea to me. Its a interesting mechanic (gain resources/deny abandoned weapons), and is fair since OKW is the only factions without caches, with hurts them quite a lot, as they are supposed to be a lategame-faction. Sturmpios are pretty well balanced in their current state imo. Volks might get a bit overnerfed in the DBP though. In: COH2 Balance
