Thread: Guard blinding the tanks.25 Aug 2013, 19:40 PM Try getting closer before you activate the ability perhaps, and don't move the squad after you do since that also breaks it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Buildings: The Trench of COH 225 Aug 2013, 09:24 AM I completely agree. I think there should be a bit more focus on soft-counters & positioning in the game. You used to be able to defeat a squad in a building by attacking from the side with few windows and over time grind it down, or by sheer weight of numbers, not so any more. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tips vs Snipers with SU85 (1v1)25 Aug 2013, 08:56 AM Well yeah, an elephant is great, it slaughters any armor. However it's not a realistic solution due to the cost both in fuel and CP's. The soviets will have ground you to dust well before you can get it out. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: So does no one care that Relic is recycling maps?24 Aug 2013, 17:38 PM Sure I care, and I consider it a sign that they actually remember what made the first game good. So bring back Angovilleskaya and Semoiskaya too! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tips vs Snipers with SU85 (1v1)23 Aug 2013, 15:28 PM Played some more, using mortars/mortar HT once the combo is set up. It sort of works, if you can threaten the snipers with indirect fire he's not as effective. If you can chase them off you can follow up with PAK/pzgrens with shreks since the SUs aren't very hot against that. It's a bit sad that the PAK isn't better... In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Tips vs Snipers with SU85 (1v1)22 Aug 2013, 10:30 AM So we're really down to gaining a big advantage before they can put together this setup. I've had sorta-success with doing sneak attacks with flamer HTs from the side after drawing the Russians forward. Like give up some ground, let him come after you, then drive the HT around the side so it doesn't get immediately killed by the SU85(s). It's still a suicide run but you can get the snipers at times. Elephant seems sketchy in 1v1, as do Panthers (although i've not really tried for lack of fuel). I was thinking about some sort of artillery to threaten the snipers. So maybe mortars/mortar HT with napalm or the howitzer/panzerwerfer could be an idea. If you can get rid of the snipers you can hit the SUs with shrek squads. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Tips vs Snipers with SU85 (1v1)20 Aug 2013, 12:16 PM Thanks, I was hoping for something more concrete than a list of how the Soviets are OP though. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Tips vs Snipers with SU85 (1v1)20 Aug 2013, 11:59 AM I've been beaten a few times by higher level players doing this. I can keep up early game, but then they transition into snipers covered by SU85s. My PZ4s cant handle the SU85s (close combat is dangerous due to the conscripts AT nading it). And the snipers wack my infantry. Anyone have any insights on how to handle this? It doesn't seem realistic to deny fuel for the SU85 and I can't countersnipe, chasing the snipers with scoutcars also seems rather sketchy late game due to AT nades and SU85s prowling the field.

Thread: How do i use ZiS AT gun currectly18 Aug 2013, 10:45 AM That situation could have been fixed by not putting your AT guns next to each other on a line. Instead place them in a staggered formation so that if one gun is overrun the other one can shoot the enemy while the out-of-position gun is turned around. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to Improve Coh2 Fast, in 3 Simple Steps18 Aug 2013, 07:15 AM I agree very much on the lethality point, flanking does not feel strong enough, and it's mostly to do with the damage that the standard infantry weapons do. I think the support weapons are too resilient on their own, if they get overrun they should really be in trouble, as is they can just run away most of the time, they don't even have to retreat. Changing it will impact the overall balance though so I'm not sure it's that simple. The cover issue is perhaps more of a map design thing, standing in green cover feels pretty strong to me, at least my guys can live a long time under fire there and even avoid getting supressed if they're all behind cover. There's just not as much green cover in Russia compared to France In: COH2 Gameplay
