Thread: Puma firing artillery shells after HEAT round duration ends30 Oct 2015, 03:07 AM So clearly bugs remain. How's the function of HEAT shells now? Do they connect as appropriate? What stats are we looking at? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: KV8 and KV1 excluded from 1-on the field heavy limit?7 Oct 2015, 13:08 PM We could see the KV-1 turn into a real meatshield tank like the Churchill. Both were ultimately outdated early war infantry tanks with similar guns and armor. While the KV1 is cheaper, the two tanks aren't even in the same realm of survivability. I'd like to see it get a fuel increase and become a real single-call in heavy to make the Church, particularly considering how alike the vehicles were. Plus now that the B4 lost both precision strike and the majority of it's far radius aoe damage, it'd complete the commander a bit more complete. In: Lobby
Thread: Stormtroopers - Ostheer's Orphans23 Sep 2015, 06:26 AM Pretty much everything said in this thread thus far is flat out incorrect. Stormtroopers more or less have the raw DPS and received accuracy of Pgrens with the reinforcement cost of a grenadier. Their Tactical Advance ability is one of the highest DPS abilities in the game, although it should ideally be used stationary and not on the move. They're one of the most powerful, high DPS, and most importantly manpower efficient units in the game. Stop thinking about the munition cost as a penalty. Instead consider that you are converting munitions to manpower by creating a very efficient squad. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: FYI: Hotfix is coming!!!! 22 Sep 2015, 02:50 AM Even worse is due to the OCF publicity automatch is FILLED with players comically abusing the vickers bug. Every game with every Brit player they just get a vickers to vet 1 than shoot from their base. It's a madhouse out there. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic needs internal testers.19 Sep 2015, 09:49 AM Oh Relic. Why do you make loving you so difficult? So much has been improved, and things are looking great but revision control at Relic has always been so comically out of control. It is essentially guaranteed to have 5-10+ issues reverted back to previous values every patch. I don't even know how they do it at this point honestly. In: Lobby
Thread: Balance Preview Update 09/09/201511 Sep 2015, 03:47 AM Any chance we could see the KV-1 turn into a real meatshield tank like the Churchill?

Thread: Bofors needs a nerf against infantry9 Sep 2015, 14:02 PM Ostheer doesn't have much choice but to go MHT if they face a Brit that may go for bofors or other emplacements. Ostheer can try to get away with regular mortars versus bofors but when the bofors has brace, self repair (doc), and the volley ability which immediately pins and wipes mortars within their own range than no decent player will lose it.

Thread: 25 pounder of the British army8 Sep 2015, 00:21 AM UKF arty isn't meant to be a decisive strike. It's meant to be ubiquitous. Stop trying to use it to spearhead an attack; use it to augment your attack, retreat, defense, etc. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: vickers vs hmg427 Sep 2015, 22:04 PM Isn't it pretty much a complete copy-paste from the MG42? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofors needs a nerf against infantry7 Sep 2015, 22:02 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2015, 21:13 PMhudcool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BMUU03kegQ it needs to be good against infantry and yea it can get countered by indirect fire, but this? Something is not right there..... Actually it cannot be countered by mortars. Stick a squad inside the bofors and it can use indirect fire itself, which will easily pin and wipe any mortars attacking it. In fact, I would almost say it is better at indirect fire than the mortar pit, why build anything else? In: COH2 Balance
