Thread: Dealing with Allied Tank Destroyers 7 Jul 2021, 08:04 AM As others already said: PaK40 is the best bet. If your opponent has artillery you need to take the bleed. Don't blob your PaKs though. Otherwise Panther. StuG can work but you need a better feeling when to push as you need to be ready to trade it anytime for an Allied TD. It is also good to take the first shot, so screening with infantry for an unscreened Jackson is very helpful. If you find one, you can push it with your StuG and trade some shots Jacksons can't bounce anything apart from light vehicles though, so this seems to be a wrong memory. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability6 Jul 2021, 14:13 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2021, 12:54 PMMMX arguably that's what it does already. if the landing spot happens to be a tank and able to move it will just move with it until it explodes. imho still a better solution that magically phasing through the vehicle onto the ground. anyway, i think this is a pretty insignificant issue anyway given how incredibly rare it is to hit a tank with a sticky mortar round. How long was the fuse again? For some quicker vehicles you can still evade, especially if you've already started driving out of the danger zone and the vehicle has built up some speed. but I agree, overall these issues are very marginal. Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2021, 13:03 PMVipper Actually it is not that hard to hit slow vehicles like Ele/JT even the Pak howitzer can do it using the HEAT rounds. Which is exactly why it does not really matter that much for large and slow vehicles. They could rarely dodge the shell anyway. Smaller and lighter vehicles are more effected by this since also the 80 damage has a larger impact, but then again I have to agree with MMX that the overall effect of fixing this will not be large. I'd personally still rather have it phase through the vehicle and hit the ground below, but if this causes a lot of work, just leave it be. This time is better invested elsewhere. Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2021, 13:03 PMVipper The round does not have to "phase" it simply need not to "collide" with vehicle and simply land on the ground. Which is exactly what phasing through the vehicle means... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2stats.com match and player statistics 2.06 Jul 2021, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2021, 21:22 PMpagep This feature required re-work of the URL path which now looks completely different. All the old links to the stats should be automatically redirect to the new format but make sure that from now on you share only the new links. Thanks especially for going the extra mile to not make old discussions look idiotic because non of the links work anymore! Great addition, being able to select data for a whole patch is really, really cool. In: Lobby
Thread: Drop hack epidemic6 Jul 2021, 08:17 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2021, 22:30 PMaerafield As Sturmpanther said it would only become suspicious if it happens versus the exact same person multiple times As zou said it is hard to "proof". Regarding that last point though I am having issues from time to time that my ISP derps out and does not send me any packages for multiple seconds. Often enough the game "reconnects" and catches up with the current state of the game, but if the disconnect is too long then I just get kicked out of the game entirely. At this point it might just be a shitty connection as well... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Whats up wit AoE/near suppression???5 Jul 2021, 09:29 AM Hard to tell. We don't really know how suppression works. It seems to be checked on a per-model basis but applied on the whole squad once a threshold is reached. Maybe the second squad was partially out of the AoE (which might happen if the MG gunner already targets a model right at the edge), so only one or two models filled up the suppression meter which was not enough to suppress quickly? The AoE is weaker than the main suppression. It's hard to tell without a screenshot, but I also would not be surprised if the AoE suppression were pretty buggy. Sometimes I had the same feeling you described as well. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability2 Jul 2021, 10:40 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 10:10 AMSkysTheLimit Pretty sure there's a long list of those we can address. Id rather lose a tank to that then any of the loiters, and this is a LOT more rare I agree. But at least with the loiters it makes sense logically that they track and attack vehicles. And while it is completely random how and if they target/deal damage, a mortar shell sticking to a vehicle is not logical. If it is an easy fix, it should be removed. If there is suspicion that the fix itself could cause other bugs, then leave it in. It will be a rare occasion as you say and even more rarely contribute to the killing blow. But when it does it would be quite shitty. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability2 Jul 2021, 08:42 AM I think this should be removed. It will just cause some weird RNG moments of the shell sticking to the tank and maybe generate a lot of frustration if that is what in the end kills it. If there is also no historic justification for sticky mortar shells, they should be removed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: player ban 1 Jul 2021, 11:23 AM First ban is usually 1-2 weeks. I don't think there is a way to appeal it. Also the bans are reviewed by hand. If he got banned, most likely there was a good reason for it. Flaming other players also can cause a ban, so if he really did not do any of the things you listed, it was probably due to flaming.

Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta30 Jun 2021, 20:22 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2021, 20:12 PMjagd wölfe Isn't it dependant on what squad crewed the at gun? Reinforcement cost yes, reinforcement time I don't know, I assumed this stat belongs to the ATG squad itself. But still, even if the normal ATGs get nerfed, it would also be helpful. No one is going to decrew them first themselves. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Something should be done about the dual atgun meta30 Jun 2021, 20:09 PM IF something has to be done, increasing soft factors such as reinforcement cost and reinforcement time are also possible. In: COH2 Gameplay
