Thread: Regarding partisans22 Nov 2013, 18:04 PM Irregulars: Can only spawn from off map & cost 250 mp. Partisans: Can spawn from buildings or off map and 160mp. Irregulars seem to have a much greater survivability than partisans (even after the partisan upgrade). Most likely, they have the same stats as Conscripts except much higher DPS (and 4 man squad ofc). Conscripts can merge with Irregulars, but not Partisans. EDIT: I am yet to see any concrete stats, this is only my impression so far. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: 40% Off17 Nov 2013, 10:47 AM Hi ladies & gents, Steam has given me a tradeable 40% off coupon for Coh2, I already have the game and none of my friends are RTS players so I'm happy to give it to a lurker looking to buy the game. Just send me a PM and I'll add you on steam. In: Lobby
Thread: Turning Point Update patch notes11 Nov 2013, 19:55 PM Partissssssaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnssssssssss! I'm really looking forward to this patch, I feel a new meta coming on with some of these drastically different commanders. On a side note does anyone know the difference between Partisans and Irregulars? In: News
Thread: Pg Spam31 Aug 2013, 20:28 PM Snipers Snipers Snipers. Even 1 Sniper will bleed the Ostheer Manpower causing that strat to become difficult to sustain However, make sure to support your snipers from the inevitable Scout Cars/Flamer HT's using either Guards or Conscripts with AT Nades. EDIT: I often go 3 Conscripts (and see 2 or 3 pio squads I know this may lead to PGren Spam), I then go T1, Flamer in Clown Car, followed by Sniper and Penal Squad if i'm feeling adventurous. Can follow it up with T2 if I go Guard Motor Coordination Tactics and save for T34/85s. Or T4 for Su-85s. In: Strategy Desk

Thread: Do you think ScoutCar is OP now?22 Aug 2013, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2013, 20:48 PMGustavGans I don't get it. The scout car's AI ability remains the same if upgraded or not, why would it suddenly become op? Just because I now only need one instead of two scout cars to deal with m3's n cons? Before the coaxial LMG was disabled after upgrading the 20mm Autocannon. Now it stays active, and it's too effective at killing infantry for its cost, it completely denies M3 play (which is should) but it also now dicks on conscripts and other infantry. EDIT: As it has been mentioned elsewhere - now its the early equivalent of SU-85 kiting. It just reverses out of conscript range while peppering away and killing models rapidly.

Thread: Soviets!!... What do we do now?21 Aug 2013, 22:15 PM Penetration went up: Main gun damage from 80 to 120 • Main gun penetration from 75 to 80 • Cost from 240 MP and 95 FU to 280 MP and 85 FU So now it 100% penetrates Pz4 from Rear, and 50% from front. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Do you think ScoutCar is OP now?21 Aug 2013, 20:55 PM They have an increased 'Shock' Value, which is a good thing. They can make a difference in the game, however Soviets have counters to deal with it. The Soviets just have to prepare for it. If guards manage to get off 1 or 2 PTRS Shots before buttoning, its an outright kill on a fresh scout car. Also - AT Nades now do slightly more damage (and always penetrate a scout car) making Conscripts more dangerous. Yes - Conscripts can be kited, but its all about flanking MVGame In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: F.A.Q. for everyone.21 Aug 2013, 20:42 PM 1. ZiS-3 76mm: When firing barrage, if a shell hits a tank, is it the same damage has a normal shot ? I don't think it's the same, what's the difference ? I don't think it is the same, i've seen shells hit tanks and very little damage. Don't have the stats for it though. 2. Crushing: I know the T-70 has pretty good crushing stat, which other tank can crush and which ones are the best, are pinned units more likely to get crushed? All tanks in the game can crush I believe. Yes - pinned and HTD are particularly vulnerable as they don't move. 3. Mortar Barrage: Beside shooting faster, is it more accurate ? I can test this but after using barrage, is there a delay before the mortar starts firing shells again ? No idea, it certainly doesn't feel like it. I have always assumed it's a rapid fire in a certain area (kind of like a rapid attack ground order) EDIT: To support this see: COH2 DPS Spreadsheet Credit to Endeav and wooof. This shows AOE Distance & Accuracy as the same during regular fire and barrage, but a higher dps to the faster rate of fire. 4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but flame was very powerful vs. infantry with armor in vCOH, is this still the case ? Flamers ignore Armour, so yes they are effective against PGrens and Shocks. (And there is the 10 - 15% chance of igniting a model instagibbing it) 5. I saw different information concerning "Oorah" in one post, I saw that it increase combat effectiveness, is this true or does it only increase the movement speed ? It actually decreases combat effectiveness to a degree - when standing still it does nothing, however when moving it ofc increases movement speed, and during this the conscripts do not shoot.

Thread: Merge con with shock?16 Aug 2013, 10:25 AM Yeah - Merge is useful in a situation such as: 2 Squads in the field, 1x Conscript Squad 6 Men full health. 1x Shocks on say, 2 Men. Merge to refill the Shocks as they have higher dps, and retreat the conscript squads rather than retreating the Shocks, but of course they won't last as long. In: COH2 Gameplay
