Thread: Big Balance Thread.2 Jul 2014, 13:26 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2014, 19:31 PMKyleAkira Not a nerf on Obersoldaten? really? I think Obersoldaten (nor any unit) should not be as effective long range as it is right now. Ok Ok... its expensive Ok Ok.. 50 mp to reinforce and long reinf time. But setting them into a green cover you need 3 squads to assault it, and by the time you reach the distance to launch a grenade, you had to retreat 2 squads because of damage received. Your summary may be: Allies: Nerf Nerf Nerf. Axis: Buff Buff Buff Are you serious? The expense and reinforce time for Obersoldaten notwithstanding, you are forced to get them mid game because of the second halftrack call-in time and the set up time thereafter. By the time Obersoldaten come out, you have vehicles and fairly large sized army to counter them and whatever OKW has. So much whine. As the OP on the Obersoldaten thread said: If you can get Obersoldaten out in 1v1 or 2v2 then you deserve to kill some rifles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Official Obersoldaten OP Thread1 Jul 2014, 14:48 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2014, 14:42 PMGustavGans Well I have now played many games with and against Obersoldaten and I think they are fine the way they are now. It's a 4-man, expensive, late game anti infantry unit with zero AT-capabilities. By the time they become available there's enough stuff on the field that can take care of them. This is exactly right. OS come out after 120 fuel investment AND the time it takes to wait for the second truck and to upgrade it. Even if OKW go straight for Obersoldaten, by the time they come out, the fuel and time investment guarantee that you'll have the opportunity to take a large portion of the map and have vehicles to counter the Obersoldaten -- which by the way have ZERO anti-tank ability, cost a fortune to buy and reinforce, and take forever to reinforce. Just reading this thread, it looks like a lot of Soviet players are just mad their shock troops can't run around and destroy all infantry anymore. One even suggested only shock troops should have armor... what a joke. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: War Spoils explained by Relic30 Jun 2014, 21:19 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2014, 18:32 PMNoun We don't want to talk about selling stuff right now. We understand that there are people, and I'm like this, who don't have as much time to invest in playing games as others and may want to get things quicker by spending a bit of money. We know this, but for now we're focused on the War Spoils system. I don't understand this at all. People are happy and willing to pay for skins, commanders, etc. Relic benefits from teh same. Instead, we're forced to grind like we're playing an MMO. Why not allow for random drops AND for purchasing the skins, commanders, faceplates etc? In: Lobby
Thread: Official Obersoldaten OP Thread27 Jun 2014, 18:37 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2014, 21:01 PMAchtAchter Jokes aside; you are not supposed to engage them with infantry, they are the hard counter to infantry. Against vehicles they are helpless and they only arrive at midgame. So I personally see no issue. If you loose a squad, especially with the upgrade you are in serious trouble. They are countered by M3 and M20 utility cars, if you don't have vehicles when they arrive or refuse to produce vehicles when they are on the field, it's your on fault. +1 The cost to reinforce and the time to do so are also a big big annoyance. Interesting that most of the people complaining are Soviet players, while the Soviets have Shocktroops. Ostheer had Panzergrenadiers which are not elite infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 14:14 PM There is NO reliable counter against this unless the Soviet team sucks at micro. Look at this thread which lists SEVERAL threads attempting to find a solution. Nobody could come up with any strategy that could be replicated without a lucky RNG roll in any of the threads: http://community.companyofheroes.com/forum/company-of-heroes-2/company-of-heroes-2-general-discussion/53185-2v2-replay-for-balance-purposes In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 17:51 PM Awesome Relic -- good job. Buff Soviet Armor (which was needed) and nerf Panthers in 4 different ways in the same patch. Constructively killed the Panther and now nerfing the Tiger so it can be countered by 2 T34s (less fuel than a Tiger and better at anti-infantry). Just brilliant. Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2014, 08:39 AMausterlitz I hear is-2 is getting buffed and tiger nerfed next patch..well..is-2 will probably be next isu. In: Lobby
Thread: Appreciation for AmiPolizeiFunk13 Jun 2014, 17:40 PM Just a short note to express gratitude to AmiPolizeiFunk. You and your colleagues/friends have spent a lot of personal time and effort into creating this community. It's the best CoH site and more importantly provides us with ladders When I was still learning the first CoH, I had a 1v1 automatch with you, lost and thereafter asked for advice. I expected some friendly comments in the chat box; however, you got me into teamspeak or some other program, talked me through a replay of the game and pointed out where to improve. Specifically, I remember you pointed out how to do sequential "Shift" commands -- that was invaluable. Just want to thank you for being that sort of person and devoting so much time to the community.

Thread: Panther overnerfed10 Jun 2014, 14:48 PM This obvious to any objective observer. You nerf the Panther over in three to four ways and then significnatly buff it's counters at the same time. What result do you expect? You don't have to be a NASA rocket scientist to know what the result is. Sometimes the Relic balance team is very frustrating. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 13:25 PM Any decent CoH1 player will tell you the King Tiger in its final form was absolute crap. Too slow to do anything against players who can micro. Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2014, 12:43 PMcoh2player I felt that way about the Terror doctrine KT from vcoh. Not that having a slow rolling bunker wasn't effective, but that type of gameplay is not my style. The Tiger I was a more balanced performer in vcoh and unlike the KT, it could keep up with stugs and so forth. In: Lobby
Thread: No balance... Mines, Snipers...6 Jun 2014, 13:22 PM Mines and snipers are a problem. Nobody can upload a replay showing them beating sniper spam in 2v2 against good soviet players. The bad news is Relic will likely not address this b/c they're busy on the expansion. The good news is nobody will be playing Soviets after the expansion except for mostly the die hard Soviet fanboys and they're not good enough in their micro to exploit all this imbalance In: COH2 Balance
