Thread: CoH3 Player Retention & Monetization30 Aug 2020, 04:39 AM It's been stated, but you figure they are going to release DLC factions that are overpowered in areas, people will buy them to get an edge, then nerf them once they have their money. Same could be said with doctrines. We're going to pay real money now for bulletins as well? In: Lobby
Thread: Why does 1 vs 1 feel like a big scam? 30 Aug 2020, 04:34 AM I play mostly 1v1 because I don't want anyone to screw up my tactics; and I don't want to screw up anyone elses' tactics. All mistakes 1v1 are amplified enormously. Had an advantage the other night where I had a Flame Tank and a Panther, AT Penals threw a Vehicle satchel, flame tank was too close my Panther, and both ended up engine critical. Then the AT Penal horde came with the Zis guns. Lost both tanks in moments. Unit preservation and microing is absolutely crucial. That's why treating your 1st unit Strum as OKW you have to micro that sucker like a sniper; it has to do the lions share of the work in the first two minutes. Lose that, you built a big hole for yourself. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: General Power of Factions in 1v1 28 Aug 2020, 01:48 AM I've been playing OKW 1v1, partly as a change of pace, partly to experiment to see what can be improved. The units are okay (well mostly), OKW's issues are their timing on the field rather than their capabilities. I'm actually doing an OKW rework tech as a bit of a side project. No new units, no sniper, just experimenting with tools on hand. If there are any experienced guys or moderators that want to collaborate, please PM me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: give the okw a sniper25 Aug 2020, 06:15 AM If OKW were to get a Sniper, I would do it in a different way. OKW - Battlegroup HQ Sniper - 380 Munitions 1 man unit. Rather than dropping units, its more of an HP vampire, with vetting it has suppression capability similar to RE troops. Vet 0 Vet 1 - Wounding Shot - 20 munitions Sniper attacks target of oppurtunity, going for wounding shot and forcing squad to be slowed (yellow suppression) Vet 2 - Movement Bonus Vet 3 - Faster shots Vet 4 - Wounding shot now causes targeted squad to be pinned (red) Vet 5 - Self heal when out of combat ...But as stated earlier, OKW really doesn't need a sniper. Honestly in 1v1, what their problem is is timing, maybe a light buff to Volks. In: COH2 Balance

Losing one garand doesn't hurt anti infantry much, but not being able to put double BARs on rifles is a big no. And one zook isn't even a really effective deterrent for anything but a kubel. You can take like 4 zook hits in a luchs before you have to back off, and you shouldn't even be in zook range to begin with. Yeah because vetted riflement don't have an AT grenade. And two riflemen set up the same way have the equivalent of double zooks and double bars. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF Commander idea22 Aug 2020, 17:32 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2020, 17:30 PMLoopDloop Lol imagine thinking BAR and zook is the way to go on rifle squads. No. Seen it and it works. Especially against light vehicles. You charge up, seeing an infantry with a BAR icon, thinking your Luchs/222 can push it off, but then the zook fires and you are And they are not bad against mainline infantry either. That one zook doesn't seem to hurt their firepower all that much. In: COH2 Gameplay

Stormjäger So at minute 5, a 222, 3 grens and an mg42 have to fight off a stuart, a BAR LT with sprint, a BAR Cpt with mark target, 1 BAR rifle and a 6man Rifle with sprint. Extremely balanced. xD In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF Commander idea22 Aug 2020, 17:27 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2020, 16:05 PMSerrith Snip First off, OKW gets a stationary gun, which destroyed, will require to to retruck and rebuild. That's why me personally, unless I absolutely know I can get away with it, Panzer HQ stays in Flak Gun city. And you're comparing that to getting three free mobile units that can build stuff faster, access to zooks, 1919, and call in artillery strikes. Fuzilers are locked behind doctrine, cost 80mp to get to six man, locks out schrecks. Whereas a vetted BAR/Zook combo Rifleman is not locked behind ANYTHING except no brainer tech. At this point, because Volks can't thrive in the late game, Fusilers are the only OKW unit that can be a mainline and do well in the late game. Do you know how easy it would be to cheese that Rapid Armor? You talk about a hail mary, but you can build THREE tanks before it would be locked out. This doesn't stop you from building more tanks either. Jagdpanzer has hard enough time creating space for a shot against a Sherman without the inevitable rage inducing circle strafe nonsense. Heavy tanks are no longer locked to one, but they STILL have heavy popcap, and STILL are fuel heavy at 240+, by their very nature, you build one and your field presence is reduced because you have 22 or so popcap in ONE unit. Often I'll opt for Pwerfer/Stuka + Panzer IV over a Tiger just to keep my flexibility. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF Commander idea22 Aug 2020, 15:30 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2020, 12:57 PMSerrith I am under NO illusions this commander-or perhaps any new commander- will be added to the game, but its fun to play around with ideas sometimes. USF Elite Officer Corps Excellent training will let your officers seize the early game initiative. As enemy resistance stiffens, use morale(buzzword) boosting abilities to keep up the offensive. We can't let the Germans retake any ground, if the situation looks desperate, rapid response armor reserves are ready to be deployed on your command. 0CP Officer Training The LT, CPT and Major all receive munitions upgrades. The LT gets a 6 man upgrade that also grants sprint, the CPT gets an upgrade that grants the PANZERGRENADIER mark target and a the sturmpioneer medkit drop, the Major gets a 4 man upgrade that gives him the ability to call in a single SHORT(2 passes with a single aircraft) p47 rocket loiter, but must remain stationary for the duration(similar to major recon). (USF is the only faction that gets a free unit when they tech up.) 1CP Veteran Sergeant 100MP A SINGLE rifle squad may be designated to receive a sergeant. This will increase the squad size to 6, unlock sprint, unlock Rifle smoke grenades, and grant +5 sight. (WAY Too OP. A six man squad with M1 Garands, BAR and a Zook? With smoke grenades and sprint and sight? There's literally nothing OST or OKW has to counter that. Obers couldn't even live to survive against something like that vetted. Not too mention what would happen if they went double BAR.) 4CP Combined Arms You know what this is. Its a good ability, use it, love it. 4CP Cover to Cover You know what this is. Use it to lead your officers to victory. 12CP Rapid Response Armor 320mp 125fu When your victory points drop below 200, you may call in a rapid response E8 Sherman for 320mp and 125fu. This ability may be used up to three times, no more. Currently the E8 doesn't see much play as the Jackson and stock sherman combination make it superfluous. But, by turning it into a comeback mechanic and making it extremely cost effective-albeit with limited uses- it could actually be worth getting over a standard sherman or jackson situation dependent. (So in a close game that goes below 200 mp, you propose that USF instantly calls in armor that can roflstomp P4's alongside Jacksons with no fuel penalty to call them in?) Just a bit of fun. (Fun for you. Meanwhile my hair is turning grey at the thought of Bar/Zook 6 man Rifles with Grenades, AT grenades, Smoke, Vision and Sprint. Its like some rich guy walking into McDonalds when he wants to order from the menu and says, "Lol yeah, I'll have ALL the menu.") In: COH2 Gameplay
