New factions are inevitable as long as this game is supported and highly desired outside this forum, but don't expect anything til July. That's when they released the game and WFA so they seem to be on a yearly time schedule for the big releases. |
Would be cool. Too bad it's even earlier than africa korps... They started to create early war factions in ToW, they should give them automatch and add few new factions. That way we could also get france, japan, italy, maybe even grece, early british forces, the fun could never end. But they have chosen to pick late war timing when most countries are already defeated or use anachronic equipment.
I would have really loved to have multiple era options in the game. Would have been terrible to balance though. |
If I am not mistaken, it is the only USF team weapon that has a six-man crew (opposed to the OKW, which has no six-man team weapons), which I believe is a paramount factor to its survivability on the field. Besides the fact that I heavily advocate the revamp of the entire teching system (pricing and initiation time) for COH2 as a whole, I think that a short-term fix could possibly be decreasing the build-cost of the USF Pack Howitzer (and potentially its reinforcement price if necessary), decreasing its crew size to four (or potentially five) men, and possibly tweaking the veterancy perks for the OKW Infantry Support Gun, so that they both scale well the entire duration of their usage as their intended role (an indirect support weapon). If anybody would like to agree/disagree, and elaborate to why, feel more than free. It has 6 men but needs at least 3 to function. Which means it effectively has 4 crew since if it drops below 3 it will automatically be decrewed. Reducing it's men would make it extremely vulnerable to even a single hit. It also provides no cover for the models. |
Hey, didn't have time to watch it. From the sound i sense here it wasn't worth it anyway:
So you say they really made 1 hours stream for 2 maps only!? No word about gameplay/balance changes, bugsfixes, overhaul of the (gardening) warspoils system or what else?
Dont get me wrong, I don't think these maps shouldn't get proper attention, but after such a period of nothing noticable from relic for this game, i expect more.
Hmm... maybe balance team is not existant anymore since pq left?
regards
ace Stream is tomorrow, it didn't happen yet. And they already said it's not about the patch, just that they will tell us when the next patch will be. |
apparently she's quite active on the offical forums
but you'd have to be an idiot to go there... seriously. the website's visual clusterfuck is enough to turn me off it forever
also: fuck having to enter my date of birth everytime i want to check a website!
You don't have to enter that you can just hit the forum button.

You know that the Tiger I saw combat in Africa?
Relic seems to have no problem with using the T34/76 as a stock unit, why shouldn't they use Panzer III & Crusader Tanks too?
I have no problem with pz3 and the like, but we already have a faction with tigers. |

I still really don't think people actually know how afrika corps would be implemented in game. How is a faction restricted to 1942 tech supposed to compete with the other factions, while still being functionaly different from whermacht? |
|
Stream tiomorrow. They will tell us when the patch is then. Can't link the Twitter though since I'm on the phone. |
It's the best area denial howitzer in the game.
That's not saying much. |
How do you rate its anti tank performance? Worth giving up B4? Terrible. If it gets a hit it does the same damage as a normal penetrating hit, but good luck getting multiple hits on any tank. It won't ever do to a tank what the B4 can. |
