Thread: Elite troops, Soviet industry, vet riflemen.29 Mar 2016, 04:34 AM Elite Troops is actually really good now. Stun grenades and Stormtroopers are both solid. Soviet Industry is okay. It's more of a team game doctrine but repair points work very well with mass T70 or some other form of mid game aggression. Elite Riflemen I need to use more. Nothing bad about it in theory, it's just not very exciting. Fire up has a ton of potential tactically, rear echelon flamers can be nice and flares/white phosphorous will always be useful. Easy 8 is fine too. Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2016, 19:16 PMzerocoh Why not just making the fire up free? or remove the stupid debuff at the end. Because it would be horrifically gamebreaking.

Thread: Ostheer in a bad spot ? 29 Mar 2016, 02:01 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2016, 12:11 PMTasty Same goes for Pioneers, 200MP seems too much, Sappers are way better. Honestly Sappers should really be ~250 mp for how good they are. They're marginally worse than sturmpios for much cheaper. (Especially with 5 man upgrade.) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmpioneers - Uberpioneers29 Mar 2016, 00:57 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2016, 10:36 AMzarok47 Oh my, where to start with your incomplete statement of "facts" ? Well, lets take it from the top then: volks were are also made more expensive, their vet 4-5 bonuses were nerfed. The OkW teching price also got increased, aswell as fuel cost for several units (basicly the same model as before, only in a limited amount of units) And last, but certianly not least of your incomplete analyses: Luchs comes out at the same time as the t70 and the stuart, therefor it's a good timing with the other light vehicle's/tanks. As for sturms being cheaper: they were horribly, horribly cost-ineffective before the changes made to them. There was a reason no one build a second sturmpio squad and it wasn't because everyone couldn't think of such a insane idea to do it... Volks were made 6% more expensive but were buffed 20% in damage. Their vet bonuses are "weaker" in the most superficial way, they still gain a ton of accuracy buffs that make them really strong compared to say Conscripts. (Although not as tanky) Teching got increased, but we lost reduced income + conversion. It's still faster now to tech. How cost effective SMG units are depends on how you use them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hot-Key for Tactical Map [0]28 Mar 2016, 07:52 AM Relic having proper hotkey customization probably won't happen until they move to a new engine and ditch scaleworks crap. Hotkeys are in the .rbf files for whatever reason. Kind of annoying sometimes, for example Elite mod for DoW2 copy and pastes some units and abilities to make new ones but don't think about hotkey conflicts at all. They had an .ini file you could edit for Dawn of War 2, but my guess is it was someone's pet project. Wasn't a great implementation but better than nothing. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Guide on Impact of Bulletins27 Mar 2016, 23:43 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jul 2013, 16:33 PMQvazar There's so many other random factors that I don't really think these bulletins have such a huge effect anyway. This is largely why I don't play with bulletins 95% of the time. The combat ones don't make any real difference. Better positioning and engagement matter more. The bulletins that I like are cost reductions and minor quality of life stuff. For example with USF I use 10% faster riflemen/rear echelon build + reinforce, 5% cheaper support weapons and 10% cheaper weapon racks. But honestly I doubt that even accounts for much, maybe a few seconds on build time and 0.5 second on reinforce and a bit of manpower/fuel saved. (Might add up to 100 mp by the end of the game.) Most of the time when I use bulletins it is as a joke. i.e using 10% cooldown reduction on jagdtiger call in. As if I will ever have enough money in the bank + suicidal behaviour with my jagdtiger to take advantage of that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sherman Bulldozer27 Mar 2016, 22:11 PM I've always kind of preferred the m8A1 Scott since it does mostly the same thing. That said, I love the Brummbar and the Bulldozer sherman is just a baby brummbar. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Design versus reality..27 Mar 2016, 03:39 AM I would say OKW has a really strong early game and an extremely strong late game. They snowball hard with veterancy and their powerful late game units. Volks at vet 4/vet 5 are terminators. Not to mention that panzer command simply locks down a huge chunk of the map. Pretty easy to throw it near 1 VP and stall the game for way longer than they should be able to. OKW is weakest in the mid game because a lot of their units are light/medium vehicles that require careful micro. They also have lots of expensive infantry that can bleed mp like crazy.
