They are the dedicated bunker/building destroyer. I call them postal battalion because all they do is deliver satchel charges. |
I agree with OP. At this point, release is 6 weeks away. Only thing we saw so far is one trailer, released doctrines that include some units of the new factions and few interviews.
As for the closed alpha or beta, whatever you want to call it. They probably only wanted a small amount of people more to play it. They were surprised that they got 5,000 applications. They probably realized that "oh crap this alpha needs to be changed to a better state before we allow the general community to play it."
As for marketing goes... It blows... Compared to Bobby's promotion of coh2 listing facts of battles and hinting information. The current twitter did some cute competition and "What faction are you looking forward to the most." It just seems so half-assed.
A lot of the community is skeptical about the expansion. We all know that it's going to be horribly balanced at day one.

US Merikans just want the tank that shoots rockets of freedom. The Calliope. |
Judging from the trailer, sounds like they got the same people who did rising storm for the Americans. I mean the actual units. |
Well the reason why Von and others are advocating for a range change is due to the effectiveness in 2 vs 2. Maps such as crossing the woods, minsk, and others the elefant and isu can shoot units from the other side of the map. The range really ruins 2 vs 2. I do agree with jin and von's solution, but knowing relic, they will over nerf them both. |
Con spam > Gren spam. It has returned in full force. Though it is not as potent as it was before, especially with the old PPsH, it can still do waves of dmg especially when cons are grouped together. Soviet mines are capable of wiping full health gren squads on occasion and while they retreat. Soviet Armor is More AI then AT overall. Maxims while weak, are still effective with good micro(which I'm fine with) because it can be countered by your average german mortar. Shocks are very effective at close range, so as a German player you must always keep your distance. Soviet snipers are trollolo, especially with guards, but still counterable....as long as you don't mess up or get boned by RNG. ISU is a Gren's worst nightmare. Nerfs are not needed, but changes to the way certain vehicles, abilities, weapons work are needed.

Agreed. |
Honestly, I don't see the problem with it. Did they have both fuels? Did they have one fuel with mass fuel caches? It's RNG based, at times you can only get 20, 30 seems to be the most common and 40 is rare but it occurs from time to time. It's inferior compared to the luftwaffe fuel supply drop.
Plus Shermans are what? 35 more fuel than t34s and they really aren't significantly better. Sherman excels against infantry, however, the t34 already does a good job killing infantry.
I think the ability and the Sherman is fine. The reason why we see the supply drop a lot is because that doctrine isn't munition heavy. 222s have been doing a great job shooting those planes down for me. Perhaps like others say, slow down the speed of the plane to fully balance it out. |
Whenever the thread involves Death's Head, SSHeini, and co, its automatically a shitpost central.
Allow me to post copypasta to shit it up more so it can get locked.
Hey chat, hey Von...Pqumsieh from Relic here. I'm glad to see that you are enjoying one of our finer games, RNG Heroes 2, but I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from breaking it like you are. You are NOT playing it the way we wanted you to, and you are having a lot less fun than you could. Plz no grenspamerino. Please consider or your body won't be ready for the Relic Lawyers. Thank you Mr.Von, and Game on! - Peter
Hello, I'm AmiPolizeiFunk, i'm currently running a web about CoH2 players and their stats, specially VonIvan, Sepha, Jamin, Dusty, and some Caterino, and MilkaCow (not sure about that fgt thou), I was promoting my web trough Reddit the past month but suddenly my web is shadownbanned and my account is now in danger, WHY YOU DO THIS REDDIT MODS? YOU A RE DESTROYING THE COH2 SCENE. Pls no coperino pasterino. Real story.
Here i was, minding my own business, when suddenly this potato headed idiot just waltzes right into my life alwasy yelling 'squadwipe this' and 'RNG God fuck that'. who the fuck is this salty vegan casual? i just want to eat and sleep all day, not listen to this oj guzzling nerd. VonIvan pls. -- sincerely, cataclaw
We waited ten years to von stream. I'm so sad right now. I remember coh 2 strem, was much fun. I was just masturbating to some of Von's VODs, when suddenly my phone bipped. It was an e-mail by Twitch, telling me that VonIvan just went live. I almost exploded my dick in a epic orgasm. The name os the stream was DEFENSE OF MG42 PYLONS NEWBIE POV STREAM, a classic trolling name. Then, when I finally open the stream, I saw a strange game played by von. It was StarCraft 2,
Lets lock the thread now.

Would read again. |
They really don't need it. Im fine if it's doctrinal though. Murica from coh1 only had doctrinal AT infantry as well. Does that automatically make that fine if Americans didnt have it? No. The point is that the Germans have tanks that dont affect infantry: panther, elefant etc. Yeah the Germans get shrecks but every soviet tank is effective against su85 except the su85.
Even if Penals get a bazooka, not much will change. They need to reduce the aim times of the PTRS because they're useless against a good player. |
