Thread: New features in coh3 request/discussion 22 Nov 2019, 08:56 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 08:06 AMSander93 I disagree, it would add a lot of flavour to medium tank engagements as well. In the case of mediums like P4 Ausf.J or Sherman EZ8s now winning against cheaper tanks purely because of the armor advantage, with side armor they would actually have to be microed well or they could easily go down to these cheaper tanks. ATGs could probably get a lot less penetration so they'd have a good chance to bounce off even most medium tanks' front armor, only working well when positioned on the flanks. ATGs in CoH2 are arguably a bit too powerful (making stalling strats or comebacks too viable) as almost all of them are guaranteed to penetrate mediums frontally. Micro will become absolutely vital, and it will allow cheap tanks to become very cost effective when used well, opening up a lot more vitality for medium tank play. I've played a lot of Wargame (and some Steel Division) and having side armor on all vehicles really helped making tank combat very diverse, dynamic and exciting. It made all strategies (going for expensive main battle tanks, or going for a lot of medium main battle tanks, or going for a healthy mix, or even going for a swarm of cheap outdated tanks) viable as long as they were microed well. You are confusing game scale when comparing CoH with franchises like Wargame or Steel Division. Unit volume, speed and battlefield size, makes side armor trivial for CoH. You would also require angling calculations which would be a nightmare to implement and play around on such a fast pace game. If the system remains to be: it matters only where the shell impact on the hitbox, I keep my opinion on the subject. If the system converts to take into account the position between each vehicle/weapon, disregarding where the shell lands, i found it feasible. In: Lobby
Thread: About HMG42 gunner and formation....21 Nov 2019, 20:24 PM I think this applies to all MGs. On the other hand, MG operator have a lower priority than the crew which means they are less likely to get focused. But this only applies if the enemy has the chance to target said crew.

Thread: New features in coh3 request/discussion 21 Nov 2019, 19:16 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2019, 16:21 PMSander93 Side armor would honestly be one of the most important things to add. It would make tank engagements way more dynamic rather than RNG fests, and carry armor meta to a new level. It would allow heavies and tanks like the Panther to receive great front armor protection while still making them vulnerable in overextentions or when flanked, even by medium tanks, and it wouldn't be necessary to give ATGs and TDs over the top penetration values to fight high armored tanks. You would need to improve first ballistic collision and pathfinding as well. And TBH it should be a feature of heavy tanks and premium heavy mediums (Panther, Pershing, Comet, KV1, etc.). Don't feel it's worth the work for mediums and lights.

Instead of charging for missions, they just charge for Commanders. In: Lobby
Thread: Give Ober 20% damage reduction like Vet3 Grenadier？21 Nov 2019, 19:03 PM Why has this myth (unless proven otherwise) been repeated over and over again. Couldn't find anything by searching "ober" in the changelog nor in ninja changes. Ober (currently, tested to double checked) do not have a explosive damage modifier. I threw grenades and they receive the usual 80/100 dmg. Checked on the extracted files and old databases and couldn't find any reference to it. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: New features in coh3 request/discussion 20 Nov 2019, 21:11 PM 1- Hotkeys 2- Better hit detection (think phasing tanks and ballistic collision) 3- Previous point enables side armor 4- More types of cover while maintaining the current 4 colour system. Light/yellow crater cover shouldn't be a good mitigation of suppression. 5- 7-10 commander top: no longer the abomination of EFA. 6- Veto no longer locked down based on number of maps in rotation. 7- Optional matchmaking search which allows more experimental/community based maps to be put into rotation. You don't need to waste veto on them. More flexible. 8- Preview balance patches from the get go. This is not fail proof but it would sort out some abominations. 9- Replay system improvement. Make each save file to save states (say every 5 mins) so you no longer have to restart from the beginning of the game. 10- If further changes and improvements are possible, this MIGHT enable a better reconnection system. 11- Pathfinding 12- Double down in Theater of War. Try to replicate the success achieved by SC2 with Coop mode. In: Lobby
Thread: World Championship aftermath18 Nov 2019, 23:19 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 21:48 PMT.R. Stormjäger That’s abhorrent. He should have gone USF. He destroyed Luvnest in game 3 and could definitely have won. Picking OKW was a horrible mistake and he paid for it. TBH, he "destroyed" Luvnest, after losing 3 squads in the early game and Luvnest basically gift him 3 more expensive units in return. RET spam was going horrible and Luvnest had either to rush a bit faster that P2 or play safely and gaining map control with the P2. I don't think he had enough muni for any weapon at that point nor the upgrade been done. And the LT had been killed not too long ago. In: Lobby

Thread: reduce pop for soviet tanks and infantry18 Nov 2019, 07:38 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 04:27 AMmrgame2 I been saying the same things. Soviet has been the best faction for many years. Quietly unnoticed but is true. Like any other faction depending on meta. Soviet and OH traded places on 1v1 when EFA was the only thing. Teamgames were dominated by OH (Axis). Once OKW was released, OKW basically broke teamgames, OH had good synergy but USF dominated 1v1 followed by SU. SU bullied OKW while OH bullied OH. USF remained useless till they made the Jackson 640 HP. It still somehow work on 2v2 if you were not facing 2xOKW or play extremely early all in strats. SU dominated 1v1 once they buff OH and nerfed USF (or banned Rifle company). Decent against OH and bullying OKW with maxim spam. OKW still broke teamgames till the rework and release of UKF. UKF release, bad on 1v1, broke teamgames. OH/OKW 1v1 meta once they started with the nerfs on maxim spam and prior to rework on Penals. OH mobile def sniper/222 meta and/or Scavenge Meta. Then comes 1v1 UKF reign on everything, from teamgames with PArty Cover and AEC on 1v1. I forgot and at some point USF broke teamgames with CalliOP. First penal rework made them OP with flamer as well. Then it came PTRS penals. And we enter the last year of changes as well. ALL factions had been the best at some point. At some gamemode. Or skillbracket. Top16 meta is not the same as top50 meta, not equal to top100 meta and everything below top200 can be whatever. While in other tournaments certain factions had been clear dominant from a gameplay perspective, the final series was at least heavily balanced and all games had no clear winner whatsoever (except final one). SPOILERS: Analysis Finals (in case there is another thread and need to find this part) I jumped towards the last ace game on the Von Asten vs Jove series. It was funny reading IS2 comeback when OKW was dominating and the sole reason Jove hold a Tiger, Puma and P2 with 2 ATG and a T70 was perfect mine location. Mines basically stopped 3 STG Volks push (which removed any support on the Tiger), killed a Puma and later forced a P2 kill. Then the game favour Soviets with plenty of chance for a comeback. If any of all games (finals) showed was a lack of confidence on utilizing JPIV against Su85 on full open maps. +300f on bank and relying on double rak for Tiger support. -1st game on final series: OKW dominating till massive blunder by gifting the rak against first T3485. Game state reset in favour of SU. Fast forward, Tiger kills T3485. It's Puma + Tiger vs T85 + Su85. OKW had better infantry comp. It goes for the PIV (JPIV was the better option). After some chasing without infantry support, miss micro and bad RNG, they didn't manage to kill the retreating T85 and trade a vet Tiger for vet 0 T85. When i said missmicro, cause first it wasted the killing blow on the Su85, Puma didn't stunlocked the Su85 or killed the T85 with aimed shot. -2nd game: horrible start for OKW and recover with Flak HT play. Still on backfoot till Tiger. Same mistake as previous games. Ignoring JPIV and holding resources for PV. Also recrewing a rak with Obers. At 200f he decided to get a JPIV and that manage to get him back into the game but he was already too drained on VPs. 50/100 more VPs in the bank and he was turning that game around. Smoke plane might had saved the vet 2 JPIV. Note: 90% of Twitch chat screaming waste of munition on AT arty when the Tiger popup when he had nothing to stop it (single 45mm AT gun and T34-76, no Penals with PTRS, no snare) and that bought enough time to get an Su85. Game winning move and everyone except 2 players i could remember (Orange and someone from Ruka clan) understanding what was happening. -3rd game: how to throw a Super Bowl 25 point lead game. From wiping a WC, RET and LT to losing a P2, Kubel and Falls. -4th game: 26 min was the Championship move. Unfortunately couldn't block with PIV and the other 2 were late to the party. The correct move (pushing before IS2) unfortunate execution. 34min, 2nd Championship move. Basically what happened. TWP! TWP!!! AARRRGGHHH! Use Blitz! On the other PIV! OH SHIT RNG main gun destroy. Well, not bad, few VP but better army comp and vet 3 PIV. CRAP! He forgot the PIV!! AARRGGHH!! In: COH2 Balance
