But look at the time it takes to repair the SC. You can't even cap a point in that time. The point that you can replace damage taken at no cost to MP is valid. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The Car Thread25 Dec 2013, 10:13 AM Well you got a point in the sense. that it's a new engine and in that way there's no way of knowing how it stands the test of time. It easily does get extremely hot (or maybe that's my driving?) and evidently that must put a strain on some parts. OTOH I'm sure they tested its endurance and since I don't drive that much, I'm not likley to be the first to run into any wear and tear downsides. [nerd-alert!] Ford had a lot of complaints about the TDCi when it turned out that some of the valves in the Mondeo that required regular replacing, were located in a position that you couldn't get to without taking the whole engine out. They solved that eventually and it didn't apply to all Mondeos. Besides, that was a diesel-only problem. My Fiesta has the SCTi engine. It's not a diesel and it's not a generic engine, but Fords' own engine that - afaik - they don't share with anyone. The parts of the engine come from many places, though. It worries me just slightly that I can see some parts come from Craiova in Romania for example :/ In: Scrap Yard
Thread: ostruppen and assures not coming up by radio intercept24 Dec 2013, 12:17 PM Flawed soviet intel? Would make sense from a historical point of view, but that's no excuse for a bug ofc. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Scout Cars24 Dec 2013, 12:12 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2013, 16:24 PMNeffarion theres nothing to kite if soviets can just shoot it down with bullets, even the shock troops do a lot of dmg to it. Yes ppsh penetrate an armored car lol Kiting does not imply not taking a single bullet. Ofc you will. The point is to stay at max range and then retreat it for repair when health approaches about half. SC is not a tank. It's not supposed to be run into the enemy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP24 Dec 2013, 12:09 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2013, 03:42 AM__deleted__ Yeah whats up with german snipers holding fire all on their own? I've found mine to just sit in cover and do nothing even when the hold fire button isn't active. Have to click on an enemy squad 50% of the time to have them do something. Also like the previous post they do sometimes just ignore things and run into enemies? I feel like these mechanics should be top priority in fixing they are basic mechanics for the game and should be working at 100%, or is this just latency issues at the work here or something else or perhaps even intended? Am I missing something here? No. There's a bug. And AFAIR it's allready reported in the bug section. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Car Thread24 Dec 2013, 12:01 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2013, 18:12 PMMoon I was thinking for a second you bought the ST I would have....but I couldn't even afford that I wonder what milage can you get from a 1 litre 125PS engine before it breaks apart. I hope it won't be a trouble for the first owner Not sure what you stab at wrt to 'breaks apart'. It's a Ford! Not some french tin can. Supposing I'm not mistaken by the liter to gallon conversion, it'll do 40 mpg (17 km per liter) with no special effort and 47 mpg (20 km per liter) if I concentrate on fuel conservation (that's not what the car is asking for, though). Youtube videos can be misleading, they don't necessarily reflect the reality - videos can be easily accelerated a bit or just have some frames removed - you wouldn't notice it but it would speed up the video by a few fractions of a second. Even if the author doesn't intend it the 0-100 acceleration can be different due to framerate conversion, youtube compression etc. So I would take those resuls with a pinch of salt. Especially that it's extremely hard to match times manufacturers state. You need a perfect start on the verge of losing traction, perfect gearshifts at the right moments, good tyres and good weather conditions. Oh and also traction control turned off You can measure that accurately with RaceLogic or DriftBox, not with youtube videos or phone apps Yeah, I know ppl mess around with those videos. But as I said I did experiment some of the way and I think it's credible. Another thing to factor in, is how to use the booster. It's avaliable for 20 seconds, which is more than enough, but it doesn't kick in the same way no matter how you use it. Maybe we should organise some COH car-nerd event on this forum In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP23 Dec 2013, 14:48 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2013, 10:39 AMMr. Someguy It already does apply to the Maxim though. Panzergrenadiers are as elite as German Infantry gets, and they hit the dirt half-way through the first Maxim burst. Tell me why Soviet Infantry should get a pass on the Ost's (technically superior) MG? That's supposing you are rght, but I don't think you are. In my experience the Maxim does not have that absolute power over the Pgrens. Oh, and Pgrens are not 440 MP. Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2013, 13:24 PMZtormi So what is the primary early game counter to shocks in your opinion then? I know what you're going to say; vehicles, but there are barely any sensible vehicles available at 1cp. Smoke grenade is just another get me out of the jail free card stupid ability which should be removed. Actually no. Vehicles won't do. Aradan allready gave the answer: to counter a 440 mp unit, you - naturally - must expect to use more than 240 mp if you want to stop it cold. It mostly means MG+gren or some such. But there are often also other options. Like stalling or a fighting withdrawal. The point of that is to inflict losses on he ST. Remember that his replacements are expensive. Focusing only on ways to totally eliminate a unit may not always be a good idea. Free tip for a partial, free solution: wire! (it is so underused) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Scout Cars23 Dec 2013, 14:46 PM How can you seriously expect more for the price? I find that they are worth the Investment if you concentrate on kiting. Anything else means premature death. Bottom-line, the SCs always end up dying. I guess thats what ppl are referring to here. But so do M3s and if it's earned its price, then it really doesn't matter IMO. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP23 Dec 2013, 10:29 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2013, 00:56 AMZtormi Mg42 should be the main counter to shocks, with the flamer pios, but you need 2 mgs to counter one unit of shocks. Plus flamers are unreliable because of spontaneous combustion. The game really feels like shocks aren't meant to come so early. NO? Elite infantry shouldn't be stopped cold at a regular basis by HMGs. Just imagine if that was Applied to the Maxim.. edit. plus there is no single reason why to get Penals now. Shocktroops outclass them in everyway even if they are a little bit more expensive. There's deinately one good reason: merging. It means low reinf cost with no performance drop. You can't do the same with shocks. In: COH2 Balance
