Thread: Thanks for MP patch15 Nov 2013, 01:26 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2013, 01:20 AMsherlock You can do a lot as Germans but the 500 mp at start is still an odd decision. I advised against it since it doesn't encourage anything but spam (first for the Germans, for the lack of alternatives, then for the Soviets as a reaction to heavy gren strats). The effect they're trying to get with it (easier tier1) isn't achieved with it, since every Soviet player will resort to spamming cons when he realises that building tier 1 and some penals loses him the map control and furthermore they're more expensive then 2 grens (including tier 1 building) and will lose the engagement. In fact most on the forum where this changes was communicated were against it and still... It's an interesting idea but so far my experience matches my prediction. This would have been perfect to be tested in the beta branch. Why it was rushed into the normal game escapes me. It was in the beta. Most people who noticed where pretty upset it wasn't in the initial patch In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thanks for MP patch15 Nov 2013, 01:24 AM Well I'm enjoying it. I think it's pretty nice to have a more open early game. Most the complaints seem to be that it enhances the soviet industry problem. Which isn't really the patches fault but the commanders. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk about Irregulars15 Nov 2013, 01:14 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2013, 01:12 AMAerohank There are no p2w partisans, the doctrine is actually pretty well balanced. Surprisingly so, considering relics track record for premium commanders. I have not tried using the irregulars, they seem rather useless at 40hp and no health bonus upgrade. Also having them spawn with the russian LMG seems like a terrible waste of resources, as their DPS would just be that of a conscript squad. Can they at least cap? That would give them a small role at least, but not one worth the trade for guards or shocks. Yeah I forgot about that. They can indeed cap unlike the partisans. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Ace Explained14 Nov 2013, 23:17 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2013, 22:28 PMBrick Top I think the armour is exactly the same as a normal Tiger, so that all weapons will penetrate the same amount. It just has double HP. So ram and AT nades work like on any other tiger. It's not double hp but has -50% damage recieved, which mainly onlly means it takes just as long to repair as a normal tiger.

Thread: Tiger Ace Explained14 Nov 2013, 23:15 PM I think all it really needs is a very large pop cap at like 50 or something so it cant just be called out when the player has an already large amount of forces. In: COH2 Gameplay

To tell you the truth I don't know the exact stats and I don't have a link to the stats sheet. I mostly just tried them out to test what they could do. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk about Irregulars14 Nov 2013, 19:03 PM For anyone who doesn't know yet. Irregulars are featured in the soviet reserve army. They are NOT partisans and work a bit differently, though they are quite similar to their partisan brethren. 1. Cost the same as the at partisans at 250 mp and have the same model number. 2. They cannot be called in from buildings and come out from the spawn like other call ins. 3. They are always guaranteed to have either a soviet or german LMG. 4. They have a normal grenade and can throw at-nades if upgraded. 5. Cannot build mines or be upgraded like partisans. 6. Do not receive the effects of rapid conscription. 7. They can cap. All in all they seem rather underwhelming. They have better combat utility with their choice of grenades, but without the on field call in they lose a lot of use and are very fragile without the upgradable armor. The real kick in the pants for me is the lack of rapid conscription effect. There is little use for them within the doctrine if they don't recieve it and in my mind this needs to change.

Thread: Partisan Tactics commander14 Nov 2013, 17:48 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2013, 15:12 PMAerohank Normal partisans are 160mp(20mp reinforce) 4 man squads equipped with either: - 4x SVT rifles - 3x Kar98 rifle + 1x lmg42 - 4x ppsh41 They seem to have weaker stats than conscripts, as they die very fast. They do however have a 40 munitions upgrade that gives them a defensive buff, which appears to make slightly more survivable as conscripts. I don't have the numbers though so I could be wrong. Normal partisans can build mines and barbed wire, and can throw molotovs after HQ research. Vet 1 gives them trip wire flares. They can't cap points, but can decap them. Anti-tank partisans are 240mp(30 reinforce) 4 man squads equipped with either: 1: 1x panzerschreck + 3x rifles (not sure if mosin nagant or kar98) 2: 3x PTRS anti tank rifle + 1x normal rifle These AT partisans also seem to start out weaker than conscripts but can buff their survivalibility with a 60 munition upgrade. The AT partisans can throw AT nades after the HQ upgrade, and just like the normal partisans, can build mines, barbed wire and trip flares. They also can't cap points, only decap. By the way, I learned that Irregulars are not the same thing as partisans. Irregulars come from the TOW commander. They can't come out of buildings and are a normal call in, but they have a regular grenade and at-nade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Partisan Tactics commander14 Nov 2013, 17:46 PM I think partisans are perfect the way they are now. If you want sabatage they can still place mines. I had a team game last night where my teammate built a little partisan army behind my enemies line and built a big mine field. When the player tried to send troops up they hit the mines and got ambushed by the partisans. It was glorious! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger ace callin bugged?13 Nov 2013, 07:16 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Nov 2013, 06:41 AMakula If you read my post, I said resources should drop to zero for the duration of the tiger ace's lifespan, then drop to something like 50% for the rest of the game. Its game over now if you lose it which is a dumb mechanic. nerf the tank if required and get rid of this mechanic. nice soviet bias btw. Ahh the old bias accusation. Always nice to throw at people who disagree with you, right! Best way to win an argument is to attack their charecter rather then debate the actually argument. Good show old bean. It's designed to be an all or nothing ability. You are literally betting the game on it. It really powerful and effective if called in at the right time. If your changes where made there would be atleast some sort of initial charge added. I'd understand if you thought the current way it works was unfun or not good for gameplay and should be changed, but you are getting the best unit in the game for FREE. Losing if you aren't able to end the game with it seems likes fare trade off. In: COH2 Balance
