Thread: Vet 3 Pak cloaking is gone29 Aug 2014, 03:05 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2014, 02:48 AMLSDuffy Yeah I don't know what's the deal with this is, maybe it got replaced by the stun shot (which doesn't fire 80% of the time) The stun shot always fires afaik, it just fires at the ground where the tank used to be when the ability was enabled. The stun shot seems have a nigh-invisible trail as well- even when I do manage to stun a tank I never see the round leave the pak, only the tank getting stunned. the pak stun works well with the ostheer puma / stug stun, since those track targets normally so you can stunlock the stopped tank. it's probably for the better that the pak doesn't have the tracking stun shot- the Pak is already really good, and one pak being able to stun and kill any medium tank 100% of the time would be crazy OP.

Thread: US Mobile Artillery idea (M20 Command Car)29 Aug 2014, 01:20 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Aug 2014, 01:15 AMWhat Doth Life?! You might be surprised at how well the M8 penetrates vehicle armor sometimes... It's undoubtedly very good at direct fire- probably too good, capable of oneshotting squads with alarming regularity while also dealing reliable damage every shot, something even the bulldozer or sherman sometimes fail to match- but in the actual role of 'artillery' it's pretty damn bad... i'd say far worse than the pack howitzer's autofire. It would be nice if Relic could adjust it towards what is probably it's intended role as a light artillery vehicle with direct fire capability (i.e. bombardment speed/damage/splash up, direct fire shot slowed down and given reduced splash) rather than leave the US faction without any good vehicle based artillery lategame, and giving it a spammable one-shot-one-squad turreted stug E with smoke to compensate.

Thread: Command Panther vs the World28 Aug 2014, 15:11 PM I didn't spam call-in infantry/MGs as the OKW, and he didn't spam call-in tanks as the Soviets... not something you see every day. Fun game, WP to him (he actually got an SU85! as shock rifle no less! I can't remember the last time I've seen one ingame). Tons of conscripts, even more volks, ended up with lots of coordinated fire spam and the command panther facing off against an IS2. In: Replays
Thread: Volksgrenadiere merge ability27 Aug 2014, 13:17 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 13:14 PMKatitof It would do absolutely horrible harm actually. Obersoldaten, fallshirmjeagers and JLI are the reasons why. I was thinking if adding Merge ability to VolksGrenadiere would do any harm? Only works when using among themselves. Read. It's actually an interesting idea, don't see how it would it would screw up balance immensely. Though merge seems like a Soviet specialty, not sure whether relic would transfer a unique part of one faction to another, for just one unit no less. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF are the worse faction in game+pay2win problems. 27 Aug 2014, 02:40 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 02:13 AMTheChosenJuan sorry mate, i think you misunderstood me and that was because I wrote something wrong.. My real point is that if you don't go premium generals you'll most likely lose. If you mean with the USF- While Rifle company is the superior of the commanders, Armor, Airborne and Infantry are still solid choices- you can view replays to see how to counter specific aspects of the OKW, or watch shoutcasts for the strategic insight, watch players streaming USF matches. Here are a couple examples: Armor Company vs Elite Armor, also includes kubel use and countering http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb0bRhi_M-M&list=UUyUcNdOxXcVt3o9eZKdza9w Armor Company vs Fortifications http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqRIfU-sEPs&index=12&list=UUyUcNdOxXcVt3o9eZKdza9w Armor Company vs Luftwaffe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wek0-mD-1as&index=21&list=UUyUcNdOxXcVt3o9eZKdza9w I can't find the airborne/infantry casts right now, but those do exist. Credits to the Propagandacast for these three. Ofc there are also other shoutcasters doing very good work- the Generals Gentlemen, Romeo, Computerheat, Rogers, ATR, TychoCelchuu, and any more I might have forgotten to mention, all very worth watching. And as for more commanders... that is inevitable. Whether those are free is a different matter, but for now the USF is in a pretty good spot. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: USF are the worse faction in game+pay2win problems. 27 Aug 2014, 01:46 AM Even disregarding the fact that you think the USF is grossly underpowered and that the kubel (!) is unbeatable, among many other completely wrong things.... are you actually asking for P2W for the new factions? and then there's still rifle company, which is premium and overshadows the other USF commanders on the roster to a large degree, much more so than the 3 OKW premium doctrines compared to the three stock standard commanders...

Thread: Maxims vs the OKW 26 Aug 2014, 07:46 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2014, 20:24 PMKatitof Keep going, soon you'll stop facing clueless scrubs and will see how effective it really is In case of players like Ivan its a little bit more then just the unit itself. Pick a stand and stick with it... and if you're going to half-concede a point, just admit the mistake and move on. Ivan doesn't face 'clueless scrubs' as you very politely put it, he uses maxim spam, and he quite often wins. You claimed (to effect) that maxim spam is ineffective against anything more than 'clueless scrubs'. Snipers, or whether he is in the top 10, or whether, you, me, or my grandmother are in the top 10, are irrelevant. I'm not claiming maxims are too effective, or ineffective, or just effective enough... just pointing out a complete lack of consistency on your part. Nothing against you personally, of course, just your arguments. In: COH2 Balance
