Thread: Pioneers vs Rear Echelon25 Jan 2022, 08:44 AM Yeah Rear Echelon carbine DPS is pretty bad. There's a lot of RNG with it though, unlike Pioneers which are quite consistent. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Native voices for COH2 in 202126 Dec 2021, 01:58 AM I remember it being possible on Coh2's launch, but then later due to anti-cheat changes, it was no longer possible. In: Lobby
Thread: People thought relic was going to close down 201813 Dec 2021, 07:59 AM I'm glad AOE4 sold a lot and that it's well-received but that doesn't necessarily mean it was successful. It's pretty clear the budget was enormous, even the marketing budget alone was clearly huge. So it's hard to say if it was a financial success or not because game budgets aren't public. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH3 Feedback by Jibber and GiaA12 Dec 2021, 09:23 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 09:00 AMTickTack I'd rather see auto-reinforce available wherever one can reinforce, and then merge becomes the combat version of reinforce. Maybe it should take twice as long to reinforce outside HQ. I think slower reinforcing speed from forward reinforce means such as halftracks or forward HQ's is a very nice solution that is intuitive, elegant and effective at minimising cheese.

Thread: CoH3 Feedback by Jibber and GiaA8 Dec 2021, 10:53 AM This is really good feedback. I agree with basically all of it except for the grenade scatter. Thanks for writing up all this insightful feedback. I like how grenades scatter, it means they are less ultra-precise mini squadwipe nukes to punish squads that are clumped. The Coh2 implementation of grenades encourages blobbing and punishes multitasking because if you look away for 2 seconds your squad might get instagibbed. Especially regarding Rifle grenades. Grenades in CoH3 seem to be much harder to get squad wipes with, with I appreciate. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Poll on new zoom out level in CoH3 alpha7 Dec 2021, 01:07 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2021, 10:37 AMElpern I agree with pornoke, choice is better than restriction. If you think it is too zoomed out, you can literally zoom in, you have the option to do so. If the max zoom is too close, then you have restricted the player to zoom out any further. The zoom level is fine, if anything further options should be given to players in the settings menu where they can decide to have their "default" zoom and angle, this way everyone gets happy. I don't think the choice argument works. Players are incentivized to zoom out because it gives them a gameplay advantage since they can see more and control more simultaneously. People aren't going to sacrifice their playability for improved visuals. But if the zoom is lower for everyone, then everyone can appreciate the better scale it can deliver, without anyone being punished for it. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Poll on new zoom out level in CoH3 alpha7 Dec 2021, 01:00 AM I'm not sure if it's the Zoom level that's the main problem, or if it's just the size of tanks being small. The power fantasy of controlling tanks is ruined when they look tiny compared to the massive buildings and environments. I think they need to scale up vehicles by 15% or so. But I also would like to see the zoom level reduced a bit as it will help. There's other oddities that look really bad, like how low to the ground planes look since you can zoom out above them. CoH2 planes have the illusion of being high up because the camera zoom level is stuck below them. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Upgunning the soviets - the IS-2 4 Dec 2021, 01:13 AM The IS-2 definitely seems weak compared to other Heavy Tanks and completely inferior to T-34/85's or the ISU. I think the main thing letting it down is its anti-infantry just doesn't cut out unless you get good RNG. Even a single T-34/85 seems to be better against infantry. I don't know why there's such a disparity between anti-infantry firepower for heavy tanks. At least the Pershing has good damage now, the Is-2 feels like the pre-buff Pershing but slower in exchange for more health/armor. It's not unusable, but I don't see any use case for the IS-2 over other stronger options. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thought on field Marshal and other aspect of the gameplay2 Dec 2021, 05:55 AM The thing that confused me at first, was when you pick one, the others stay up on there for the whole game with a message about "Requires Field Marshal not selected" or something. So the bad UI was what got me confused. I think it's a cool system though. In: COH3 Central
Thread: 105mm Sherman and Brummbar should be less durable1 Dec 2021, 13:51 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2021, 13:32 PMNorthWeapon Meta hasn't even been developed yet. I played like 6 pvp games and I still don't know all the units, build orders, counters. Chill... nobody here can pretend they know how to adjust the game or if the game even is unbalanced or improperly designed in the first place. Give it some time. Instead of suggesting changes This is a Coh2 thread. In: COH2 Balance
