Thread: M10 call-in is too strong compared to Puma call-in27 Apr 2016, 07:03 AM Puma is a great unit, I use it to skip T3 and go directly Brumbar. 1x pak + 1 puma + 1 command tank and then T4 Brumbar. If I need more At power, I call more Puma Now, Puma comes CP5 and M10 CP8, not exactly the same time... Comparing both is not really relevant. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofor Barrage26 Apr 2016, 13:58 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2016, 12:41 PMmortiferum The only thing being talked about here is Ostheer vs Emplacement pretty much. OKW got Leig, Ostheer have to use mortar or doctrine, or wait until something else. A quick Emplacement on a cut off can end games. Mortar from T1 softcounter the bofors. it forces brit to permanently repair the bofors, same with its barrage ability which barely kill a mortar or you've been sleepy. Next nothing in T2 can face the bofors except pak outrange it. Then T3 Stugs rape bofors for breakfast. build 2 of them and you counter 90% of brit late game units. Build 3 of them and you reach 100% brit late game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to counter Ost snipair abuse in 2v2?26 Apr 2016, 12:38 PM build M20 and lean to use it. Learn pfaust range, learn volks shreck range, learn smoke hotkey, learn to create ideal condition to flank sniper. Sometime it is better to retreat a bit to let the Axis overextend and flank him. I'm not saying that like usual L2P but more do it again until you succeed. Because there is no other way than being better at micro than your opponent when snipers are on the field. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Bofor Barrage26 Apr 2016, 12:30 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2016, 12:24 PMmortiferum The only issue is, with that barrage, it counters it's counters (mortar squads) So use other counters. Those between Tier1 units and KT/Tiger. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Updates on BALANCE PREVIEW MOD 26 Apr 2016, 10:06 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2016, 09:23 AMAerohank The only adapting OKW is going to do is go for Puma every game because you are simply not going to counter allied light tank rushes with medtruck units and a 50 range AT gun. Ostheer doesn´t need puma to kill Stuart. They have pfaust + Pak + 222. OKW have Raken + pfaust + HT or Puma or Luch. Ostheer = pak (high range) + 4men gren pfaust + low damage output 222 OKW = raken (low range but camo) + 5men volk pfasut + high damage output Luch or Puma. Something everyone seems to forget is OKW is getting HMG34 from T1 and HMG42 from 2 doctrines. This means: easy lockdown flanks, better territory control, forcing opponent to flank more etc... What OKW loses in AT department OKW wins in AI department. You'll need less volks to control your territory while still keeping OKW push ability with Sturm and Kubel. I have some mitigated feeling about OKW getting stock HMG and losing shrecks, in a way OKW is losing its identity. But since this identity is full of craps and spam, it is definitively better to change it. Same if this means having something bit more similar than Ostheer, both Faction remains vastly different.

Thread: people use strange logic on panzerschreck.25 Apr 2016, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2016, 14:12 PMbingo12345 Some of people said "raketen is bad so we need pazerschreck". i feel somewhat strange. The basis of balance is 'Making too bad to average and Making too good to average'. if you think raketen is bad, don't mention panzerschreck you need to mention raketen itself. i don't think that raketen is too bad. it has fast ROF, steath ability, being able to go into building and retreat ability. edit : don't go attacking playercard of others. Do say just right thing. it will make you shine. People also forget to mention Puma, which is the best light tank killer. But since it requires micro... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: These OKW HQ nerfs are over the top25 Apr 2016, 10:43 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2016, 08:14 AMRappy I can't believe this has to be repeated so many times. To back tech JUST for medics costs an arm and a leg compared to other factions and this is BEFORE mirageflas extra side tech fees. But provides such a great advantage over other factions once deployed isn´t it? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Updates on BALANCE PREVIEW MOD 25 Apr 2016, 10:38 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2016, 09:49 AMSlaYoU You sound like an angry kid that just seeks revenge. Guess what ? Current OKW winrate is not even dominating anything at high skill level, do you really think it should be nerfed from 3 angles ? Now the real question: do you want this game balanced ? Or just wish it was axis rape party ? In this case, have fun with 100% allies search time once patch hits. Complete disaster is incoming. I bet the OKW winrate is going top drop MASSIVELY. As it has been said, the patch not only removes handheld AT from volks (which make the faction super vulnerable to light vehicles -i doubt current state Rak43, even with faust suppport will be enough-), but also rapes the faction economy (and field presence) with side techs. One of these change might be OK, but both at the same time is overkill. OKW winrate is in bad shape mainly because the faction received a huge buff 6 months ago. OKW ELO is inflated till then. I´m always baffled when I play vs Ostheer and next vs OKW, the skill gap between players really high. So it is normal today OKW receives the deserved adjustement to make the faction balanced. I´m not saying what is currently presented is the best idea, I have my own opinion on it, but at least it draws a path to be explored. In a way, you are right in your conclusion, OKW winrate will drop till players get back to their real ELO position. People will have to adapt and do decision making in their BO - as the faction was aimed to be played before but broken due to the resource penalty not providing enough flexibility. Now they´ll have more flexibility and decision making to apply which is valuable for the game environment. In: Lobby
Thread: Updates on BALANCE PREVIEW MOD 25 Apr 2016, 07:00 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2016, 06:47 AMIron Emperor This is my exact feeling after playing it. MP is just killing any possibility. Also I got the feeling that you're almost getting pushed into tier 3 to get a puma, since the other factions have an insane amount of flexible light units, which are hard to get rid of without it. Can you develop the part in bolt. In: Lobby
