One side starts spamming snipers, now you're 2v1 or 3v1. Good luck. You CS, only to get CS back instantly. There is also upkeep. Upkeep can be increased to allow for say, 2 snipers max, before it cripples you too much. By going upkeep, it does not eliminate the tactic entirely, but it comes at a heavy cost to your economy. If those tow snipers don't perform as intended, then you are behind by A LOT. I do not like negative zeal on snipers, because the original concept was designed around piospam with flamers, which are close ranged units. Snipers can be far away from each other and not much of their efficiency will decrease (albeit, it requires more skill to manage them properly) In: COH Central
Thread: Elite Mod COH - Download and Changelog6 Dec 2013, 09:11 AM No one denies that 100% countersnipe could be too much, but 50% dodge is undoubtly too much as well. I'm sure there's tons of ideas that can be implemented, from simple ones to crazy ones, but each one has to be tested before anything can come of it. In: COH Central
Thread: Invasion of maphackers has begun6 Dec 2013, 04:16 AM Even so, don't expect CoH2 or any RTS games to be anything other than P2P. As far as I've researched, Battle.net is also P2P (correct me if I'm wrong), except it requires you to go through their servers for authentication. The Batte.net servers, however, do NOT have authority when it comes to correcting and resending data though (someone with network knowledge can correct me here). In: Lobby

That is VERY true, but you can still use volksgrenadiers for that (and by the time you are fielding mortars you still have at least one squad remaining). Not ideal though, you are right. Is there any organized way of testing the mod with anyone? vCoH popularity is slightly rising because of the -beta, but it is hard enough finding games as it is, let alone test a mod. In: COH Central

And for those that choose to be lazy and blob, they will find their snipers far more vulnerable than if they had invested the proper amount of micro into positioning. That would strongly depend on the map, not on the unit's balance (in my opinion). It needs to be tested in practice to see if it'd work as mentioned. This is going to sound sort of stupid (coh2 kind) but isn't it possible to increase the mortar's squad size to 4 and just reduce the individual unit's hp so that it has the same squad total hp as a 3 man squad? It provides a sniper deterrent(3 shots like mg) while keeping small infantry fire damage the same. The only drawback is that the crew gains a little bit of extra defensive fire. In: COH Central
Thread: Elite Mod COH - Download and Changelog4 Dec 2013, 17:41 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2013, 16:09 PMZombiFrancis Making the timer to recloak after firing an AoE effect would solve the whack-a-mole sniper blobbing. Every sniper shot affecting the other nearby sniper's timer to recloak would leave very vulnerable snipers for bikes and jeeps (or anything). Then all I have to do is get 3 snipers, and don't blob them. I still have 3 snipers, ready to counternsipe. Sure, its a little inconvenient, but it doesn't degrade the sniper spam. In: COH Central
Thread: Elite Mod COH - Download and Changelog4 Dec 2013, 01:02 AM The link isn't working for me right now, but I see the point you are making, and the people involved are supposed to be experts on the matter. If I understand the system correctly, snipers don't get an accuracy modifier. They either roll a critical hit or they miss it right? It's why you can't tamper with accuracy depending on distance or anything like that? In: COH Central
Thread: Command & Conquer aka generals 2 3 Dec 2013, 20:10 PM Yeah. apparently the people contributing thought a $100 alpha test was better, since the people investing in it would be more likely to play and give meaningful feedback. It's gone down, but always based on that initial $100 price. I aint touching that game until it goes down to an acceptable price from a crowd funded game In: Other Games

But they have a right to express it anyway they want. If they want to say the German war machine got defeated by Soviet flying pig tactical bombings, then they can't. They can even label that as authentic. You also have a right to disagree with their product, there's no foul there. I can guarantee you this though: Whatever any of us were taught in school, is most likely VERY wrong. Whatever you watched in mainstream television, is probably inaccurate. This is not because they are necessary lying to you, but because they water history down so it can reach more people and give them the basic idea. It doesn't mean soviet soldiers didn't rape innocent civilians before mutilating them or nailing them to houses. It also doesn't mean soviet soldiers didn't protect their home, didn't fight for a cause they believed just and right, or didn't contribute to eventual peace from a horrible war. Everyone seems to be trying to prove who was more evil in the war, and justify their own evil. Two evils never make a right. In: Lobby
