Thread: What is up with the pzkpfw V Panther ?23 Jan 2014, 13:42 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2014, 09:58 AMKatitof @Sedghammer You might want to include the cost of molotovs and AT nades that are always upgraded before soviet armor hits the field, unless you play industry. No one will go T1-T4 without these upgrades and its plain stupid to not include them as teching costs as you will be forced to get them before SU. I didn't include either because they depend on play style, for much the same reason I didn't include Ostheer light vehicles. (For example, AT grenades being skipped early if no light vehicles are seen. Molotovs are skipped when rushing T70's.) I was just trying to demonstrate the manpower difference if you're a Soviet encountering an Ostheer opponent that goes tier 4 instead of tier 3. That being said, with Molotovs and AT Grenade upgrades added to the above mention costs, the difference changes to 535 MP advantage for Soviets and a 20 Fuel advantage for Ostheer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with the pzkpfw V Panther ?23 Jan 2014, 08:54 AM Instead of hostile arguments, let's try and analyse this. If the Ostheer player goes tier 2 to tier 4 then into a Panther without expending fuel on units, his total costs for doing so (tech cost + cost of Panther) is 1480 MP, 275 Fuel. This assumes that the Ostheer player buys the Tier 2 building. If the Soviet player goes tier 1 into tier 4 then into an SU-85, his total costs for doing so, without expending fuel on other units (tech cost + cost of SU85) is 795 MP, 245 Fuel. This means the Ostheer player has expended 685 more MP and 30 more fuel over the Soviet to get his Panther out. A 700 manpower window for the Soviets is ample time to secure either fuel advantage or further their manpower advantage over the Ostheer. Given that the Soviet will generally have one or 2 snipers out from tier 1, the manpower advantage starts to widen even further. Think about that for a while. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Prima Official Strat Guide Review?7 Jan 2014, 00:29 AM Thanks for all of your replies. And thank you Inverse for the insight into the guide. I didn't think it was worth it, but despite having played the original and lots of COH2, i'm still frustrated with the lack of clarity when it comes to game mechanics, unit abilities and unit stats. That I might actually have to buy a guide to get this information is off putting, as most strategy games contain this information in the GUI or unit indexes within the game. Despite this, if there really is no other way then i'd pick up the guide. Maybe it's time for a similar all-inclusive community guide? Something akin to an up-to-date COH2 Wiki. I would help put something like that together. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Prima Official Strat Guide Review?6 Jan 2014, 20:08 PM Has anyone bought this Prima e-guide that can comment on the quality of the information given? I see that there are several interviews with the game makers and multiplayer strategies, but I'm wondering if it would be worth it at this price for a person who has played 600 hours of the game already. The unit tables and multiplayer strategy and tactics discussion are the sections of primary interest for me. Given that there is no real manual and a lack of in-game information and quality guides about the game mechanics, it seems like it could be worthwhile. http://www.primagames.com/games/company-heroes-2/primaguides/637 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sniper Flare too expensive?1 Jan 2014, 08:54 AM I agree, 40 or 30 munitions would be more suitable. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Wm Sniper camo bug, or balance thing?18 Dec 2013, 05:51 AM The bug with the german sniper is as follows - If you move your sniper into cover and he is camouflaged, then he will not automatically engage targets in range. You have to manually tell him to attack (this is not with hold fire on, mind you). Hopefully this is fixed soon, as the german sniper isn't even an option this patch. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: ATG Ambush Tactics (Commander Unlock)18 Dec 2013, 05:38 AM It needs to receive a chance to shock the crew when it comes out of camo. This would punish players that are reckless with their armor. The Pak could also receive this chance when it hits vet 3 and receives its camo vet bonus. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Target Weak Point ability on Pak changed/nerfed17 Dec 2013, 04:36 AM Yeah, this bug is really annoying. This, along with the sniper camo bug and numerous performance issues and crashes has made me rage on more than one occasion. In: COH2 Gameplay
