Thread: Mind-Machine Interface for CoH2 by 2020?27 Sep 2014, 15:37 PM Mind-machine interface exists. It's called "Windows" and it's awesome. But yeah, direct interface has gotta come some day. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Are kubelwagens OP22 Sep 2014, 00:20 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2014, 22:06 PMBrachiaraidos Oh the irony. There is NO good way to have a suppression platform that mobile, un-suppressable and incapable of bleeding MP. If the kubel was just recon, utility and light damage, it would be fine. Maxim is also fairly mobile, also unsuppressable (you can suppress but it'll still shoot) and had such low reinforce costs, the bleed was negligible. Now the Kubel has appeared, people who defended the Maxim are complaining. Yet I have not seen even 1 replay with 6-8 Kubels and I've seen dozens with that many Maxims. Because the Soviets have great counters to the Kubel. Don't get me wrong, I'm against having suppression units that can be spammed. It slows the game to a crawl and makes it boring as hell. Which is what Maxims were doing for so long. The point of my post is why people who defended the Maxim tooth and nail are now complaining about a unit that causes exactly the same problem but which can be countered in T1/T2 by soviets. "If the kubel was just recon, utility and light damage, it would be fine." Strange I've never seen you or any soviet-biased player (I'm axis biased, sure) say this about the M3HT. That unit has cost this game more players than any other. minimum fun maximum frustration. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Next possible changes for Soviet fraction.21 Sep 2014, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2014, 16:31 PMdasheepeh Because im done with writing long posts because no one will read or consider them anyway. So i come into threads with funny suggestions to make fun out of them. I've seen so much shit on these forums already, im usually better off having a good laugh than an arguement, let alone a reasonable discussion. Everyone with experience in and knowledge of the game can agree that most of the suggestions are ridiculous. Especially the suggestion with the 300mp normal and 380mp b4 howie. Haha, im still giggling bout that.. 380MP B4 would help Soviets break Axis armour, 2-shot kill on KT and Jagd, this is necessary for soviet because they have weak mans. If soviet mans buffed to Obers level, and B4 380mp, game is balanced! But seriously, OP, why are you only proposing buffs? Soviets have weak units that need to be stronger but they have goddamn strong units that would need to be weaker. And any changes that don't involve the soviet sniper losing his little buddy = bad. Change the sniper, delete the goddamn ht from T1, buff the core inf, nerf dem shocks a bit, make the su-85 useful (it seems to have no real role), buff the t34 a bit. and definitely DO NOT reduce B4 cost to 380 MP, nonono.

Thread: Game REALLY needs a patch21 Sep 2014, 17:50 PM Is playing as Axis so bad? My advice is to do the same to your opponents to see how they counter it. Then you can copy them when you play sovs again. In: Replays
Thread: Advanced Capture Technique but really a bug21 Sep 2014, 15:43 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2014, 15:37 PMThe amazing Chandler Inverse, you can say what you want. This is not right. Units are not meant to get stretched out like that. If it was then it would be in the description of the gameplay infos ingame. It is a result of bad or not complete programing of the engine. I don't think that Relic knew that and still left it in the game. Some hyper active player discovered it, that does not mean that it is ok to use it tho. Because you are hangup on the word Abuse i will say that it is an exploit! It isn't abuse or an exploit because every faction can use it equally. I understand the argument that truck-pushing is abuse (I don't agree but I understand) because only OKW has it. But if a mechanic can be used by every faction, then it's not abuse. Just learn it and use it. And I agree that the term "abuse" is being thrown around way too lightly. For example Maxim spam isn't abuse. It's Maximum spam, minimum micro. Annoying and boring as hell to play against / watch but is not abuse. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: @relic: new grenade bug 18 Sep 2014, 21:49 PM Is it a bug? I know it's a change but it might not be a bug. Most units would not benefit from being able to continue to move while throwing a grenade. Only shocks and they're goddamn strong anyway. When they keep moving and throw a grenade, it's very hard to see the animation and know you should move. I say keep it this way. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Bars are the worst upgrade in the game.18 Sep 2014, 21:45 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 15:19 PMMilkaCow If you want a constructive discussion, then please try to not showcase stuff in the way that profits your points omitting anything that doesn't fit. I can also present stuff in a way that makes it look huge, even with the oh-so bad BAR. USF Riflemen Garand long range DPS is 1.46 USF Riflemen BAR long range DPS is 2.95 THAT'S 203% THE DMG!!!!!! If you compare that with the G43 Grenadier Kar-98k long range DPS is 1.97 Grenadier G43 long range DPS is 1.98 That's only a 0.5% improvement. So USF gets a 103% improvement for 60 munition, while Ostheer gets two 0.5% improvements for 45 munition? BALANCE PLEASE! Even more WTF, USF CAN GET THAT IMPROVEMENT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you compare such weapons there are many more factors than just the DPS at one single range. LMG is a long range improvement that decreases the closer you get. At 0 range it has close to no improvement. Additionally you cannot use it on the move. The BAR on the other hand is another kind of upgrade. It's a straight upgrade. It's profile is extremely similar to the Garand one, so there is not one range where it really is a "giant" upgrade, but it just adds like ~4 DPS at every range. Additionally the BAR offers better moving modifiers than the Garand. So in total I think the BAR is a bit too weak right now, but not much. ~5% or such maybe, if you want to buff it more DPS wise you probably should lower the utility buffs (Firing on the move stuff). Edit: Probably best would be best to decrease long range damage a bit more, but increase mid damage to emphasize it's a mobility short/mid range upgrade. This would also help to differentiate it more from the M1919A6 Edit2: Fixed the numbers. Thanks Cruzzie. Anyone thinking OP is right just needs to read this post by Milka then unbunch their panties. If it doesn't convince you continue by reading Jinseual's post. Rifleman are very good from the very start of the game and continue to be good with BARs at he correct range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Does anyone else have dreams about playing matches?18 Sep 2014, 21:37 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 04:53 AMcomputerheat All the damn time. I don't like to play in the evenings for that reason. If I have a frustrating game against a cheesy strat it is pretty much guaranteed to happen. you mean "when" you have a fristratng game against a cheesy strat I get the same. Sometimes when I'm in a rush to get home I think about the letter "T" :/ Seriously, my lft index finger twitches... In: Lobby
Thread: Most requested unit in coh2 history...18 Sep 2014, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 17:00 PMKatitof You do realize USF army are based on battle of bulge? You do realize pershing arrived to Europe months after that, therefore its unrealistic to ask for it? You realise that we have Americans fighting in Stalingrad and Kursk? Therefore everything is possible in the CoH2 universe! You keep saying "it'll never happen" about things and yet they happen. Open your mind, Katitof. Open your mind... I think Relic will change their minds and add it. Why not, heavy tanks are fun. And I disagree about the other doctrines disappearing. It was in CoH1 and it was one of the most rarely seen units in the game. Everyone loved it but there was a lot of attractive stuff in the other docs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Jaeger Light Infantry v. Pathfinders18 Sep 2014, 14:07 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 22:20 PMcomm_ash OK, so I want to take a look at the comparison between the newly changed Jaeger Light Infantry and the good old pathfinders, and compare their usefulness on the battlefield. Pathfinders: -290mp cost. -2 scoped rifles that crit soldiers below 40% HP -2 M1A1 carbines -Cloak in cover -Lay Beacons -High Sightrange JLI: -300mp cost. -3 Kar98k rifles -1 scoped G43 rifle with crit on units below 70% HP -Cloak in cover with Vet -Booby Trap Point -Spawn in ambient buildings -Sprint -Infiltration Nades -Scavenge -Cost a bit more per entity -High Sightrange Looking at these units as a whole, I really don't see ho these two units are balanced at all in terms of their cost/ effectiveness. They are similar in most aspects, but the Jaegers are more powerful in every single way, at a slightly higher cost. (Although realistically the callin cost difference is more than made up for by their ability to spawn from ambient buildings.) I would like to know what all of you think about these two units, whether they over/ underperform, or are over/ underpriced. It's a well-written post but I don't think you should compare individual units. Compare the whole doctrine. And you'd probably need to factor in each faction's base infantry too. Rifles > Volks. If both elite inf call-ins in AB were superior or or equal to JLI, that would combine with USF's core infantry superiority and there would be a serious problem. In: COH2 Balance
