It was a 10 episode CoH1 series where me and an analyst helped cast an improving player's play in an entertaining way, but also tried to be informative.
I'm now gonna do a series for CoH2, if you can help it would be much appreciated, starting in September and once a week. The format is informal, and will mostly include us casting and me asking you questions on what we see.
I've still got a question about the noise of tanks in general though.
Did the tankcrew had some kind of earplugs/Headphones? I can't imagine them being completely exposed to the noise?
Just an FYI but Tigers were relatively quiet tanks, crazy I know. You can hear the low hum of the exhaust louder than the creak of the tracks and wheels. I think it has something to do with the realtively low RPM and the build quality in general. British and American tanks were a hell of a lot louder than their German counterparts, lots of squeaking and clanking, often losing the element of the surprise as a result.
Great article! In addition to how the article that shows how our perception of the Tiger is mostly smoke and mirrors allow me to first of all speak about the famous Tiger 131 at Bovington which was knocked out by a lowly Churchill as the round hit the mantlet and ricochetted into the crew compartment killing the gunner and driver. Heavy tanks could go down very quickly just as medium tanks could.
If you want some more perspective on just how vulnerable tiger's were by 1945 here's a quote about 76mm Shermans vs. Tigers from former Chieftain tank commander and history buff, Nicholas Moran:
Just donated the same amount as a pint at my local pub, therefore theoretically I'm buying the winner of this tournament a beer, at my level of disposable income I can fully justify that .
Great concept eager to see how this tournament pans out, could be a major success for the CoH community.
OK the original motivation for this post comes from my moderation of the companyofheroes subreddit. I see this question asked three times a week at least therefore wrote a guide on it, from my experience it's definitely something new players struggle with. For example running a search for "buy" on /r/CompanyofHeroes gives:
So yeah, there definitely was a market for this post, and I asked the staff at COH2.ORG whether they wanted it reformatted for this site they said yes.
The biggest problem this game has is the toxic cunts that play it.
You don`t have to be offended by what I said though, I just criticized the topic.
Another question, how many new users we have on coh2.org that do not own the game?
I always had the impression people bought the game first and then looked at forums
I'm not offended I just think your criticisms are illogical.
People tend to do research before they buy a game, especially game that had a faulted release like CoH2 did but is often on steam sales. The strength of the multiplayer community is a big factor, therefore a guide like this would be very helpful.
I am not denying an effort that was put into the topic. But if you summarize it n tl:dr; then its just buy whatever you feel like buying, thats why I said that it was kinda useless but this is my opinion
It doesn't say buy what you feel like buying it says assess what type of player you are and make informed decisions based on that. No guide should 100% tell you what to do with your own money.
This wasn't written for you anyway as you own the game.
Considering the volume of people that ask the same questions about what to buy I'd say not.
"Isn`t that a bit of a dumb reason not to buy the standard game?"
Lot's of people didn't buy CoH2 based on negative user reviews, so lot's of people are stupid according to your statement.
"And a bit offensive towards Russians?"
Not in the slightest.... have you never read the Steam reivews? CoH2 has a 2.0 user score rating based on THOUSANDS of 0.0 reviews by Russian users, based on the campaigns negative highlighting of NKVD blocking troops etc. So you're saying you're offended by me pointing out that lots of Russians were offended when the game came out.....?
That's 1 hours and 47 minutes sorry.... stupid map!
It's Langreskaya and I played conservatively as Wehrmacht as he tried to smash me. He is a top 500 US player and a lot better than me, but I just defended and ground him down. Then it was wave attack as we both traded the central VP for an hour..... such a fun hour.
