Thread: Stuka Dive Bomb AoE... Has it been buffed indirectly?17 Oct 2015, 17:17 PM I think this is relevant: If the AoE is too large for a major or ambulance to pack up and escape from in the time the sound begins, then it may need a bit of tweaking. It should have a large AoE, but like the V1, needs an ample enough time for a player to feasibly dodge. That said, having artillery wipe even an entire army after retreat at base (especially a forward retreat position) is a coup-de-grace move that is very much apart of the game's healthy strategy. If it happens to you, start taking measures to prevent mass retreat situations in the future. Retreat points too close to the front line are notorious for bunching up units. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: PG being incapable of anti-inf with the double shrek upgrade17 Oct 2015, 16:55 PM I think their costs only seem expensive when compared to their other shrekked counterparts: volksgrenadiers. For 235 manpower and albeit only one shrek for 90 munitions, those volks retain a great deal of their AI. Then they start acquiring vet (up to two extra levels!!11) and scale wonderfully and durably. Panzergrenadiers are not the same kinds of unit, and I can see how people who are used to volksgrenadiers' AT package might get frustrated/confused. They are best used defensively, as they are flimsy, don't get sniper level accuracy with extra levels of vet, and drop their shreks on retreat like crazy. Even though it is only 120 munitions for two shreks, a four man squad having two shreks is a recipe for allied shrek usage. They are best kept in cover to protect your flank and/or your paks from armored rushes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: To Relic -- Ideas to fix DLC mess17 Oct 2015, 16:36 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2015, 14:04 PMvan Voort So all they really want is: Relic should devote 100% of their effort to balancing and developing the game mode I care about, and they should do so for free I am somewhat unsympathetic to this request Maybe not free, but somewhere between 'free' and 'only after you've paid for it' wouldn't be too far out of the realm of reason.

Thread: Matchmaking bullshit vs Jove6 Oct 2015, 17:41 PM You get matched up with Jove because Jove was probably waiting for a game for a long arse time. Same with any skilled player. There just aren't the players in the right time zones all the time for all the best players to compete with each other. I would wager many of the top ranked CoH2 players rarely play even each other due to geographic distribution/time zones. In: Lobby
Thread: Sherman bug NOT fixed6 Oct 2015, 17:19 PM Testing in custom match, reload bulletin stacks. This only seems to apply to Shermans. Jackson bulletin for reload does nothing, and bulldozer sherman, and the easy 8 seem unaffected by the stacking as well, so it just appears to be stock shermans. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Sherman Bug Fixed6 Oct 2015, 07:24 AM I'm glad that this has been hotfixed, although this only resolves the stacking from Radio Net. Hopefully the others can be resolved, or the gun itself fixed soon now that a lot more people know about it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sheman Emergency Hotfix required!!!5 Oct 2015, 18:15 PM Well, I hope that it gets fixed before too many people are banned. Especially if all it takes is using a reload bulletin. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: What do you focus on first? 23 Sep 2015, 09:05 AM Because this is a game first, I usually design where I want the cover, garrisons, territory points, and cutoffs will be, along with sight/shot blocking objects. I usually use an odd colored tileset and draw where I want the flow of units and combat to be, as well as draw the borders of the bases and territory sectors. Once I create these blueprints of sorts, I build up the map, usually starting with the largest features first: the buildings, cliffs, roads, groves, etc, and get more and more detailed. I will often use placeholder objects to remind myself to keep a certain area of green cover, or a sight blocking tree, for example. (Then, if you're me, the map goes dormant for a few months.) I then proceed to work bit by bit and update the map, add details, and slowly refine the map as a whole. No map is perfect at first, and I usually playtest the map numerous times with AIs to see if there are any glitches, pathing issues, or flying/floating objects. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Quinn duffy's 5 year plan and War Spoil Extravaganza 10 Sep 2015, 16:03 PM I bought the Ostruppen Commander. The very first game I used the Ostruppen Commander I got the Ostruppen Commander. That is why War Spoils annoy me. In: Lobby
Thread: Bofors needs a nerf against infantry4 Sep 2015, 18:56 PM It's kind of like having get your opponent to give you permission to attack. In: COH2 Balance
