Thread: Mg42 constantly humiliated15 Dec 2014, 21:56 PM But what can you do? I dont use the mg42 for the same reason i reject using the m2 late game. Enemy infantry can walk in front of it and kill it. 25% increased received accuracy sure doesnt help mg's at all, and LMG's when surpressed still do enough damage to kill the gunner, and then the next guy up, and then the squad/blob/hell gets unsuppressed and finishes it off. Tactically, i find the mg42 traverse a bit too slow... If you want damage, thats what incendiary rounds are for. (Yes, the gunner has to fumble for the magazine, but then there should also be manual reloads if the player wants to manually reload an mg. Could slightly help...) I also heard an idea to make suppressed squads crawl to the mg slower, but let them crawl backwards/away as they normally do. In: Lobby
Thread: Where Company of Heroes went wrong.15 Dec 2014, 06:09 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2014, 05:58 AMRupert Key to having a good game : Devs should ONLY listen to high ranked players. With a post like that, you'd be somewhat surprised that that statement wouldnt exactly be in your favor... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?15 Dec 2014, 02:53 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2014, 02:23 AMRupert Just so you know received accuracy modifiers are a balance tool, not a history simulation feature. It's actually a nerf from their armor which they previously had. Which also points out that obers should be dealt with explosives -which are more than common in game- not small arms. Not exactly a nerf. LMG's, HMG's and the like usually have more than one penetration, which allows them to negate armor. With reduced recieved accuracy, obers can dodge those bullets and fare better than they would normally if they had armor. And if you assume that it is right that obers can not be countered by other infantry, then i dont know what to say. Of course... That is a completely rational answer. Devote fuel to kill a manpower only unit. Nothing wrong with that. Screw bothering with conventional methods that apply to everything else for good reason. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 damage15 Dec 2014, 01:58 AM This isnt an Ostheer thread, but... Pioneers could be a bit cheaper. They are Ostheer's only source of repair while every other faction can get a few different ways to repair vehicles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?13 Dec 2014, 04:21 AM Economic handicaps only affect the timing of units, not their prices. An OKW panther costs the same as an Ostheer panther, but since OKW gets reduced fuel, it comes out later(later than it could be, but still much earlier than Ostheer)and the fuel is more expensive. So OKW vehicles are more or less priced around a normal price for anyone else. Unless you think OKW gets cool things for free. And what would be the point of a resource penalty if units are proportionately better to match the resource penalty? Seriously. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Laggy menus13 Dec 2014, 03:11 AM I also have strangely laggy menu screens as well as laggy screens when setting up a game. I have to wait to allow the lag to pass, but i have no idea why this happens. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet Air Power Tactics12 Dec 2014, 21:56 PM In order for it be effective, it would be best against Ostheer, and Soviet stock tiering and stock tanks would need a rework... Late game makes you need call in tanks. Otherwise, i would love Soviet paratroopers. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: IS2 since rework to at nade pen is now op12 Dec 2014, 17:55 PM Is-2 also has worse accuracy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?11 Dec 2014, 17:55 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2014, 17:39 PMRupert The panther problem is more of an issue with OST teching costing way too much fuel+slower tech time+build time. Not to mention OST panther costs 135 fuel and OKW panther costs 175, so from the second on OST is cheaper especially if you count in the resource handicap. Uh... Ost panther is 175 fuel, and attempting to go for it at a reasonable time gets you overrun by enemy armor. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Puma Smoke Ability11 Dec 2014, 03:22 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2014, 03:11 AMAladdin How about M20 not having smoke before vetting up? Is that fair? I don't think so either Why would that not be fair? Id like to think that that should apply to everything. In: COH2 Balance
