Agreed. What the hell does "war spoil fix never" mean...
Do you mean that the war spoil system will NEVER be addressed? |

Yesterday on Facebook, Relic posted "We're Live on Twitch.tv! Tune in now to get a sneak peek of what is planned for October's patch and to get a firsthand look at the extremely fun community-made gamemode, DropZone."
Did anyone happen to catch the stream and know what they talked about? |
For isgs and pack howies, suppression from auto-attacks need to be removed and added to barrage, and barrage cool down increased.
There also urgent nerfs needed to churchills cost efficiency (either hp nerf or cost and popcap increase, limit of 1 can do as well). Croc and kv8 damage. Squad wipe capabilities of mines need to be brought back to how they was before British release.
Axis infantry after cons and rifles vet3 buffs need adjustments, OKW need buffs in particular to make their tech and elite infantry more attractive. Most of their vet is too bad, and some allied units have better vet in three levels than OKW in five.
Just an FYI, the Croc Churchill is already capped at 1, showing some foresight from relic. +1 to everything else though. |

Having watched the replay, the style seems odd. Sniper "spam" was just 2 snipers, and the RE spam didn't really accomplish much. The style that Aimstrong used seems similar and better in terms of timings:
- you don't require an unnecessarily early AT gun
- skipping AEC gives you faster Centaur
- Aimstrong would rush T2 for sniper, and follow up with 2 RE's anyway (same idea you were going for)
- I think and earlier airborne officer gives much more use than extra REs (especially if you lose them all like in this replay)
- Earlier croc instead of 4 Centaurs would have finished the game... not sure why you held out so long, but I figure the goal with Brits anyway is to get the croc and instawin.
Just my thoughts. |

how much did the offmap RE thing cost? |
well done to all players on organisers
for shame to the chat during the grand finals though, never have i ever seen a more repulsive display of human behaviour. shame on all of you. |
I think the players seeded should be people who put alot into the community (like Luvnest), not just show up for a tourney then vanish again for months... Cough Aimstrong cough.
I can second what Basilone said. Both Aimstrong and I got into COH2 again around May (I remember because we would discuss meta and were trying to analyze optimal ways to play). This was months before OCF announcement.
Furthermore, to the person who said Jove and/or Paul should have been invited instead, I know for a fact that Aimstrong is leagues above Jove and Paul in game knowledge and execution. No one realizes this though because no one spams games like Jove or Paul. Their playstyles are crude compared to masterful players like Aimstrong and DevM, and because of such, their high ranks are a combination of some skill and game spam, as opposed to refined skill. I doubt many people watch Aimstrong too closely and only see him in the community when someone pride-posts a replay against him. Lol.
Plus Paul is toxic, who wants to invite him?XD |
Everybody seems to forget on how fast a p4 can be on the field if it's rushed.
You compare it to a later game tanks, t34-85 should be compared to panther, EZ8 meh it just come far later
The P4 seems to be fine, it's not his role to go trough defence and kill everything, you need to use it as a support and at an opportuniti tank, if you see a tank with damage engine, rush in, close the distance, kill it, blitz back. You have the pak (OST) to do the at job
And come on, the p4 vet fast, you need to be carreful with it
Now that the Croc is a thing: no, Paks do NOT do the AT job. The last game I lost against a Croc, I was so frustrated that I calculated the probability of killing a Croc with a Pak. Here's the numbers:
Pak chance to penetrate front armour (the armour you will always shoot since that's where the flamethrower is): 70%
Number of penetrating shots required to kill the 1400hp: 9
Chance of penetrating 9 shots in a row: 4%
Chance the croc will kill all your packs before it dies: 100%
Chance the P4 can penetrate the croc: 39%
Chance the P4 can protect your paks from the flames from hell: 0%

I agree with OP that the P4 is useless... I think a few of top players have felt this way for a while. The P4s window of effectiveness is not worth its cost in my opinion, especially now that the British faction has been released. The P4 may come out earlier, but a good british player will survive until Comet, Churchill, or Firefly. All are non-dontrinal, and all shit on the P4. Hell, the P4s chance to pentrate a churchill front armour is 39%. Couple that with the Churchills health and the P4 is useless. Furthermore, the P4s effectiveness against other tanks like the Comet is terrible too. I remember I lost a game as OKW to some Sturmtiger member, where his comet was 1 hit away from dying, and the REAR armour of the Comet deflected a raketenwerfer shot, a panzerschrek shot, and a P4 shot (yes, all 3 deflected, shot one after another). Needless to say, the Comet got away, my foe built a second comet, and proceeded to a-move me with tanks (Comet would run up and decrew 3 raketens, force volk retreat, and kill tanks. No joke).
My solution to playing with the P4 is this: Don't build the P4. As Ostheer I've been getting Ostwind for AI, and StuG for AT. As OKW I've been getting JP4 and Ostwind. Specialist tanks seem to be way better to have. There is no more room for shitty generalized combat tanks like the P4. |
