Thread: Your opinion on "Germans" being renamed "Wehrmacht"?23 Jun 2014, 12:37 PM To me, as a german with a background of an odd fascination for worldwar 2 during puberty, both ostheer and wehrmach as a name for a faction sound perfectly fine. Wehrmacht is technically the term for any army as it translates to "force of defence" but in todays use of the german language it is only associated to the german army of the kaisereich and the third reich. OKW for oberkommando west on the other hand is an odd choice. OKW during the third reich stood for: "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" translated to "general command of the army" and it was the central command of all armed german forces. It seems rather silly that both the actual term is already in use, it does not make sense for a fighting faction in this game either. Thinking of a faction called Oberkommando West one would imagine a bunch of Generals and staff personell study maps in some bunker behind the frontline. In: Lobby

Thread: Multplayer numbers and will they keep us alive?29 Apr 2014, 12:54 PM 1) here is a site that gives you an impression about the number of players over the time of day. i guess it is based on gm-time http://steamcharts.com/app/231430#All 2) yes it includes everybody the original coh gave you the number of people playing automatch i guess it was always around 25% of the players while 25% played campain, 50% played cutom matches either against other people or agains the cpu 3) competing with real people can be very frustrating. from my own experience: first time i tried online gaming was in 1998. i had finished the single player of the 3d shooter duke nukem on medium difficulty. i ve gotten really good (so i thought) and tried a multiplayer match. i got killed 10 times in a row without even seeing my enemy! i did not try again for a long time second time i tried playing vs humans online was 2004 the game was EA battle of middle earth. i had finished the campain on medium difficulty and i thought i had godlike skills. my first match online was agains a player called girly1988 beating me within 5 minutes using only peasants - the weakest unit in the game. on top of that i was called a noob for the first time. well i cept on going since then but i totally get people who would not bother.

Thread: Relic's Performance Regarding Feedbacks21 Apr 2014, 12:27 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2014, 07:35 AMDanielD Do the people who voted no play competitive multiplayer games where balance issues are fixed faster than relic is doing with CoH2? I guess I believe you guys but I've never played one. Voted yes x3. good point. so i voted 3x yes as well In: Lobby
Thread: Number of Players10 Apr 2014, 06:52 AM on average there are 2500 players online. If the average player plays for 3 hours a week, that would make for a current player base of 140.000 people In: Lobby
Thread: Customization!18 Mar 2014, 13:40 PM some things i would like to see and that i would probably spend money on: how about some speech packages? more lines, different voices, or themes... the joke telling penal squads, the pioneers with the bavarian accent, the stug driver that uses the word motherfucker in each sentence. how about different and new victory screens? i always hated escecially the german one that lets you think that rohan and not the 3rd reich has just won or lost a battle. i guess i would not mind to replace my base buildings with something else. i feel a little ashamed, but i would welcome if you could choose to play a "blood and gore" version of the game. that would be more body parts flying around, more blood on the ground more screeming and crying wounded soldiers. if relic really wanted 10 bucks from me, i would suggest making the screen layout to be customizeable and to sell me the COH1 version In: Lobby
Thread: Penal Battalions THE THREAD!5 Mar 2014, 08:41 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2014, 17:23 PMThebazookajoe ... @ alcoholic, what if your opponent gets a flamer ht? most of the time thats not the end of the world. it gives the germans 2-3 minutes of dominance just like i dominated 2-3 minutes before with the penals in the m3. after thet a t70 or a t34 rolls out wich turns the tide again. then the p4 arrives and the osther again has the upper hand. at the end of the day it all comes down who is the better player. i dont think that penals are overperforming or as good as cons with ppsh, shocktroops or guards. but: if you choose a doctrin that dont has any of these. they are a very viable choice the way they are now. most times i use the doctrine with radio intercep +crew repais+ 2* t34 85+ is2 + stafe. all of them very powerfull abilities but the doctrine lacks the fancy infantrie stuff. 2 penal units give me what i need in terms of infantry fighting power in this case. looking at the game stats after the game my penals most of the time have dealt more than 1.5 times the infantry damage that my conscrips have inflicted. and that is while i had mostly a 3/2 ratio of conscrips running around. that would be 2.25 more damage for less then 1.5 times the price because of merge.

Thread: Penal Battalions THE THREAD!4 Mar 2014, 17:23 PM i ve been using them for mor than 50 games in a row and like them the way they are now. the steep initial cost gets balanced out over the course of a game if you constantly use merge. i would guess that i reinforce them more than 2/3rds ot the time using merge. reinforcing that way is a little akward at first. but after a while you get used to it and it becomes nearly as fast as just reinforcing normaly. most of the time i go for 3 cons followed by Penal, m3, penal, heal, then t70/t34. the first penals get flamers right away and go mg hunting. like already mentioned, a penal mg is more than worth it.
