General Information


Thread: What should Relic do to increase allies-players?25 Aug 2014, 13:51 PM This game has been build with 1v1 in mind. 2v2 it's the most balanced mode from team modes but even there I wouldn't expect it to be 100% as a lot depends from your team mate and your coordination. That's why it's hard to even spot balance issues in these games. Can you ever be certain that the problem you had last game was due to game imbalance or was it due to lack of team play. 3v3 and 4v4 are just funfairs. I don't even know why people are having these ideas of these modes being balanced. No to mention the skill difference. The truth is a lot of people are playing 3v3 and above because they're getting their arses kicked in 2v2 and 1v1. True story. Been there, done that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: My thoughts & ideas on Conscripts25 Aug 2014, 13:42 PM That's why you should use Shocks or Guards alongside with Concripts. I don't understand why it's so hard to realize for you guys. I never build more than 2 squads of Cons because, unless I pick PPSH doctrine (then I'd go full on Cons), I will rely on Elite infantry late game. You are also wrong on 6 men getting killed as fast as four men squad. Sorry but no and the difference is noticeable. Not to mention all these squad wipes that plagues OH. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My thoughts & ideas on Conscripts25 Aug 2014, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2014, 00:39 AMArclyte How can you use Volksgrenadiers as a comparison with a straight face? Volks scale into late game and Conscripts don't. That's the entire point of this thread. They provide utility due to Shrecks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson a discussion and compariosn25 Aug 2014, 00:24 AM You don't expect Jackson's speed to be on pair with ligh vehicles, do you? It doesn't lack mobility at all, quite the opposite. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson a discussion and compariosn24 Aug 2014, 19:16 PM @ and See how top players are using Jacksons. Watch some replays and try to utilize the same tactics. This should help you if you're struggling to use this unit correctly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My thoughts & ideas on Conscripts24 Aug 2014, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2014, 17:56 PMNapalm That line of thinking is out of date. I know what would happen if Conscripts were as good as late game as LMG Grens, you'd see them on the field and fighting past the 20 minute mark. The thoughts can go both direction Imagine what would happened if Volks were as good late game as LMG Grens or Rifles and on top of that you had access to elite infantry like Panzerfusiliers, or Obersoldaten as well. Sounds like a good game to me. No, for the same exact reason you won't see Volks doing as well as Grens late game. As OKW you rely on Obers or call in infantry to the heavy fighting. Volks are only Shreck platforms only good when they outnumber the opponent 2:1 and I don't want Relic to change this as it would brake the balance. Strong Stormpioneers, followed by good Volks and backed up by Obers melting infantry. You wouldn't even be able to touch them with tanks due to Shrecks being present all the time. Good luck fighting OKW then. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson a discussion and compariosn24 Aug 2014, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2014, 18:29 PMand I don't want the Jackson replaced. I just want it in a state where it is as usable as the heavy tanks other factions have. At the moment it just plain isn't. Maybe it is on paper, but in reality it is way, way too hard to use effectively compared to the heavy tanks other factions have. Yes, I realize what's your point and that's why I directly oppose the idea. My example stands true as well. US would build Pershing - a damage sponge followed by very cheap Jacksons (1226 fuel, 240 dmg). No, thank you. If you can't see how broken this combination would be than I have no idea how to explain it to you. Also Jackson is not a heavy tank and therefore you shouldn't use it as one. It's a tank destroyer. @ JHeartless Sorry but I'd take Jackson over PaK all the time. High mobility combined with devastating punch. PaK may have high rate of fire but it's also limited by its mobility, cone of fire and if you overextend then it's good bye PaK. Jackson being economical risk? At 126 fuel they are no brainier unit to get. Thanks God Relic got some common sense and designed them as glass cannons otherwise it would be a broken unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Puma24 Aug 2014, 18:56 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2014, 17:38 PMdasheepeh OKW is in the best spot of all right now. Soviets need to rely on cheese vs OKW and are very call in dependent. US Forces? Rush out Kübel, Rush out Puma, Spam infantry. Done. Ostheer has one viable strat and that is Grens with 1 MG, then T2 with maybe 1 PGren + 1 Pak into Tiger. OKW has plenty of choices. For example, a rushed out Puma completely denies US T2. And nobody goes for Captain anyways. Sorry but no. OKW is the weakest of all the factions. Saying that Soviet need to rely on cheese is an over statement as well. Maybe in low level 3v3 mode play. The truth is Soviet are very strong in all of the modes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jackson a discussion and compariosn24 Aug 2014, 17:26 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2014, 23:45 PMand Not really. I don't think one US player would complain if the Jackson was replaced by a plain vanilla heavy tank instead. The Jackson simply have too few advantages compared to how hard it is to use effectively. If you want Jackson replaced than beg Relic so they implement this into the game but I wouldn't keep my hopes high as the idea of Pershing soaking the damage, followed by Jackson doing the damage from the second line gives me the nightmares.

Thread: OKW Puma24 Aug 2014, 17:23 PM I do feel Puma performs very well and I'm kind of with Barton on the subject on the other hand I fear that any changes done to this unit would cripple OKW faction even more. In: COH2 Balance
