Thread: Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces Alpha Infographic16 Jul 2015, 15:43 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2015, 09:32 AMRaindrop So Brits aren't that OP as some peaple suggested 51% win rate. Or maybe players didn't knew how to play them. That's probably across all game modes, maps and commander choices. That number is as meaningless as it is trivial. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Idea how to repair industry...14 Jul 2015, 20:43 PM Here's a novel idea: Replace the mp-to-fuel conversion with a decrease in popcap of all vehicles. Something like -1 or -2 popcap per vehicle. -It would scale fairly well into late-game without being game-breaking. -Rewards vehicle preservation by making them more cost-effective over a long life-span. -Still maintains the spirit of the Soviet War Machine.

Thread: Side Armor Bounces13 Jul 2015, 21:59 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 21:46 PMOversloth If I understand you now correctly, that shell placement is the factor and not tank positioning, my same idea would still work to provide more consistent flanking rewarding, and prevent strange side bounces. I don't see any real problem making it a cone instead of 2 uniform boxes. 1. The current model doesn't take direction into account, so a cone would not change anything unless I missed something. 2. If I was in charge of Relic, I would not want to spend money redesigning the damage model at this point knowing full well I would have to spend even more further down the road to balance it. I would save that for another game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Side Armor Bounces13 Jul 2015, 21:42 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 21:10 PMOversloth The core issue for me, is flanking an enemy vehicle, and because I'm 91 degrees off its front, all my shots still count as hitting the frontal armor, whereas if I was 2 degrees off set in the other direction, all the shots would of been rear. Actually no. It's not about where your tank is in relation to the enemy tank but about where the shot lands. You can be 10 degrees off the front of the tank and land a rear shot because the shell hits the back half of the tank. Remember, there's a scatter value. Your tank doesn't shoot at the center of its target. Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 21:10 PMOversloth I just don't want shells with 130+ mm's of penetration bouncing on 40-50mm thick side armor, because that's not rewarding me for flanking. I could care less if it was simulation quality. Why do you keep bringing up armor thickness then? You may not want a rear shot to bounce but that has nothing to do with how the game is coded. The Panther has 320.0 frontal armor and 110.0 rear armor. T34 has 120.0/100.0/80.0, near/mid/far penetration values. The chance to penetrate the rear armor is 120/110, 100/110, 80/110 at their respective range. Those are pretty good chances. But remember that unless you're facing the Panther squarely in the rear, your shot can actually end up hitting the front half of the tank which would yield much lower penetration values.

Thread: The future of CoH2 theory crafting 9 Jul 2015, 17:48 PM Well the balance part of it is no surprise. I wouldn't get too worked up about the animations and graphics though. Especially if the goal is to increase "authenticity", whatever that means, instead of performance. In: Lobby

Thread: Do not be so disappointed!17 Jun 2015, 21:14 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2015, 21:07 PMUlaire Minya I just don't understand why they didn't just put the whole damn thing in at once. Some of these changes lose context without the others. I'm happy with the more conservative approach actually. There were obvious problems with the rescinded changes what with some units or tiers becoming less attractive. What remains is still significant and a step in the right direction. In: Lobby
