"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

No. If it's the same size of ammunition firing out of the same gun it's going to fire at the same speed unless the machine gun has a way to adjust RPM and the user does so. (Which the MG42 does iirc) It's the mechanism of the weapon that determines RPM. At least for all the machine guns that I know of. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Player Communication improvements for COH323 Sep 2021, 11:33 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2021, 11:08 AMVipper If there is system with bulletins and commanders imo commander should be visible to opponents but bulletins not. Enemies should also not be aware of surrender votes. As long as bulletins stay mostly not impactful, as they are now, I'd agree. It's not like early in CoH2's life where you could stack 3 of the same kind of bulletin and that kind of craziness. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Player Communication improvements for COH323 Sep 2021, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2021, 10:32 AMHannibal Not sure about the VOIP feature. The amount of idiots that often run around in these type of games that think only their strategy is valid and everyone need to follow their great tactical genius is quite high. I'd rather not have them shout into the game all the time. If it is added, there should be a "do not accept VOIP" option to just mute everyone as standard. However, this should also be indicated to the team mates that this player does not hear VOIP. Overall, I think a kind of ping/flag system would be best. Mute functions for text chat and pings should be implemented too. As well as a report button, but that is another topic. I completely agree, I'd like for CoH3 to adopt a Men of War style of ping/ chat system where: 1.) VOIP is available for use if wanted (and you can "deafen" yourself like you said) 2.) The ping system is more fleshed out; in Men of War, there is a "ping" button. If you simply press the button a generic ping happens at your cursor. If you hold it, a radial menu opens up with different, more detailed pings. 3.) (This one could be useful for play between users who speak different languages, in addition to the expanded pings menu) Have a feature like Men of War where you can use chat normally, but if you HOLD the chat button it brings up a radial menu of preset phrases like "Thanks!" "Sorry!" "OK!" and these phrases could perhaps actually be localization strings. So if you use the "Yes!" phrase, English speakers see "Yes!", and German players see "Ja!" and so on. In: COH3 Central

To be fair I think he maybe means that he wants the option to give teammates a unique color but give enemies a uniform red. If that isn't what he's saying then lmao In: COH3 Central

Enemy can always use all sides of a tank trap, while generally edges of a regular sandbag is unusable as a cover. Doesn't hold true for VPs though. For other resource points sure. In: Lobby
Thread: important balance stuff for coh3 up front21 Sep 2021, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2021, 12:31 PMTickTack That's a 1v1 scenario. In other game modes, sovs that go penal find their one AT unit facing early p4's with no AT gun support In 4v4s it's different but what I said still applies. Again,there's nothing stopping you from building T2 to get an AT gun at any time besides bleed. In 4v4s though it's a bit different because you can get away with silly things like relying on your teammate for AT while you stall for a t34 or t34/85. In: COH3 Central
Thread: important balance stuff for coh3 up front21 Sep 2021, 03:25 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2021, 07:13 AMTickTack One of the worst examples of asymmetrical balance is soviets with their AT gun. If you go T1 you lock yourself out of getting the AT gun, unless ofc you have the room in-game to go that route (in which case you're already winning, and it's a case of 'win-more'). Definitely agree with the ideas above that 'Assymetrical balance should NOT be denying one or two factions something'. I disagree. I think it's an example of a good asymmetrical balance. If you go T1 you aren't denied AT guns. You're basically gambling that you can beat out the enemy with superior firepower and inferior numbers. You give up a fast. AT gun and in return you get AT infantry that can hold their own against LVs. And then from there you supplement those troops with tanks that pick up the slack in AT and AI. OR if you realize that you're not going to ne able to do that you still get the option to build T2 and get an AT gun. I think that soviet's choice between T1 and T2 start is GOOD asymmetrical balance. Things like how OKW originally had no nondoc MG or how USF has no nondoc rocket arty are the big offenders.

Rocket arty and insta-wipe tools aren't particularly fun and I only enjoy using them to counter stupid gameplay like blobbing and support weapon spam. In: COH3 Central
Thread: OKW teching clarity21 Sep 2021, 03:13 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2021, 09:48 AMVipper I was talking more about the display of upgrades and bonus which can be a bit confusing to navigate. For instance ostheer reinforcement bonus comes T4 and the user can not see unless he actually build the T4. If the icon was moved in T0 then it would be more player friendly. In similar manner the Soviet one is available in T3 and free in T4 if the icon was move to T0 it might become easier to see and explain. Maybe there could be a separate tab in HQ that has all the upgrade (non related to the building itself)/bonus. The only issue I see with this is that the UI could get crowded but afaik most T0 buildings have plenty of grid space for such info. In: Lobby
