Thread: The COH2 Mega Map Poll22 Mar 2014, 09:40 AM Nice poll, good work. Rzhev winter is much more fun than summer version, the ice is important for providing a bit more mobility, all be it at the increased risk of crossing under fire. I think its one of the best ice maps in terms of risk/reward for using it. On a lot of the other winter maps ice can seem slightly redundant. Like on Rostov, hardly anyone ventures into the large expanse of ice.. as its kind of a flank to nowhere. Maybe if the island was more to the side, with the open expanse of ice where the island currently is.. it would be more of a focal point. Could possibly make the island feel isolated, which Im not sure if that would be good or not. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Expansion spotted22 Mar 2014, 09:15 AM Call me crazy, but I like the current commander system. I dont see how they could fit anywhere near the variety of stuff available now into only 3 commanders with Trees. And if they did, too many things would cross over, every commander would have heavies, elite inf and strong arty. Would seem odd. In: Lobby
Thread: A flame problem22 Mar 2014, 09:06 AM But the KV8 has very short range, so get it fuasted, then keep the fk away with Inf, while using tanks, preferably a stug, to chip away at it, use target weak point and mines.. use its slow speed and short range against it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A flame problem21 Mar 2014, 00:04 AM Like Aero said, get some indirect fire, even just a mortar will bait the KV-8 in, try to have a tellar ready on approach and a Stug, use target weak point with your Stug AND Pak... having two lots of target weak point, and hopefully a tellar hit, should allow the Stug to finish it. Its key to draw the KV8 just slightly out of protection of the ZiS, which indirect fire is a perfect bait and Stug has nice range, so can sit waaay back from ZiS fire. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Osttrupen Tactics20 Mar 2014, 23:41 PM VonMecha, in your strat sounds like a really good idea to throw down a LOT of tellars, seen as you dominate territory early and have the ressource ability. Then again, thats going to slow down building tanks, if you use the ability too much. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does Luftwaffe Have Any Potential?20 Mar 2014, 15:28 PM Are you also forgetting the wirblewind? This is PEs most powerful suppression tool by far, very useful against allied blobs. In: COH Central
Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?19 Mar 2014, 18:07 PM I always have the light on, and blinds open during the day. I will make a point to take a few mins between games to rest eyes. Ill give it a go lowering the brightness too. I remember a teacher at school having an anti glare filter that fitted to the front on his monitor. I wasnt very keen on the look of it though.

Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?19 Mar 2014, 11:06 AM Its often quite like a stress head ache, but sometimes I get really sensitive to light, and my appetite goes, feel slightly sick, pain killers dont touch it and only sleep will shift it. Ive not had my eyes checked in donkeys, so really need to do that. After that could check with my doctor I guess. I stay reasonably hydrated, dont drink much, sometimes dont get enough sleep though with working shifts. The annoying thing is the fact I didnt have a single one for 3 months while not playing coh lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?18 Mar 2014, 23:08 PM I could possibly get a headache eventually playing another game.. but only for quite a long time, which is to be expected for anyone staring at a screen for that length of time. V-sync is currently On, which I think was default for my hardware. Settings all on medium. Top resolution with 60Htz frequency, only other option for freqency is 59.94Htz.. not sure if that would make any difference. I will try it without v-sync and see how that is. Its not that it ALWAYS gives me a headache.. but certainly often enough for it to be noticable that it is playing coh that is bringing it on. EDIT: Just read up on refresh rates and v-sync (should know all this but forgoten lol). Not really worth turning v-sync off, as it would just allow my card to overwork when my monitor is limited to 60Htz. Also higher refresh rate is best for less eye strain. Maybe a monitor that could handle 120Htz might help reduce my head aches.. but then Im not very excited at the prospect of buying a new monitor.

Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?18 Mar 2014, 16:18 PM Yeah I can play FPS games for ages and ages absolutely fine, well I used to not really any more. I've already got all settings really low, appart from resolution which is high. I could try tinkering some more maybe: I do think it has a lot to do with the level of concentration that the game can demand. In: COH2 Gameplay
