Thread: Patch added so much tactical depth... really? Not ironic18 Apr 2014, 23:20 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2014, 13:36 PMThe amazing Chandler I am just asking because i hear this all the time but what i really see since the Patch is: Germans: Pio spam to SC or Gren spam to SC. 90% of the time Soviets: Penal spam and sniper spam (T1) and maxim spam. 90% of the time Is this more tactical depth? In my eyes it is not. Before the patch you could not tell what would be the BO of the factions. Caution: I am not saying that the patch was bad. i am only saying that there is something (Balance and someting else) really wrong with the implementation or something. Rushing to scout car now is almost necessary considering how much damage m3s can do in the hands of a skilled user. At the start of every game I have flashbacks of the times I got buttraped by m3 hordes, and took a blood oath to never be unprepared again. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COMRADES! Do not build T3 or T4. 17 Apr 2014, 22:53 PM The only thing I worry about is kv8s and su 85s, So please no one build su 85s ever and I will always beat you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What the .... is up with the germans ?15 Apr 2014, 22:29 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2014, 03:36 AMbraciszek Exactly. Soviets weren't meant for RTS. That is why this game isnt as popular as it should be. People hear Russians and think "Stalin's Steamroller!" but then they see 6 man squads vs 4 man squads and roughly the same amount of squads and tanks on both sides. Then they leave, seeing it as nerfed reskinned Americans. There isnt a real reason you cant make Soviets into a desirable faction. The biggest reason balance is a problem is because the lack of unit/doctrine diversity. When you have a few units/abilities to rely on, those work or they dont(for you). Any imbalances(perceived or real) become glaring. If you had a range of weaponry to choose from, you could develop your own tactics to overcome lots of discrepancies between factions. Example is in coho where there were many ways to build your army. Even the ghost ranger/infinite attrition army became beatable when people were able to build doctrines to fight it. When there are only 1 or 2 units vs 1 or 2 units, in a game built on asymmetrical warfare, Is it possible to ever find a "perfect balance". Hero units would be awesome in my opinion, but not the "super unit do all" types in coho, just a path to give players units that they feel they need to complete their army. In: COH2 Balance

Besides your comment is ungrateful you should be thanking people like me who actually play soviets on this crappy patch so people like you can enjoy playing around with your little pixel German soldiers, living out your Whermatch officer fantasies With that logic you should be thanking him for playing Germans so you can have an opponent in the first place.

Thread: What the .... is up with the germans ?12 Apr 2014, 20:26 PM I think people are playing Germans more now because they don't like the Soviet faction as much. When I first started playing Coh2, I simply chose German because I don't typically like Sov armies in any game because every unit is always an eyesore. When I started playing coh1, I chose US initially because I didn't want to play as the Evil Germans. Not to mention the reputation that "Soviets" have worldwide (except in Russia). The thing is if you are going to be an evil warmongering genocidal country, you need to have cool uniforms first. Or else nobody will want to play you in video games. I think just based on less hate for one particular faction, with the addition of Americans, the numbers of allies vs axis will even out. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What the .... is up with the germans ?12 Apr 2014, 01:42 AM Can someone tell which units to build to never lose as Germans. I still have a 50 percent win/lose after this patch. Obviously the Soviet players haven't won one single game this patch, so I too would like to use these units of perfection. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shreked PGrens... Balanced or no?7 Apr 2014, 21:05 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2014, 12:27 PMKatitof Use what wehr and PE did like... always? Don't treat PGrens with shrecks as attacking AT, you have tanks for that. Shrecks in vCoH were for protection of PaKs, 88s and Marders and this haven't changed in CoH2. In vcoh I used pg or strom trooper shrekd army alot. Tanks in vcoh were not so deadly vs inf as they are in coh2 so an all inf army was absolutely feasible. This went triple for pe tank hunters with the extra man upgrades and sprint. After the pe blob hit critical mass and vetted, they were near unstoppable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of CoH27 Apr 2014, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2014, 15:51 PMvoltardark Hello Folks; The feeling of Germans superiority come from the fact that that the Germans are about 10% to 20% easier to play then the Soviets. The Soviets must use all theirs tools to win, but the Germans don't have to. I would argue the reason they don't is because they can't afford to, replacing losses on smaller squads more frequently and munition drain makes it more difficult to stray from your original plan.

Thread: The state of CoH27 Apr 2014, 20:53 PM Really so you are saying just build panthers and win...cmon now. That would mean no Soviets would win ever, since the panther can kill everything and not be stopped. I build panthers that die all the time, every game I build them almost. I guess Im building the wrong ones or something.You say its fine then imply it's unstoppable, lol what a curve ball. In: COH2 Balance
