Thread: USF mortar3 Mar 2016, 13:19 PM Because US mortars in coh1 were so op that nobody used them. That's why coh2 has none for the US. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What do you think Relic should do?3 Mar 2016, 13:16 PM People are now just realizing this game is broken and has been broken since launch. It only took 3 years, gj community. IGN - 8/10 In: Lobby
Thread: Brits need a heavy tank3 Mar 2016, 05:06 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2016, 14:58 PMAerohank Right, it's ridiculous that one out of three allied factions has a non-doctrinal tank that can stand up to non-doctrinal panthers. Allies should be forced into doctrinal tanks every time in team games! It's already true for soviets and americans; brits should also have weak-ass nondoctrinal lategame. This will improve team games by a mile. Because Lelic wanted to design allies with weaker but cheaper tanks. Allies already have superior infantry units. Rifles and IS will basically chew up grens and volks. Sprinkle a bit of Rangers, Shocktroops or Commandos ontop of all that. Allies have some of the highest DPS infantry around. The design of Axis is weaker infantry, stronger vehicles. Allies have stronger infantry and weaker vehicles. It's been like that since they made the first CoH. There's a reason why German players spam MG's and play passive until they can roll out their tanks, they spam MG's because good luck trying to pit grens or volks vs rifles or IS. Don't get mad at me. I'm not the one who designed this game; I just understand the design concept of it.... even if some of the design is dumb. So what happens when you give allies tanks on par with axis tanks? You get even more imbalance. If you're gonna buff the allies tanks, you need to buff the axis infantry to offset it. Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2016, 15:04 PMKatitof Or unlimited panthers! Oh wait... thats axis unit, it has all the rights in the world to be more powerful then anything that allies can build stock by a long shot, right? The British already has a Firefly which is supposed to be comparable to a Panther. The Firefly rivals the Panther. They're supposed to both be tank hunters. The Comet and Tiger are both general purpose tanks. Yet the German's Tiger is locked behind a commander. Comparing the Comet to the Panther is like comparing the Panzer IV to the Firefly. Comet should be compared to the Panzer IV and it outperforms it. Problem is Relic designed the Firefly with tulips (which was retarded) in the first place. They wanted the Firefly to be a shotgun tank. Just look at how redundant the M8 Greyhound is with it's canister rounds. Shotgun type of abilities in coh are stupid because they rely completely on RNG but they didn't learn from it. That's the flaw with the Firefly currently. Tulips need to be removed from it and they need to just increase the reload rate of the Firefly. If it functioned similarly to the Panther, people wouldn't be cryin' as hard. Also, I'd rather they locked the KT behind a commander instead, but that's a whole nother issue. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brits need a heavy tank2 Mar 2016, 12:45 PM The fact that they can build unlimited versions of slightly weaker Tigers that aren't locked behind a commander is already kind of ridiculous imo. It's like if you made Easy Eights stock and buildable without a commander. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vickers HMG: lower damage and increase suppression?2 Mar 2016, 02:08 AM When I watch the video, I see Volks being instantly suppressed as soon as the MG fires on them. I think the OP wants the Vickers to pin quicker, not necessarily suppress faster. There's a difference here. Anybody can easily take a lone MG out of a building, it's not just the vickers. Just run up to a MG42 in a building and throw a nade in it if it's completely alone with no support units. It's even worse for Axis because Rifles have access to smoke nades which basically negates all suppression. Suppression is just there to slow enemies. Once they're suppressed, toss a nade on them and force them to retreat. People want instant pinning shit and they have no idea what they're even asking for. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vickers HMG: lower damage and increase suppression?2 Mar 2016, 01:53 AM Let me guess... you're one of those players who throw a MG in a building completely unsupported and expects it to lock an entire area down, only for the enemy to just run around your house and throw a nade in it? The Vickers MG is one of the best MG's for slugging it out with other MG's, especially if they're in houses or cover. It will snipe most garrisoned units out of buildings and it's pretty strong. Just leave it alone. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: M26 Pershing Performance wise?1 Mar 2016, 06:52 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2016, 04:44 AMTobis That's not how aoe works, it's area of the explosion, not depending on range of the tank. Unless I am misunderstanding how you are interpreting this. 6x the far aoe damage is very significant to wiping. To clarify, I meant both. Tanks are more accurate the closer they are to the target, so therefore they are more likely to land direct hits on squads. I did this test in like 2 mins so don't jump on me that I didn't spend 5 hours trying to replicate every squad wipe possibility. Tell me, what the major differences between these two tanks are when fighting against infantry? Yes, the Pershing is better when it comes to AoE but it bothers me when people over exaggerate it because if there is a huge difference, I don't see it. The Pershing sounds better on paper, but I've used both tanks in-game and there isn't that much of a difference honestly. Add RNG in the mix and all it does is equalize these tanks even more. Sometimes the Pershing may get squad wipes, but so do Tigers. When it comes down to it, it's just a Tiger with less HP that performs arguably a tad better against the smaller German squads. (Even then you can argue the MG on the Tiger helps finish off remaining models). Problem with the unit is, USF aren't looking for another 105mm bulldozer Sherman. They're looking for a Heavy that can actually do it's role right and take out heavies head on instead of playing it like a flanking tank destroyer. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M26 Pershing Performance wise?1 Mar 2016, 01:49 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2016, 01:07 AMmiragefla Pershing AOE: 4 Tiger AOE: 3.5 Pershing AOE Distance: 0.75/1.5/2.25 Tiger AOE Distance: 1/1.75/2.625 Pershing AOE Damage Modifiers: 1/0.4/0.2 Tiger AOE Damage Modifiers: 1/0.15/0.05 Tiger takes longer for its damage to drop-off, but it drops off harshly. The Pershing still deals much more damage within its AOE. From 2.25 onwards the Pershing deals 32 damage vs the Tiger's 5 from 2.625 onwards. If the Pershing needs anything it's 960 health and its HVAP round to be cheaper at the cost of actually having a actual ready-aim time of 2.75 to 3 seconds so it can't do a sudden double shot. Right... that's true if both tanks are shooting infantry at their maximum tank ranges. But other than that, mid to close ranges are almost no different, also the Tiger has a MG42 mounted to help deal with infantry, tack on that increased +20% accuracy when it hits vet2 and it'll shred infantry. The Pershing has to get to vet2 to even get anything to deal with infantry. Also, unless they've fixed the combined arms ability bug making the Pershing reload slower, there shouldn't be anymore suggestions being made. They need to fix the game before they implement more crap. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M26 Pershing Performance wise?1 Mar 2016, 00:57 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Feb 2016, 09:51 AMTheMachine Pershing is fine how it is. It's lack of health/armour makes up it's very potent main gun. The Pershing probably has the second best squad wipe potential, only after King Tiger. It's a copy and paste of a Tiger with a different model. The main gun and all of it's stats are almost exactly a clone of a Tiger but with less HP and crappier vet. The only reason why people think the Pershing is good at wiping is because of the German's smaller squad sizes. It has nothing to do with the main cannon lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
