Thread: Revitalizing the COH2 community?10 Feb 2014, 06:10 AM Being a lifelong WW2 enthusiast, I still like this game but I am bored of the same strats over and over again and the small maps with little space to maneuver. (vcoh aspect ratios were different) My chief complaint of the game is the lack of tactical depth. I would prefer more tiers (like Age of Empires) and a lot more units types and structures. I would like a game like this to go up to T6 or T7. I'd liked more complexity. The commander DLC system is, of course, horizontal- very wide but rather shallow. In: Lobby
Thread: Panzergrens9 Feb 2014, 18:31 PM ^ It's about shocks being used to get an irrevocable early advantage that expands to mid game. PzGs are great but with weak armor and HP compared to shocks. They slaughter conscripts. I don't know what their damage is, but it's definitely comparable to shocks. Plus they have the range. They do considerably more damage than the 5 assault grenadiers. I always get 2 PzGs and by mid-game, get them the panzershrecks. They are usually vetted by then. As for shocks I usually get only 1 or sometimes 2 because they are expensive and not scalable.

Thread: Balance the Germans8 Feb 2014, 18:55 PM I find the soviets stronger than the Germans until the Tanks come in. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Call in Quality disparity between factions8 Feb 2014, 00:02 AM The Tiger tank, in my experience, kills or retreats a soviet infantry squad in 4-6 shots. The IS-2 does the same in 2 shots. However, the tiger fires 1.5 times as fast. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Guards as Anti Infantry7 Feb 2014, 05:25 AM Yea, the Guard's AI is from its 4 x mosins. This makes them worse than conscripts and penals if you don't give them the DP (60 muni) upgrade. So you can get a decent AI unit, but at a high cost (360 MP, 60 Muni). The AI of this unit is however, still worse than an upgraded grenadier squad (240 MP, 60 Muni) but it compares with the no flamethrower penal squad. Maxims and conscripts with molotovs are much more cost effective at AI. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: sniper / guards rifle6 Feb 2014, 15:14 PM I know. But the solution is obvious (albeit expensive) to me- use sniper to counter sniper, or mortar halftrack. Anyway, it's an expensive strat for the Soviet side as they've just sunk 720 MP into the duo. The rest of their infantry will be conscripts and maxims. Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2014, 06:28 AMwooof the whole point is to use snipers to kill any german inf and you have guards to protect against t2 vehicles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sniper / guards rifle6 Feb 2014, 06:08 AM Sniper/Maxim and Maxim/conscript are more cost effective...... I don't find Guards being as useful as Shocks. They are expensive.. effectively 360 MP, 60 munitions (DPs are a must). I usually get only 1 them per game, and sometimes 2. Both units are expensive specialist infantry but shocks are so useful until the German tanks & FHT start appearing. In: COH2 Balance
