Thread: RELIC wake up and fix damn RNG please!15 Jul 2018, 19:12 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2018, 15:06 PMAralepus Most of the bad rng is removed from the game, and it's probably in its best state of all time when it comes to balance. Instead of focusing on those two shots that missed the tank and blame rng gods you should rather be reflecting if there was anything else you could have done to secured the kill or larger egnagement. The beauty of coh is that outcomes aren't 100 % predictable despite having fought similar engagements a hundred times. If you can't get comfy with that then you should find a different game that plays more to the rules you like. I can't emphasis this 2 statements even more. A bad occurrence on a 3 flip coin case is rare, but not impossible to happen. You feel like shit when you roll that natural 1 (5%/10% as showned by Nosliw) but i'm sure you won't be complaining when you roll a nat20. The beauty of the game is that outcomes are unknown, but the result can be tilted in your favour through your skill. IF you think the result of a game is decided on a single dice roll, maybe you weren't even close to win that game or there were plenty of other scenarios or variants you are not taking into account which would had made that 50-50 roll a 99-1 in your favour. This doesn't even show the complete picture of how bad "RNG" was a couple of years ago. Examples Bad RNG was: 1% death crit on vehicles. Explosive crits. Skill planes and every kamikaze plane tells a story. Abandoned vehicles. Flamer crits. Chasing snipers on retreat (target tables were not a thing). Ramming tanks. Really bad map balance with auto win spawn positions. Vehicle crits. Blizzard. Killing planes. Snares. B4. Old armor RNG bombs. Long, long etc. I was gonna search for that cpt sprice game but instead i found this. Insert BANEmemehere: "You think you got a bad RNG roll? You merely adopted RNG. We were born in it. We were mold by it. We didn't see stupid death crits removed till meme kamikazes planes were removed". For a more serious response, watch this. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: King Tiger balance fix: smoke launchers13 Jul 2018, 14:34 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2018, 12:59 PMVipper Allies have a number a great AT option like ISU-152, SU-85, Su-76, T-34/85, M36, M10, Persing, FF AEC and AT weapon in an number of infantry their infantry. Saying they "have 1 TD for to do it all" is simply not true, misleading and it's also bad design. Your 2nd part is correct, but how the hell is a Pershing, 85s or AEC TDs ? Might as well say that any medium tank is a great AT option if they flank. Light vehicles, light tanks, mediums, advanced mediums and heavy tanks. In the same way that OH lacks vehicle options to deal with light tanks (non doc), other factions have lost effectiveness in their low-mid tier AT vehicles (Su76-Stug-M10) or have them more focused on dealing with heavy tanks. If the game drags pass the light stage, you don't want Pumas, AEC, Su76s or Stuart. Non doctrinally, Axis has 2 options to deal with medium to heavy tanks in either different effective ways. Stug/JPIV for mediums and PV for heavier armored vehicles. Su85, Jackson and FF have seen their power shift towards dealing with heavier vehicles even though they still can deal with mediums. Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2018, 12:38 PMKatitof IS-2 is in worse state then KT for almost a year, whatever you can do to KT, you can do the same to IS-2. PRE BUFF IS2 was in a worst state than pre nerf KT for sure and maybe equal to KT post nerf. Right now IS2 > KT, specially on 1v1. Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2018, 12:46 PMullumulu Where did i said it? maybe i mean the some best top 20 players, like angreifen? here u go and look how bad IS2 is and how great KT is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bylm5bZEZ5A Floating +400 muni when you have Ober/Fall/2 Volks. Angreifen threw that game after the IS2 base rush. He had the lead, comp wise, specially after sniping the Su85. Then the Katy snipes the Obers (lucky that the rocket impact the carcass of the Su85) and it's a downfall from then on. Keeps sending single squads around the map, while Ikab defends with the IS2. Then sends his single 75% HP JPIV to chase 75% HP IS2 and loses it. While also losing another Volk squad to the Katyusha (he back off towards the volley). He could had either throw his whole army headfront and use his offmap and win that game, or spam grenades on every engagements and win the map control. Instead he kept pushing with half his army across the whole map while losing squad here and there. When the KT arrived, he already had lost half his army and it's vet. At the end, he rush his PIV towards a zone he already knew there were mines and losses the game. The 2 Penals getting behind the un micro KT and satcheling to dead was inconsequential towards the result of the match. PD: just to be clear. KT is bad, but not too far off. Remove drunken IS2 gunner phenomenon and it would be fine. 1v1, heavy wonders doesn't work as well so don't expect it to be a "come back" unit. IS2 is not such a meme unit after the buffs but i still think the alternatives are stronger (T3485s) cause you don't have to play the waiting game. If any allied TDs is overperforming against simple mediums, there's always the option to reduce accuracy and instead increase the size of all advance mediums and heavies. Which TBH i don't think it's necessary. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Newcomer to CoH2 but not RTS, first thoughts11 Jul 2018, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2018, 20:40 PMPlokite_Wolf * bases - an RTS without bases is not an RTS. As with CoH1, bases seem to be pretty much ignored after the first 2-3 minutes completely except for making an odd unit or two if your micro sucks and you lose troops. Welcome to a new genre in strategy games. RTT or real time tactics. Consider CoH or even Relic's games, as a middle point between RTS and RTT. If you ask what's the difference, welp think about games on which the macro aspect is less focused on in favour of micro tactics. There's less attention on base building, technology and resource gathering in favour of focusing on combat tactics. More "pure" RTT would be Men of War, Wargames series or even the combat aspect from Total war games. map variety - in older RTSes, you'd get a lot of default maps without having to rely on expansions and fan-made content. Here, you just get a truly pathetic map count, and to add fuel to the fire, the interface also shows the maps for the DLC you didn't buy (just grayed out), so the base game is really thin in this aspect. On automatch, you get access to all of them (randomly). Still i think it's a stupid decision to lock them down, when you could access them through the steamworkshop. Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2018, 20:40 PMPlokite_Wolf whether there is any number of fellow noobs online who also aren't casual-minded turtlers, but also not toxic nutjobs There are plenty of noobs as there are also plenty of sharks. The thing is, the first 10 games on each mode, with each different partner, will be basically against anyone. They are your placements games. Still, there's high chances for disparity games, when you are playing outside of prime hours or in modes with less people playing or when doing random search in teamgame modes. In: Lobby
Thread: Brit tank scatter7 Jul 2018, 22:58 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2018, 02:42 AMjbjbjb3743 Not sure... the opponents was definitely playing tho but my point is having multiple Churchills can really deal heavy damage. More than 1 churchill, means that you will end up wasting more time repairing than attacking. If you are playing outside of teamgames, you don't have enough pop to support the rest of your army, cause anything more than 1 churchill means that you'll need +3 RE to repair. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: King Tiger balance fix: smoke launchers6 Jul 2018, 01:47 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 22:25 PMKatitof Its simply lowering the risk, making it much more forgiving to play recklessly. It also impacts general counterplay. Isn't the risk right now, too high for too low reward ? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander concepts.5 Jul 2018, 23:06 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 21:50 PMTiger Baron That's why I grounded my ideas in what's currently avaiable and haven't included anything that's been removed and so forth, I also tried to follow a certain theme and how commanders were previously designed. However your comment on resource manipulation is invalided by the Luftwaffe supply doctrine. It wasn't necessarily aimed at your post but towards future responses if this thread keeps going to be a "general" thread fo suggestions. And check Lago's answer. Instant toggle resource had been removed. Either it's an Opel or is a resource drop which the plane can either be killed or the resources be stolen. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet Overhaul Suggestions5 Jul 2018, 20:03 PM Several issues. 1- Tripwire won't be removed from main line infantry. You could probably ask for a muni reduction to 5 or free if you remove the damage component of it. They already have a cd and they can't hit more than 1 model. 2- PPSH can't drop for the same reason G43 or Thompsons don't drop. 3- We have already gone through too much changes to the sniper. Flares should reveal cloaked units. 4- You just made a stronger clowncar which can scale. 5- You are re introducing maxim spam with those changes. 6- T3476 on T3 is OP In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: King Tiger balance fix: smoke launchers5 Jul 2018, 19:15 PM Random thought, would making Heavy tanks have a lower threshold to crit through snares be good/bad ? IIRC right now it's global 75%, but what would be the consequences to lower it to say 50%-30% ? About KT specifically, what blackdream says. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to nerf Mobile Defense without it becoming CAS5 Jul 2018, 19:07 PM OP: CAS died because resource manipulation as a whole was removed. It was not about offmap air support and more about spamming LMG early on. First of all, the current Mobile defense meta is a combination of historical factors. 1-Call in vehicles are always gonna have a root issue. They are able to skip tech and in a lesser way, they overcome build time construction. 2-Historical OH weakness to light vehicles (which had constantly been nerf). In case of mobile defense, the biggest issue are not the units themselves, rather than the combination of those units in the same commander AKA having the Puma PLUS a medium tank (more like an Ostwind lite). <Option A> Removing CPIV from the commander. People saying that not teching and it later backfiring the player been an issue does not remember that the same logic happened with T3485s and more recently with OKW Ostwind. <Option B> Making CPIV require some level of tech (BP2?). Slightly improve OH options early on against light vehicles so there's less reliance on panic Puma while not been as strong as an option as the PUMA. <Option C> This one is more varied as there are a couple of ways to tackle it down. -You could think about re introducing the 221 as basically the current 222 AI wise and make it so that the 222 is a bit more focused on light AT and not as vulnerable to small arm fire. -Make PG a bit more popular. Make them slightly cheaper and make them start with 2 STGs. Not sure this could be approved as a design philosophy, but other 2 STGs could cost manpower or a combination with muni (over reliance of OH early on muni). Schrecks could be bought one by one instead of bundle. -T2 doesn't require BP1 to be built but it only gives access to either 221/Pak and PGs. 222/Pak/251 HT would require BP1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Unused stuff in CoH2 (for commanders update)5 Jul 2018, 18:48 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2018, 18:19 PMAngrade (Ægion) Barb Wire Fields I think there's an issue on retreat units, slowing them down. Fix this or make it so they are only buildable on own territories and cleared by any light vehicle unit and it might possible be something which can be used. In: Lobby
