Thread: Native Speaking Mod6 Dec 2013, 17:39 PM I am using the native speaking mod and the skin mod together. Thank you very much, Senseo1990. I really appreciate it. In: Lobby
Thread: Explosion with Molotov6 Dec 2013, 15:42 PM That would be a very good idea. Everything that removes control from you is bad for the gameplay. Troops seeking autocover (and in this case, cover means a very hot place) is just generally frustrating. I mention this in every molotov related thread - i wish they made grenades uncancelable. The whole throw-the-molotov-then-cancel ad infinitum until the opponent doesn't move is just a stupid micro minigame that has nothing to do with strategy. H_Stickeye, i despise you. I waited several posts from you to be sure. You have absolutely no idea how powerful molotovs are. But this thread is not about OP or UP, it is about gameplay mechanics. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is it just me or Ostheer are just pathetic at this point?27 Nov 2013, 18:32 PM Spam grens, skip T2, get a stugIII, kill T-70. It costs a soviet player more fuel to get molotovs, T1 or 2, T3 and a T70 than it takes you to get a stugIII if you skip T2 Correct me if i'm wrong: Stug 3 + Tier 1 and 3 buildings + teching cost: 170 fuel +10 Tier 1 building +25 Battle phase 1 +35 Battle phase 2 +25 Tier 3 building +95 Stug 3 -20 starting fuel T70 + Molotov + Tier 1 and 3 buildings: 160 fuel +25 Molotov +40 Tier 1 building +90 Tier 3 building +55 T70 -50 starting fuel These numbers only work under the assumption of equal map control. 5 Conscripts with molotovs WILL hold more map than anything the ostheer T1 can provide. The Stug comes several minutes to late, in which you most likely will lose total map control. Plus, the Soviets have more manpower to spend until both units hit the field. Even a fuel cache won't make a difference, because +3 fuel equals one normal territory point (which you most certainly won't posses at that point). -Correction: The Support Armor Korps costs 25 fuel.

Thread: MG 42 The Most Useless Unit In The Game27 Nov 2013, 13:10 PM Relic overnerfed the mg42. Weapon horizontal traverse speed from 60 to 25 and the received damage multiplier were a good thing, but together with the reduced suppression it is just to much. On a side note: If you could choose the direction of fire in buildings preemtive (e.g. via attack ground command) i would be very happy. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: How to counter penal spam?24 Nov 2013, 16:54 PM Penals have no armor and die to small arms fire just as easily as conscripts. Lmgs or G43s therefore are very cost effective. Since your opponent has no conscripts to reinforce his penals cheaply, the manpower drain is noticeable. Mgs also work better against them because penals are more expensive and in fewer numbers on the field. Or in other words: Mgs only have to force the retreat to ~3 penal squads instead of 5 molotow wielding conscripts for example. Your flamer HT should not have a problem against a single AT gun. Basically without the threat of AT nades you can drive up front, get shot once and circle it until it dies. The one thing that is slightly annoying against penals is the fact that you have to watch out for satchel charges all the time. The 1-2 sec input delay makes quick reactions mandatory.

Thread: Suggestion: Two game modes (competitive and casual)20 Nov 2013, 10:24 AM Suggestion: Balance and test DLC properly before releasing it. Seriously, the community is already small enough even without splitting them in two. For the casual scene: I hope there are some mods with all kinds of crazy new units and commanders ala Blitzkrieg Mod coming in the near future. But now that i think about it... yeah, give me that competetive mode. No bulletins, no new commanders, no bullshit. (Except when they are releasing a commander with a Jagdpanther) In: Lobby
Thread: ELEFANT nerfed?19 Nov 2013, 14:50 PM The Elefant was not nerfed, the long range accuracy is just a little lacking. Regarding the picture: I saw a stream of StephennJF, where the whole game hinged on his vet3 PGs not dying on retreat and losing Panzerschrecks in the process. In the end he got so lucky that the only explanation is divine guidance.

Many many levels of really deep balance consideration in each image. High praise from Nullist. Thanks, that made my day. Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2013, 14:14 PMNullist I dunno who the bearded god is though! That is obviously veteran CoH legend I2azor. Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2013, 14:14 PMNullist Not sure about Red cover on retreat though. Retreating on red cover gives a penalty, i'm pretty sure. In: Lobby
Thread: What the PRO's think of COH218 Nov 2013, 13:37 PM Hmmm yeah, i also think most of what HolyHammer said is the honest truth. But i can't dislike anything with an Elefant tank in it. Such a sweet looking and sounding Elefant. I... i... i just can't. In: COH2 Gameplay
