Thread: German op abilities23 Mar 2014, 00:04 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2014, 23:51 PMsevenfour Arguing that a unit`s ability should be OP beacause the unit is not historically accurate may be the new low for this website (and that`s quite an achievement). The game is not really historically accurate or realistic in any other aspect either. I don`t see you arguing for making any other units/abilities OP because of it. 1) You are very fast with "new lows" then. You are a drama queen. I´ve seen worse stuff here. Well, for you I will write it down step by step then. First: I disagree that Blitz is op. Its price has already been increased and it doesn´t work on engine damage any longer. Plus it´s a vet ability. Second: The Su-85 has more range, so from a balance point of view it´s logical to give the other faction an ability that pushes the mobility. If there is more range on the Su-85, expect Blitz on the panzer IV. 2) I didn´t say the game was realistic. I said that german tanks have less range than a Su-85 thus need speed. In: COH2 Balance

I especially like how the documentary I watched on it was talking to a STUG commander and he was bitching about how the Elephants kept breaking down because they had to drive up a hill.... Cool, so shut up and deal with blitz. That was the point. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German op abilities22 Mar 2014, 23:06 PM If german tanks get their historical accurate superior range and frontal armor, blitz isn´t needed. So long, I´ll blitz as much as possible. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: angry people21 Mar 2014, 19:53 PM Keep in mind that the game is not only played by adults. I saw people wishing each other cancer over what was supposed to be a game. I refuse to believe those guys were adults. In: New Members
Thread: German Language in vCoh fun 16 Mar 2014, 11:56 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2014, 04:18 AMinfernoVenom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUt2e_6C5yo in 1.58 the german tank commander say something like Tigakupa akdum. Dude, it even stands in the subtitles on the left upper corner: "Tigergruppe, Achtung!" - "Tiger-group, attention!" like it was already stated. ^^ Also on a sidenote: There are parts of CoH where the German is bad. For example the Tiger ace skin in Tales of Valor had "Stahlvormund" printed on its camouflage (Steel custodian/ steel tutor). this word was also used in the video, which makes absolutely no sense in German. Probably because "Vor" means "forward" and "mund" means "mouth", yet the combination doesn´t describe ones teeth but someone with legal rights to educate his children. In the German version it was translated to the correct form "Eisenfresser" (Iron eater). In: Lobby
Thread: Blizzards don't add strategic depth14 Mar 2014, 14:30 PM Leave this man alone. You can necro a thread and people cry or you can create a new thread and someone tells you to use the search function. Either way, nobody is satisfied. ^^ Blizzards are a pain for every game. CoH is a fast paced game where you need to capture points and apply pressure to outcap your opponent. Every feature that interrupts this, contradicts the thought behind CoH and good gameplay imo. Thus, I have all Blizzard-maps vetoed. A map with continuous snowstorms would be the first one I´d lock. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: T4 and the Panther12 Mar 2014, 14:54 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2014, 12:19 PMKatitof Soviet 85mm was comparable to US 76.2mm on wolverine. Just to put it here. Actually the 85mm isn´t as glorious as some people here state. The German 75mm/L48 on Panzer IV/ StuG, 76mm gun of the Allies and the 85mm gun of the Soviets all had roughly the same armor penetration values. The difference lies in some millimeters. The T-34/85 should have similar values to a Panzer IV, which it has. Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2014, 12:19 PMKatitof I can't understand relics aversion to tanks that actually can fight tanks on soviet side cost effectively. 1) Actually the Su-85 does pretty well at it. 2) the Soviets didn´t have anything on par with Panthers. The T-34/85 lacked the frontal armor and gun, the IS-2 the accuracy, mobility and rate of fire. Other German afv like the StuG also performed way better than soviet counterparts. 3) Relics approach to balance this game is asymmetrical. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Knight Cross to beat Shock Troops! 11 Mar 2014, 23:45 PM KcH in Coh1 were a silly unit to begin with. There never was such a unit in reality. If you want to fight shock troopers, I recently used the new air superiority doctrine + flame halftrack effectively. With the ability to trade fuel for ammunition that shouldn´t be too costly.

Thread: T4 and the Panther6 Mar 2014, 16:17 PM How did this turn into a MG discussion? Anyhow: Strangely enough right now: Maxim > MG42 I prefer something that´s good in a small arc rather than borderline useless in a wide arc of fire. Oh, and Maxims don´t have to deal with Oorah and deploy so fast, they can almost be used like a basic infantry squad. In: COH2 Balance
