I'm not in favor of an HE/AP toggle for the IS-2. Personally I liked the high damage + slow reload that it had originally, though yeah, the RNG probably made too many people frustrated with it.
I do agree with the HE/AP for the ISU though. Given its range it was too mindless just to let it shoot and kill everything without requiring any real attention from the user.
The HE/AP toggle for the sherman makes sense because the toggle allows it to be empowered for its cost through this choice, a scrappy tank that can excel vs inf and support vs armor. The IS-2 is one of the big boys, though. It shouldn't have to worry about that. Just smash everything close and dont expose the rear.
By the way, anybody use the Jagdtiger after the changes? How does it play? |
Oops, wrong thread.
Yeah there have been some PR issues surrounding CoH2, some due to Relic's decisions and others due to the nature of the game as an RTS and its insular community.
Regular, iterative updates will keep me happily playing MP and tossing a couple bucks here and there to Relic for a long time, though. |
You can! |
This is a comment. |
Starting about 7 mins in the raketenwerfer at gun acts a bit weird.
First, it looks like one gun is duplicated into two guns right when the weapon team is killed off.
Second, about a minute later, another gun tries to fire at the enemy but the rocket seems to actually blow up right in front, killing the crew.
Found this while browsing random live games. |
The return of the Tiger Ace
Coincidentally, I just played a match with both an ISU and a Tiger Ace. Feel free to see how each one fared.

Earlygame is odd. Strange mg fights and lots of grenades keep the action up east.
Midgame OKW dig in west and push too far with luchs. Wehr saves up for t4, panther, and the slowly approaching tiger ace. US keeps blobbing. Soviet combat engis are dumping mines like cowpies while conscripts are suspicious why they keep having to recrew all the weapons teams.
Lategame the ISU comes out to play with its now toggled HE/AP rounds. See how it works. Oh and a Tiger Ace. See how THAT works. |
I can attest to Porygon's immature in-game chat. He's called me a noob and lucky repeatedly in matches I've won a while ago. Not an upstanding member of this community in regards to in-game conversation. Gotta keep your composure, man!
Pretty exciting match, though.
Dane, based on AA preview footage from Relic, what do you think of the prospect of a Ranger company in multiplayer? |
As someone who can't help but feed off the sweet tears of rage when people get angry, I still think this is a good feature. It doesn't affect me, but new players (or less desensitized players) will likely appreciate avoiding curses and broken english barraged at them.
Mute/ignore would be good, too. |
I remember watching a coh2 streamer at some unusual hour early in the morning. It might have been dane's, not sure.
Suddenly, a wild Noun appears in chat and says hi. With Oprah-like glee he began dishing out download codes in chat for commanders and skins.
I was quick on the draw and got the Wehr Joint Operations Doctrine and a couple of skins. Noun made my day and vanished like a cool glass of milk after a hot pepper. He'll be missed.
