Thread: The best way course of action that relic may doing11 Feb 2018, 17:14 PM fix all sh!t I can't believe no one has thought of this before. In: Lobby
Thread: New CoH2 Commander Edit!11 Feb 2018, 17:04 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2018, 14:42 PMTiger Baron That's actually a good idea, however it would be a problem for like, the US and Germans. The US really had no "sub-factions" nor did German, unless you count the German allies as sub-factions of course. Well, the Allies could be framed more like SHAEF. Axis powers could easily be reflected by the German branches of military or allied nations. In: Lobby
Thread: Some questions about weapon crews and recrews9 Feb 2018, 19:43 PM Veterancy is based on squad, not entities. It is unclear, and I don't recall atm, if the entities in a vet 3 squad recrewing a team weapon retain those bonuses. I think they do. Vetgate was confusing, and it took months to even figure out (or convince anyone that the evidence was in fact, evidence) so the mechanisms with vet and individual entities is still hard to pin down. As far as recrewed team weapons having advantages over the initial crew, that is intended. Initial crews are super cheap to reinforce comparatively. Pioneers, for instance, retain their superior sight range, which makes them ideal candidates for recrewing mgs and paks. This is because sight is set by the entity. Also popcap. I think it was the B4 artillery piece that had all its pop cap loaded onto the crew, rather than the gun, so molotoving the crew and using cons saved you like 12 pop cap. So it's always been intended. Losing the initial crew is a loss of manpower and vet, but is the most manageable loss. The real value is the weapon itself. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Entity veterancy vs. Squad veterancy8 Feb 2018, 21:38 PM If it is a squad based upgrade, make sure that it uses change_target apply to the entity? The requirement may be defaulting to target the squad? I am making a guess here, not proven advice or answers. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: AT infantry for OKW?8 Feb 2018, 21:24 PM You recall that Obers were rather nerfed? They aren't the same unit they used to be. If schrecks on obers is unfeasible because of their cost, neither are pgren schrecks. Obers are closer to stormtroopers anymore. And it's not like they or pgrens come close to sufficient for AT.

Thread: Why no one complains about Bunker spam?8 Feb 2018, 21:17 PM Well yes, there is a huge design flaw in 3v3s and 4v4s where a single player can get double and triple teamed. And if there's no difference between a coordinated us/soviet team why is a coordinated axis team so much more "click to win"? Because it really sounds like you're doing your own thing in 3v3 and 4v4s and wondering why you can't solo a team. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why no one complains about Bunker spam?8 Feb 2018, 21:01 PM Ah, so now you provide a bit more crucial information. So what you're really asking is "how does a USF player handle two players where one spams bunkers and the other covers the position with mortars?" Get your teammates to help. You could also use something like a jeep to drive past those bunkers. Soviet clown cars and satchels also help, but since this appears to be a question for USF in a 2v1 situation, I'd say get out of the balance forums and use the state office. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic leaves Dawn of War 3 behind8 Feb 2018, 16:36 PM Likely for the best. In: Lobby
Thread: Why no one complains about Bunker spam?8 Feb 2018, 16:31 PM AT guns effectively cannot miss bunkers and kill them in 3 shots. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rebalancing Sniper Counter for Ostheer8 Feb 2018, 00:43 AM It'd probably easier to just clone the Ostheer sniper, and adjust the Soviet reload and cooldown speed to 133%. You get the exact same ability to cloak and countersnipe, and end up with a RoF that's adjusted for axis squad sizes. To give you an idea of how rough just removing the 2nd member would be for Soviets: Currently, at max range, the Soviet Sniper team has a TWELVE SECOND cooldown timer. I'm not sure people are typically aware of this. Ostheer sniper has a 3 second cooldown at all ranges. A 1 man soviet sniper would need a better vet 1 than the flares. I wonder if the flare revealed cloaked units if it would be balanced.... That'd be interesting to see/test. In: COH2 Balance
