Thread: Worst than brace : multiple OKW's flak trucks camping vp27 Mar 2017, 08:36 AM OKW trucks and Brit emplacements are the same cancer with a different flavor. This thread only shows Axis Fanboy popping to defend their own little OP thing vs the rest of the world. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Worst than brace : multiple OKW's flak trucks camping vp26 Mar 2017, 09:03 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2017, 18:02 PMmiragefla Here's my solution to the flak cannon and HQ. -100-120 munitions for flak cannon no population -Panzer HQ cost halved but can only call in Obers and maybe jagdpIV -Upgrade required for the other tanks which brings back the cost to standard levels in total. -Gun can choose targets. Finally -AA no longer based on RNG Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2017, 16:37 PMMr.Smith Free squads? You mean the 8 (Lieutenant) + 8 (Captain) + 5 (Major) + 4 (Ambulance) popcap squads the USF gets? I only talked about popcap cost. inb4: yes; USF popcap abuse is actually fixable Make the King Tiger only available when all trucks are UP and OKW players should stop building them on the middle of the map.

They are pretty commonly see on the battlefield to be elite right now. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: MARCH 28th UPDATE23 Mar 2017, 18:25 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2017, 17:40 PMMirdarion Thanks for not reading a single word I have written. I have referred to all of those options, with the exception of the Puma (which I might add is in a single, obscure Ostheer doctrine). Is that what "snip" means nowadays? "I haven't read the post I am quoting here, but let me reply to it nonetheless." P.S.: May I add that "Everyone who doesn't have my opinion sucks, here is the replay forum so you can get good, NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBB!!111!" isn't a very convincing argument either? That I do at least somewhat know what I am talking about would have been obvious to you if you had actually read anything I wrote (I know, reading is hard; all those letters...), so perhaps that is the underlying issue here. For fucks sake, with Mr. Smith it is at least possible to bring arguments, because he reads them. With you it is like talking to a machine that selects answers from a limited pool of pre-written sentences. P.P.S.: @ Mr. Smith Is it intended that PIATs are still a bit... lackluster? Sure, they are cheap as hell, and a perfect tool for your Royal Engineers, but IMO they still seem quite underwhelming compared to other AT options. Might be something that could be improved on once British tanks are brought in line. Well if you suck, at least with a replay we can tell you so. We all know there is a flaw in the design by not having given stock light tank to Ostheer, but it doesn't mean we must flaw it even more with a lightly armored car spam meta beating light tanks every games.

As far as I remember, 222 counters m20/m3/uc in live version and are still doing the job in the WBP. Pulling out 2 or 3 of them to counter Stuart/AEC/T70 has never been the intended design. Thus I don't really understand what you are complaining for. The 222 is better because you don't need anymore to dive in in order to get some kills on infantry squads. You can sit at max/mid range and get reliable kills the same way the m20 does. Getting Xp and using its abilities. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: MARCH 28th UPDATE23 Mar 2017, 08:41 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2017, 19:46 PMJackDickolson Not quite right. Some light tanks just need a bit more time to wipe inf now. The AEC received massive buffs, and it can out-cheese the Stuart's stun shot by its new thread-breaking shot. The T70 is a lot more durable now. The Stuart has better penetration, and can vet faster. Not to mention the fact that the new PIAT is a super Bazooka-Shreck hybird. Allied Light Tanks will be still powerful, and people will be building them as often as they used to. The 222, on the other hand, has literally no purpose anymore, as by the time it arrives the allied "Scout/Clown Cars" have done the their damage. Dunno, if they really lost their shock value vs infantry, many people will simply decide to not use them anymore. Let's be honest many players were building those units because of their high wipe potential with close to 0 micro giving them the edge on the match. Look at the Luch for example, they did removed its shock value some time ago. The unit is still performing well but is a lot less used because it requires brain and micro to get the best of it. Playing Ostheer everytime I face a Light Tank, the question I ask myself is not how much damage it will do to my army before i finally kill it but how many of my squads will be wipes by them in 1 or 2 shots. Today When I manage to dodge those wipes (but not the damage), I'm in better condition to win the game and it is all what I want today. Imo, Penals and Guards nerfs are also a nerf for the T70 strategy, those units have less impact when hitting the battlefield and will require more micro to deal the same amount of damage they deal today. Sov players will need to go T1 and T2 to get a viable army composition. T2 maxim spam isn't great vs Ostheer and T2+T3 alone doesn't work neither on a balanced match. So yes, I can imagine the 222 will have a greater room to dominate the battlefield when it is available and probably force the Sov player to build a T70 to counter it which is different from today where Sov players are buidling T70 anyway. Vs USF, the mortar nerf is basically all what we need today. Maybe the match-up will be still unbalanced but today we don't yet, let's see how the game evolve with the mortar nerf and Stuart nerf and M15 nerf. Vs Brit, the AEC nerf is a good point, there is a need for more adjustment with the faction ofcourse but out of scope, so let's wait for the next patch. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: MARCH 28th UPDATE22 Mar 2017, 18:35 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2017, 18:04 PMMirdarion The 222 was viable before the patch. Mostly because a pair of them countered light vehicles quite well without breaking your bank account. The Stuart and T-70 may be weaker now, but they still are good enough to easily take on a single 222, and getting two will be impossible now (or will bite you in the arse later on, as the perfect teaching strucure leading to perfect tanks like the Pansy IV will come even later than it already does). Meanwhile, the 222 still can't properly fight infantry, because it is the only vehicle of its class that for no reason at all has to be able to take damage from small-arms fire. It is also worse at fighting vehicles, due to the lower firing rate, while it gets a totally useless penetration buff - that thing never had trouble penetrating Stuart's or T-70s reliably, so the penetration buff doesn't change anything at all. The sniper has been nerfed, and a few rather inconsequential nerfs to Allied infantry (inconsequential, because the nerfs we're talking about only affect late game infantry) happened. The only crutch remaining to Ostheer is StuG spam now, although I don't doubt that will be taken away as well as soon as the Cromwell is put into the realm of krank medium tanks. We will see how this plays out, but if it is anything like the previous patches with similar changes, he results will be exactly as I have foretold. Not that it matters much, another six months with Relic sticking their thumbs up their arse will mean the end to the playerbase, with the exception of perhaps a couple hundred grizzled veterans. We saw the same thing happen in CoH1, the fact that nobody at Relic has learned from that is quite telling. You'll probably see less Light tanks in the first place, or if you see them have more time to react with your infantry since they removed their wipe machine potential. In resume, no need to invest on 2x222 to keep them at bay, one is enough with your pak and gren. I hope Relic will re-do the experience and bring a patch dedicated to remaining issues.

Thread: The American BAR21 Mar 2017, 19:35 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2017, 15:29 PMvietnamabc Hear hear man, of all USF units, only Rifles, Paras, Rangers, Pershing and Callies (4 of them are super-expensive call-ins) are worth keeping till late game. Anything else is only good for shock factor or trading. you can add the scott and the Jackson. Scott is a beast vs full vet Axis infantry, you usually ends killing a lot of them at no cost until your opponent really decide to chase and kill the Scott. Jacksons kill everything except Super-Heavies tank destroyers. Those are the issues, not the jackson being underpowered. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hector´s suggestions on how to fix Brace19 Mar 2017, 09:26 AM Increasing damage after brace is a bad idea. It will be impossible to keep them alive, brace counter artillery strikes and usually you don't get that many units around an artillery strike, so how would you be able to have engineers in time to repair the emplacement. You already need 2 engineer squads to repair faster than what a stug deal to you, increase its damage will be an overkill. Like I suggested before and like Mr.Smith is suggesting here, just disable or strongly reduce the repair while braced and problem solved. Engineers have to be there before brace to repair, You cannot anymore just wait for brace and repair. Or another idea, make repair disabling brace. Once a unit is starting repairing an emplacement under brace, brace ends. An other one, make brace and both mortar and bofors barrage on the same CD. In: COH2 Balance
