OH/OKW tanks are for sissies It wasn't just one. It was an at gun and two shrekked Volks squads in one engagement. The dps for kv8/Churchill is just insane. I get they're supposed to be AI units, but it kills them too fast. Axis AI units are much better balanced. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What was the point of introducing DOT flame damage?5 Oct 2015, 05:16 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 05:10 AMEtherealDragon According to Relic's posts Flamethrowers and Fire were always intended to be cover denial weapons but it took them 2 years to realize that they were being used more as AI so they tweaked them with DoT. They also seem to want to promote them as hard counters to garrisons (which is a welcome change for me because players whose entire skill repertoire was "put teh HMG in deh building and win" are the worst.) Didn't Molotov's do a good job at countering that though? With flame tanks they kill mgs so fast you don't even have time to get them or out of the building. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What was the point of introducing DOT flame damage?5 Oct 2015, 04:27 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 02:34 AMAchtAchter Ok, I'll explain it to you. Relic has a balance wheel of fortune, after every patch they rotate it to determine which units/weapons/factions they want to overbuff and overnerf with the next patch. Flamers got selected now several times in a row, that's why they are so strong on every unit. Lol, the balance was so good a few months ago. That's actually why I starting playing again. Relive my glorious coh1 days. But damn does it seem a few units are way unbalanced. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Countering early USF AAHT 5 Oct 2015, 04:15 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 02:39 AMHon3ynuts You only need 1 pak, 2 scout cars can beat 1 AA HT if it is on the move and those scout cars will be uncountered if you do indeed kill the HT. Early Teller mines can totally wreck a USF Player if you spend your first 50 munis on 1 and kill his vehicle. usually though the AA HT comes at 7 minutes so if they are hitting you at 6 the USF player got a serious map control advantage. Usually as Ostheeer you want to get about 4 squads out + your pios, tech to pak then get another t1 unit or pgs as an initial build. Or you can go scout car first and get the pak later, just don't lose your scout car to the AA HT. Yea, I like the idea of two scout cars. Like you said, after the ht goes down the usf is almost forced to go t3. In the game I was referring to I had about 60% map control. I was just amazed how fast it came out. He locked down his fuel choke point and held his fuel while I was capping the other side. I had to watch the replay in order to believe he could get it out so fast. I forgot the map name, maybe la graze (spelling) breakout. After 300 hours I still struggle with Coh2 map names lol. Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 02:51 AMDick Cockstone, Ph.D @OP: Yes, 2 to counter and 1 to push it back, which will be back with higher vet anyway. Lol, I'm not building 3 paks in a 1v1 to counter a T2 unit. In fact I don't think I've ever built three paks in a 1v1. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Countering early USF AAHT 5 Oct 2015, 02:28 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 02:16 AMDick Cockstone, Ph.D If you suffered early MP bleed and couldn't field 2 Paks and surprise it, that meant you already lost and there wasn't much you could do. They are the easiest faction in 1vs1 for a reason. coh2chart.com So you're saying I need 2 paks to counter it? Seems excessive and a lot of popcap invested to counter it. Maybe no choice though.

Thread: Countering early USF AAHT 5 Oct 2015, 02:11 AM I just played a game against USF that saw a 6 minute anti-aircraft HT. Then I saw it again in another game soon following. All USF did was build a fuel OP on the choke point and cap their fuel. As OST, obviously the pak is the obvious counter but it's very slow. The AAHT shreds and pins inf very fast so shreks don't seem like a good choice. I usually concentrate so hard on killing the damn AAHT that my micro suffers elsewhere and it's really hard for me to comeback after giving up big portions of the map. How does everyone else handle this? In: Ostheer Strategies

I remember the KV8 destroying before DOT damage. Now with DOT damage it can take down OKW trucks in almost 10 secs. Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 01:58 AMBeefSurge To enable area denial tactics and further enrich the battle sphere. I like the denial tactics with inf vs buildings and crew-able weapons. When heavy tanks have them it seems a little OP vs inf. It melts them lol. Maybe it's just me that thinks this though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What was the point of introducing DOT flame damage?5 Oct 2015, 01:55 AM Please help me understand why DOT damage was implemented. Were flame units under performing before? It seems like any unit/ability that deals DOT damage outperforms its cost. How does everyone else feel about the changes to flame damage? In: COH2 Gameplay

I rolled out a KV8. My god. The game was over in 2 minutes. It just mauled any soft anti-tank within seconds. It's not even fair lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
