Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.31 Aug 2021, 01:52 AM I haven't checked the stats but I'd wager that there are a larger portion of players playing 4v4s than 1v1s. Granted a portion of those 4v4s might end prematurely due to a leaver but I'd argue that 4v4s is where the majority of the playerbase is and where coh2 is most fun. I understand the argument that CoH2 should be all-around balanced instead of balanced around a subset of elite players solely playing 1v1. I resonate with that because I mainly play team games too but I enjoy the e-sports scene in my spare time. I think an interesting compromise can be made. In DoW2 there is a continuation balance mod made available called DoW2elite which balances the game around 1v1s. Perhaps we can have the same here? Have the balance team balance around team games (because thats where the majority of players are) then have a mod that is focused solely on 1v1s. Anyone wanting completely fair, 50/50 win rate, skillbased 1v1s can download a mod for that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relics Legendary Team Game Matchups28 Aug 2021, 09:51 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2021, 14:20 PMDonnieChan i dont know why people play teamgames. i've leterally had not a single balanced or enjoyable experience in 13 years of dawn of war and coh Team games are definitely more enjoyable when the mmr ranks are similar or if playing in a full group on Discord. There's a certain type of masochism required to play solo matchmaking. Also came here to post my recent matchup omegalul In: Scrap Yard
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA18 Aug 2021, 01:35 AM I think Sturmtiger is fine as it is. It needs to be made a little less durable because you don't really risk all that much from having it pop in and fire at max range then pop out. Its waaaay too durable for its cost and what it does. Lowering range might expose it more to counter-fire but lowering durability while keeping range will for sure make it less overbearing. In: Lobby
Thread: Counterin Sturmtiger in 4v4.23 Jul 2021, 05:14 AM T34s. Just dance around them so they can't shoot you. It also helps to have SU-85 in focused mode to spot the Sturmtiger as its coming. Generally you want to pile on damage on the sturmtiger while its still moving into position to fire. The more damage it takes, the less likely it will stay and fire. If you're putting damage on the sturmtiger while its already firing then its probably too late. Just try your best to dodge the shot then put damage on it so it takes time to repair and come back. Generally any damage on sturmtiger before it fires is good value. In: Strategy Desk

Thread: KT is trash 13 Jun 2021, 03:34 AM The KT can fight everything and its pretty easy to keep it alive. There is really nothing wrong with the KT. The only way you lose it is if you send it off alone or it runs into a mine somewhere close to the front. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My attempt to improve EFA portraits12 Jun 2021, 18:55 PM They look great! Would be nice to see a before/after view too. Personally I'm a big fan of the grainy/worn look of the portraits already in game. It gives the feeling that the commanders are battle hardened veterans. The rough handling is what you would typically expect from soldiers. I think your renewed portraits would make wonderful avatars though where that feeling is not required. In: Lobby
Thread: Can someone please explain how handbrake mode works.29 May 2021, 23:41 PM I always though the half track and M3 handbreak was to prevent it from rotating. When it rotates to fire, you won't be able to reinforce because rotating counts as movement and movement = no reinforce. Activate hand break if you desperately need that extra model to come out.

Thread: Any Keyboard scrollers here?18 May 2021, 07:12 AM Jump back to quoted post17 May 2021, 13:03 PMdonofsandiego you could hold ctrl and press 3, then you would make the ambulance control group 3, then whenever you double-tap 3 you will center on the ambulance. For squads when you give them a control group you will automatically select them when you press the number. I give my engineers the 2 control group. When I pull a damaged vehicle from the frontline I can just hit 2 and then the vehicle and the engineers will go to repair without me even having to see them on the screen. Oh and also if you click a squad while holding ctrl you will select all squads of the same type. If you hold shift you will add squads to the selection. (I.e. you could bind a grenadier and a panzergrenadier to control group 1 without them having to be next to each other.) Great tips! I usually use all my command groups from 1 to 0. 1 - 2 :: Tanks 3 - 4 :: Infantry 5 :: ATG 6 :: Repair squads (REs or Engis) 7 - 0 :: Artillery or indirect I find double clicking the ambulance faster than reaching over to 0 for it, just IMO though. You can also use tab to scroll through the units in your selection or simply by clicking them in the middle-bottom. Helps to retreat a single squad. Shift clicking the squad will remove it from the selection too. Useful if you have one damage squad in a selection. Click damage squad to move to ambu, shift click it out of the group.

Thread: Why do Axis Rocket Arty have to 'oneshot' ?17 May 2021, 09:26 AM Axis rocket arty have a bigger punch per salvo but Allied rocket arty is better at clearing out weapon teams and emplacements. It plays into the army design too. Allies are supposed to have durable/resilient squads. One shots tend to happen if you're not paying attention but can be avoided fairly easily. The higher mode count for most allied squads means your squads will most of the time stay alive with some minor adjustments. Axis have superior weapon teams in exchange for smaller squads so it makes sense for Allied rocket arty to be better at clearing weapon teams rather than one shotting squads. As with all rocket arty, damage can be mitigated/avoided if you're paying attention. My one grip with rocket arty is not all factions have a stock rocket arty option which is a necessity in team games. In: COH2 Balance
