Thread: Cons improved against grens after patch? 19 Sep 2013, 04:49 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2013, 23:38 PMBlovski Um, the DPS is identical, so there's no serious change. Arguably, the minimum amount of time it takes a gren to kill a conscript model if it gets really lucky has increased but your average engagement should be identical. @GTTV, since two patches back the riflenade doesn't offer an audio warning until it's basically hit, so the riflenade is harder to dodge in general right now. The molotov also does not offer an audio warning until it is too late. DPS may calculate to be the same on paper but considering the many other factors in an engagement and the RND factor DPS is not a hard and fast rule. The way these units now operate has been changed and they are noticeably worse in games, as others in this thread are finding. WHY that is cannot exactly be explained but it has definitely occurred. It is definitely easier for cons to dodge riflenades than it is for gren to dodge molotovs. Especially considering the retarded AI - where grens jump into the fire even when telling them to move away. More importantly a molotov forces the units to move and stay out of cover whereas the riflenade can be dodged with units moving safely back to cover. Right now the isolated Con V Gren situation is in the Cons favor. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: What if ???18 Sep 2013, 00:27 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2013, 00:05 AMBartonPL Expansion for CoH2 to add new armies? yea you wish, what factions Axis would gain? Japs people would say, but did they fought on Eastern front? nope, Maybe Italians? sure thing but who would play with them when they were like 10 times worse equipped than red army or Ostheer? And most important question is, what faction would be added for soviets? maybe second Red army faction? yea i just dont see it. The only expansions CoH2 can provide are expanded capmaign, like they are now working on 1942 ToW so probably all this stuff will go thru to 1945. CoH3 action i see on Pacific (Japs vs Mericans only and if they'd start thinking about CoH3 in next 10 years) Why do they need to add a new 'soviet' faction? The Soviets fought for the allies. That includes America and the Commonwealth (like from CoH1) Also as stated in this thread there were a few battle where Japan fought Russia. But the game certainly doesn't have to be 100% historically accurate. Hell, they aren't with the units so why do they have to be with battles? At the moment in custom games you can even go German Vs German or Soviet Vs Soviet (which makes no sense). In: Lobby
Thread: What if ???18 Sep 2013, 00:02 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2013, 21:51 PMKingAnj Why can't we have Japan & Americans?! HUH?! i've been begging for Japan since COH1 launch. There were also other axis countries in WW2? why no love for Italy? They would fit PERFECTLY in COH2's time frame. However, Japan "Only" fought USA, and not Russians nor Brits; and Italy "ONLY" fought brits and not Russians and minimal USA. So i can understand having JAPAN vs RUSSIANS in COH2 in SEMOSIKY WINTER would make ZERO sense. ANNNDDD you can make the arguement that Japan & Italy mainly used/had Naval ships and not the amount of 'ground troops' the factions protrayed in all COHs. Allies get, over the two games: USA, Brit, Now russians; Axis only got germans, germans and MORE germans! Couldn't agree more with this post. All expansions for CoH1 only saw more German factions. Let's bring in Japan and Italy! Japan still had lots of infantry which can be used in this game with some cool mechanics. Imagine Banzai troops/ability. Sit in cover until the enemy gets close, use 'Banzai' and run up to the squat and melee them with bayonets. Instant kills but unit are vunerable to other firing units when using the ability. Also kamikaze aircraft call in. They could do a lot with a Japanese faction. Not sure about anything unique with Italy though. In: Lobby
Thread: Cons improved against grens after patch? 17 Sep 2013, 23:27 PM Grenadiers had their damage nerfed, their accuracy slightly buffed and their rate of fire slightly buffed. This could be what you are experiencing. I've noticed Grens performance vs cons to be worse off than they were before as a result of these changes (especially if the opponent is using con bulletins). Its also a lot easier for cons to use molotovs vs Grens rifle grenade. So the Gren vs con engagement is pretty annoying right now. The problem is you have to move to dodge the molotov, but as soon as you move you've lost the engagement due to lost accuracy and losing cover. Whereas for cons it's very easy to avoid rifle grenades (just stay close). Whether this is a serious balance issue remains to be seen, because there are a lot more factors impacting balance than just these two units' engagement. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: SU-85; The Thread29 Aug 2013, 03:19 AM Just like to put my name down here for a vote to nerf the SU85s. It is way too effective for its cost. Soviet players barely need resources at the beginning to rush them. They can even take out Panthers which cost way more and come way later. The only hard counter to SU85s is an elefant. Probably the biggest issue with this is the effect on gameplay. Games should be more dynamic than SU85s appearing every single game. Likewise the only reason P4s show up nearly every single game is because they are the cheapest light counter to SUs. The issue just compounds itself. Every high level game without fail there is SU85 spam. Usually coupled with sniper spam - the two most OP units on Soviet side. These units should not be this stupidly OP that spamming them both results in one of the hardest things to beat in this game. You should be punished hard (in terms of gameplay) for spamming units. The 50% speed decrease when not focused is not enough. Even a cost increase would be suitable or a reload speed decrease. In: COH2 Balance
