Thread: Fall Balance Preview: Scope Additions25 Jul 2017, 11:23 AM Be careful not to over buff cons, next min we will have spammed Ppsh with 1 shock thrown in and support from 120mm mortar, followed up by tanks, this is already powerful, cons need a buff, but it wouldnt take too much for them to become really fucking powerful. If people want to see a reduction in use of penal spam, I think simply increasing their reinforce time would be a really nice option. It would take them longer to get back out on the field, which goes nicely with their delayed deployment time (due to tecking). But they still remain a strong unit, could still be spammed, but wont dominate the map for quite as long. People could negate the increased reinforce time by using merge, which is good because now you would need some cons, and it also takes a little time and micro to do. Nice to see a speed buff on the Tiger, this will really help it stay alive and make it a more attractive option. In: Lobby
Thread: Coh 2 after March patch = penals blob / lend lease25 Jul 2017, 11:16 AM Lend lease has no off map arty, so maybe get a fast Howie, place it by base where you can protect it with Flak HQ and a bunker if you really have to, then smash his Dshkas to bits, then proceed to bombard his reinforcing inf every time they retreat. Later you could even build a pak43 if you need to hold off Shermans, provided you can protect it from satchels of course. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dealing with King Tiger as SU25 Jul 2017, 10:37 AM When facing a strong unit like a KT, don't always necessarily think about trying to counter it directly, as this can just be playing into the enemy's hands. As with any war or strategy game, the best thing you can do is hit the enemy where they are weak and where it will cause them trouble. After all Hitler didn't wonder how to counter the OP Maginot Line, he just went around it through Belgium. So for a KT, it may be better to concentrate on either wiping his supporting inf (maybe katushkas), while holding the KT at bay, or even better destroying his HQ trucks. Easiest and risk free way to rape OKW trucks is combined howitzer and IL-2 bombing run, this stop him repairing and gets it killed fast, if you keep nailing trucks like that it really helps weaken them, not to mention you can be destorying those trucks way before KT arrives, forcing him to waste more fuel replacing them. The weaker you make the rest of his forces, the less effective the KT will become and easier to out manouver it. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: 120 mm Soviet counter25 Jul 2017, 00:13 AM If its a real problem for you, a hard counter would be the mortar half track, use the incendiary shell when you know its just moved or started a barrage, then make sure to move the MHT before a deadly 120mm lands on it. You could consider popping some Storm troopers out of a building and using bundled nade, if there is a convenient building and you like to use Tiger Ace doc. Or ideally you could use any of the above to counter the MGs, and rush in with inf. Obviously simply de-crewing it will only cost him time and manpower, so its best to follow up with some kind of attack. If you are really suffering to soviet team weapons, you could consider the Luftwaffe doctrine for the incendiary off map drop. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: What are some weird t1 openings I can try as Wehrmacht?24 Jul 2017, 12:50 PM 2-3 MGs with OStruppen, skip T1, fast T2 and FHT. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Urban Defense = I win button on some maps?24 Jul 2017, 12:47 PM I thought mortar half track was the standard counter to FHQs? The flame barrage will burn houses down right? Only 40 muni and you dont need teck. Risk free, pull MHT back from counter barraging mortars and they are going to think twice about building more and wasting fuel when you can burn it down risk free? In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Best UKF commander for 2v2?24 Jul 2017, 12:17 PM If your facing OKW, its hard to not take a strong off map bomb (Commando/Special Weapons), although you could make do with land mattresses. Makes it hell of a lot easier when you can just click and delete trucks. With commando you can get 2 if they place them too close to each other. Vs. dual Ost Royal Engineers isnt bad as you will want a armored car for the Flame HTs, which you can then use as a command vehicle after for spamming air cover. The AVRE will also mince their support weapons In: UKF Strategies
Thread: OKW early game dominance11 Oct 2016, 10:12 AM I do agree with you that Guards and maxims are a lot easier to get results with vs OKW. But it is possible to go ultra aggresive with Ppsh Cons, Shocks and a single 120mm. Just flank flank flank spam blob, while using the mortar to hit their truck. It works well in 1v1. Maybe not so much above that. You can really have them on the back foot, then pull out a T34 and they cant respond. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: so what are the changes in the past 6 months11 Oct 2016, 09:33 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Oct 2016, 08:22 AMElSlayer Don't you get saddened even a bit with Katitof ban? Your heart is made of cold stone! Unfortunately long over due. He does not know how to communicate with other people. Just always extremely rude with little to no reason. He caused a lot of bad feelings with countless players and was given imo, a very long leash by the mods. Especially to say that every other post on the forum was his and to all intents and purposes he did not appear to play the bloody game. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW early game dominance11 Oct 2016, 09:24 AM In the initial stages, you want to be really thinking about negating that S pio. Sometimes you can duke with it, if it starts to close in on you, fall back softly and make it waste time chasing you. Try to cap around it. Or double up with 2 squads when its in a weak position. Try to force one of their squads to retreat giving you the numbers advantage. One way to go against OKW with Soviet, is not build T1/2 straight away, instead use a doctrine to call in multiple Guards/Shocks/120mm/Dshk combined with conscripts. You can quickly out number the OKW and put a lot of bleed on them causing constant retreats before their DPS takes its toll. 120mm is handy to start demolishing any forward base buildings they place, which puts further pressure on them and something else to think about, all while you can simply press retreat on the unit if its in trouble, so its a low risk high reward tactic. With Soviet, I always try to get the battle going in my favor before tecking up. It all takes a lot of frustrating practice though In: COH2 Balance
