Thread: Can you please fix the Russian Sniper RELIC?!?31 Jul 2013, 17:46 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2013, 17:39 PMTheDGN Problem is all you need is one or two Maxims and all of a sudden the snipers cant be gotten too and will just bleed German manpower. Even so, its not a problem with the sniper by itself so much as an issue with the Scoutcar/Sniper combo. Why not simply move the Russian sniper to T2? That way it delays the Sniper/Scoutcar to about the same time that the German can have the counter (251). Also it would likely create an opportunity for the german sniper, who would at least have not have the fear of being immediately countersniped... even tho who builds a sniper against 6 mand weapons crews anyway? If we moved it to T2, then you would just have the Maxim/Sniper combo become the new meta as you put it. Again, this is where a 2v2 game makes it more difficult. It is rare to see a player build both the first and second building in a 1v1, but in a 2v2 its completely possible. The end result is better unit synergy which is compounded by team work. My suggestion, try and synergize some of your own units to beat them. A German sniper using attack move can readily counter snipe a Soviet sniper placed in a half-track. You can't give target priority to the Soviet sniper while its garrisoned, meaning it is hard for him to counter snipe you back. That said, I would do this with 2 or 3 Grenadiers acting as a meat shield. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: July 30th Patch31 Jul 2013, 17:40 PM 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. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can you please fix the Russian Sniper RELIC?!?31 Jul 2013, 16:57 PM Another strategy we use to counter an early aggressive sniper spam is to field an even greater number of Grenadiers. You will retain a number advantage throughout the whole game and be able to push the other player off the map. Rush out a 251 and you force them to adapt or lose map control. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How scatter and accuracy function together within COH231 Jul 2013, 16:44 PM A few notes not mentioned in the video: - no collision on friendly units, so damage is dealt to them via splash - accuracy is determine based on distance then multiplied vs. target size In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How scatter and accuracy function together within COH231 Jul 2013, 16:42 PM Below is a short clip which explains how scatter, scatter angle, and accuracy work within COH2. This should help address a number of questions I have been receiving lately regarding the last patch. http://www.twitch.tv/pqumsieh/c/2662960 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Congratz Relic on launching your Twitch channel30 Jul 2013, 17:26 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2013, 17:18 PMCyridius I wonder if this'll be a regular thing. I was thinking of doing a brief cast today at 11 am PST/ 7 PM GMT to discuss how accuracy, scatter max distance, and scatter angle work. Hopefully this will clear up some confusion regarding the changes. In: Lobby
Thread: July 30th Patch30 Jul 2013, 02:46 AM Panzer 4 accuracy vs tanks should remain roughly the same, scatter mainly affects anti-infantry. The T-70 change is largely negligible. In some scenarios it actually can make it worse. Having too low of a scatter makes it harder to hit moving targets for example. Namely retreating targets. Strafe DPS went from +150 to roughly 30. It also strafes 3 times rather than 5. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vet From Mines29 Jul 2013, 16:33 PM The perception that teller mines are drastically inferior to soviet mines strikes me as odd. Personally, I enjoy having a mine that is more likely to have a high rate of return. It deals 500 damage, can only trigger on high value units, and is fairly cheap when you consider the targets it can one shot. 60 munitions to outright destroy a T70/SU-76 or lower seems like a pretty good deal. That said, I realize its overall utility early game is quite low and does reduce the number of counters available to the German player, but its late game potential far exceeds its counterparts.

Thread: German Sniper should be cheaper29 Jul 2013, 16:26 PM The sniper mass meta was quite strong internally for a number of months internally. In fact, I believe it is still viable on the German side in team games. Ill see if I can get a replay demonstrating it at some point in te near future. In: COH2 Balance
