Thread: USF after Balancefinders and Scotts get nerfed18 Nov 2021, 03:33 AM is relic going to make one last patch? on topic, just nerf pathfinders sight. they are easily abused for 2v2 in rank 800-1000 games. scotts got too much changes, and i think it is in a ok spot. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced6 Nov 2021, 08:20 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Oct 2021, 18:40 PMLady Xenarra USF has other docs than Pathfinders?! Not sure how ppl can justify a recon squad being spammed out like this as a full replacer for regular rifles. You can't play around 50 sight range 'mainline' inf. (They even get +10% sight range at vet 1!). MGs become worthless and Pathblob walks over your men early-to-mid. And I'm seeing triple Path builds everywhere. Even JLI is hard to spam due to the 1 CP requirement. And then there's BAR Pathfinders. Why are they allowed to pickup weapons? Surely this goes against the idea that it's a recon squad and not a defeat-every-inf-except-Obers-and-maybe-upgraded-Falls-squad? I don't even like playing Ostheer but after seeing a streamer get rolled by them, I don't know what to say. Alright we go old school 2014 gameplay where I flatten 1/2 the map to get at you and your Scooots Scooots reduce base sight to 45 and we see how. down to 40 if we have to. and to be fair, we reduce JLI sight to 42, same as JCS since JLI cost more than PF imo 50 sight blobs at cp0 simply walks all over early infantry. 55 sight blobs at ez vet1, no contest. you try a fast light or med vehicle to counter, no luck with 55 sight ATG back line. sniper have been nerfed, no reason for pathfinders to maintain that los.

Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced6 Nov 2021, 08:10 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2021, 18:10 PMKyle Well I can speak for 2vs2 on your behalf consider my team is level 17 with 7 replays on tightrope channel so I myself got some exp in high level 2vs2. Usually my Axis team see this pattern: 1. Pathfinder x2 + Rifleman x1 OR Pathfinder x3 2. .50cal from Tier 2 OR airdrop for Pathfinder to pick up 3. Flak Halftrack 4. AT gun x1 or x2 + BAR upgrade for Pathfinder 5. M8 x2 or x3 6. M36 Jackson And this is pure cancer build: with Panthfinder ready at 0CP, my Ostheer MG42 is useless because they already spot it before I can spot pathfinder and later in the game as Ostheer I would just bleed out from the M8 spam. Tbh whenever my team play 2vs2 and I see (and feel) that the USF gonna play Pathfinder spam I'm just gonna switch side with my OKW mate so he can use JLI to counter this (They come out at 1CP, can detect camo unit + also got 50 sight + can snip the shit out of them). My mate usually mix JLI with Ober in order to kill this Pathfinder quickly. So yeah, either my mate switch side and deal with USF or I say fork it and play a name match. As Ostheer player and at my current level, I'm not capable of dealing with this atm IF my enemies are good at abuse Pathfdiner spam in 2vs2. i am a low level 2v2 wehrboo and i faced the exact same issue you stated. crazy accurate how you typed it out matches 100%. pathfinders on arranged team are cancer. even rando Usf experienced with this build order are as deadly impossible to play against even if you are similar ranked wehr and randoms.

Thread: What was old CoH2 infantry combat like?13 Oct 2021, 18:24 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2021, 04:06 AMGGnore All tanks did less damage/had more hp, its pretty silly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iDBnBXSRj4&list=PLFWa7lAuxXdje-vaDzr7eTrf54xgB9HcL&index=5 Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2021, 17:12 PMGGnore conversely heres a elefant taking 70% of a isu152's health in one hit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0bfOZqkErk&list=PLFWa7lAuxXdje-vaDzr7eTrf54xgB9HcL&index=1 Then theres a elefant bouncing off a su85's front armour at close range https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipjwhW4dadk&list=PLFWa7lAuxXdje-vaDzr7eTrf54xgB9HcL&index=2 This game has changed drastically so many times, read the early patch notes for panthers with king tiger health and 60 range @ 150 fuel, t70's that could crush infantry and isu152's with the same armour as t34's the old coh2 had its charm. i guess the OG relic dev team wanted more vehicle focus especially late games. tank battles dominated. infantry phase was short. of course those videos look terrible for competitve screenings. But i do hope to see more armor bounces and status damages on dying hits. makes sense when you are down to last 2 shot of health, your engine gets damage. maybe something like this can combine with abandoned more playable In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH3 Retreat Paths, Solved23 Sep 2021, 05:37 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2021, 01:59 AMSpanky Let's not make a core function more complicated. I feel a minor tweak to values should be considered when pathfinding for more consistency. Perhaps add a red line on the minimap if visual cue is needed. i am with this. at least for now, we can do soft retreat or finding a safer time to retreat. use the more powerful cpu today and improve the AI pathfinding, not just retreat, but everything else. units gotta be smarter to move about more realistic In: COH3 Central

Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.20 Sep 2021, 01:06 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2021, 19:05 PMPip That does not represent a particularly meaningful amount of players, and I doubt it is a "majority", merely a very loud minority. Lol. i have to disagree, rather those wanting removal are the loud minority. im not going to convince you as you are not to me. but let just say, abandoned as a mechanic to gain access to enemy vehicle is a great feature and unless relic creates new feature to replace it. removing it is just cutting down the potential of emergent gameplay and layers. most players want to play a mulit faceted games. it is what it is. Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2021, 20:13 PMKlement Pikhtura on paper it is a fun and "realistic" mechanic, but in practice it produces a lot of frustration and punishes aggressive play. i have to disagree but i am not going to convince you. let just say abandoned have to stay. but we have to study what are the impact that some of you claims dislike. a simple solution is by adding resources usage to repairing a captured tank. would that work? it gives players another decision making stop, to see whether salvaging a P4 20 mins in a match a worth or not. in fact, my theory is, those who dislike abandoned, how many games have you lost due to this always cited example of 'it punishes aggressive plays'? is it very common and impactful or just a theory because the dislike of random outcomes?

Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.19 Sep 2021, 17:26 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2021, 17:09 PMPip You overestimate the number of people who would be upset if random abandons were not in automatch. This would in no way be the "worst decision" relic could make. in relic official coh3 forums, the majority wants abandoned back. not random abandoned at current state. but abandoned vehicles with perhaps more conditions to re-use them, such as using fuel to repair and such. but abandoned vehicle mechanics are being campaign for a return, and in automatch. thats said, i am more in favour of abandoned being triggered by RNG instead of bunch of conditions. will prefer the aftermath of abandoned, the recrewing and repairing portion have more conditions/resources to fulfil before you can deploy it. im not comfortable with conditions to trigger abandons because it may lead players to play for abandons.

Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.19 Sep 2021, 16:47 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2021, 12:02 PMPip Random abandons/MGC should not be in automatch. Feel free to have them in custom games, but matchmaking (Which matches based on performance) has absolutely 0 reason to have this. worst decision relic can make and sure to piss many off. custom game = coldtech = zero balancing = impossible to find a random game.
