Thread: How to find people to play with?8 Nov 2015, 04:44 AM Just looking for someone like FoG was back in the day. Good players, bad players. Everyone played. Everyone helped others get better. There were guys who hit level 20 and guys who always be noobs. I am in the middle of that range. The only rule they had was you had to be over 16 which was a first step to keep out those who acted like children. In: New Members

No thanks. you guys clearly aren't for me. I want to have fun. In: New Members
Thread: How to find people to play with?6 Nov 2015, 20:41 PM TABs? The Agnry Bears is my guess? They seem to have a 300 hour minimum. I am not close. (though I have a lot in COH1). In: New Members
Thread: How to find people to play with?6 Nov 2015, 20:14 PM The lobbies are empty and the clans seem to have prerequisites. COH1 player here getting into COH2 casuallybut I am playing just random team games and unlike current status of COH1 you don't always see the same names regularly enough to know who is who.

Thread: [historical question] why did the USA not use smoke on DDAY?4 Nov 2015, 21:10 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2015, 17:55 PMBananenheld thanks i know (i play alot of different ww2 games so i know quite a few things i just mentioned that i had the idea while watching it, didnt relate anything. thanks for the all answers, wind seems the thing i didnt consider .. Many things happened that day both good and bad. From after-action interviews we know that in the case of both the naval bombardment and the aerial bombardment the gunners and bombardiers "erred' to the side of caution in the fear of hitting friendly troops. This meant that much of the bombardment was off target and as much as several hundred yards/meters inland from the targeted fortifications. (and hence much less effective). But other things that weren't planned went well. On Omaha, when it became clear that there was a huge problem on the beaches there was some improvisation. Some naval vessels came dangerously close to shore so their gunners could sight and correct their own gunfire. In one case one of the few Shermans that reached shore figured out that they could use smoke rounds to mark for the naval gunners German firing positions that were not visible to the naval gunners. (One 75mm smoke shell brings in a dozen 5" shells fired from "close" range!) This would not have been possible if the area was blanketed with smoke. There was no storm but there was definitely "weather" as the sea was to the high end of what they considered manageable. Remember, almost all the DD Shermans drowned in the chop. In: The Library
Thread: Porting CoH1 Panzer Elite as final Axis faction4 Nov 2015, 14:12 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2015, 11:28 AMkitekaze Several days ago, my friend give me an idea: porting Panzer Elite as final Axis faction. The idea is kind of great because: 1/As Relic side, workload is reduced greatly, since you don't have to make new model from beginning. 2/No need to think new faction design plan. PE tech tree was already great in CoH1. 3/Panzer Elite game style is completely different than the rest of current factions. Their armor car, half track with hit-and-run tactic is not to be seen yet. 4/Many of community requests such as Hummel, Jagdpanther or Flak88 are fulfilled. As for new faction, I would suggest: - Replace Ostheer Panzer Grenadier with Brandenburger, with same stats. - Replace Ostheer 222 with Puma 20mm and Motorcycle, stats readjust. - Small discount for any player who own OF or ToV. The only downside is because it adds another axis faction. But the game was mainly in Europe, so I think PE would fit best. They did this already. It is called USF. In: Lobby
Thread: DevM's USF without Tears3 Nov 2015, 21:55 PM Was there an error in unit description? Is is DevM referring to the Priest (the doctrinal call-in artillery) or the Scott? I believe it is the Scott but that isn't clear. In: Guides
Thread: Yay. Axis team game is hopeless now.3 Nov 2015, 02:27 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Nov 2015, 00:09 AMButcher Totally agreed! I actually thought about making a thread about that too. From a 2vs2 perspective Germans are not playable any longer. The player search rate has gone up to a solid 75% Allies. Pretty good indicator for what is going on right now.. This is completely impossible. We were all quite assured that several patches ago the reason the search rate was 90-10 was not because there was an imbalance and people wanted to win but simply because axis are cool! If you are right.... people want to win and played axis because they were OP. But.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New to COH2 from COH1 - why does input feel like garden?31 Oct 2015, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2015, 15:51 PMAstarot The problem is not with you but with the game. Relic don't really want to optimize the game more that what is right now. You are not the only one to have this issues . Battle servers are on the East Coast so you should be fine on that. Maybe it's me but I am finding it hard to accept that that is the answer. It feels seriously laggy compared to the instant responses of COH1. Are there any tricks to getting around it? Are hotkeys better than mouse clicks? Are there mouse settings that will in some way increase the chance a mouse click gets registered? How does a game in 2015 get away with charging "full price" (into 3 figures for all content) when it can't log a mouse click properly? We know it isn't the battleservers since they didn't exist in the beginning. I am trying to figure out if I am not enjoying it because of the game or because of this input. I am trying to accomodate to the changes: Blob "counters" don't seem to be actual hard counters, more like soft ones you have to spam to stop a blob.... the commander system provides fewer choices compared to the tree of COH1, etc. You all heard it before, but I am giving it another chance. But the mis-clicks.... just ugh. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New to COH2 from COH1 - why does input feel like garden?31 Oct 2015, 15:40 PM This existed when I played the game when it came out... I seem to constantly have to re-click on a button, or make a deliberate click, to get an "effect". I want to quicly throw a grenade, click a tier and build a unit, something... and I realize I have not clicked the unit, it doesn't retreat, or throw a nade, etc if I did it with the speed with which I used in COH1. In this game I have to mouse over something and then ....c l i c k..... carefully... m a y b e t w i c e... and then throw the nade. Is there some setting that is wrong? Is there some sort of lag? (For the record, I am in New York, not sure if that affects battle servers though it shouldn't.) In: COH2 Gameplay
