Thread: Panzergrenadier rework22 Aug 2014, 15:35 PM I know people are worried about the 5th man being apart of the squad right as it is built. So what about the fifth man coming from the Panzershreck upgrade? You get an extra guy for the squad with a shreck and an existing member gets a shrek and you still have 3 members with assault rifles. In: Lobby
Thread: New Soviet Commander: Tank Hunter Tactics 22 Aug 2014, 11:56 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2014, 11:21 AMBurts Definately looks like a decent commander. Altho the at nades aren't homing, you can still damage stuff with them, just throw the normal at nade FIRST. Altho probaly the fact that they aren't homing is probaly a bug. Uh, no, not a bug, 5 homing AT nades for 30 muni would be broken. They are just like the Infiltration nades of OKW, a lot of nades but random spread pattern. This commander is interesting for the fact that it makes Cons significantly more useful late game. This is the kind of commander that is a great design and compliments rather than defines a game, which is what most people want commanders to do. No, it doesn't have elite infantry or a Super-heavy tank, but it adds a lot of AT versatility to Cons and make them like Volks late game. Crappy damage-dealing early game, but a lot of models, into late game AT that can stand there and throw nades for a few seconds before retreating due to squad size. I really like this commander and applaud Relic for designing such a balanced and interesting commander. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: "T" is your worst enemy - My epic fail21 Aug 2014, 16:28 PM Thanks guys I will have to start practicing my hand control then. Sorry to steal your thread Z3r07. Although I do think the point I brought up is related. A lot of people focus on improving their unit micro or what unit counters what, but something I think is overlooked is how people use their keyboard and mouse. In: Lobby

Thread: "T" is your worst enemy - My epic fail21 Aug 2014, 16:15 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2014, 16:04 PMdasheepeh You can do way way more if you play with hotkeys, trust me I find that assigning the same numbers to the same unit types helps my infantry micro alot. Core infantry gets numbers 1 - 4, snipers 5, MG's 6 and Pios 7. It helps alot. And to be honest, "R" and "T" are "must - use" hotkeys. I cant imagine playing without those. Against better opponents, the more mouse work you have to do the worse it gets for you. Well let me also ask then how do you move around the map? do you use arrow keys or click on unit profiles? I find that having to jump my hands from the arrow keys to the T an R key distracting and tiring. In: Lobby

I do find it forces me to pay attention to every unit, which leads to better preservation and better play. In: Lobby

Thread: Do Tigers really need Blitzkrieg?20 Aug 2014, 15:12 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2014, 14:16 PMKatitof Range, turret, durability. Pick two. To be fair the KT's turret is the slowest rotating in the game and most people just face the whole tank towards what they want to shoot rather than waiting for the horribly slow turret to spin. So really all the KT has going for it is durability. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Balance by game size17 Aug 2014, 00:39 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Aug 2014, 23:14 PMQueenRatchet123 Allies need to be more viable in teamgames 3v3 and 4v4. If we want any hope for this game to grow. Especially since the ESL anouncement. Many new people will learn of the game, play it, and realize how bad allies are in 3v3's and 4v4's. Thats where a large amount of the playerbase is at. Making this game Fun for all factions should be the #1 prioty with balance being 2nd. Frustration should only happen due to bad play. Not the faulty faction design leaving You usless during the late game. If the game is going competitive then they need to focus on 1v1 which is where competitive play is at. Right now because of the lack of competitive support the majority are casual players who play 3v3 and 4v4. If the game goes competitive then expect 1v1 and 2v2 to become a lot more popular. So no, they don't need to balance the game for 3v3 and 4v4, they need to balance the game for 1v1 and 2v2. I hate to be nasty about it, but people asking them to balance 4 factions across 4 modes and make it "fun" it just unrealistic. The game being "fun" is purely objective and some players think fun is playing as the Germans and others as the Allies. You can have fun in 3v3 and 4v4 playing as the Allies. You just will have a harder time winning. If you think winning as the Allies is fun then you should play 1v1 and 2v2 which is more skewed towards those factions. In: COH2 Balance
