"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Thread: Are Opel Bliz Trucks a meme?24 Feb 2022, 12:18 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2022, 07:26 AMVipper In sort a clear case of the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, the unit are simply identical. No this is not a clear case of "the grass is greener" this is a clear case of "the ostheer commander has more ways to use a large amount of muni float." I definitely agree that they worded what they said in a confusing way, but they're right. Still, though, it's not like you NEED to use the munis on callins instead of mines, ZIS Barrage, molo, etc. Assault guards have a pretty expensive but useful nade, and the M4C has smoke barrage for muni.

Thread: Are Opel Bliz Trucks a meme?23 Feb 2022, 16:47 PM I think they're only really useful in 1v1s considering that they only provide resource bonuses to the one that bought them. In a teamgame setting cache is superior because everyone gets the boost. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Which is the better Ostruppen doctrine? 23 Feb 2022, 14:56 PM I think Defensive is gack on anything other than 4v4s. Provides little utility for tense 1v1 games. Osttruppen commander, on the other hand, synergizes with osttruppen by giving them supply drop (cashing in on the MP you saved up from playing with truppen and rewarding you with support weapons and resources) and the Arty officer which is just great all-around. Defense is pretty cool with the defensive bombardment thing for 4v4s though. In: Ostheer Strategies

Thread: Perhaps MG 34 needs to be reworked?23 Feb 2022, 14:22 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2022, 14:18 PMBasedSecretary if you're playing against braindead retards who push mg constantly instead of making mortar/sniper maybe you do. But then again, if you actually make it out of level 2 you will realize that most of the time you encounter an MG you retreat then return with a mortar along and that is the end of it. Stop overhyping a game mechanism just because you think it's the only way to victory. Yeah "thousands of points of damage" is a bit hyperbolic but probably fair. "significant MP bleed" is definitely bullshit unless you're playing vs actual bots. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Grittiness before the time of WFA 22 Feb 2022, 18:25 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2022, 17:58 PMSkysTheLimit Not sure if this is directly related, but the game was just better all around before WFA. I can't say that there weren't any balance issues, but it was getting to a good place right before WFA launched WFA launch was horrendous. I'm sure it was a financial success but the balance was pathetic. It felt like whoever designed them had no care at all for the original factions they would be competing against As far as the feel of the game goes I also liked the eastern front aesthetic better. WFA had a borderline cartoony feel to it, and I think their design had something to do with it. STs and KTs being stock units (and absurdly broken back then), riflemen being able to take on pretty much anything thanks to smoke, etc. Just didn't feel as real as EFA I played the COH2013 mod, and I have to say that I can appreciate the design of the gameplay. One thing that was lost between then and now is how weighty and cumbersome the vehicles felt. You can still feel it in the campaign/ ToW missions as well. The vehicles became pretty light and floaty except for a few exceptions like the KT, ST, JT and Brumm. I think that the game definitely had a tonal overhaul between EFA and WFA. I would have enjoyed the game more I think if it had kept the depressing tone instead of partially adopting the somewhat loony cartoony style of CoH1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Raid section and 2x Vickers-K upgrade 22 Feb 2022, 11:45 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2022, 06:07 AMKlement Pikhtura AFAIK you actually can. Maybe I'm tripping, but I recall doing it several times. I remember the balance team acknowledged the issue, but I never played Brits to actually know if they fixed it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Perhaps MG 34 needs to be reworked?21 Feb 2022, 21:33 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2022, 16:57 PMLady Xenarra After seeing the 50th+ squad that continues crawling towards an IAP firing MG 34, I must disagree with this. If you don't respect an MG with mainlines, it's not doing its job. You should be punished hard for continuing to stay getting shot by this thing and the threat of being pinned simply isn't doing it in the MG 34's case. To be fair there's a reason why machine guns changed warfare. This game doesn't do them justice at all hahaha. In: COH2 Balance
