Thread: Looking for people to play 3v or 4v 4 Feb 2016, 04:40 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Feb 2016, 04:09 AMfarcus Hey everyone, not really "new" to COH2, but some of my old buddies have drifted off and i usually prefer to play teamgames so if you're looking for a new buddy to play with let me know. add me YouMadBro?, skill level intermediate. Hey man, feel free to hop on the Angry Bears teamspeak (theangrybears.com) and play with some friendly Bears! Our only requirements are 1) you have to be at least 18 2) don't be an asshole 3) have a decent understanding of the game. it sounds like you have #3 down pretty well but I can't make any judgement on the first two.

He's too busy implementing the epic quality intel bulletins. https://www.coh2.org/topic/48458/for-relic-epic-intel-bulletins That thread is shit and offers nothing constructive. Quit promoting it and do something worthwhile with your time pls. If you want to make a thread like that, put it in Scrapyard.

Thread: OKW February hotfix wishlist3 Feb 2016, 19:04 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2016, 04:05 AMMr. BugCollector Kubelwagen; Arguabay the most disgusting iteration of this broken troll unit. STURMS STURM, WHILE THE KUBEL GRABS THE WHOLE MAP, FU! A fuel cost of 20 is anticipated. Or the removal of capping ability. Sturmpioneers; They shouldn't wipe out full health expensive units. I know the voice acting is cool and it is cool to yolo with them and watch your opponent drop like fly but it is not 'cool' to face them that early in game. Let's get rid of the "badassness" cheese and leave it to action superhero movies. Volks; If they upgrade to shrecks then their kars should be replaced with that of support crews, IE a dummy kar with zero accuracy. If they are going to turn into a soley AI unit then their cost should be increased to 280MP. No reason for them to snipe USF RM from such a long range. Luchs;Too much hitpoints allows it to be used like a medium vehicle, not much micro is needed and it is all rewards and absolutely zero risk. Flame Nade; Remove it from this cheapss, annoying as fuck unit so HMGs, use of cover or buildings and stuff like that could have a purpose to exist. List yours please. The patch is about to drop soon, or mid February to be exact. How about instead of flaming on every thread you post in, you create a constructive opinion using facts such as unit/weapon stats, replays, high-level players' streams, etc. Also, please spell correctly and try your best to create coherent sentences. Maybe English isn't your first language, that's fine, but it's quite hard to follow what you're writing here other than arguing that okw is OP as hell. Now, Soviets do well against OKW if you get maxims. USF dont' have a problem if you get M1919s on your riflemen. USF do very well against Ostheer. Just put smoke everywhere. If you think the Luchs is OP, well, let me tell you, in infantry company, you've got access to mines. In Armor company, you've got access to mines if you get an assault engineer. If you build an M20, you've got access to mines. When you go captain you get a bazooka. If you put a RE into your m20, then get your captain, you have three bazookas. There's a lot of stuff you can do as USF and it can be quite fun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ultimate Balance - Allow Mirror Matchup3 Feb 2016, 06:47 AM Mirror matches would just be bad... We can't have super Aryan brothers fighting each other over mere scraps of territory, but defending the Reich from the communist pigs and the oppressiveness of democracy. But no, really, no mirror matches. It would fuck balance up. Things like AT gun penetration/damage would have to be changed. HP on vehicles/buildings would have to be homogenized as well as damage, pen, armor values. So, USF 57mm AT guns is ok against german armor, but it's fucking great against USF armor. So to make the cost balance, you'd need to either change prices against each faction or adjust the armor/hp/damage of every single vehicle in the game. So, while Relic just has to look at German vs. Allies things when comparing balance, they'd have to add two/three factions when concerning balance decisions as well. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Panzer Tactician Smoke is outright broken2 Feb 2016, 07:31 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2016, 06:14 AMMultihog This is a game where 4-man infantry squads can shoot each other for over 10 seconds at point blank range and still have men standing. It's also a game with heat-seeking Panzerschreck rockets. It's all about scale, my friend. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer Tactician Smoke is outright broken2 Feb 2016, 05:52 AM Eh, perhaps the smoke could be changed so it doesn't block line of sight instantly, but after 1-3 seconds but still gives an accuracy penalty (like smoke in vCoH). It is a bit cheesy but to a certain degree it's realistic. That's what the little tubes facing out in different directions are for. I think they also had fragmentation versions to kill infantry but that could be a more modern invention. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sov vs OKW: Broken Match up1 Feb 2016, 07:21 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2016, 06:27 AMThe_Courier Early game vs OKW is Maxims or bust. Conscript spam gets outmuscled by Sturms and Ubervolks, Penals are too expensive for what they do and scale badly, sniper is too expensive, and M3 is Shreck fodder, and going T1 leaves you wide open for Luchs butthurt anyway. SO what I do is get 2 conscripts (for capture/AT nadin') and 2 Maxims, 3 if I suspect some serious Volksblob action. If I am on an urban map, sometimes I get a 3rd Script for eventual PPSHs, but more often I transition into AT nades and AT gun fast to counter the Luchs, with Guards serving as my frontline units. It's still a crapshoot, and I think the matchup favors OKW, but winning is doable. What urban maps in 1v1? Sturzdorf? veto it. La Gleize Breakcout? veto it. Unless if your strat is to spam shocks/cons w/ ppsh, you're going to have a tough time with maxims. Every faction has a tough time in urban maps because the time required to move units out of danger is dramatically decreased because of building entry/exit times and los blockers. Spamming Conscripts hasn't been effective for a few months now. Maybe with Advanced Warfare you can pull it off but it's just a huge mp drain. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sov vs OKW: Broken Match up1 Feb 2016, 05:45 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2016, 05:26 AMMultihog Get 3 maxims and try not to ever lose them. I find conscripts quite worthless at fighting, and only good for merge and AT nade. Use them to merge your maxims if they drop models, then maybe get 2 guard squads (WITH DP!) and make sure to have an AT gun and AT nades by 6:30 in the game to counter a luchs. Having one or two 120mm mortar also helps a lot. 120mm mortars at 13 popcap is broken. But everything else is good! My usual build order is: maxim (x3) conscript (x2) AT gun (if fuel isn't cut) T3 T70 Alternatively, ZSU is good against blobs for suppression, can help if you're being flanked a lot and need mobile suppression against those flanking squads. You can lose the game if you get medics instead of ZiS gun, for example, so it's important to be aware, but I'm sure you already know that Dullahan. Basically, the idea is to think of Maxims as the main infantry squads while any traditional infantry squads are there for support. Also, I'm not aware how players tend to do this, but right clicking maxims to place w/out setting them up can be useful 9/10 times because the maxim will auto face the first target. With good micro you just suppress, move back, then fire at the volks again. But having a second or third maxim around to suppress pins squads faster and allows you to suppress more squads as well. In general, Shock Rifle Frontline is good with this tactic. I had a bunch of replays from December but got patched out In general I would get 3 SU76s from T3, then just wait for IS2. It may be easier to do this same strat w/ Armored Assault (because of radio intercept), but then you lose the elite, high dps shock troops. I also like to get a second engineer to put mines everywhere. In front of doors is quite good especially on certain maps with dominant buildings. It's a savage tactic but it can make ppl rage when their first falls squad gets wiped by a TM-35 or even a trip wire flare In: COH2 Balance
