Thread: US blob (no LMGs) vs 3 X MG34s - Kappa7 Sep 2014, 23:26 PM What surprises me is how he pulled off a completely different style as Warthrone. Warthrone's grammar was good and he wrote quite differently from how Vetlolcake writes. I mean, it's no master spy operation, but for someone who otherwise lacks subtlety, it's very surprising and actually a little impressive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US blob (no LMGs) vs 3 X MG34s - Kappa7 Sep 2014, 17:35 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2014, 17:30 PMVon Kluge +1 He also received the +50% faster ban bonus along with the +100% longer ban duration Five levels of vet is fitting, as he is axis only (OKW). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US blob (no LMGs) vs 3 X MG34s - Kappa7 Sep 2014, 17:24 PM If Vetlolcake gets "account wiped" and then returns, shouldn't he lose his vet bonuses and just be regular lolcake? I think it's unfair right now that even though he got taken out as Warthrone, right off the bat he still gets the 33% faster trolling bonus, +23% resistance to logic, and -40% "received logic" from attack-move queens.

Thread: Which Commanders are players using (Stats)7 Sep 2014, 13:07 PM The commander stats are probably somewhat even, actually. Most people don't play at a very high level and at lower levels you definitely see things like Festung support all the time. I even see people with NKVD Rifle Disruption in their line up so... The Tiger Docs are overrepresented for sure, mostly because Tigers are simply popular from a "cool!" perspective as well as from a meta perspective. In: Lobby
Thread: Brace Yourselves!!!! Tank Hunter Tatics is comming.7 Sep 2014, 13:00 PM Why would you want PTRS on cons? Seems weird and not that useful. Also a tank hunting doctrine without button or mark target? How is that going to be useful? Not a rhetorical question. Also bombing strikes are infamous for randomly doing nothing for 240 MU so I'm not staking my hopes on that. In: Lobby
Thread: US blob (no LMGs) vs 3 X MG34s - Kappa7 Sep 2014, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2014, 05:23 AMVetLolcake Incorrect. It proves that axis HMGs are inefficient and ineffective in dealing with ALLIED blobs and they only way to stop them is to reach go for artillery which allows Allies to tranition tech and tanks faster than axis AND Axis infantry cannot match the overall quality, cost effectiveness and attrition rate of allied infantry. It proves that axis HMGs are inefficient and ineffective when used horribly. What can I say, I am an attack-move queen. Maybe blobs do walk over MGs too easily ... maybe MG42s/34s need some suppression buffs... I honestly don't know. But this example proves nothing. You judge a unit by how it performs when used correctly, not by how it performs when used in a noobish manner. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US blob (no LMGs) vs 3 X MG34s - Kappa7 Sep 2014, 05:18 AM Look closely at the screenshot. It suppressed them just fine. It didn't kill them because MGs aren't designed to actually kill anything in this game, so despite suffering suppression, the blob of rifelmen killed the blob of MGs. Maxims? Nothing to do with this. They may or may not be broken, but that's a red herring. If your problem is that the Maxim is too much better than start a thread about that. This ridiculous example of how NOT to use the MG34 proves nothing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why no one builds PAKs/Trenches ??7 Sep 2014, 05:14 AM Fixed defenses are great against blots, but players at even a pretty low level know to insta-kill them by simply pressing a button (air strikes) or simply go around, which on some maps is very easy. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: US blob (no LMGs) vs 3 X MG34s - Kappa7 Sep 2014, 05:06 AM Already went into this on the official forum, but to summarize: OP describes how he blobbed 3 MG34s together without any other support to stop a group of about 4 rifleman squad. OP complains that the blob of riflemen defeated his blob of unsupported MG34s. It turns out blobbing MG34s and not using any other units is not a good strategy against anything. Fascinating News. I guess I will have to adjust my Luftwaffe Ground Forces build order. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Higher Rank = Awful gameplay4 Sep 2014, 00:27 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2014, 00:16 AMBulgakov While I agree with the general #ADAPT sentiment in the thread (the only option currently is to counter cheeze with cheeze or accept more losses), I agree with OP (and strongly disagree with Lucas Troy) that CoH shouldn't be about that. I agree with you and the OP, actually. I'd like the game better with no blobbing at all. Just saying, that's not how the game works, and it's not what Relic is going for, so hoping for it is futile. It's like complaining about the lack of cover in SC2. I'd like SC2 better if it had a cover system but I'm not going to bother asking for one. The game is designed to allow for blobbing in some situations. They wouldn't have added the US leaders or the Sturm Officer if they didn't want to make blobbing sometimes viable. In: COH2 Balance
