Thread: Allies is hurting this game for new players.13 Sep 2014, 07:12 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2014, 06:07 AMCannonade Guy in the vid fucks up royally, then blames the game. I don't see anything "enlightening about new players experience" in that at all. I just see a drunk, rather biased, impatient, annoying, whiney, uncooperative guy ranting at the game and blaming it for his own mistakes. +1 When the guy outright states that he will stop recording if he starts to win the game I had to facepalm.

Thread: Overhaul of vcoh2 vet abilities13 Sep 2014, 07:06 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2014, 01:30 AMAerohank You can place flare trip mines while capping a point just as easily as you can just cap the point. All it takes is pressing 1 extra hotkey. People place mines and demo charges all the time while they cap points, flare trip mines are placed just as easily. Once you get the hang of frequently placing flare trip mines, you will probably find yourself thinking "I should place some flare trip mines!" even when you are not capping a point. It's just something that takes some getting used to. Abilities that are fine should not be changed just because players can't be arsed to pour some extra APM in their play. This is not starcraft, you are not constantly maxed out on APM. I think we both agree using trip wire flares is a matter of how good a player's APM and micro is. You can either manage to fit trip wire flares into your micro or not. I am glad you are able to integrate the mines into your gameplay (and I will have to experiment to see if I can as well) but I believe it is safe to say you are the anomaly and not the norm in this regard. My suggestion is to merely increase the ease of use of the mines so that the community at large is better able to take advantage of them. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Overhaul of vcoh2 vet abilities12 Sep 2014, 23:45 PM The reason we rarely see trip wire flares used is because they are still a micro sink. The amount of micro to place a single flare is rarely worth the effect on the battle that flare has. Instead of placing a flare that might kill one or two soldiers IF a squad happens to walk over it those conscripts could be off capping, building green cover, or fighting elsewhere on the map. If trip wire flares were made more potent but also more expensive I think we'd see them a lot more often. Another alternative would be to make trip wire flares function like booby trap point. When a squad walks into the capture point it would detonate the trip wire flare killing a man or two and launching a flare showing you exactly what is trying to cap your point. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Russian IL2 bombing strike ineffective and slow11 Sep 2014, 11:42 AM It is absolutely devastating to everything it hits. You can use it to annihilate static positions or with a little more practice retreating heavy tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: the mechanic of merge11 Sep 2014, 09:16 AM Unless it has changed without my knowing it the conscript entity will take on all the characteristics of the squad it merged into except armor. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Stormpioneers post patch10 Sep 2014, 22:18 PM Since this had kind of morphed into a thread about how range is calculated does anyone have visual representation of what 5-30 range actually looks like in game? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KV-1, good or bad?10 Sep 2014, 08:32 AM The KV-1 is quite a good tank vs medium tanks but the slow speed and under powered gun means it can't fight heavy armor head on and can't flank it like a T34/76. Before the last patch both vehicles used the exact same gun profile as well so there wasn't much point in calling in the more expensive KV-1 unless you had gone T4 and absolutely had to have a front line tank to spot for your SU-85s. With the nerf to the T34/76's rate of fire this patch the KV-1 might be a bit more appealing but I wouldn't hold my breath on it. In: COH2 Gameplay
