Thread: wehr sniper vs ukf28 May 2021, 00:29 AM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2021, 21:33 PMdrinu019 Thanks for the tips. Youre right regarding okw having to deal with the same shit but at least they can get a light tank relatively early and also have the stuka. Brits have nothing I mean, yeah, OKW have the option of getting a Luchs to help deal with the Sniper, but UKF do have the AEC (Which is admittedly not the BEST AI unit, but isnt useless) and the upgraded UC. I'm not sure if the Stuka can really be considered an efficient counter to the sniper, incidentally. AS others have mentioned: You really do have the single best counter to a sniper in the game, which is a sniper of your own. OKW and USF don't have that option. Finally: It's possibly worth considering that UKF are absolutely no fun to play against at all, it's no wonder OST will do what's most effective against them. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: wehr sniper vs ukf27 May 2021, 21:04 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2021, 20:35 PMdrinu019 How do you deal with this boring ass meta? Every single game I play against wehr, they always get sniper, always. Theres no effective way to deal with this besides a counter sniper, which is much slower to shoot,comes way too late, expensive as shit and hinders your section upgrades which without them makes your mainline infantry a pile of shit. carrier doesnt work, deals no damage at all to the sniper on the move and you cant chase without losing it to a faust or small arms fire. This faction is shit honestly. You cant lose a single unit early or you're fucked. infantry sections are a big pile of shit and basically tickle the sniper if you're chasing him. If you pull off a flank he just needs to press t and he can easily escape. Whats left? You can't delay till you get a tank because oops, theres no cheap light tank you can get and you need a shit load of fuel to get a tank. What do you guys do to deal with this annoying shit honestly? And of course after you try to counter snipe the sniper youre fucked in another way... a few minutes after he will bring out a 222 and oops, you have no manpower because the sniper is bleeding you + all your units are too fucking expensive to get. 2v2 btw While some of this is true, the Brit sniper fires just as quickly as the OST sniper (assuming you're talking about the time between declaring you want it to attack, and it actually taking a shot), and costs the same amount of MP to build. If you're in a 2v2, the expectation is that either you play around the sniper until yours arrives, or you have a Soviet ally use theirs to countersnipe. You don't need to kill the sniper to have dealt with it, however. Even if you cant kill the sniper with your UC, its presence means the Sniper can't be in an aggressive position, and you can reasonably well zone the thing while your infantry do whatever it is they need to be doing. Having built the sniper early means that he's going to have one fewer infantry squad than you. It's the same for OKW when they're playing against SOV or Brits, really. Brits are an abysmally designed faction and do absolutely need major changes. My honest suggestion is to just not play them at the moment. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to stabilize FPS in the game?27 May 2021, 00:10 AM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2021, 00:09 AMShadowLinkX37 Restart CoH2 after every game. The game has an exponential demand for RAM until your OS kills the program from excessive use. Closing the game frees the used RAM and then when it's restarted it demands less until it builds up again. I really struggle to understand how a memory leak issue has lasted so long in a retail product like this. In: Lobby
Thread: Pershing vs Tiger. Shouldn't Pershing be buffed?26 May 2021, 14:39 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2021, 13:09 PMProtos Angelus Pershing is too good to not be capped at one and where would you fit 2 pershings into a standard army composition? I'd argue that the Pershing should indeed have its' cap removed, as well as some further fiddling with stats. It could well be given a vehicle crew if this were done. I don't think the faction works well with a "traditional" heavy tank, especially as one of the faction's main vehicular gimmicks (Vehicle crews) simply can't be combined with the traditional heavy tank population limit. Making it more of a "premium premium medium" feels as though it would better fit the faction's design. The main issue here is that USF already have a million Sherman variants that already struggle to find a niche/identity, so I'm not sure what statistics a "premium premium" Pershing might actually have.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback26 May 2021, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2021, 14:07 PMdonofsandiego Realistically speaking I think it would take a bit of restructuring to work though. If you're saying that the techs affect both units, then besides mobilize reserves, which already do affect both, you must mean the molo/AT grenade package be expanded to penals as well. So are you saying then that satchels would be gated behind tech in this situation? I think that would be kinda rough. As it is it's not feasible to build T1, T2, and scout car and get a T70 within the timing required to be the most effective & hold for a T34 and that's just assuming that you're only building penals and not supplementing with conscripts (therefore not needing molo/AT grenade tech). Penals already make up for lack of AT gun in tier 1 by having satchels which instantly destroy bunkers(which are otherwise countered by AT guns when unsupported). At that point there would really be no point to go T1 even. You would only ever build it for the sniper lol. Ideally; yes. In such a rework penals would have some form of grenade (HE, or merely a molotov dependent on whether an HE grenade for SOV as standard causes balance issues) and a reworked satchel (Reduced damage, increased range). Unfortunately for it to "work" properly there would likely be too many changes for it to be close to viable to implement at this point, especially as SOV are approaching a point where they're fairly well balanced. And yes, unfortunately it would take some restructuring of techs/structures, Ideally this would coincide with a linearisation of soviet tech, in order to make it pretty much the same as OST tech. (the OST tech structure is the most balanced by virtue of being linear). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback26 May 2021, 13:40 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2021, 13:33 PMdonofsandiego I think that would be an interesting idea. I like to have a "conscript focus" loadout in which all the commanders include con repair, and 2 of the three have assault package. I don't think it would be that OP because A.) Penals would bleed more on the approach because they have no way to get close quickly (no oorah) B.) Much more expensive than cons. and C.) they have no snare/ antitank capabilities once upgraded with ppsh (PTRS patched out of PPSH penals long ago). Infact, considering all these things, I would just use conscripts to supplement penals if I went for a penal build anyways lol. I've oft stated the opinion that Penals and Cons should both be tier 0 units that are universally affected by the same upgrades/techs, but offer a variation each on the "mainline infantry" role. A faction having two equally viable "mainline" options as standard would be an interesting factional niche. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rosbone learns how to make an RTS26 May 2021, 13:37 PM Suggestion: Try out Godot. That's what I use for game development, it supports a variant of Python (GDscript) but also C++ and C# (Though I don't know why you'd use C# over C++ if you have the option), and also most other languages through bindings. It handles 3d, though admittedly the documentation is not as good as Unity. I havent had a /ton/ of experience with Unity, but it's possible you may find Godot to your liking, and it's perhaps a good idea to have a look at all available tools while you're still /fairly/ early in the project. Also: Can you perhaps go into more detail regarding your bit mask method for mappings? I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of your system there is. In: Other Games
