Thread: May 17th Update17 May 2016, 21:34 PM Valkyria chronicles was a pretty awesome game, and those skins are pretty sweet. Not exactly something i was expecting to happen though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tiger Tank17 May 2016, 07:13 AM Jump back to quoted post17 May 2016, 00:03 AMZeroCrack01 Typical l2p issue. The reputation of The Tiger is so good, propaganda did a good job xD I often saw many players going for a single Tiger as their last trump card. Me: "Were is your at?" Tigerfan: "I am saving for a tiger / Tiger soon". Tiger spawn, Tiger dead after 2 Min for obvious reasons. Game Over. For rational reasons i overcame the tiger bias in my mindset and prefer always the panther (it kills tanks far better). If you dont have a proper army around the panther/tiger (pak40s, p.schreck) then you lost the game because of other reasons, no need to go the forum for a single unit. Yeah people think tigers should be good no matter the situation. Tigers do best when your opponents don't have a lot of AT or when they overinvest in things like bazookas and medium tanks. But most allied players don't do that because any decent allied player is used to their opponents going for tigers 90% of the time. Preparing for tigers is pretty much the first thing you have to learn when getting used to allied factions and once you reach mid level play tigers start to lose their effect as most opponents expect it. That's why the most effective strats are ones that take advantage of players expecting heavy armor, by instead using stuff like, stugs, P4s, and pumas. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Forward Observation Post16 May 2016, 15:58 PM Ah yes forward observation point. Because who doesn't want to pay a bunch of manpower and fuel to use full priced call-ins within a limited area. Seriously though, the call-ins should be heavily discounted. In: Lobby
Thread: Tiger without claws?11 May 2016, 01:31 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2016, 00:45 AMPanzerGeneralForever Pershing can flank the tiger very easily and get away if need be. Tiger can't run and can't flank. Too slow. The game doesn't take place in a vacuum and it's not always likely a pershing will be able to flank uncontested. And even in a vacuum a tiger that's backing up and turning can keep up with a pershing, it's not slow, but it ain't a panther. Pershing usually needs to take advantage of the tiger getting snared or being distracted to really flank it. Tiger wins head-on in any 1-on-1 engagement between good players. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofors8 May 2016, 02:37 AM Jump back to quoted post8 May 2016, 02:05 AMAlphrum @johnk419, stop talking out of your rear, bofors pens both p4 and panthers frontal Armour and from my experience, emplacements is far worse then OKW buildings, ISG's and motors. The only issue with these emplacements is on small maps or in team games where they just get spammed. Just tested it. P4 does get penetrated but slowly. The P4 still wins every time with a little over half health. Panther on the other hand is almost completely invulnerable and the bofors could only take off a sliver of health before dying. The flak HQ however was able to kill the t-34, sherman, and cromwells about 50% of the time give or take, so the OKW buildings are superior when it comes to AT. In AI too given it has further range, pinning, and a ton more health. so the only advantage the bofors has over the flak HQ is it's barrage and brace abilities. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic: Week 1 Update to the Balance Mod5 May 2016, 22:08 PM But the manpower reduction to the T34 was the most necessary part of the buff. Without it the soviets can't actually build it easier then any other tank. The low fuel cost means nothing otherwise. In: Lobby
Thread: (preview mod) m8a1 scott5 May 2016, 07:02 AM i think it's fine. I haven't seen it take out more then 3 guys at once unless they were low on health. And it's terrible at hitting moving targets. This thing should be on par with katys, and wherfers. It's already a ton more micro-intensive and vulnerable thanks to how it needs to consistently be close to the front. I can't see the damage/aoe going down unless it's range is increased a bit to make it fire more consistently with less risk because it's all it's pears are far less risky and can wipe entire armies.

Thread: Should USF get one more unit that can use thompsons?5 May 2016, 04:05 AM The only new thompsons unit i want to see is cavalry rifles from the campaign to replace the mechanized M3. In: Lobby
Thread: Bofors3 May 2016, 16:00 PM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2016, 11:04 AMDomine That is a counter to OKW Flak HQ, but not to the bofors. The bofors will immediately shoot back, and both Pak as well as Raketen are within the Bofors range. The Bofors needs to be changed but it's not like it's hard to balance. Wait i'm not sure about rocketen, but pak definitely outranges the bofors. Only the barrage can reach it, but you can hear that coming, move, then continue your attack. Flaq HQ also has a lot more health and takes quite a few shots to take out. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Armor Company is Highly Overrated3 May 2016, 07:45 AM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2016, 07:07 AMCookiezNcreem yes m10s are op crushers but theyre main opness is being fuel coupons.... when you've had a cutoff fest of a game, theyre invaluable. Which is why they would be just fine without the infantry crushing capabilities. Jump back to quoted post3 May 2016, 07:07 AMCookiezNcreem +youre underestimating vehicle crew thompson + ass engy tactical control group on the right map. Dont use them on langres, dont use them to charge up. ambush and watch them shred. otherwise you're setting them up to fail. Don't act like that's the intended design of them. Relic intended them to be used inside vehicles, popping out when in danger to destroy an AT gun or fausting infantry. This idea being terribly niche and more likely to end up with your tanks being driven away by the enemy then to help you in any way. The situation you proposed is just players trying to make light of a shitty ability. You are almost always better off just investing in bars, and it would be far less redundant if literally any other unit had the upgrade instead of the vehicle crews. Jump back to quoted post3 May 2016, 07:07 AMCookiezNcreem The arty offmap is tied with mech arty for being the best usf has, except its more situational so i guess the edge goes to mech arty. It's not a bad ability, which is why I didn't propose changes, but please don't compare it to mech arty. I go mech just to get that arty so I can counter pak40s and OKW bases. 280mm is an ability I use just because I have some extra muni lying around Jump back to quoted post3 May 2016, 07:07 AMCookiezNcreem well I agree I guess, even though you dont see sturmpios charging up to just about anybody past the early game and doing anything productive either, unless properly positioned and supported. Thats just a grass is greneer on the other side mentality. they reinforce for the same cost and AE's cost less than sturmpios. I think the big defference between sturms and assault engis is that sturms don't have to get AS close. With sturms you can easily run up into medium range into some cover and still do good DPS. While ass engis barely do any damage if you aren't right up in your enemies faces. So sturms end up not having to take as much risk if they don't want to. Not to mention axis generally have more units that are better at long range, making retreating from close range generally more risky for the ass engis. In: COH2 Balance
