General Information

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: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 06:56 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 06:48 AMbraciszek Those Ost and Soviet players doing exactly that sure must be wrong, then! No, different faction design. Although I am envisioning 1v1 and 2v2. In any case, USA thrives on attacking. Stopping your tech and defending doesn't seem like the best route. OKW players don't delay for the KT or JT now do they? You'll have a massive window where you need Jacksons to fight his panthers and you have no Jacksons In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 06:46 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 06:41 AMbraciszek From experience, it would be abused into teching into tier 1 or 2 (or both) into Pershing. Performance of callins vastly beat that of stock units, so its better to ignore the tank tiers and skip straight into the callin. The Pershing, probably being one of the only tough USF tanks (i can only think of a possible only 3), will suffer the same fate. Variety is but an excuse. Wrong. The m26 would come pretty late. Delaying for m26 will get you rolled before 10 CP In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 06:45 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 06:41 AMMr. Someguy "We can have a weak commander to make it balanced" suggests commander with 5 extremely powerful abilities Are you serious? You could discuss it instead of just bitching your opinion. I wouldn't call it extremely powerful though. 76mm shermans go down to panthers and you won't be able to field 76mm and weapon upgrades. The jumbo could be penned by the rakten, panther, ect. American tanks still suck even if they're good remember. Only the m26 would be that effective. Bump the CP on the jumbo then or get rid of the Jumbo and throw in ass engineers or something In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 06:40 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 06:33 AMvarunax Would be nice if future commanders added a Pershing tank. I don't get why people wouldn't want it in for more variety and play style choices. This is exactly my point. We could easily have a USF commander that is weak besides the m26, to keep the game balanced. "Heavy Assault Company" (CP values are relative and made up on the spot) 2 CP: withdraw and refit ability 3 CP: all vehicle crews and vehicles spawn with vet 9 CP: M4A3E2 Jumbo Sherman 75mm 10 CP: 76mm Shermans-upgrade individual Shermans to 76mm for 120 ammo each (not the jumbo) 12 CP: M26 It wouldn't be good in 1v1 but it would give the USF a chance in 4v4 if the game lasts to the late game (which is typical of 4v4 games) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Flak emplacement anti-air damage25 Jul 2014, 06:30 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 06:28 AMvietnamabc Anything can shoot down Soviet fuel plane, even a 222 SC can do it. But the P-47 seems to be impervious to AAA in the first pass, no matter how much AAA it will always get off 1 salvo first and to a lesser extent IL-2. afaik this is historical. P47 was a flying tank and fast. IL2 was slower but similar In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 06:14 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 04:01 AMwooof for one, that was a relic dev who said it wasnt going to happen. relic did design the faction I don't see a Relic dev in this thread and I don't see anything definitive. Relic said they weren't really planning on having the m26 in the game. But that doesn't mean they can't change their mind Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 05:53 AMreefermadness USF isn't going to get a heavy tank. Duffy's interview said nothing about having a heavy tank in the future (or not having a heavy tank in the future). AFAWK the door is open, especially given their willingness to experiment. It's silly to have a faction without a single heavy tank, even if it is the jumbo. Imagine a faction without artillery or elite infantry. USF only have 1 call in doctrinal elite infantry, but they do have it. Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 05:59 AMcoh2player why not...SUPER PERSHING! I'm not sure a unit that was used only once fits well into this game. That said, the Sturmtiger is close In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 03:54 AM I think it's silly that the USF doesn't have one commander that is heavy armor just because it's "against their faction design" For one, that is an opinionated statement since you didn't design the faction. In my opinion, if the commander is done properly, it doesn't go against the faction. For two, it's absurd even if that were true because there's Soviet and OKH commanders that go against faction design and you could argue some OKW ones too 4 tanks come to mind The pershing is the most obvious followed by the jumbo 75. Jumbo 75 is like a KV1 Jumbo 76 is a "pershinglite". It was really rare but real and it's in MoW AS 2, which is more realistic than CoH 2. Jumbo76 is superior to the Tiger in that game, but inferior to the panther. The m26 should be equal to the panther and slightly superior than the tiger, on paper (sloped armor vs flat, yet similar gun). The m18 hellcat is the final addition but it might be redundant. It's a faster/weaker m10 but only barely on both In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: American theatre of war25 Jul 2014, 02:32 AM I'm guessing no because ToW wasn't so popular (AFAIK) but I really am not sure In: Scrap Yard
Thread: M26 Pershing25 Jul 2014, 00:51 AM It shouldn't be a priority for Relic over balancing. But I don't see the harm of having a heavy armor commander for the USA. Maybe 76mm shermans upgrades, easy eights, and finally m26s. M18 hellcat could be added somewhere too. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Slower COH like RTS24 Jul 2014, 23:45 PM While I may still be young and have my wits about me, marijuana is taking a toll on my clicking speed In all seriousness, I've had a thirst for more strategic games for awhile. HoI 2 filled that a long time ago but it had it's limits and I can stomp the AI now. HoI 3 is too deep and too micromanagement oriented, even if the AI control helps a lot. It feels like a great concept but poor execution. What are some slower paced RTS games? I don't need HoI 3 grand strategy but I do enjoy them. I'm trying to learn Supreme Ruler 1936 but it's hard. I've always been a fan of RTS but I feel like I'm slowly getting choked out by micro as games get faster. But with all the indie blowback lately, surely there are some good ole armchair generaling games to be played! On HoI 2, I miss being about to set everything up and run it for a week or so of not having to do anything (in game time of course) and generally not having to click much. I miss that slower paced where I'm focused on the future and a vision, vs analyzing a bunch of in game data for a tactical maneuver. My micro sucks because it's just not enjoyable for me to micro. I like armchair generaling. That said, can anyone throw me some titles? MoW AS 2 is awesome and the ability to inflict mass casualties on gimmicky maneuvers makes for a great blend of macro and micro. I like to try to play as realistic as possible within certain limits (some milsims are too much man). In: Other Games
