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: Ass Engie opening 14 Sep 2014, 04:41 AM I've been tinkering with ass engie openings now that they are quite...dominating. I was thinking ass, ass, rifle, rifle ,rifle, captain, ambulance? Alternatively, ass ass rifle Lt and then either m20+ambulance or AA HT? It seems to work better against OKW but Kubels could be either a giant problem (close range asses) or fodder (ass mines). Demo charges are beautiful btw In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: Close the Pocket10 Sep 2014, 00:11 AM Guys, on the tactical level, the German army was still conducting encirclements. Remember we are talking, well, company sized units here, and Germans weren't exactly losing tactically until the very last stages of the war. German tactical brilliance is what kept them in the war so long in the first place. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Matchups Rules of Thumb9 Sep 2014, 22:58 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2014, 22:17 PMASneakyFox thats not actually how scoring of chess pieces works. You wouldnt trade a bishop and a knight to capture a rook. I said B and K are together better than R. I think the analogy works quite well too! In rare circumstances (enough pawns on the board), knight or bishop can be better alone than a rook, and how many pawns, how many pieces left, and their configuration can give a rough determination of whether K or B is better (if you really understand chess and have studied the theory that is). I think Double E8 vs Tiger matches up fantastically with Double bishop vs Rook and pawn/2 pawns (pawn being a panzershrek/light AT support). Of course, these are all analogies that are frankly redundant so can we go back to discussing tank matchups? In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Tank Matchups Rules of Thumb9 Sep 2014, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2014, 17:02 PMAerohank The T34 has a low velocity gun which has a greater penetration drop of compared to the P4. Realistically the odds are very much in the P4s favor in a 1v1 unless you are somehow shooting at each others rear armor. Thanks for the heads up. I was hoping stuff like this would come out in this thread Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2014, 17:08 PMNinjaWJ SO I guess KT and JGTiger beats all Murky because circle strafe. Obviously they can outslug anything though Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2014, 17:05 PMAerohank Yes, but it's silly to 'take micro into the equation' and only apply it to one party. A well micro-ed T70 can kill a KT that is not being micro-ed. But a well micro-ed T70 will not kill an KT that is even slightly micro-ed. Of course, just being technical In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Matchups Rules of Thumb9 Sep 2014, 17:01 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2014, 17:00 PMAerohank No. You could drive the king tiger back into a corner to make it impossible for the T70 to circle strafe you. The KT has so much health and armor that you can do this even on the largest of maps. technically speaking, moving your KT into a corner counts as microing it. In: COH2 Gameplay

Armor and penetration drop difference does make a significant difference here. Interesting. Can you elaborate? I thought I've noticed my T34s underperforming Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2014, 16:48 PMbraciszek CoH2 units dont work like chess pieces... Obviously but we can approximate In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Matchups Rules of Thumb9 Sep 2014, 16:46 PM Their ability to fight each other. If I bring 2 E8s to a fight (and nothing more) against a tiger, I can reasonably expect victory with proper mirco T34/76 I can expect to lose to a badly damaged P4 or destroy the P4 with terrible damage of its own Like comparing chess pieces. Bishop equals knight. Rook beats both. But B and K together beat rook In: COH2 Gameplay
