3 days ago i was browsing store and i saw europe at war in recommended list so i headed to the store page and saw the reviews, i was surprised that this mod had only 14 negative reviews and over 140 positive reviews, specially when i read 3 reviews saying "this is what Coh1 and Coh2 should have been not those garbages they gave us" so i thought maybe some real good players are behind this mod.
I downloaded the mod and i directly jump in skirmish to discover the new units and new abilities, well commanders have like tones of off map reinforcements for 1200manpower, like you can even send 4-5 Upgraded shermans with 2 support halftrucks and 2 riflemen squads (9men each) with bazookas and 2 engineers with flamers (all come in for 1200manpower).... anyway i make it short: balance means nothing in this mod you basically can win a game by just surviving until this ability gets unlocked. me and an old COH1 friend did a 1v1 and the replay of this game can be found here:
we basically just showed how unbalanced the game is, because i was totally outplayed from start since PE MGs have range of snipers and he had tiger 2 panthers and 1panzer IV and i had only 3 riflemen squad and was just saving manpower for those off map reinforcement, so although i had no sectors under control with only one click i won the game by sending those offmap things.
I posted a review on community hub and the store page about this mod, a few minutes later i was just getting add requests + New comment notifications + invitations etc etc from who? from the developer and his moderators. they bashed and blamed me to hell that i have no understood this mod and i have no knowledge over CoH1, i checked their stats and what i saw was only Compstomp games and not even a single pvp match stats. so i started to say this mod is great for compstomping because you have tones of options to continue the battle for hours versus AI but for PVP it is completely a garbage in terms of balance. it was not long after that i got warning from steam that my review is "abusive" and has been flagged by the developer, then there were comments from one of the moderators who just didnt back off and kept flaming me to hell just because i said it is unbalanced. at the end i edited my review saying "do not download this mod unless you wanna be flamed by the mods and dev himself they are typical a**holes you are not even allowed to speak out your thoughts"
then another moderator of this mod who already has me on addlist downloads the replay watches it and says : i do not see any balance issues, i check her stats and i only see compstomp. then i question her how come you are able to judge a 1v1 pvp when you only have played versus AI? then this is where i got a ban on forums for this mod and my review is still flagged as abuse to steam moderation team lol. and when you ask them to play versus you so maybe you can prove it "i never play pvp" so please.....
I started browsing the forum to see if i can find any other members who think this is unbalanced and i added one of them, and his review was deleted because of abuse as well, i am guessing he said the game is unbalanced.
So yea guys stick to the main game and keep away from mods which can be downloaded from steam, as it seems there are too many power thirsty kids that can not take suggestion or feedback lol
Wait wait why didnt you counter report them for being a-holes? In CoH1 these kind of units did exist but not to a degree of such. Those MGs though "range of a sniper"
I dont see why volks need any AT at all in the first place. With their increased ammo they can put more mines down. In the late game they have the best AT. Schrecks are just spammable and dont make room for other strats.
Why make a raketenwerfer if you an get schrecks? Same for the puma. Early game AT isntused at all because you can simply get schrecks.
My vote goes to delete the schreck-upgrade from volks and move it to another unit like Obersoldaten. Brits work out without snares to, and they dont have mines without any teching or a T0 AT gun.
Anyone who is going to depend on shrecks is going to need more than just about 3 volks. The 7 popcap change was good for OKW.
basicaly serious buffs to almost EVERITHING. COnscripts, ATG, mg, mortars, all tanks( exept IS2), unit surviveability, tech tree is necceseary for game to be balanced.
make 3 tiers not 4. And guards and shocks available in tech tree in early stage.
Now noone would paly soviet faction unless he have masohism going
Soviets are in a decent spot right now we dont need to buff it tech units. The crappy commanders and penals though need changes. Soviets already had its era of OP dont need them to have that again.
Hey all, not sure if this is a bug, or if its something else, or if there is a solution, but the black screen bug is getting really old really fast. Went on to play a game or two with my friend, FIRST game, started playing all was good, my FPS was about 36 to 40 FPS, using only 9(I know, memeory leak and all.)gb's of my 16 gb's of RAM, then bam... Black Screen, my screen starts to flicker, screen goes black, and I have to restart my entire machine. One time I got to open task manager during said event, and saw I was using 16 gb's of RAM, wtf is going on with this game? Any fixes, known, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and see you later.

Luchs is FINE. Just buy AT jesus christ is that hard to buy some zooks? Axis is always forced to get AT by the 6-7 minute mark why shouldn't we? I always play allies these days and as USF i always get zooks by the 6-7 minute mark or a bit earlier depending on situation. When I see a medic truck I dont have to rush AT I can wait for AA halftrack to counter the Flak and save my munis for other investments. I'm getting a bit off topic here but my point is just get AT and everything will be fine. Zooks do the job against luchs. I get 2 REs and put double zooks on each then I attempt to sneak up on a luchs and 1 shot it in 1 volley.
The cost of OKW armor isnt the problem... what they need to do is add in a heavy upgrade button in the T4 once you build all tech trucks that costs 45 fuel and 200 mp and it will take 2-3 minutes to upgrade or maybe more. After 2-3 minutes you will then be allowed to purchase higher quality vehicles such as the panther and the KT but until you get that heavy upgrade you must stick with JP4, Raketen, and P4 as armor excluding commanders.

You are about to embark upon the Great Blob, toward which we have saved up munitions for throughout these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of the coh2 allied community march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of the Nazi blob over oppressed peoples of City 17, and Faymonville, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is vet 5, well equipped with IR STG-44s and battle-hardened from years of war with the Soviets. He will blob savagely.
But this is the year 2015. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of the 2013 opel blitz into P4 spam. The other Allied Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, from the Guard Motor Spammerino, of this past summer in open armored battle, to the technological advances of the british and their Multi-cannon Centaur tanks, and Lazor Firefly rockets, and their reverse engineering of the german engine enhancement,AKA BlitzKrieg ability. Our constant P47 strikes have seriously reduced their strength and capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained vet 3 riflemen with LMG's, M26 Pershing tanks, and T34 calliope rocket launchers. The tide has turned. The free men of the coh2 community are marching together to victory.
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and micro in battle. I will accept nothing less than full victory.
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble blob war.
1. Be PATRIOTIC, and POSITIVE EVEN in the face of OBVIOUS DEFEAT
2. Be Skilled and experienced in your CRAFT! Be at least Top 300 with USF in 1v1,2v2,3v3,or 4v4. You can also be top 300 in wins.
3. Never let up. Never surrender. Negativity during losses will not be tolerated, and will be considered TREASON against the United States.
4. ALWAYS STRIKE FAST, COORDINATED, and WITH A PURPOSE. Many Grenades must be thrown. Smoke MUST be spammed.
5. Using your Mic is OPTIONAL, but being in a teamspeak with your fellow commanding officers is recommended for a healthy teamwork environment.
6. Nationality does not matter, you can be an italian USF Fanboy, a Japanese USF fanboy, anything. As long as USF is your primary or 'favorite' faction.
7. Light exceptions can be made to the rank requirement. If you are patriotic, I WANT YOU.
But the MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL..
ALWAYS #BELIEVE in USF. #KNOW that your riflemen and your fellow USF commanders, should you be in a team-game, will carry you to victory.
