Thread: Ostheer pop cap limit5 Jun 2016, 00:38 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jun 2016, 23:17 PMJadame! Totally. And after that i am going to a-click into enemy base, minimize game and wait for ez win. Coz nothing can stop that. As I already wrote. Also, panthers pretty good ar killing infantry with their double hmgs, more than good when you have more than one of them. Seems like good mine placement and proper use of AT guns would easily stop that, as would zook'd rifles. The double HMGs are good, but I don't think they're THAT great at taking out vetted infantry. Also pls dont write stuff you don't know about pointlessly insulting people in the process. 2v2 have very little difference from 4v4 in terms of most efficient builds. Wasn't intending to insult - was seriously asking, since I really doubt panthers are that amazing. Also there's a lot of difference between 2v2 and 4v4; namely resource income. A build that works well in 4v4 probably won't work well in 2v2 since your fuel income will be much, much lower, but your MP income will be very similar. As such, 2v2 (usually) ends up being much more infantry focused than 4v4's vehicle blobs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer pop cap limit4 Jun 2016, 22:32 PM ost pop-cap is fine, unless you're talking about silly things like 3v3 or 4v4, in which case nothing is 'fine' (because that whole mode is bad). Jump back to quoted post4 Jun 2016, 20:45 PMJadame! Ironically, panther spam IS answer to any question simply due to fact that panther is easily most cost-efficient tank in the game. Only question is how to get into position where ostheer would have 4-5 vet 2-3 panthers with rest of pocap spent on sweeper pios running around. On side note, lol stug spam with command p4, ostheer pocpap is not cost-efficient, cool story. What. So in 2v2 you're going to spend 64-80 pop, 1960-2450mp and 700-875f on 4-5 tanks that can't really do much against infantry? 1. In 2v2, how do you get into a position where you only need 20-36 pop for Grens, MGs, mortars, etc. If you have even one pio squad (which you suggest) that leaves you with 15-31 pop to spend on others things... like 2 gren squads. Not sure how that combo isn't going to get rolled by zook squads, at nades, mines, properly supported AT guns, any of the off-map AT abilities... 2. How on earth do you get to a point where you can spend THAT many resources on dedicated AT without getting pushed off the map? Seriously, I really want to know: I don't see how this doesn't get countered by literally anything. From my experience (~190-300 ost) stug spam is pretty much THE solution against tanks - building 4 of THOSE will counter pretty much all armor, and for a lot lower cost in both resources and pop-cap, while having higher DPS vs. armor.

Thread: Ostheer feels really really weak (POLL)4 Jun 2016, 19:34 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jun 2016, 22:46 PMTheGentlemenTroll A lot of people consider Ostheer to be the most balanced faction in the game, This. Ost (IMO) is the most well desgiend faction in the game; it's not blob focused (yes, you CAN blob), it's designed around combined arms, the use of support weapons to cover your attack forces... it's just a really well made team - what I would call the "idea" design. Against Sov, this made a lot of sense, and it actually works well (it's fun to play against them). The problem is WFA and then UKF completely contradict this design. Vs. Sov, you expect to fight a lot of low-power but inexpensive units OR high-power expensive units in small numbers. USF added medium/high power inexpensive units to the game along with the pak-howie, which counters most of Ost's support weapon play. Then UKF came along and messed it up even more. If anything, the other factions need to be balanced around OST. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Valkyria Chronicles Skin Competition3 Jun 2016, 06:23 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jun 2016, 06:04 AMwouren I am now honestly interested in seeing what the game would be like if it was owned and managed completely by .org. Still love u relic, but cmon. Semi-open source CoH2? That would be pretty great. Gotta agree though, this whole 'anime' stuff is going a bit far. If you're into it, that's fine; but it really doesn't make any sense in a historically based WW2 game. If they need more skins, just do another one like the 'polycount' contest a while back; those skins were pretty great. In: Lobby
Thread: Make CoH2 F2P/Great again :D30 May 2016, 04:31 AM Make OST and Sov F2P, but limit access to vs. AI and custom games. Make unlocking auto (with OST and Sov) either $5, or free with purchase of USF/OKW/UKF. Now anyone can go and try CoH2 or play with their friends for free, and there's no hackers in auto. In: Lobby
Thread: Bofors opinion poll28 May 2016, 18:04 PM "It needs a nerf" Personally, I'd remove every emplacement from the game (other than MG emplacements) - so all OKW, UKF, OST, etc. emplacements. However that's never going to happen, I'd say it just needs a slight nerf. Barrage needs to have slightly less range than an AT gun and it needs a SLIGHT reduction in ROF. The range nerf is obvious (can't hard-counter your counters), the ROF nerf is due to gren squads being tiny, and often getting wiped regardless of what the player does (retreat, move, etc.).

Thread: COH2 Soundtrack versus COH126 May 2016, 19:56 PM Both are pretty good; different, but good in their own ways. It would be nice if they simply added it to COH2 as an optional (free) DLC or something along those lines. Except for soviets, all of the CoH1 teams are in CoH2 (Ost = Wehr, OKW = PE), so even the faction specific music would work. /edit Since we're talking about other game OSTs that would fit, I'd put my vote in for "Total Annihilation" (same composer). Other than the main theme, it would pretty much fit right in. In: Lobby
Thread: Units escaping certain death with only %1 health left25 May 2016, 23:29 PM So you want to basically add an imaginary 5% to the HP bar of vehicles? Seems kind of pointless. All it would do is that when vehicles hit 5% (or whatever), they are destroyed. By the game's code, they would really be at 0% (i.e. exactly how they are now), but you've just added a +5% to the UI... Doesn't make much sense. You're just shifting the problem from "he escaped with 0.01% HP!" to "he escaped with 5.01% HP!". Doesn't change anything other than appearance. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What makes Bofors unpleasant to fight?25 May 2016, 20:47 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2016, 20:12 PMSupremeStefan for me Okw flak bulding is unpleasant to fight pls remove this from game and pls relic make bofors like OKW flak emplacement ok ? Wermaht is in trouble in games 4vs4 ? UPS I can even imagine how I was patient to play as USF in games 4vs4 before brits release. Before brit realese this game was a cancer for USF vs wermaht in teamgames mods yeah right but smoke and flank right?. Now this lamentation about wermaht is UP its just music for my ears no offence guys Not really the same thing. OKW Flak HT come late in the game. You need at least 1 HQ down (100/15 for truck + 200/30), then you need to get the actual flak truck (another 100/15) and set it up (200/100). So, if you rushed and did nothing else, you'd need to spend 600/160 to get a flak truck down. The bofors costs 670/60 by comparison, but that also gets you a builder squad. Ignoring that unit, it's really 460/60. Then on top of that the Flak truck doesn't have brace, has less range, doesn't have barrage, and when it's lost it costs you another 300/115 to rebuild (vs 280/30) while ALSO meaning you have no T4. Then on top of THAT (because why not), it also can't gain vet, takes up more room (less places to put it), takes longer to build, is vulnerable while it's moving and then can't be cancelled while building (you lose your 100/15 unit). Oh, and on top of THAT, you're limited to one at a time. Oh! Also, you can't manually control where/what it shoots AND you can't attack ground. Really, it's not even in the same ball-park. Yes, having a flak cannon on a place-anywhere HQ building is dumb, but don't try to say it's better than a bofors - it's just not. And you say that Ost vs. USF was terrible... but I'm not seeing it. Both sides were pretty fun to play (although the blob meta was a bit worse back then). Also, 4v4 was a joke back then and still is now. If you're playing it for anything other than a silly blob-fest troll game.... (I usually go FS and build 2-3 LEFHs, because I can). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What makes Bofors unpleasant to fight?25 May 2016, 19:54 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2016, 19:35 PMAustralian Magic Ok. Don't forget to increase pak's cost to 70fuel. As for flak emplacement it should work like a bunker. Sure, as long as we drop MP to 400, we can increase fuel. But remember, it's doc vs. non-doc, so the Pak needs to be a bit better. As for the Flak, it can work exactly like the bofors: 360 degree rotation, no decrew, something like 1000hp, brace, a nice barrage ability.... Probably need to also dramatically increase the damage, so it wipes 1 model per shot, give it some armor pen as well (it's only fair)... Yea, this sounds great. Or alternatively, we could bring the Bofors/17lb in line with the Flak/Pak43 and have the game actually be fun to play. In: COH2 Balance
