Thread: The Reason Why OKW and USF Tend to Spam/Blob Infantry18 Jun 2017, 14:35 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2017, 11:40 AMtightrope Using 3 stages of tech instead of 4 was a bad idea Getting rid of the 'fifth' tech, the supply yard/kampfkraft center, wasn't so hot either. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 18 Jun 2017, 14:30 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2017, 13:50 PMbert69 Game is getting increasingly more complicated with all these new mechanics, don't forget that it still has to be friendly for new players because the learning curve is already pretty steep. Sometimes less is more. But more is always more, which is even more simple to understand. :\| Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2017, 14:14 PMMoreLess3rd mind if i ask, when will this patch apply? It's not a patch, this is a mod that the people who made the community patches are making. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: When will the beloved Brits enter the balance scope?17 Jun 2017, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2017, 06:39 AMMarioSilver Since OKW managed to sneakily enter the scope and get punished by unwarranted nerfs and changes, how about we give the Brits the same treatment? Especially because people complain more about UKF and they are the most abusive faction at the moment? These are the core problems: Broken Offmaps, ridiculous nades, silly suvivability valuse and bonuses, double LMGs, double piats, ultra fast teching, powerful-multirole-non doctrinal vehicles, and, you guessed it, emplacements. There is no scope. Mr. Smith and miragefla are making a personal mod. They're getting a whole lot of attention since they made the balance patches, but this is just a mod of their own making, independent of anything Relic will do. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Reason Why OKW and USF Tend to Spam/Blob Infantry17 Jun 2017, 14:26 PM At this point this is how I feel about balancing CoH2: https://xkcd.com/927/ In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 17 Jun 2017, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2017, 13:19 PMMarioSilver And what is even more deplorable is the way the modding duo ignore every feedback, criticism and opinions expressed by Axis players. But why should they? This is their own private mod. This is not an official mod, nor is it a mod that is going to be implemented into the game. They are the same people who enjoyed the opportunity to make the last community patches. But this is not one of those patches. The team can make flying Elefants that fire infantry models for all I care. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Need more map vetoes16 Jun 2017, 14:01 PM It is almost as if there aren't enough tools to create balanced or interesting maps... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: do brits receive double LMG nerfs?14 Jun 2017, 17:58 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jun 2017, 15:18 PMElSlayer What is "elite" infantry? Is there some kind of property that labels some units as "elite", or is it just imagination of some forum members? Does "elite" just equals to "stronger than average unit using graphical model of some real life special unit"? Are partisans elite then? What does mean "strong as elite" in partisans context? 100 percent imagination. However the latest community patches are manufacturing this concept. Currently there are multiple versions of the ptrs rifle that changes depending on what squad picks one up. But otherwise there is absolutely nothing meaningful with terms elite, frontline, or mainline infantry outside the purpose of forum discussions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: faction mixing13 Jun 2017, 19:33 PM There was one instance in ww2 where German forces fought German forces. Battle of Castle Itter. Fascinating story. I think it'd be possible to have soviets v usf/ukf without too much hand waving. But frankly, until theres balance between axis and allied team makeups, mixed/mirror matches just seem superfluous.

Thread: OKW back to stone age?13 Jun 2017, 18:48 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2017, 04:11 AMDanielD This is real. I say this knowing that I'm not that good, nor as good as I used to be, but when I watch the top level players, they really don't play optimally. So even at the highest levels it's hard to glean what the balance is truly like since half the top players aren't using hotkeys to micro vehicles(!!). I know the stock response on these forums is "well most people are casuals so lets balance for the casuals" . However, I think it's okay that there's some niche games that still have a high skill ceiling, and are balanced around that skill ceiling. If the game is made too easy then there's nothing to strive for. To tie this back to the main topic: I really feel like the struggles against OKW are a combination of OKW being easy to make mistakes on compared to the other factions, and an L2P issue. Ding ding ding. CoH2 and the franchise as a whole has an absolutely huge skill ceiling. The sheer level of nuances that players can utilize is immense. The problem is that most of these nuances are not intuitive at all, such as how front and rear armor actually works, (also is there still the loadscreen tool tip that says there's side armor in the game?) The various versions of the same weapon like stgs and ptrs, or the cloaking rules that govern snipers are likewise things that are hard to figure out without analyzing game files and so on. The plethora of unique game mechanics, from infantry squads to suppression and cover, are unfortunately constantly overshadowed or rendered insignificant in the face of broken units, factions, and an extremely dumbed down playing field. (By which I mean maps and their lack of variable resources and cutoffs). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 13 Jun 2017, 01:01 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2017, 00:25 AMmiragefla V1.6 Penal Battalion We have reverted some of the moving cooldown Penals have received, but we have adjusted the Homing Satchel to incentive the PTRS and its use on Penals chosen to become a light AT squad. -Moving weapon cooldown partially reverted from 1 to 0.75 -Homing satchel now requires PTRS upgrade -Homing satchel will always launch towards target, even if target runs out of range -(Manually aimed satchel can still stick to vehicles if it collides with the vehicle) Will this version's AoE be adjusted? It's AoE could be reduced or even removed to make it literally become Sticky Bombs. Homing Satchels that explode mid-home does seem like it'd be hilarious. In: COH2 Gameplay
