Thread: 17th Sept Patch impressions - post here18 Sep 2015, 04:34 AM Been playing around with USF. The Sherman pen buff is awesome. I had a gang of 4 stock Shermans get behind the ass of a King Tiger and blow it away quickly. The mine doing what it's supposed to for INF company now is awesome. BIG BOOM. I had enemy try to put 3 squads behind a sandbag where I placed the mine, and the explosion was nuclear. Which is kind of crazy considering it's only 30 munitions. Bar + vet gives Riflemen a solid late game now. The faction no longer feels super gimped. They feel like how they were designed to be played. Fast, tenacious, aggressive, and adaptable to any situation. Haven't tried tweaked Brits yet. In: Lobby

Thread: Is the AVRE OP or do I just think it's OP because...10 Sep 2015, 06:32 AM ...allies have awful late game units? Serious question. I just played a 2v2 versus a well-known CoH1 player and beat him, and it was mostly thanks to the AVRE. The thing is just so damn survivable. He had 3 Paks all firing at it, and I still had time to roll up, blow one away, and reverse back into safety with most of my HP. Sturm is a bitch to play against, but for some reason I don't see him nearly as much, and he feels more fragile. What is the answer to AVRE? Snares (faust)? Because it seems like no amount of coordinated AT can kill it or scare it away until after it has delivered its doomsday mortar. I concede it could just be the fact that I've been a USF player since they were released, and the idea of having a sturdy late game unit is completely foreign to me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are the Brits actually OP?10 Sep 2015, 06:12 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Sep 2015, 01:51 AMLatch As mentioned above some parts are but some parts are not: T0: Tommies - Great in cover, useless out of it, thus making attacking risky/difficult, far too expensive to reinforce. Universal Carrier - Weak to small arms, faust takes 60% health off it and it can't be repaired until vet 1 or you tech up to unlock engies. Wasp is OP, the bren upgrade is meh, not tried it fully. Vickers MG - Great MG, high damage, insane range but not great at pinning. T1: Engies - A fair unit, nothing OP or UP really Sniper - The worst sniper in the game due to its cloak time and aim time, the anti vehicle ability is great and well balanced with the current cloak delay but it needs sorting out to make counter-sniping fun. AT gun - A fair unit, nothing OP or UP really (forgot the name, AEC? The light tank) - Pretty crappy to be honest, a weak Puma in all honesty. T2: Centaur - OP, it wipes a little too fast to be honest especially on retreat, a lot better than the Ostwind, far far superior in fact. Cromwell - A fair unit, nothing OP or UP really Firefly - A fair unit, nothing OP or UP really the cost for the tulips are VERY expensive. Churchil - Great HP, Poor to average damage, fairly easy to kill as most shots will pen Comet - Don't use it but it feels fragile when I tried it Emplacements: BOFORS - OP as Fook Mortar - Just meh AT - Fine Callins: Alligator - OP as Fook AVRE - If the sturm is fine, the AVRE is fine Commandos - Op up close, UP at any range but touching, squishy as anything So as you can see its OP in some parts but UP in others, once fixed though it will be a great faction to play. The brace nerfs will stop people building emplacements though, brace is needed, without it they die far too fast. Sums up my thoughts well. Comet IS fragile and people won't build emplacements if Brace is nerfed too hard. Emplacements are a huge investment. If you build one and it's wiped before it does much of anything, it's a big sinkhole of money. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Vehicle Snares7 Sep 2015, 07:51 AM The sniper crit shot is a snare, no? Also the Boys AT Infantry Section (from premium commander) has a nade which snares. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tactical Support Regiment artillery cover7 Sep 2015, 07:49 AM The scavenge engies and fortified outpost upgrade are both a little meh IMO. Like someone said, the outpost upgrade is kinda bad on big maps because the radius only goes so far. The strafing run is pretty good, but all the other abilities on the building are pretty meh and you are better off using the muni for the arty cover or to call in weapons. The idea of calling in weapons for muni only is good and allows you a lot of options since you are freeing up so much manpower. You can't really rely on the ability in lieu of building an MG or AT gun, though, because I believe it's a 4CP ability. You will be dealing with tanks and blobs well before then. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Need for Speed: Comet7 Sep 2015, 07:43 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2015, 07:40 AMMr. Someguy It's more, it has higher penetration than the P4 and can solo P4's on equal footing. The flank isn't even needed! Sure about that? Video? It feels really, really fragile. Everything seems to penetrate it. Catch it out of position with 2 schrecks and a pak, and it's probably not escaping alive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Need for Speed: Comet7 Sep 2015, 07:35 AM It's supposed to be fast. That's its selling point. I watched a documentary on youtube about the Cromwell last night. It had a 40MPH top speed thanks to a special engine. Brits used to have slow-ass tanks and realized they needed speed to maneuver better. Brits had to flank most German tanks to hit them from the rear with the Cromwell. They didn't get a good head to head tank until the Comet, and by then the war was pretty much over. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF so worthless7 Sep 2015, 07:21 AM I was looking forward to the 0CP Field Defenses and all-around mine being given to Riflemen. However, Field Defenses is bugged. You can plant mines at 0CP but can't put down sandbags or fighting positions until 3CP. Also, the mine is 40 munitions but it's STILL THE OLD 5 MUNI MINE . Anyway, USF aren't terrible, but at least in team games, Brits are so much easier to manage. Because by the late game, you have some true heavy weapons and damage sponges if you want to go on the offensive. Americans, with their paper tanks (Sherman is getting a buff, right? Or was that reverted?), can't assault in the late game. Not without a line of 2-3 AT guns, which can all get blown up in one Walking Stuka volley. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: the centaur 5 Sep 2015, 06:48 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2015, 02:16 AMStonethecrow01 It's a pretty late game tank so if you have 2 paks or a pak and tank that's more than enough to kill it quickly. However, it does kill the hell out of infantry. It's about 10x as good at its job as an Ostwind. +1 for the Korean Zombie av. In: COH2 Balance
