Wow, what an amazing and deeply thought-provoking question. I had to sit down and really clear my mental calendar just to absorb the full philosophical depth of what you’re asking here. So let me try and unpack this majestic brain boulder you've rolled into the middle of the internet street.
Now, when you say "the relic boss," I can only assume you're referring to the CEO or perhaps some shadowy overlord figure who lurks in the subterranean lava chambers of Relic Entertainment, guarding the sacred vaults of Company of Heroes assets. Maybe he wears a crown made of circuit boards and sips Red Bull from a goblet forged in the fires of Mount CrunchTime.
Now, to the meat of the question: does this omnipotent being—let’s call him Sir Relicus, Wielder of Payroll—reach into his own personal fanny pack (stitched from the skin of underperforming RTS titles) to pay the salaries of the hundreds of employees working under him? An excellent question, truly. I mean, I too like to imagine billion-dollar companies function like lemonade stands where Timmy just uses his birthday money to pay Chad for helping stir the sugar.
See, in the intricate, totally not confusing at all world of capitalism and corporate finance, companies typically make money by selling products or services. And instead of the boss just pulling bills from his wallet like he’s buying snacks from a vending machine, the company allocates funds—crazy, right?—from revenue, budgets, and financing. It’s almost like there's a system for this sort of thing. Wild.
So no, Sir Relicus probably does not open his Gucci coin purse and slap a crumpled $20 on the HR desk every Friday. But I adore the childlike innocence in the question. It’s like asking if Elon Musk uses Venmo to tip SpaceX interns.
Anyway, keep asking the big questions. Perhaps next time we can tackle whether the janitor at NASA launches the rockets when the engineers are on lunch break.
Warmest regards and with no detectable sarcasm whatsoever,
Someone who is now deeply reconsidering their presence on this forum.
You're absolutely spot on – the King Tiger feels like a huge letdown right now, especially when it’s supposed to be the apex predator of German armor. The whole point of investing in the King Tiger is to get something that can hold its own against whatever the Allies throw at it, but instead, we’re seeing it flounder against everything from dedicated TDs to massed infantry with anti-tank options. It’s frustrating because the King Tiger should feel like a powerhouse, not a burden. Not?!
I think your proposed buffs make a lot of sense, particularly the movement speed and reload time. Even a modest speed increase would give it a fighting chance to position effectively without feeling like it’s always two steps behind the action. That alone could give it a lot more survivability, making it feel less like an easy target. Amirite?
The armor scaling suggestion is on point, too. The King Tiger should definitely have some resilience against lighter AT options – if it’s supposedly the king of the battlefield, it shouldn't get shredded by anything with an anti-tank designation. A bit more durability on its flanks and rear would be huge, especially when you consider how expensive it is to deploy. No one wants to see their "endgame" tank torn apart by Shermans and rear shots from weaker weapons. What a joke!
A recon ability or a flare option could add some much-needed versatility as well. It’d fit the narrative of the King Tiger being a battlefield presence, rather than just an oversized target. Even something simple, like a stationary vision boost, would let players plan and anticipate better.
Lastly, you’re right about the cost. As it stands, the King Tiger is just too pricey for what it brings to the table, especially when it gets countered so easily. Either reducing its cost or improving its survivability would go a long way in making it feel like a worthwhile investment.
Totally agree – the King Tiger should be a feared unit. Right now, it feels like we’re paying a premium for a tank that just doesn’t live up to its legendary status. Buffing it in these ways would finally let it live up to the reputation and give OKW players a real reason to deploy it. Make coh2 great again
When you say 'You', do you mean me or donofsandiego? I mean give the guy a break, he already permabanned al chinese players. What more can he do to please you?
Let me clarify my initial reply in a more serious manner
Do you believe the issue you seemingly want solved, would be best presented at an almost dead community driven forum with no current official ties to Relic whatsoever?
Your best option here is to go to the officials Coh2 forums or to Relics Discord to voice your problem to the people that can actually deal with the problem at hand, or at least provide u with an answer that isnt based on conjecture
Is this one of those Vetlolcake/Vipper/Reverb aliases?
Quick look through ur post history seems you've had longer standing issues with the Chinese people. At this point, i'd say your best bet is to contact the Embassy in Beijing and not hope for the coh2.org forum warriors to alleviate your problems
That is what I enjoy the most about being banned from Coh. I dont need to be a dick and try to hurt Relic. They will do it themselves just like they always do.
I could make 20 accounts, VPN, and hack all day long being toxic to kill off the user base. But Relic will do it for me. In fact, I am the one asking them not to hurt themselves instead of being the dick.
Who is the more level headed mature person?
It's becoming a bit sad now Rosbone. You are contradicting yourself and you can't even see it through the manifested resentment towards everything Relic. Please for your own peace of mind - move on and focus on positive, new, other things. Use your talents for something good, something new, and something that fuels your creativity instead of communicating depressing stuff like this which ultimately leads nowhere.
