Thread: Voiceline manipulation15 Jan 2020, 17:28 PM I mean, Russian, English and German is localized. So if you'd find the actual audio files of the voicelines you should be able to rename them and swap them In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Inconsistent voice warnings15 Jan 2020, 08:05 AM OMG I have the same issue for a year now. I even posted in the bug section but nothing. I will lose squads or units without any audio alerts. I think everybody had this. Squad lost or grenade thrown at them? Sometimes no voice line. I'm not too sure if this is a real bug or just the result of overlaying voice lines. Because some voice lines need to be prioritized over others, and it also might be that the priority settings have been done sloppily. So less important voicelinrs could be prioritized over more important ones. Still, there might be a bug component to it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is the Brummbar perfectly fine?13 Jan 2020, 22:56 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2020, 20:08 PMIncendiaryRounds I said "perfectly fine." So if u later voted that it needs buffs, you should say that it was overnerfed, NOT "perfectly fine" even if you'd like to see just a very small buff. I just RNGed what I will lock in as an answer because that's unfortunately about the quality of this poll. It's a shame that another thread that could have had potential for a decent discussion gets hampered by a bad poll. Well, to the topic: I also think that the Brummbär is hard to balance. It's absolutely alright in team games, but suffers from casemate nature like all other casemates in 1v1. Buffing it's stats could make it too strong in team games, so the only possible way is probably lowering the skill difference performance. I'm not too sure how this can be achieved though. What Sander suggested sounds reasonable. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Upcoming updates?13 Jan 2020, 08:45 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2020, 02:41 AMIncendiaryRounds You have no idea when it'll be released because the mod team wants to ride this patch for as long as they want when SU and USF are insanely OP. If you also have a theory about how I or the mod team is directly involved in game balance feel free to share. Until then get back to your troll cave or just git gud. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why are OST and OKW always rolling out their tanks first?13 Jan 2020, 08:36 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2020, 04:42 AMC3 TOOTH Compare to USF. For tank rushing. Okw has: Volk stg +flame +ATnade, Sturm shreck, ATgun, MG, Kubel, Supportgun (not count InfraredHT & FlakHT because fuel consume) USF has: RM, Rear, Cap, ATgun, supportgun There is no way USF can fight or even hold the ground without using Light. Okw can skip it. I'm not too sure what you're on about. According to your post actually USF would be worse off if they'd build a LV due to the availability of AT options from OKW. Also I am not sure why you argue that USF needs a LV because OKW can have more units after 40 FU. LV don't come out until the 100 FU mark, so you had to survive to that point anyway, even temporarily with lower unit variety. But at 100 FU USF already has their officer upgrade as well. On the other hand, if USF does not build a LV, there is no use for Schrecks or an ATG, which basically leaves the OKW advantage at potential StGs, Sturmpioneers that get significantly worse the more units are on the field and the Kübelwagen. I've also already shown that the total FU cost is not lower for OKW. So the only point that I can make out from your post is that USF is somehow forced into weapon racks, which indeed makes things easier and might be needed if you don't get a LV. But that is another topic and at the moment USF is doing actually a little too well it seems In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why are OST and OKW always rolling out their tanks first?12 Jan 2020, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2020, 15:15 PMC3 TOOTH The thing is, with 30fuel combined, Soviet has Penal, Sniper and full weaponteam set. With clown car can be a good tool to carry Engineer around to lay mines. For USF, double Lieu Cap tech 70fuel is just impossible to play since they lack of various unit (as Rear, RM and full set of weaponteam. Lieu Cap dont have unique battle abilities so cant count them as different units). USF HAS TO use Light in mid game. I'm not sure which mode and ladder position you talk about, but Clown cars are usually used to chase retreating squads and flank MGs with Penals or flame pioneers in them. Also you should not neglect that SOV would pay 320 MP if they go for T1 and T2 and get nothing out of it. Cap/Lieu play is possible as USF although not meta (at least not to my knowledge). Also they pay 400 MP, but at least get two squads out of it AND tech up. You would need to invest 50 MP/20 FU later on anyway, so your actual price increase is 150 MP and 15 FU for a new infantry squad. Obviously all of this neglects unit accessability. Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2020, 15:15 PMC3 TOOTH I do wish Medium tech cost increased to extend Light play time, so it may force players to use Light, like USF players. While I personally would support making CoH2 a bit slower than it currently is, extending the LV phase will mostly hurt OST and to a lesser extend UKF since they don't not really have that useful LVs while buffung OKW and SOV with exceptional LVs. Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2020, 15:15 PMC3 TOOTH Okw, with 40fuel to unlock BattleGroup tech. You know what they have. Sturm + Shreck, Volk + Stg + flamenade + ATnade, ATgun, MG34 Kubel, Supportgun, FlakHT, InfraredHT. Okw can skip Light to rush Medium. Who are you comparing to? Also you should consider that battlegroup locks them basically out of LVs which will hurt you a lot if your opponent goes for M20 or T70. But yes, OKWs design is to be stronger in the early game than most factions. But every faction can skip LVs to rush a medium. As I posted, OKW is not faster than any other faction. Actually they need to get more fuel and have to compensate with a good early game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why are OST and OKW always rolling out their tanks first?12 Jan 2020, 10:40 AM Fuel tech cost here: Side notes: - UKF T3 = hammer/anvil - side tech = weapon/grenade unlocks, OKW T2 repair pioneers - "full tech" = all tech structures up (usually not the case for SOV, OKW and USF) + side techs (usually no the case for any faction) - "medium rush" has always chosen the cheapest way to a medium (cheapest tech structure, e.g. OKW T1, and no side tech or medics) - OKW and OST values: include both the battle phase + building / truck + building cost There were also previous discussions here: https://www.coh2.org/topic/96750/redirect-thread-faction-teching-and-timing and here: https://www.coh2.org/topic/96422/panzerfusiliers-need-adjustments/page/9 And one last note: The best number we want to discuss about is probably the "FU gain for medium tech" and then add some side tech cost for UKF, maybe USF and also maybe 20 FU for OKW because T1 is not meta. Now, comparisons: All factions pay rougly the same amount for getting tech for mediums up. UKF pays the least but usually has to side tech to bolster and/or weapon racks to make it through. OKW pays the most. Another side of the medal is MP cost though, and my calcs on that one show that OKW has a huge advantage here until the early-mid game. This results from unlocks like StGs, snares and nades for which they basically pay no MP and that point in the game. This allows them to invest more into infantry and map control and get some of the fuel disadvantage back, depending on player skill. We can conclude that all factions get their medium tech probably within 30 sec to one min in an even game. After that players need to wait for the FU for their medium tank. If we assume that mediums are at the moment well balances against one another, then there is no problem. OKW has to wait the longest, but gets the best tank (at least for tank on tank warfare), SOV the shortest but get the worst. All factions pay roughly the same for full tech, while the non vanilla factions pay the most. However, these factions rarely get full tech (all structures plus all side techs) because it rarely makes sense. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Upcoming updates?11 Jan 2020, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2020, 13:01 PMSunTzu I wonder if they will add the cougar. The cost of panzergrenadier reduced to 300. Improve the bumbar. But will they do anything for January? No units will be added, that's for sure. PGrens are unlikely. Brummbär might be, but was not a huge discussion point lately. And as I said, no idea when it will release. In: COH2 Gameplay
