Thread: Balance Patch 17 Jun 2013, 16:30 PM Another thing I've not seen yet (or maybe just failed to notice) is that extended T1 will become a lot more favorable with such low upkeep. In fact the normal T1 might change from 4 to 5 or 6 now, since there is no reason not to spam more infantry early on. After all, it'll hardly impact you later in the game when you're trying to build a lot of tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Anti-tank guns must have hold fire ability again17 Jun 2013, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2013, 22:22 PMTychoCelchuuu Play Men of War MVGame. Not sure what you're getting at ... you do know Dawn of War 1, you know that one game made by Relic which Company of Heroes is based off, had a regular Move order that didn't involve attacking?

Thread: German vs Soviet sniper 1v116 Jun 2013, 21:56 PM I was playing as a German sniper in a game yesterday, trying to hunt down a Soviet sniper squad. I shot one of them first, then immediately retreated back out of range to reload. The soviet sniper, down to 1 man, had presumably right clicked on my sniper and was chasing him (we're both out of range of each other). I stopped and also right clicked on the Soviet sniper. Then they proceeded to both shoot each other and kill each other simultaneously..` Lesson learned, snipers shoot each other at the same rate and you need to be in stealth to win the engagement. But if you ask me, this is a little broken. I thought the German sniper is supposed to have a range/speed advantage since he's only 1 man? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Hit the Dirt Counters16 Jun 2013, 21:48 PM Flamethrowers since it ignore the cover bonus. Bundle nades since it makes them easy targets. Mortars since they're sitting ducks while in Hit the Dirt. Tanks since you can drive them over while they are lying around. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Anti-tank guns must have hold fire ability again16 Jun 2013, 21:44 PM Hold fire for every unit please.. Right now there's a huge problem with AI idiocy autofiring and giving away your flank the moment they run past an observation post. How are we supposed to apply strategy and 'take advantage of truvision' when units are doing stupid things? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why with the new patch panther is a stug?16 Jun 2013, 21:36 PM What are people crying about now? I just used a Panther yesterday to kill an AT gun, 2 infantry squads, 3 mortars, 1 T-34 all with taking less than 50% damage (by itself, no other support). The other played even said "omg its a panther" in chat. I was laughing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KV8's Flamers16 Jun 2013, 21:34 PM What's wrong with the KV8? If you don't have a panzerfaust or any other AT nearby and you don't retreat as soon as you see one, then that's your own fault. and I say this as player who has almost never uses KV8 but get faced off it a lot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Patch 16 Jun 2013, 19:37 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2013, 01:13 AMhubewa The point of changing the upkeep is so that people who preserve their units properly don't get crippled by a +99 income compared with one guy who doesn't, still keeps their +300 income and spams tanks while the good player can only reinforce squads. True true. I can also look at it this way though: once you are down, it becomes even harder to come back. If you ask me though, I think the VP tick rate is too low when you're controlling only 2/3rds of them. It's really hard to control all 3 on maps like Pripyat even if you're winning pretty much every engagement. Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2013, 16:47 PMPingPing Well - I'd say it's now OP Russians - just by the swing in % of players you see wanting to play as Russians now - before it was 75% Germans 25% - now its maybe 40/60. I just started playing Russians yest - unbeaten so far - they're really too overpowering with that AT nade ability and then a pack of T34's just mowing things down. Though the Panzer IV spam now is a bit ridiculous also. The scout car seriously needs attention - it's a joke right now. What makes the Soviets OP here? I've been playing as only Germans since this patch and won every single battle. If anything, the German T3 is amazing now compared to before where it was nearly useless. The nerf of the panzershrek's range and soviet equivalent makes tanks even more useful. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: COH2 Unit Stats Chart16 Jun 2013, 19:33 PM The DPS is only on the main gun though, right? There's also a secondary top gunner. Are these stats updated for this week's patch yet? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Balance Patch 15 Jun 2013, 22:34 PM What's the deal with the upkeep from 4 to 1.5? Was it always like that since open beta began? I think that is a big big change.. (and pop per unit seems lower all around too). Going to make it harder to come back and we'll see more unit spam all around. ------ Also I'd say Soviet T3 got a huge nerf relative to German T3 because T34 is now 20 fuel more, whereas Panzer IV is ridiculously better now as is the Ostwind and both their prices decreased.
