Thread: Balance Patch- First Impressions14 Nov 2013, 01:16 AM sorry, double post In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Patch- First Impressions13 Nov 2013, 22:44 PM This patch with regard to tank vet defies logic. For example: Both the p4 and panther (regardless of it's already very high armour of 270) receive a 30% armour increase at vet2. As it stands SU85s already have a hard time penetrating them or winning an engagement. With the increase panthers receive an armour value of 351. The only other tank beating that value is the Elefant (the tiger has an armour value of 300 and does not receive any additional armour with vet). To magnify the issue the zis gun is the only at receiving an increase in penetration at vet3. No other at option (true for all Soviet vehicles) receives either an increase to it's survivability (disregarding speed, since the limiting factor is always the pathfinding which causes tanks to stop, realign, start, stop...) or penetration. I like this change for how much value it gives to the panther and all other medium tanks, but coming from 2 team games where I tried to face panthers and p4s, it is rather frustrating if you're on the receiving end. I haven't tried it in a 1v1 environment yet, but the p4 (being the standard unit to build) might cause similar problems. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: yay for less rng for buildings 12 Nov 2013, 01:15 AM I think something went wrong when copy and pasting the entry about the 120mm 120mm Mortar Cost from 360 MP to 400 MP Range from 120 to 100 Scatter ratio from 0.1 to 0.15 Distance scatter max from 14 to 15 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: THis game is just one BUG12 Nov 2013, 00:58 AM Even more similarities then. Honestly, I have never seen them do no damage (maybe I was always looking somewhere else after giving the throwing order) but I'll take your word for it. Since you do raise quite a few valid concerns (excluding the ones I raised) I'd suggest rewriting your initial post and title since in it's current state it will likely draw only negative attention due to the accusing tone of it. Since the points are valid they will more likely be heard if presented in a objective manner. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: THis game is just one BUG12 Nov 2013, 00:31 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2013, 14:09 PMBasilone PTRS and Zis could use a penetration buff but even right now you still have buttton, mark vehicle, SU85, T34 spam, cheaper mines, etc. If Soviets aren't good enough at killing armor then the solution is to fix that, not dumb down the entire fucking game. Everyone is scared of aggression when a AT nade or faust can damage engine on any tank that was only in the zone for a fraction of a second. No matter what is done the AT mechanic in this game is probably going to be shit anyways since there are no flanking TDs, they just sit safely in the back while dealing out 25% dmg to most tanks with one shot like this is a Men of War game. The statement that the current at grenade mechanic is dumbing down the game is not only a baseless exaggeration but also false. AT nades and the Panzerfaust function pretty much like the sticky did in coh1, which is the frame of reference applied here, I would presume. The only differences are: 1) stickies can be thrown further (depending on the level of vet of the rifle unit) 2) they always do damage and cannot deflect 3) they have a certain chance to damage the engine (the state of repair of the tank is irrelevant) The new applied system to determine whether or not an engine damage is caused by dividing the penetration of the sticky by the armour of the tank leads, for all intents and purposes, to the same result: A certain chance of an engine damage regardless of the state of the tank in question. The only thing one could argue is that it is no longer possible to break an initiated panzerfaust or AT grenade. However this needs to be put in relation to the smaller range and the longer windup times in coh2. I pretty much agree with all other raised points of Lucky besides the splash damage and mine argument which I did not observe like that. I constantly only kill 1 to 2 members of a squad with mines. Squad wipes were very seldom and only occurred when the mine was placed in a very tight area that would force the entities of a squad to move tightly together (for example on semoisky between the hedge and the building leading down to the fuel point island) and even then you got the obligatory straggler behind the rest Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2013, 00:03 AMNoLuckyStrike When u selected a Tank and an Infantery Unit u cant use the button too retread when Arty is incoming or sth like that. The button for retreat is relocated to the second line, first entry of the grid due to the fact that reverse is in the top right. If you are using gridkeys you can retreat these units by pressing A or just pressing the button with your mouse. You can also press tab to cycle through your units and then use the normal hotkey to retreat infantry units. In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: Company of Heroes New Steam Tournament4 Oct 2013, 02:42 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2013, 20:13 PMrolades Post ur relic lvl then I've got no idea what my level was back then. If I had to guess I think I was somewhere between 5 and 10 or so. However, I'm just doing this for the fun and because Oktarnash asked me. If anyone, against my expectation, actually loses against me, he/she can play me until he wins. I played two days ago for the first time in a long while and tried jumping over walls, capping next to the point and evacuating a house by clicking the unit in it and then the spot where it should go. CoH 2 has made me quite terrible at this game . In: COH Central

Thread: Beta Play Test29 Sep 2013, 14:59 PM I noticed that the atgs seem to be a bit more effective. Was the max range increased? Was there a change to the t34 accuracy or was it just amplified by bad luck on pqumsieh's side? It seemed to miss a lot. Conscripts still seem to perform in exactly the same manner as they did before. Molotovs still have a rather high windup and are no threat to anyone not asleep. The person playing Axis was playing well (good unit preservation for the first 3/4 of the game, tank micro was good at the start but the panther rear charge... , not saying I would have been better in a hectic situation like that ) and he/she didn't take any note worthy damage from Molotovs. On a unrelated note, I think the artillery lost the Axis player the game. The way the p4 went down it could be that the defensive buffs from vet2 were changed. I also noticed that pqumsieh used the precision strike ability for the 120mm mortar and it seems that it is fixed now. Thanks for sharing pquemsieh. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Beta Play Test28 Sep 2013, 12:40 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2013, 23:22 PMpqumsieh Some have guessed correct, we're currently testing a new veterancy system. We're looking to better maintain unit roles through vet and avoid scenarios where units now take twice as many shots to die. What are the implications on the mid to late game viability of infantry if they receive less defensive bonuses or do these changes affect mainly vehicle vet? In: COH2 Gameplay
