Thread: New Commander concepts.27 Oct 2018, 13:25 PM @Crecer: I think the main problem with your airborne commander is the T-38. Relic wont add new models. I would welcome any new weapon for the game but cant see Relic spending money and time into new weapons and animations. So any new commander had to be done with ingame weapons and content. So that is the reason why i tried to look into the models and think about new combinations. For the soviet airborne commander it should be easy to implement the 45mm at gun with adjusted stats (to be honest i think the ingame model is the M-42 version) or other heavy weapons like soviet MGs, Mortar ect ect. To be honest there is no soviet glider at all so at the end would need reskinned british gliders. I'm still hoping for the soviet airborne forces because out of my view it is one of those red army units everyone has forgotten. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commander concepts.27 Oct 2018, 10:04 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Oct 2018, 09:46 AMSmartie Thx, i will try this later! Btw, after analysing the order of battle (Summer 1943) its pretty clear that a doctrine centered around the "Großdeutschland" theme should not include a Tiger. The divison had only medium tanks at this time. [...] Sorry. Thats not correct. PzGrenDiv GD received 14 Tiger tanks. All Tigers were ready for combat at the start of Operation Zitadelle (Kursk offensive). Furthermore the Division had already received the new Panther tanks. All in all it is the Elite Division of the german army so they army high command was interested in supplying as much weapons as possible to the division (The Heer had no other "Elite division"). But i wont use the name ingame. We had similar discussions inside the Eastern Front Mod Team because we had made a doctrine around GD too. CoH is a game so i dont have any problems with a doctrine/commander with a historical background but i think the game shouldnt use any specific unit/division names to prevent any political debate (e.g. someone here remembering the old discussions with Obersoldaten and their old name ).

For the Ostheer i dont have any ideas at the moment because they had already a lot of weapons. To be honest i was thinking about creating a soviet "urban defense like" doctrine with a reskinned soviet 45mm at gun (German 3,7cm Pak 36) and a reskinned soviet 120mm mortar (german 12cm Granatwerfer 42). But i haven no idea about the other abilities :-( In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Map Pool Update22 Oct 2018, 19:59 PM We had a lot of different maps in the map pool but most of this community maps were dropped by the community (because "community maps are crap, not balanced, not well done", ect ect). So at the moment the map pool will be enforced for the pvp gameplay. No one was interested in those experiments. Now it is too late. Relic has dropped the game. Tric tried to do some maps with pvp players but most of the maps were small 1on1/2on2 maps. Large maps like 3on3 and 4on4 will need a lot of time and i wont invest those time because at the end the map wont be played, no one will balance it and it wont be implemented. So it is a nice idea but i'm afraid that it is way too late for those experiments. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: About soviet shock troops in WWII21 Oct 2018, 15:23 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2018, 08:51 AMVipper Shock troops in real life and through out history are by definition offensive oriented units yet I am pretty sure that in occasion they found themselves defending positions and probably very effectively since they where elite troops. But soviets had no shock infantry in ww2. They had shock armies (reenforced armies for breakthrough offensives). Your "ingame shock units" are CQC-Specialists. Relic had named them for unknown reasons "shock troops" but they are nothing compared to historical "shock units" like german ww1 Stoßtruppen or other "shock units". In: Lobby
Thread: About soviet shock troops in WWII19 Oct 2018, 13:55 PM I dont agree Because units arent "offensive" or "defensive" in general. You can be on the defense but that doenst mean that you can start local offensives to counterattack the enemy. So I cant see any problems with those abstract doctrinal themes because offensive/defensive is based on the situation. E.g. when u look into your Stalingrad example; Soviets were on the defense "on the strategic level" but there were a lot of local skirmished were both sides started to attack or to defend the position. So it would be better to criticise the doctrine at all (e.g. there is bad synergy between the callins and abilities). It is useless to attack "unit names" because they were added for gameplay reasons (distinguish units) and not because Relic planed a ww2 simulation. In: Lobby
Thread: About soviet shock troops in WWII19 Oct 2018, 12:56 PM To be honest i'm a bit curios. When Vipper has problems with the term "shock units" in "urban defense" why is he not complaining about Panzerfüsiliere (a term exclusive used for PzGrenadiers of the Großdeutschland-Division) and Obersoldaten and/or Rear Echelons In: Lobby
Thread: About soviet shock troops in WWII18 Oct 2018, 21:46 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2018, 21:20 PMskyshark these names aren't nearly as silly as some of the brit ones: Advanced Emplacements? Show me the historical basis for THAT. I guess that the doctrine "Advanced Emplacements" is the result of the historical situation of Mongomery's tactic to wait in front of Caen until the Wehrmacht had been dug in At the end all those names and design features were done to help players to recognise and to evaluate/judge the units. The unit has to work in the doctrine concept. Relic could have named the shock units "soviet infantry type A/B/C/ect". As long as they were balanced you should be happy with those units and doctrines. At the end it is a game and not a ww2 simulation. In: Lobby
Thread: Battlefield V WW2 - SEPT 4 - Open beta.11 Sep 2018, 13:11 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2018, 12:21 PMFichtenMoped I don't get why every one is ranting that hard about the fucking historical accuracy. Apart from that (and yes I admit it feels kinda weird at times) this is exactly what I expected from BF V. I had fun when playing the beta and it gave the good old Battlefield feeling again. Yes the Stg is pretty OP but this gn is so much fun tbh I loved it I am really considering to buy it! +1 I liked the Beta. Okay. I dont like Narvik (the map isnt good) but i think BF V is a solide and fun game. I cant see all this "historical problems". Sure. Anyone can use any weapon because of balance and the "i want to unlock weapons" mentality but hey. It is a game. When StG is my preferred weapons i will be happy when i could use it all the time. I cant wait for the release In: Other Games
Thread: Battlefield V WW2 - Reveal on May 23rd. Official.23 Aug 2018, 15:26 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2018, 13:35 PMFelinewolfie Overall, it seems like it'll be more of a Battlefield Heroes :/ Not "WW2 BF" and more of a "Clowns in WW2 BF" Also, only 2 maps? Really?! Only 2 factions? Ouch. Esp since you keep the same character/uniform if you play Axis or British. Tiger in 1940 ? Churchill in 1940 ? SturmTiger and long barrel Pz4 in 1940 ? STG44, G43 in 1940 ? In some ways, it reminds me of Call of Duty : World at War Call of Duty : WW2 also doesn't care what side you play weapon-wise. I played some rounds at Gamescom and i cant see any BF Heroes/Clown gameplay in BF V. To be honest i have the feeling that the game is way slower compared to CoD and/or BF1. For the weapons it is the same story. StG44 at BF1942 El Alamein? That is a stupide argument. Sure. There was no Tiger and Churchill in 1940 (Or a Churchill gun carrier at all ) but there was no ground battle in Rotterdam too. It is a mp game to entertain players. BF is not a simulation. So there is no side restriction to enforce the weapons pool and to limit balancing. There are Czech weapons, prototypes and fictional attachments (red dot scope, ect ect). And i think we will see way more weapons and equipment in BF V like italian and/or japanese guns and vehicles. Another aspect is the map pool: Sure. We have seen only two maps so far but the Gamescom trailer had already shown a potential Africa themed map. To be honest i dont think we wont see only 2 maps when the game will be released. I would guess that BF V map pool will be around the size of the BF1 launch pool. Sure. I had played BF V for ~40min at Gamescom so it is no "the best" position for a highly qualified analysis/comment but i think BF V could be a good/solide BF game. I think everything you need is already part of the release version. At the end the fate of BF V will be decided by the amount of content and content release time table. Furthermore those criticism about the weapon arsenal, the skin pool (female soldiers - oh my good. It is a video game and not a war simulation) and map pool is misleading. BF wasnt a war simulation. It is a action based online multiplayer shooter. BF V must deliver those aspects first. In: Other Games
