Thread: Why does the M20 mine need to one shot the Puma?3 Nov 2014, 20:33 PM Guys guys, stop trolling, I can reasonably understand the problem and reasonably explain it. Look, a single ATshot doesn't kill a Kubel, you need 3 ATnade to kill a kubel and... well let's not talk about zooks or I would be banned from that forum, there are minors around there. So imagine the confusion when a single thing, or single shot, not simply single mine in fact... but a single single from USF faction kills something. It's just too much for any OKW player. How is it possible. If you want to play something that rape everything around and is almost indestructible, you play OKW, not USF. And from that logic, the m20 mine power is simply an aberration in the design and gameplay of COH2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does the M20 mine need to one shot the Puma?3 Nov 2014, 11:14 AM Puma isn't a early unit but a mid-game one, so you should be right. You can also play smart and have a sturmpio minesweeper opening his path instead of rushing the M20 like you do with you koningkubel. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Your strat around Len Lease Commander3 Nov 2014, 10:39 AM Hi guys, I just wanted to know what would be your strategy around this commander vs Ost and OKW in a 1vs1 or 2vs2 situation. I know this commander hasn't any big heavy tanks neither shock troops but I found it quite interesting to play. I have try T1 to T4, a kind of mix cons+penal+sniper+M3 to hold the ground and a direct T4 with all the fuel I can have from the supply drops. Finishing with a mix of sherman + T85 and a kat behind. And cons with their repair kit. I found it quite successful. Not relying only on shock to do the job is a bit more harder but since all you have doesn't cost you an arm to maintain, you can reasonably spam everything, just keep your sniper squad alive. I have heard about a T1+T2 into sherman spam, it can be a good combo and I will probably try it my next game. My only concerns is the M5 not upgradable without T3, I don't really understand why but still the unit performs well as support fire + reinforcement squad mobile center Any tips you know? A particular BO you are using successfully? In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: US viable again? 3 Nov 2014, 08:31 AM USF vs OStheer: mg + lmg spam is still a issue with how works lmg. Otherwise, it's pretty much balanced. USF vs OKW: OKW has better early game and if the player doesn't screw up his advantage can transition in a fast PUMA / Ober + Luch and its almost gg. USF spend his all game trying to fulfill the gap until it's too late and daddy's big tiger hit the field. I have been watching some USF/OKW games and I have seen funny things that make me thing OKW in good hands would never lose vs USF. My last hope for USF is that Relic redesigns that faction with AA. If not, I'll probably going to play Sov a lot more. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Help with a good BAR build for 1v130 Oct 2014, 14:04 PM I guess 1rst if you're going BARs, you're not going T2 but T3 to have some AT capabilities. Well it also depends on your dctrine choice. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: US late game problems..28 Oct 2014, 15:14 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Oct 2014, 08:43 AMQmaPL The same as with other officers. What does the "nearby" means ?? To me, "nearby" means I usually finish any of my game with Vet3 Major - or he dies vet2 vet3 on the way. This officer is imo the best of the 3. I guess you have to make some tries to figure out, on each map, where is the best hole to place it regarding front lines and shock points. -Barrage and fake barrage are really good last defense stands if you are pushed. Red smokes well placed in a blob path will make your opponent retreat in 80% of cases. -Retreat point with an ambulance next to it behind your line is just the best way to keep pressurize your opponent and make sure you're not losing ground too fast vs OKW. -Lockdown comes naturally if you play well. Tips: Since the ambulance is a horror to move, you can swap the drivers with RE, and move the medics in the field to heal your squad defending a point and you don't really want to move them right now to heal/resupply when your Major location become too obvious - MOVE IT!!

Thread: Is Coh2 ready for E-Sports?Post-oktober Betapatch discussion23 Oct 2014, 19:40 PM You're maybe right, I don't know. But as you said, back in vCoh, it happened really sporadically when now, in Coh2, I'm lucky if I don't have any of my squad wiped in one shot per game lasting more than 15 minutes. So there is a average between both situation and would be great to figure out where do we want to place this curser. And we could also come back to vCoh concept of squad wipe: really rare. I would like to add that squad wipe isn't an issue in a game where veterancy isn't that important. But in Coh2, like in vCoh, having a full vetted squad dying in one shot isn't competitive at all. It is maybe fun and provide more substance to drama but it isn't competitive. Competition means rules, means limits, means a frame surrounding what we want in and what we want out. It also means fair and balance for all parties. So now, take the wipe squad concept and see if it enter in the frame or if it is out. In: Lobby
Thread: Is Coh2 ready for E-Sports?Post-oktober Betapatch discussion23 Oct 2014, 13:36 PM RNG is one thing, wiping a squad by RNG is something different from RNG. The idea is not to have or not have RNG but put a limit of RNG impact. Example: A unit with more than XX% of his life cannot be OS by anything, whatever the damage level originally dealt. So you have RNG as the damage source will randomly deal damage, but you control the limit of the damage. About E-sport itself, Coh2 has clearly be design far away from any competitive thought. Automatch system emptier of ranking board system is the best demonstrator of fact. Couple of months earlier they decided to turn 180 degree and look for e-sport, I'll be cynical but I'm ready to bet they took that decision after looking a Dota2 Compendium cash prize pool and the big profit Valve did with it. I guess they can turn again 180 degree when they'll cold down their mind and see the true in where they are and what they have to accomplish to be somewhat attractive for ESL. In: Lobby
