Thread: Relic, OKW Needs the resource penalty back!4 Mar 2016, 19:04 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2016, 18:09 PMOmega_Warrior No, a general resource penalty is a stupid way of balancing. If they need nerfs, increasing prices and adding side upgrades is a way better and easier to control way of doing it then bringing back the terrible resource penalties. Except they had the tools to offset their resource penalty. Salvage and resource conversion gave them a unique flavour and rewarded good economization and tech timings. Of course none of you guys ever fucking used resource conversion... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AEC Armor Car Timing Nerf7 Feb 2016, 04:05 AM Don't nerf the timing, nerf the anti-infantry potential. Should be somewhere between old AEC and current one. Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2016, 02:44 AMvietnamabc And not to mention 4-man IS still lose to Prostruppen in equal cover. Ostruppen accuracy bonus when in cover is no joke. Gives a huge advantage.

Thread: Beef's Beef: Soviet Infantry Woes6 Feb 2016, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2016, 04:54 AMThe_Courier Yeah, Guards and Shocks are easily among the best balanced infantry in the game. Good, but not too much. I still think conscripts should do more DPS as they vet up. Having to rely on doctrines to provide your high damage infantry severely limits doctrine choice. Every single doc that doesn't give you Guards or Shocks (or PPSH at the very least) is utterly unused by Soviet players, save from Lend-Lease to cheese in 1v1. I actually use quite a few of them. They just encourage a less infantry heavy playstyle. Support weapons, vehicles and a different style of play altogether. Penals being buffed would bridge the gap though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove Auto-Cover from Game4 Feb 2016, 20:39 PM I've honestly never had this issue. Just place them in cover at cap points instead of clicking on the minimap or whatever. Autocover has been around since CoH1. It ain't going away. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Beef's Beef: Soviet Infantry Woes4 Feb 2016, 08:50 AM I think Conscripts are fine as they are. They're more of a support unit for your elite infantry and weapons teams with merge and their abilities. (Unless you get a doctrine with PPSH, in which case they become really, really good.) I'd like to see Combat Engineers get a buff instead because right now they're rear echelon tier without the benefit of weapon racks. Penals need to be reworked to be a core "elite infantry" option. Should go back to their old 360mp/godlike SVT rifles form. Both Shock and guard rifles seem fine to me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Applying the Fundamental Skills of RTS to CoH23 Feb 2016, 22:03 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 20:29 PMNeris Thanks man. Those videos are great. Now it is waaaaay simpler for me than it was before. Do you know any good youtubers with CoH1/CoH2 tips/guides content? Not with replays because I know all casters. I watched everything from cmasupra and Inverse. Btw. I still don't know how to work with control groups. I read that too many control groups isn't a good thing. Luvnest set control groups to the most important units like vehicles, tanks, snipers, at guns etc. Some players like Hans doesn't use them at all but in my opinion it is not efficient to limit yourself in this way. Maybe it depends only from personal preference. Not specifically. I don't know of too many people really interested in making this sort of content for CoH1/CoH2. There is the "Tales of Heroes" series from Bridger which has some newbie tips that are pretty good and also www.gamereplays.org which has a ton of Coh1 content. (But I dunno if I'm allowed to mention them here...) Control groups is very much a personal thing. I was a high level Dawn of war 2 player for a few years before CoH2 came out, and that game you typically have 4-8 units at a time so every unit had a control group. When I first started playing Coh2 it took me a long time to get comfortable not using them because there's simply way too many units to play the way I did in DoW2. What I do is I use control groups similarly to Luvnest. In the early game my support weapons get control groups but eventually it's just things like snipers, mortars/artillery and vehicles. Everything else I control by clicking on them. Generally I like 1-2 for snipers/support weapons and 3-6 for vehicles. Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 02:50 AMYukiko Then the next question is: would you like to add that detail? To work it into a proper guide? I remember that you were a Senior Strategist Specialist for the DoW2 section of Gamereplays, years ago now. About the same time I was a writer for the that section. Of course, this is assuming you are the same Dullahan as the one from GR. I am indeed one and the same. I'm considering it. I'm debating doing a video series on it, but if I can't get that the way I want then a written guide is a good possibility. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: What do you think about T0 mg's3 Feb 2016, 07:03 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 06:52 AMNuclear Arbitor that said, the bren suppression is a poor example as it's also in bad shape at the moment, albeit for slightly different issues. It's a bit buggy, but it works okay when it decides to work. In: Lobby
Thread: From OP to UP to OP again: UKF3 Feb 2016, 07:00 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 06:00 AMashxu Stop using coh2charts as a definitive indicator of balance, by that logic OKW is literally useless because as I'm typing, the have won 0 games in the top 150. Yeah, it's pretty much useless. AEC is a little OP right now and results in some extra wins, it's hardly the end of the world. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What do you think about T0 mg's3 Feb 2016, 06:46 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 06:36 AMNuclear Arbitor i agree with the concept but the implementation of Volley Fire has been from a cheap Mind War that won the shittiest unit in the game almost every infantry fight to something that is almost never worth using because it's both ineffective and makes RETs die faster. Yeah it definitely got nerfed into the ground. I'd like to see it tweaked to work like the Bren Carrier vickers suppression, where it's a targeted AoE on the ground. In: Lobby
Thread: Sov vs OKW: Broken Match up3 Feb 2016, 05:36 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 04:57 AMwongtp decent strat but snipers seem to be very redundant. The sniper is critical, actually. Conscripts really can't stand up to a fair fight against OKW's infantry, but if you tip the odds with the sniper you stand a chance. Especially against Obers. Even with PPSH and vet obsers chew them up. The alternative is to rely on maxims, but I wanted a more mobile playstyle. T70 is good but I find it too risky. The odds are stacked against it with p schrecks, raketens, pumas and mines. If I do build one, it's purely for recon mode and supporting my other units. In: COH2 Balance
