Thread: "Sweet Jesus"5 Sep 2014, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2014, 09:34 AMCruzz Sounds very much like classic CoH gameplay. Sure, snipers were even more prominent back in the days, and they as well took a dump on the whole cover mechanics. But: Light vehicles were actually able to flank and chase them down - no AT nades and button to stop them dead in their tracks. And while it created a game-inside-the-game, you always had the option to fight one sniper with another sniper on even footing, which involved at least some kind of skill (if you don't count the miss-chance on moving snipers) and doesn't rely on a lucky artillery hit. Long range insta-wipe units are completely new. The only direct-fire long range units were static (-emplacements) and mainly AT. Okay, artillery was the same, if not worse. Point is, Sniper-Guards-ISU is no fun. F--- that. I rather fight against a horde of conscripts and T34-85s, they at least stick to the rules. In: Replays
Thread: "Sweet Jesus"5 Sep 2014, 02:52 AM Vet5 Jagdtiger = Sold The mancum drain is real! But seriously, this game had nothing to do with classic, good CoH gameplay. Snipers, long range insta-wipe units and artillery completely drain the fun out of it. The main bulk of this over one hour long game consists of: 1. running infantry in the middle 2. getting infantry in the middle one-shotted 3. rebuild infantry and repeat step 1 4. trying to kill snipers with artillery, which can sprint away, because why not 5. trying to destroy one long range unit with another longer range unit I don't want to discredit the players in any way, (they played well) but the game designers. This particular gameplay is aggravating, boring and static to no end. Snipers, ISU and guards don't allow any flanks (at least on this map), the use of cover or a somewhat dynamic gameplay at all, it's all about hardcounters. It's really shitty. I can't imagine either one of you had much fun playing this grind for an hour. In: Replays
Thread: Bugs & Sugesstions5 Sep 2014, 00:10 AM Listing some of the bugs is nice, but i would rather like them to be seperated from your balance suggestions - which i don't like. (Ostwind at 6CP, OKW Flak Halftrack firing on the move and 250MP/25 Fuel is rather... extreme) In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: Thoughts on the Kubelwagen30 Aug 2014, 16:25 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2014, 15:02 PMJinseual I don't think the kubelwagen can reverse in a heartbeat. In my experience the kubelwagen always move forward a little bit before backing up. I don't know why but it delays them from reversing. That has to do with the stupid 3-point-turn of light vehicles. Yes, it might be more realistic, but no vehicle should handle like that in a game with notoriously bad pathing. The 221/2 was plagued with this as well, until they removed this "feature" because they somehow realized it might be more fun if vehicles would actually back up first and not drive straight forward if you give them the order to reverse.

Thread: Thoughts on the Kubelwagen30 Aug 2014, 14:34 PM In 1v1 the Kübelwagen is easily flanked and loses its impact rather early - people are actually more inclined to give it a buff in form of extended late game utility, from what i sense. In 2v2 things look very different. You should have put the disclaimer "...from the perspective of mainly a 2v2 player" at the top of your thread, or people will go crazy and do unspeakable things to your anus. I will agree that the Kübelwagen and Sturmpionier combo can be surprisingly effective early on on small maps, for example Road to kharkov. But that has mainly to do with 1v1 maps that are used as 2v2 maps and don't leave enough room to flank. You won't get that much mileage on open and bigger 2v2 maps out of the Kübelwagen.

Thread: usa tanks losing mg upgrade from repair30 Aug 2014, 02:18 AM Do you mean regular repairs or the repair critical ability? Either way it should be a bug if that happens... In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Soviet players cloning or respawning29 Aug 2014, 15:57 PM Conscripts can merge with other infantry units, but i think in your case they just reinforced from a forward HQ. Certain soviet commanders can target buildings and transform them into forward HQs, which can reinforce and heal infantry around it. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: What happened to Relic?29 Aug 2014, 15:47 PM Patch frequency wise Relic is doing fine... if they wouldn't introduce new problems and bugs with every patch. I swear every time i visit this site i see a new video or thread with a new bug popping up. They surely have a lot to fix, if they don't want to look incompetent and get their game "e-sports ready". Balance could be handled better, but it gets handled at least. Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2014, 15:23 PMREforever CoH1 also had the British Army so that automatically makes it better than CoH2 in my opinion. Relic can remedy this though by reintroducing the British Army in CoH2(...) Oh god noooo! Heresy! I played the steam version of vCoH recently and i was surprised how much more i liked CoH2 not only but mostly for the lack of a British faction. In: Lobby
Thread: US Smoke Grenade Use against MG's.25 Aug 2014, 21:16 PM If you got only one riflemen you can easily throw smoke in front the MG from his maximum (viewing-) range (so you don't have to get suppressed) and proceed to run towards the MG. After that the MG should be in range for a regular grenade and can be forced off. Oh, and smoke grenades can slow vehicles down too. In: Strategy Desk
