Thread: Well that stream was... sigh18 Jan 2015, 00:55 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2015, 00:46 AMJackiebrown "What do they give up on each side?" And thats the completely wrong question. What should be asked when confronted about performance of the bazooka vs. panzerschreck is: "What kind of enemy are you facing when wielding such a weapon?" and "what are the alternatives/how effective are the alternatives?". Who cares about a measly rifle, and upgrading panzergrenadiers that have stgs - its not like you were going to use your panzerschreck holding squad to assault the enemy infantry anyways. In: Lobby
Thread: The Stream was't that bad!18 Jan 2015, 00:44 AM One really big complaint: Random 4v4 matchmaking + serious Q and A about balance/future= inconclusive answers that creates even more questions. In: Lobby
Thread: Well that stream was... sigh18 Jan 2015, 00:32 AM There should NOT have been a Q and A when Peter was playing the game. He himself complained that he couldnt focus on giving out answers while playing the game. Aside from extremely bad justifications in response to the questions. Ridiculously inconclusive answers: "Why can the flak halftrack penetrate medium tanks (schwerer panzer HQ)" Answer: "Why shouldnt it?" "When will USF get heavy tanks?" Answer: "Isnt the sherman bulldozer heavy enough?" Then someone asked why Soviets have weak AA and Peter said that it was a purposeful disadvantage (i myself never considered that it was on purpose), and then he answered "Why do zergs need to hatch from eggs?"... What? facepalm In: Lobby
Thread: Where is USF air superiority?16 Jan 2015, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jan 2015, 17:53 PM__deleted__ The majority (2/3s+) of German tanks in the West were lost to fuel/parts shortages, and therefore abandonment rather than kinetic Allied action. That is a point the already quoted Niklas Zetterling nicely makes btw, and where Allied airpower came into its own. Its effect was not so much in the destruction of tanks themselves, but rather in interdiction, destruction of soft-skinned vehicles, etc. which were paramount to keeping actual armor going and supplied. The ordeal of Panzer Lehr in its move to Caen illustrates that German predicament nicely, from the beginning of the Normandy campaign the Germans could only really conduct operational road/rail movement by night lest they risked severe harassment. Makes sense. German armor could only be stopped through indirect methods as mentioned. That doesnt exist in CoH2 because it would be super annoying for someone to deal with. I think before WFA release, OKW functioned in a manner that required a lot of work to keep up in the game? But that mechanic was removed and the advantages remained. :/ USF is very strong in 1v1 and 2v2, but they get weaker within team games where the enemy can hole up and amass armor (in which many people like playing big team games :/ ). USF was not designed for big team games where it most likely loses to common heavy armor... I blame design once again, and it seems to me that USF was made without Ostheer in mind as well... I dont see how any of it could be fixed as i expected better from a company that has many years of experience in the matter and had already designed 6 factions prior... In: COH2 Gameplay

There are too many variables to 'balance' micro. Look at SC2. Protoss has barely required any micro in some match ups, much to the dismay of many players, but the game is still relatively well balanced. As long as the overall macro/meta makes sense, thats all that matters. Micro is what tips the scales of balance IMO and where the excitement of player experience, speed, skill comes into play. Probably. -It is impromptu design choices which destroys balance and all other established order. In: COH2 Gameplay
