Thread: Tanks15 May 2015, 14:50 PM Jump back to quoted post14 May 2015, 18:42 PMNuclear Arbitor i want all tanks to have a 90 degree LoS like the jpIV by default and top gunners can make it a full 360. In reality what was the vision like for tanks to see behind them? I'm talking without someone up top of course. I imagine they had rear vision slits/periscopes of some kind at least? It would certainly make things interesting if they couldn't see behind them at all. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why isnt Lend Lease meta?12 May 2015, 15:01 PM I find this a really interesting commander, I feel like it's almost there to make T1->T4 really viable. You can go T1 and get Penals and Conscripts, or Cons and Sniper etc, then you get a Dshk MG to make up for no Maxim. To make up for no AT Gun, you can get to T4 fast and if they have light vehicles, go for an SU-76 supported by Conscripts to repair/Snare vehicles trying to flank or if they are holding off for heavy armor, save for a SU-85. While you can't build T3, you get the units you're missing out on becasue you can still call an M5 and get the Sherman instead of the T34. You really have almost every option available to you that you would need, minus a few things like Mortars and AT guns (which isn't bad, because the SU76 provides both barrages and AT support). As for assault guards, I usually build one if I'm floating resources and use them in the vehicle to hit cutoffs or their fuel, generally try to use them to zip around the flanks of the map in their half track and harass the enemy and then run away again.

Thread: How to make unloved units viable?5 May 2015, 19:14 PM For the SU76 I would just make it significantly cheaper. I feel like this should be a spam unit, since it does everything but not very well. Just make up for it in numbers. If they reduced the fuel cost to 50 and maybe the MP cost a bit, but left everything else the same I would try to use it. You could have, like 5 of them out at any given time in that situation.

Thread: Grey Goo - From C&C Creators26 Jan 2015, 17:01 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2015, 02:13 AMdOPEnEWhAIRCUT As far as playing this game competitively, sure, I can see that. In all honesty, for a game to be "competitive" it has to be stripped down and made to be bland and symmetric, that way there is no "RnG" or wildcards that affect game play (or, everyones favorite buzzword, it has to be in perfect "Balance"). I disagree entirely that a game has to be bland to be balanced, as well as that RNG inherently makes games more 'exciting'. Having said that the feedback I'm getting from this sounds like it is kind of bland in the gameplay department and balancing compared to CoH Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2015, 11:51 AMSputnik SNIP Thanks for this excellent post! It's nice to hear some honest feedback based on multiplayer (which is the the legs of games like this for me usually). It's a shame to hear the factions are basically cookie-cutters of each other, I was really expecting them to be very varied based on their aesthetics and base design. I don't mind a slower paced RTS that focuses on macro and base building but if it's going to be the same units and very same-y gameplay I'll wait for a price drop. It does seem like most people playing this game are all more interested in the single player campaign and comp stomp 4v4 matches and the like, probably very casual players. Which is fine, I'm sure it's a nice single player game, but that's not what I'm looking for. In: Other Games
Thread: Grey Goo - From C&C Creators23 Jan 2015, 21:42 PM Apologies for the Necro-Bump, but this game out today. I'm tempted to pick it up, but want to see what the multiplayer is like first. Most reviews/impressions seem to focus on single player. Anyone here planning on getting it/got it and wants to share their thoughts? In: Other Games
Thread: Remember when21 Nov 2014, 20:13 PM I remember people complaining that SU-85s had warp speed and were stupidly strong. I remember Penal battalions costing 360MP I remember Engineers costing 240MP I remember RNG rifle nades being fired at a full health building and causing it to collapse. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Repair Speed5 Nov 2014, 19:40 PM Do Sturmpios still get a repair speed boost with the minesweeper? Anyone know the difference in numbers? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So, I want to watch 'Fury......'31 Oct 2014, 12:53 PM I saw it last weekend, I thought it was pretty good for the most part, didn't really play the Americans overly heroic or white-wash the sorts of things going on during wartime. The tank battles had me scratching my head a little bit sometimes, but were mostly good. Then the last battle just shits the bed and nearly ruins the whole movie. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Post patch unit performance observations30 Oct 2014, 17:06 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Oct 2014, 15:28 PMCadoc This is in line with my experiences from the 1v1s I've done today. I had a P4 kill 4 out of 5 riflemen in an almost full health squad, all with a single shot. I'm not sure if this is a good change or not, but it's definitely a huge one. If the P4 is going to be so god-like at killing infantry is there ANY reason to buy an Ostwind anymore? Apart from being paranoid of P47 strikes? In: COH2 Gameplay
