I bought vCoH on January 3rd, 2007.
Still missing the days of vCoH 1.71. It had it's issues, like paks sniping 57s, and the strafe didn't work, but overall, it was probably the most balanced time in CoH history.

OF ruined that. CoH 2 is....balanced in a nasty way. Everyone has an equal stockpile of gamebreaking bullshit. USA is full of early game BS while the OKW doesn't get its BS until late game. It's just a question of how badly you exploit the faction's shit and how quickly, after a patch, you discover the gaping holes of bullshit Relic leaves. But either way, it's all BS. The only "BS" in vCoH that was gamechanging was the fast m8 vs a bunker.

Thread: Coh 2 and VR2 Jul 2016, 21:12 PM Far from! We could have a tabletop mode where you select units with your fingers and point to spots. With the right tools, APM should go up In: Lobby
Thread: Coh 2 and VR2 Jul 2016, 18:50 PM Dated from May 2015 are a few articles about Coh2 possibly coming to VR but silence ever since afaik. Has anyone seen anything regarding coh and VR? In: Lobby
Thread: Opinion on the M4A3 Sherman?24 May 2016, 20:44 PM Beautifully consistent and balanced tank. It's specialty is against infantry of course but it's more effective against tanks than given credit for. It can support Jacksons/ATGs and square up against medium tanks in a pinch In: Strategy Desk

Thread: Volks flame nade--why is this still a thing?13 May 2016, 21:03 PM It's cheap as hell and just as effective as a normal grenade in some ways and better in others. It does plenty of instant damage and does lasting flame damage. The important thing here is that a volks that throws a flame nade has an area denial effect for quite a long time, long enough to burn up an mg. If a rifle squad throws a nade and then gets pinned, the nade either kills the mg or the rifles have to run. If a volks throws a flame nade, the mg MUST pack up. Okay I get it, its for the brits. This thing should really then be like the anti building grenade from vCoH. Either make it unable to target anything but buildings or make it do only a little damage to normal units but have a nice multiplier against buildings. Or perhaps turn it into something like a satchel--little range. But for the love of god why is it left as is??? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How Could the Axis Won the War ?8 May 2016, 01:04 AM War is a means of politics, nothing more or less. Winning WW2 meant winning it politically. The Allies won the politics, plain and simple. The Axis underappreciated the politics of the war. Once the Germans invade the Soviet Union, they're doomed sans miracles. There are fantasy scenarios sure, like going for Moscow right away. Would it have worked? Probably. And the Soviets would have a million extra men and the resources of middle/eastern Ukraine. Overall, the strategic situation probably isn't all that better or worse for both sides, militarily. Politically, it's a boon for the Germans but not the knockout fantasy would have you think. The Russians lost Moscow once before. On one hand, the railroad hub of Moscow is now cut. On the otherhand, the Germans have a VERY long frontline to cover and are facing a massive counterattack from Far Eastern forces AND Ukraine sector forces. Let's say the Japanese don't bomb Pearl Harbor. Okay, politically this is a better move but now they're starved of oil. If they just invade the Dutch East Indies, well, they're in a similar boat (haha) except the USN has their battleship line intact. And even if the Japanese caught the USN carriers in port, by 43 the Essex carriers would have naval parity, by 44 superiority, and by 45 supremacy. The war drags, sure, but nothing more. Sea Lion wasn't going to work. There's more to invasions than landing armies. Logistics are needed and the Germans lacked those. Also, destroying/crippling the entire British fleet, even if you have air superiority, is, well, good luck with that because the Kriegsmarine was so small. So how do the Axis "win"? They don't escalate the bloody conflict beyond their means!!! The Japanese negotiate with the Americans to end the oil embargo and they end the war in China with some concessions. The Germans, after blitzing France, settle into a 2nd Sitzkrieg that devolves into a Korean style ceasefire. (Whether the German economy could handle not conquering nations for their wealth and resources is another story though. Herr Hitler may have been fucked politically from the start). In: The Library
Thread: The Panzerjäger Doctrine [New Commander Idea]4 May 2016, 02:25 AM Honestly this is a pretty good doctrine that I think is well balanced and fits the faction. For Panzerjaegers, you could simply use the panzergren models and voice but have them come equipped with said AT rifles In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: The voice acting is good...too good28 Apr 2016, 23:45 PM As of late, I've noticed that the screams of the dying and wounded are really getting to me. They're done so well that I forget it's a game and remember that once upon a time, it wasn't. It could just be personality transformations. I've always been a war buff and a fan of war movies. And on that note, old movies I used to like have been bothering me lately too. The D-Day scene from Saving Private Ryan was this awesome really cool dramatic scene when I was younger. And now I can't help but remember that there were entrails hanging out, guys picking up severed limbs, and dying soldiers screaming for their moms 72 years ago on those fucking beaches. In: Scrap Yard
