But, imho,these are just two damn lucky critical shots that might happen from time to time (cant remember having this luck myself). I will try to make a special vid for you as i'm now even more interested in carrying out this test myself. I never said It does it 100% of the time. But it does happen often(my guestimate is 70%-80% of the time your schrekked pgrens end up losing to the SU85 due to snipes and having to retreat). Remember there are only 4 squad members, so it only needs to kill two or three to make you lose your shit and retreat it. If you attack an SU85 with a schreck squad the pgrens will be lucky to kill the 85. also, the su85 can just ligtning reverse away and keep on snipin'. As Ace has said countless times, it is the small scatter on the 85 that causes the sniping. this is also why using snipers guards and su85's was so hard to counter. It remains to be seen if the patch (small stug buff) will have any effect on this. In: COH2 Balance

Give that man a medal. In: Lobby

Thread: July 30th Patch1 Aug 2013, 08:25 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2013, 17:40 PMpqumsieh OK, let me clarify a few things based on some of the questions that have popped up. First, there is accuracy in the game. Accuracy on all tanks is a value between 2.5% and 5%. The actual accuracy value being used in the current hit calculation is determined based on how far your target is from your position. So if your target is at max range, you will use a 2.5% accuracy modifier. If your target is half in between your max and min range, you will use 3.75%. This accuracy value is then multiplied by 0.5 if you are moving. That value is then multiplied by the target size which leads to your chance to hit. If a shot hits, nothing will stop it from hitting its target and dealing damage. If your shot misses, then there is still a chance for it to collide into enemy or neutral objects. If this happens, damage is dealt. Friendly units cannot collide with friendly projectiles. Damage is only dealt to friendly units if the shot hits close enough to splash onto friendly targets. @Nullist; only the T34-85 was affected by the scatter distance changes. Thanks a lot for the very informative and cool video and for explaining stuff. Its things like this that makes the fansite awesome and we appreciate your insights and would always love to see more In: COH2 Balance
Thread: July 30th Patch1 Aug 2013, 08:01 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2013, 05:21 AMMaydream U know what? Let's make a test. Just bring the squad of grens close to su and get it to at least a light cover. Post the replay so we could all see how much time it will take for the su to destroy those grens. Even more, we could do the same with pgrens and just see what happens. Fair enough? I'm not the guy spamming snipers, guards and sus. It may sound akward, but i mostly play soviet t3. And that wasn't Pripyat' for sure. It was a map with suburbs or smth. All right sir, Challenge accepted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B35rkBbK6-w [game played by peter (one of the devs) after the patch.] Specifically look at 23:40 to 23:50. The german pushes out of his base with a huge blob, leading with schrek'd pgrens. What happens is this: Just to clarify so you don't ask... the conscripts shoot at the pgrens for a little while at first before retreating, but the amount they contributed is very small and has no effect on the point I am trying to illustrate. First shot of SU-85 kills one squad member of the pgren squad. Second shot does nothing Third shot takes out two more pgren squad members, bringing it down to one man with a slither of hp left, after which the last member is killed by antoher su85 shot.(the camera moves away, but you can see it dying cos it dissapears from the UI, and nothing else was shooting at them at that time. The shocks only arrive after they are dead.) Bear in mind that this happened at long range. The SU-85 is even more accurate at sniping at closer ranges (i.e. the range the schreks have to be to shoot it). (I know the german guy blobbed but this has no effect on proving my point since the SU85 was shooting at the pgrens which were in front.) Now if this doesn't show to you in the most clearest of ways that su85's do snipe pgrens, I don't know what will. My point is they shouldn't be so damn effective at killing their own hard counter. Ok sure, you weren't that guy on pripiyat so i'm not mad at you lol I don't remember the game but you must have out played me then. I do often try new freaky builds so it could always have been a scenario like that. Now, all that being said I do have some good news. I tried out using stugs vs su85's last night and got quite some success. The lag between issuing orders and units responding has been greatly improved. I find stugs used with panzer tactition quite effective at keeping su85's at bay. Stugs should still have longer range, but it has been a step in the right direction to make them harder to hit at least(smaller target size). Using the stugs takes more micro than it takes to micro the SU-85 though cos of its superior range, so I still feel the complaints about the SU-85 have good grounds. It's damage is fine. Its ability to snipe pgrens and paks is pure bullshit. Its reverse speed is too damn high. If they fix the reverse and sniping problems then they have done a lot already. Its range is debatable but I dont see why in the world it should out range a stug. SU85's insane range makes it very hard on a map like pripiyat cos of the limited flanking avenues(trees on side protect it). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: July 30th Patch31 Jul 2013, 14:38 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2013, 14:30 PMIpKaiFung you missed a few things. there's no moving target modifiers, as he stated. If you roll a hit you get a hit. The T-70 target size is very small, 14 in fact making the chance to hit at max rage 35%. If your vehicle is moving you suffer a 50% accuracy reduction, resulting in an even lower chance of 17.5% The PIV wasnt taking any damage from his AT gun because it was a friendly unit as he stated. Cool, this confirms that the T70 and Stug now have the same target sizes. Wonder if it will be noticeable when SU85 fights a Stug... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: July 30th Patch31 Jul 2013, 13:36 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2013, 12:21 PMMaydream OMFG. Will u eventually stfu with ur nonsense? IT DOES NOT SNIPE INFANTRY! In fact it is totally useless against it. I'm pretty sure I've played against you a week ago or so (if u have the same steam name) and completely owned wihtout getting even close to SU's. If I'm right, then u're just bad at this game, and that pretty much explains ur whining. As if all u crying ppl wanted a WIN button to be added. Look at what Hissy said above.. Clearly you haven't played much ostheer. The Su85 will snipe pgrens. Im not saying it always happens, but 3/4 times I cant kill the su85 cos too many of my pgren squad members got sniped. Note this is a lone su85 with a lone pgren approaching it(thus no other support factors). You can also go look at ace's post in the su85 thread to see it's insanely low scatter values for yourself (lower than all other tanks). There were also a number of videos posted in that thread showing how su85 outright wins vs paks. No reason to get personal, there is general consensus that SU85 needs looking at. By the way, are you the guy who spammed m3 and snipers+guards into su85 on pripiyat? No further comments lol. No one asked for it to be nerfed to shit. It merely needs a balancing tweak, or the ostheer equivalent(Stug) needs an appropriate tweak. The vanilla t34 also needs a buff so no-one is asking for "only german buffs and russian nerfs" or some bullshit like that. I play Russians too. It also remains to be seen if the target size reduction on the stug will have any real effect on the current meta which always ends up in p4 vs su85. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dear Relic, can I have a word please? (Russian history)31 Jul 2013, 12:51 PM History is full of these perceptions. I think the bottom line is that you can't keep blaming people for what their forefathers did. I am an Afrikaans speaking South African. My great grandfather was in a British concentration camp during the Anglo-Boer war (1899-1903). 26 000 women and children died in those camps which is a very high number compared to the total Afrikaner population of that time. This was the second war between British and Boer, we refer to it as the second freedom war/"tweede vryheidsoorlog" (The Boers won the first freedom war). The British refer to it as the "Boer war". This is typical of one nation making the war be the other nation's fault. The British also burned farms and put poison into food of concentration camp inmates. They had a brutal scorched earth doctrine under Lord Kitchener. Google it if you don't believe me. Do I hate the British? No. You can't blame people now for what happened so long ago. Will I forget about it? No. History is an important way to learn from the mistakes mankind made. The same can be said for people judging Afrikaners/Boers for oppressing black people under apartheid in South Africa. I don't want people to judge me because of some laws made by the government so many years ago. I don't even agree with those laws. Accordingly I wont judge people on what their governments might have done a long time ago. Besides look at all the native americans / aborigines in australia that were murdered.. I don't blame modern day Americans or Australians for these things. Nor do I blame modern day Russians or Germans for the atrocities of WWII. It is a fact that they happened, but lets not get over excited about a game. The game is about soldiers fighting, not Ideologies. If you were offended by single player then play multiplayer and don't sweat it. People should just play the game and see it as fiction. It may be accurate, It might not be, if you want better facts go study history or read books. You will always have some point of view of the author(s), and I really don't think Relic were trying to hurt any Russian feelings. I find Multiplayer is the best part of the game in any case so quit bitching about single player. In: Lobby
