Thread: The autocover system dived my squads into suppression arcs8 Aug 2013, 22:25 PM 4 times. For the love of God. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Didn't work before. Doesn't work now. In: Replays
Thread: RELIC; Can we get an ETA on Leaderboards? Please?8 Aug 2013, 19:55 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2013, 17:03 PMCombatMuffin Legally? Can you quote any marketing explicitly stating leaderboards at release? Industry trends and gameplay standards are not legally binding. It says it on the steam page. I've posted the picture numerous times here, highlighted it with a big red box. I'm not going to bother doing it again. In: Lobby
Thread: Penal Battalions8 Aug 2013, 19:54 PM Merge gives the model the stats of the squad it is merging into iirc. That includes the weapon. If that wasn't the case Merge would be useless. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Anti-Air disparities8 Aug 2013, 19:52 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2013, 13:05 PMboc120 Cyridius, did you miss where peter explained how AA actually works in a mechanics sense? Each shot has a certain small percentage of bringing down a plane. Planes don't have hitpoints, they don't take cumulative damage. They are balanced based on how many shots are fired. An Ostwind has a higher per-shot chance of bringing down a plane and a Quad has a smaller per-shot chance. It's balanced by the Ostwind firing fewer shots per barrage than the M5. Pintel-mounted MGs have yet a smaller chance because that is not their main function. I must just be ridiculously lucky with my mounted MGs then. It's almost instant every single time I've faced a plane with my MG42. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Apparently Penal Battalions are OP8 Aug 2013, 19:51 PM I build a Penal every single game. Just one. I'd kill more of my own guys than my enemies if I was throwing more than one satchel charge at a time. Penals match PzGrens for DPS, and they can effectively be reinforced for 20MP a pop. They're quite valuable and extremely lethal when positioned well. In: Replays
Thread: Double MG open with bulletins pretty game-breaking8 Aug 2013, 19:48 PM This is how I handle multiple MGs on Langres.

Thread: The Metagame: HMG Spam8 Aug 2013, 19:44 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2013, 16:02 PMNullist Makes flanking and even direct assault effective from behind cover if you can close within the minimum range, thereby making HMGS ineffective at simply turning (while withstanding fire) and continuing fire. You don't yet appreciate the genius of this solution. And there is a precedent on RNades having minimum range. I know it breaks the vCoH precedent, but I think this solution is tactically, statwise, and economically overall the soundest. Think about it for a minute. Just one minute. Thats all I ask. The minimum range isn't the issue. Getting on a support team's flanks isn't even that much of an issue. It's doable in many situations. The issue is that it doesn't reward the player. Adding a minimum range fixes nothing, it just gives me another place to not be rewarded from. If I can get up into the minimum range of that MG, it'll be no different to me getting out of its arc and wailing on it. Which I can already do. It just isn't effective. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Metagame: HMG Spam8 Aug 2013, 19:42 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2013, 18:21 PMCryptacide This may be a dumb question, but, if you re-crew with say, a vet2 gren squad, does this mean the new mg squad will have increased durability? I think veterancy is a dynamic modifier, so if you were to recrew and they lose vet, they lose the benefits that came with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Anti-Air disparities8 Aug 2013, 12:37 PM The MG42 takes down plans so quickly that they tend not to drop their payload at all. If it's a long way in front, then they might drop it, but if the payload is on or near or behind the tank, it's not gonna happen. I'm not exactly arguing for buffs or nerfs, I'm just stating that there is a confusing difference between the AA functionality that isn't really consistent. If anything I'd look for a buff to the Quad and a nerf to the other AA types. Taking so long that a planes can still complete a load of runs without going down is stupid, but going so fast that planes are totally nullified is just as bad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What are the Anti-Cheat Measures in CoH2? If any?8 Aug 2013, 12:32 PM It's not optimal but it's all they can do in a peer 2 peer system. In COH1 they were fairly expedient with response times. But I don't see it working the same this time around. Seeing as the game is run off Steam, and you use your steam account, it would require Valve's team to look at it in order to decide if they should ban them or not. If it's not that, at the very least Valve will be involved in the process somewhere. There were no bans for hackers in DoW II. In: Lobby
