Thread: [DBP] Mechanized Doctrine feedback thread15 Dec 2017, 15:24 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2017, 15:06 PMMr.Smith Keeping Assault Engineers in the call-in is also a nice excuse to fix that waste of a unit for other doctrines too. Geez, you have got such a vendetta against assault engineers... they're excellent units whose biggest fault is being doctrinal and not replacing REs. They can be timed so that an assault engineer and riflemen are hitting the front by the time sturm pios and a kubel are on the front. Since the theme of all this is teamgames, assault engies routinely give me, to speak for myself, the edge on maps where you have to rush key garrisons. Which is, like, every teamgame map that isn't steppes. I don't feel like you've properly defined why you feel so strongly that they're such a waste of a unit. They do have less use with nerfed demos and RE mines, but still. Flame. Throwers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Vet balance and caches15 Dec 2017, 00:12 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2017, 23:35 PMStug life orr they did like fbp and reduced all caches resources the higher the player are ( it was like +2 in 4 vs 4 , +3 3vs3 ,+4 2vs2 and normal in 1vs 1) Although one of the major reasons large teams games are considerably borked in CoH2 has to do with the available assets for map making. CoH2 Montargis Region https://www.coh2.org/file/14235/mr2.jpg CoH1 Montargis Region http://cohonlinegame.ru/images/content/maps/montargis_region.jpg Look at the number of territory points. Look at how resources are distributed. The CoH2 is in annihilation mode too, so the VPs are resource points on that one, and it doesn't show cutoff sectors. But the point is the lack of territory/resource point options completely restricts layouts in a way that really don't extend beyond a 2v2. And even that's stretching it. Even 1v1 maps are extremely limited in their potential designs. All of this has completely prior to any faction or game match. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: BALANCE: OKW Sturmpioneer / Salvage / King Tiger14 Dec 2017, 22:44 PM The bit about sturmpios being able to put away their minesweepers is accurate in that it allows them to maintain their combat effectiveness. They certainly can put them away. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Why not all Commanders in-game for more strategic diversity?14 Dec 2017, 22:08 PM I have always felt that since commanders are linear that allocating CPS by spending them separately into all three loadout commanders would/could actually work out really well. Player CP expenditure would have a strategic component of sinking CPS into one commander to unlock a heavy vehicle or artillery, or spread CPS out to acquire a variety of early game abilities or callins. But I dunno about all commanders. And like it was stated, there would have to be a number of UI changes and some overhauling of how doctrines work that are just beyond what Relic is capable of doing at this point. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Recent Lagg Problems14 Dec 2017, 20:06 PM I've had it intermittently since 2013. Though it may be useful to provide some more info: Are you playing automatch or custom matches? Are you playing any mods or using workshop skins/decals, etc? What size of game mode? 1v1? 4v4? For me, large game modes in automatch are the biggest culprit, especially if people are using a bunch of workshop skins and such. But I've never been able to verify this. I do find that whenever relic is doing server stuff, be it change maps in the pool, applying patches and hot fixes, etc, the input lag appears to skyrocket. But again I haven't been able to confirm that this is actually what is happening. In: Lobby
Thread: [DBP] Mechanized Doctrine feedback thread14 Dec 2017, 18:11 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2017, 17:52 PMAceOfTitanium They are kinda useless in the sense of raw combat. I would argue that is a very big "kinda". Flamethrowers are an invaluable tool in raw combat. But yeah Ill agree that assault engineers without flamethrowers fighting on the frontlines certainly maximizes their potential uselessness. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [DBP] Mechanized Doctrine feedback thread14 Dec 2017, 17:49 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2017, 16:47 PMMr.Smith useless (live-version Assault Engineers). I have never found flamethrowers, demos, or minelaying to be useless. At all. They're only useless when you don't have access to them. Or I guess if you have to spent fuel to get them after x cps.

Thread: Soviet conscript flair killing models14 Dec 2017, 15:34 PM It's a flare that requires an enemy model to walk over it, which can restrict it's utility. If it could be changed to function like the OKW Overwatch flares that might be worthwhile. Cons could for 0 to 10 munis put a warning flare on a territory point or something. In: COH2 Balance

If that were the case there wouldn't be special rules with slot items having differential stats depending on carrier. Or sniper cloaking timers might be more intuitive. (I miss the old method of exposing your sniper before taking a shot to keep the cloaking timer down.) In: Lobby
