What an ironic statement.
"Where did I miss the point?"
"I thought this was about your employment"

Yeah, I wonder where exactly did you miss the point?
And thats just for starters.

Wow, what a tool.

Has nothing to do with "paying for something extra".

Has to do with introducing P2W.

If you can't distinguish the difference there, I strongly suspect you have somekind of cognitive impairment, and probably earn that 200 bucks a day you boast about doing something that requires the intelligence of a mashed potato.

Those welfare checks won't get you as far as you'd like em to huh? I feel you bro. Let that anger out.. It's ok I don't care what you say really, the amount of posts you've made in here makes it pretty clear what a complete real life loser we're dealing with here. Full of anger, anti-social behaviour right away etc.

Go see someone dude.

If P2W is what Relic needs to do to keep their ship floating then I don't care. As I said, a good player will still beat a bad player. I wouldn't call the new doctrines UBER IMBA from what I've seen so far, no.

Please do specify what you consider is a game breaking feature that came with the new commanders.

Tivook: You have completely and utterly missed the point.

GJ on failing to read or comperehend, entirely.

Go yell at a wall or something.

Where exactly did I miss the point? Seems to me you're just angry you don't have a job worth mentioning.

Nobody is forcing you to spend anything and to be quite honest, a good player will still beat a bad player anyway.

Also I make 200 dollars in one day, I will gladly pay that to keep myself entertained for a countless amount of hours after my workday is finished.

It's about principal my ass, this is 2013 not 1996 where all patches post release was free. This is the way it works more often than not. I don't care.

In contrast, I can play Wargame that has dedicated servers with 20 players a match, experience no deabilitating lag or command delay, and enjoy a smooth experience even if the gameplay isn't as great.

Which is exactly what I've been doing.

See, this is the internet. On the internet people have great connections, people have bad connections, people with good and bad connections connect to eachother all around the world. When you have a P2P system in a situation with more than two people, it falls flat in a game where reaction time is paramount. It. Falls. Flat.

If I'm being told "Well don't play with people from other countries and also don't play more than 1v1 and you're fine!", well, I wish I was told that on the Steam page before I bought the game.

This.

Look Relic I'm still playing but it's almost impossible to micro a scout car or a clown car perfectly because of the lag.

Dedicated servers isn't anything unusual these days, you need to spend money to earn money, ya know?

If you piss people off completely by being greedy well then you'll have threads like this..

I'm on a 100/100 mbit fiber line and I know damn well I don't have any other applications running in the background. I'm using a new Haswell machine with a Nvidia Titan graphics card and even I get kicked from games from time to time because it says I'm lagging.

How on earth could I ever be lagging when I can pretty much ping a japanese website and get 230ms pings? I'm from central Europe btw. It's definitely not a problem on my end.

Often I feel it's a third party who's lagging and for some reason I end up getting the blame.

Lag is a thing of the past now that we're living in 2013, except in COH2, that's lags last bastion.

I can fully understand that there's alot going on behind the scenes in COH2 that can make the game lag but you need to understand that people love the game, they really love it but lag is killing the game. You need dedicated servers and this isn't anything new, you knew that back in vCOH.

The only time people take time to complain about something ingame is when it's lagging. It's always OMG LAG, OMG WTF BBQ LAG STOP LAG AMAGADDDDDD. etc.

I know it's not a quick fix but it should be the number 1 priority.

So been trying out the PaK43 in my last 10 games as Germans. Some of my observations

1)480mp for a fixed gun which can be decrewed by anything and everything in the soviet arsenal with such ease it ain't funny. Getting pios to recrew the gun is fine against infantry assaults or the incendiary barrage but all it takes is 1 il2 bomb strike to destroy the gun.

2)Costs 25 POP for a 3 man crew !!!! (an AT gun which costs quarter ur manpower wtf is relic thinking)

3)Misses more than hits at long range (had an su85 stay in range for 3 shots and it managed to miss 2 of them)

4)LOVES to target infantry instead of vehicles revealing its position.

5)Has no concept of turning to automatically engage hostile armor away from its cone of fire.

6)Only positive thing with it is that it can shoot through buildings (useless on open maps like steppes)

Conclusion with the amount of time, manpower and pop cap required for this gun, its almost completely useless.

What do you guys think RELIC should do to improve the 43 ?

Personally the biggest requirement I feel is that it should have a "hold fire" button along with a pop cap reduction/4 man crew and mp reduction to make it more viable.

Increase the radius or change it to the 88mm flak cannon is my solution, I rarely ever see it nowadays and I play quite a bit of 4v4 too.

To change it so that the crew cannot be killed is also a viable solution. It worked for the british in vCOH so I don't see why the crew should be killable here, especially since the unit pop is extremely high and Russian more often than not build Katyuuuuushas.

the way i see it is there is 2 ways to fix the problme one is rebalance the gren squads to hold 5 man. (not making them volks) this allows grens to be useful later game and actually viable.

and/or change the squad reinforcement to 2.

in another thread i wrote out somthing like this in more detail. but i never posted it.

This is actually a good idea. Putting one more man in the grenadiersquad and adjusting the damage output would pretty much fix this problem in the early game at least.

Lategame problem would pretty much remain bad because there's no reason to produce grenadiers when mp is in short supply and you need other units.
