Thread: Why this game is almost balanced14 Jun 2014, 00:07 AM ^^ The thing is, all this balance work applies across the board to all game modes when in fact they should be separate balancing for each. It becomes confused, and I have long suspected that the devs try to satisfy several constituents at once with the balancing. And the maps are a problem too, and keep a good game from being great.

Thread: Why this game is almost balanced13 Jun 2014, 23:51 PM This thread is clearly focused on 1 v 1 balance but there are those of us that play mostly 2 v 2 or 3 v 3, and the priorities tend to differ there. The power of larger squad sizes, indirect fire, and AFV gunfire is reflected differently. The game length is different, and so is the relation of the various arms. This is why I don't think any game style will get optimal balance. What is balance for 1 v 1 becomes non balance for another mode and vice-versa. In 4 v 4, which is basically a battle of attrition with hundreds or over a thousand deaths, the 'most impactful player' is usually the one with the highest kills. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 20:46 PM The video has been taken to private...? hmmph. They identified the Hetzer as a Jagdpanzer IV in the video. It may have been the stand-in, of course. There are functional Jagdpanzer IVs at the Bovington tank museum (UK) I think. Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2014, 19:50 PMMr. Someguy I don't think it was a "mistake", rather than a stand-in. I can't imagine how hard it is to find functioning WW2 vehicles. It looks like they went to a place that had quite a few, I assume they just didn't have any Jagdpanzer IV's, so they took a similar option. The M24 Chaffee is certainly interesting though, since it called by name. Possible doctrinal vehicle? Yep, the M24 may be a doctrinal vehicle. I don't know if it stands in for anything. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 19:49 PM Okay so some confirmation of additional recorded sounds: -M24 Chaffee -Hetzer -Sherman Easy Eight -M47 Patton (huh??) The video mistakes the Hetzer for the Jagdpanzer IV. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 18:46 PM IMO, Are far as core AFV go, Stug III G and Tiger are the cost effective ones. The Panzer IV became an average value and the Panther became a below average value. Like in vcoh, Stug spam (a stug wall) with grens, pak, and support weapons does work. Of course, this conversation is off topic. That much I agree. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 18:06 PM Maybe nerf Ostheer so people will go out to buy OKW? heh heh. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 13:45 PM The Tiger & IS-2 @ the same health means nearly mirrored units..(with the edge going to the IS-2. 70 is on the short side, don't have an opinion on that. PS: Puma sucks at ISU flanking! In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 05:47 AM Volks have no small arms upgrades and come across as being the OKW's version of conscripts. They can upgrade 1 panzershreck. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies13 Jun 2014, 05:00 AM We caught the Sturmpioneer's stats in the OKW preview (there were hints, as well). It's basically a 9 pop cap engineer unit that fight like Panzer grenadiers and will probably be in the same price range. In: Lobby
Thread: ISU-15213 Jun 2014, 04:44 AM The JagdTiger's 128mmm gun HE is comparable to the IS-2's HE shell. Both are superior to the elefant's 88mm and inferior to the 152mm. This IRL relation may be translated in-game. In: COH2 Balance
