Thread: Patch notes for 23rd June18 Jun 2015, 12:51 PM What about the Panzerwerfer and 105mm? I thought this patch I could at least field artillery as Ostheer. Instead they buffed the Stuka zu Fuß? "More viable strategies" my ass. In: Lobby
Thread: Patch notes for 23rd June18 Jun 2015, 12:39 PM They reverted some of the leaked StuG buffs though. A tank destroyer at 50 range is still shit. In: Lobby
Thread: Guard Motor Solution?15 Jun 2015, 09:45 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jun 2015, 07:29 AMKatitof Which does not translate to "my squads should never die, even if a god damn B4 shell drops on their heads" which many players confuse it with. That´s why I wrote about the "2CP" mark on which the 120mm mortar appears. Getting a squad wiped around the 7-10 minute mark causes significantly more trouble than in the lategame, where unvetted infantry is thrown away to get VPs. In: Lobby
Thread: Guard Motor Solution?15 Jun 2015, 01:15 AM Soviets have never been stronger than in this patch. Still funny to see the forum clown claim that "all Allied players have left the game". Regular squad wipes on a 2 CP mortar are definitely not the thing to make Coh a competitive game. Because last time I checked this game was about unit preservation. In: Lobby
Thread: Some thinking and respect13 Jun 2015, 18:56 PM One of my all time favorite series. As a German I can say I´m grateful that we were freed by the Western Allies. Though the heroic depiction of war events seems a bit irritating. That´s a feature of American movies but especially combat with airborne troops was dirty. My grandfather didn´t like them as he saw the bodies of a fellow German Flak crew lined up in a row in Normandy. Obviously retaliation for pointing the Flak at airborne troops. Often airborne couldn´t take prisoners because they operated behind enemy lines. The result was that there were instances where airborne troops themselves weren´t taken prisoner. I think the show only slightly touched the brutality of this combat in Normandy on both sides with that scene were Spears shoots the Germans. It´s dangerous to depict war as something heroic that brings out the best in people, because it´s actually the opposite. Those guys were heroes, and I´m still grateful. It´s just the depiction of war that´s irritates. In: Lobby
Thread: T-34 needs a buff13 Jun 2015, 15:35 PM I don´t see a problem making it as cheap as a StuG. 230mp 80 fuel so it can be spammed. It should be an expandable tank, which you can lose. Mirroring it with the P4 is boring. I want to see T-34 swarms rather than a single one fighting it out with Axis tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to farm War Spoils13 Jun 2015, 12:41 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2015, 11:11 AMDonnieChan just a hint: war spoils don't make you a better player. Getting the Tiger Ace or StuG E commander actually make you a better player. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is it just me or are the Allies too spam heavy lately...12 Jun 2015, 21:46 PM It´s no secret that Soviet are pretty easy these days. Conscript spam into call ins is what this game is about. It´s damn relaxing and damn effective. Damage reduction squad is incoming though. Mark my words. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What are the "Lessons Learned" from CoH 2?12 Jun 2015, 12:50 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jun 2015, 12:07 PMTrubbbel I think blizzards are great. They ~~add~~ take away several tactical implications making the game ~~deeper in a good way~~ boring. Fixed. They are dull and slow down the flow of the game. Usually the two parties wait that the blizzard is gone to attack again. In: Lobby
Thread: What are the "Lessons Learned" from CoH 2?12 Jun 2015, 10:40 AM What I´ve learned from Coh2: A) Blobbing is king - MGs that can suppress multiple Squads that can run into their arc of fire are overpowered and immediately nerfed. - Blobs that run into the MGs arc of fire are balanced. B) If a unit is currently slightly over-performing, expect it to be over-nerfed in the next patch aa) Relic has a tendency to not only nerf the over-performing unit but also buff the over-performing units counters. Just remember the time the Panther was useless? Or how fragile the KT is now? Added to that the M36 penetration went up making everything even worse. bb) Or the unit is nerfed in one patch. Then out of the sudden the following patch another nerf appears out of the blue that has never been asked for. Stacking with the previous nerf and kicking the unit effectively out of the game. Examples: Panzerwerfer, Pak43. Maxim or SU-85 don´t even matter any longer? Etc. Jump back to quoted post12 Jun 2015, 02:18 AMThoseDeafMutes Blizzards are shit and I hate them And that. In: Lobby
