Thread: About official forums 30 Mar 2016, 21:52 PM A boxed PC game in 2016?! Relic has clearly pulled a Merlin here and is aging backwards in time. I look forward to DoW3 being released on 500 floppy disks for all DOS and Integer BASIC systems. In: Lobby

In defense of the 120 it does have a longer range than the 81mm. That is about the only good thing going for it, however, since the 120 has the exact same damage properties as the 81mm and worse accuracy. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Vehicles passing through each other22 Mar 2016, 19:59 PM Vehicles have always lacked proper collision boxes when moving. The second you hit the stop command and the vehicle stops it gains an appropriately sized it's collision box. This means that in order to block enemy vehicles your own vehicle needs to be stationary.

This commander being made useful doesn't mean the Ostheer one also shouldn't see some attention people, take it easy. Agreed. It's a good idea and we need to see more commanders on all factions made viable. It's unfortunate that so few commanders are really viable at the moment. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Vodka traps15 Mar 2016, 19:54 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2016, 18:39 PMJonny W I want to see the russian engineers have the ability to place out vodka-traps at capture points. Then an enemy try to take a point with this trap they will be drunk for 3 minuts and lose there ability to aim (they will lose 75% to hit there targets). What you think about this suggestion? Plot Twist: The vodka-trap works on your own conscripts as well. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 50 cal should be a vehicle killer15 Mar 2016, 19:46 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2016, 03:47 AMThoseDeafMutes No AP rounds or silliness, just give us a pen buff. Currently Pen of 2 at mid range, versus 222's 9 armor (1 in 4.5 shots penetrates) and PzII's 55 armor (1 in 27.5 shots penetrates, although I'm not sure what the threshold for rounding down to 0 is...) Buff to 5 pen. Would mean 1 in 10 shots hits the Luchs, not a great ratio but not terrible either. The 222 would be seriously threatened with 1 in 2 shots penetrating. Nice job crunching the numbers.

Thread: 50 cal should be a vehicle killer14 Mar 2016, 23:14 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2016, 22:54 PMJoeH Good suggestion, but only if we nerf Rifles in the process. You cant have the cake AND eat it. The issue with that line of thinking is that the .50 is locked behind an optional tier of tech. Since USF tech is designed under the assumption that the player will skip either LT or Captain tier it means the player won't have access to the .50 half of the time. In turn you cannot balance a core unit based on the assumption that the .50 will always be present. Think about it a different way. If the USF player went LT tier for a .50 then no pack howie is likely to make an appearance unless he delays his armor significantly. That itself is enough trade-off for a functional .50 imo.

Thread: 50 cal should be a vehicle killer14 Mar 2016, 22:07 PM Could just flatly buff the pen on the .50. Right now it has a pen of 2 while the Kubel has an armor of 4.5 and the 222 has an armor of 9. This means that it's only doing about 44% it's normal dps to a Kubel and 22% to a 222. Since the average dps of the .50 is 18.2 this means it isn't killing any light vehicles in a timely manner atm. Another option that could help would be to increase range of the .50 by 5. Currently it has a range of 45 and as a result is prone to being rifle naded to death. If it could fire from further out (50+ range) it would be more effective at locking down infantry outside of rifle nade range and would reward scouting by the US player. This would also be historically accurate since the .50 had a longer range than lower caliber mgs. Lastly you could just increase the crew to 5 men as that would help with the survivability issues the MG suffers from. In: COH2 Balance
