Thread: Kubel counterplay19 Sep 2014, 09:07 AM Guys, after I studied enough kubel play and kubel counterplay I have to admit I was a little wrong about kubel, it needs rework. Especially for USF kubel it's a problem, because Riflemen are more expensive and you can't spam enough of them to flank it early enough in order not to be cornered from startgame. So I think its arc of fire should be reduced (narrowed) a little and its health must be nerfed for just a bit in order to take enough damage when flanked. The main reason for which it needs these nerfs is because it doesn't require so much micro as I thought it does. In fact, in startgame, and american player must micro more than the okw player does. P.S. This is serious, I'm not trolling, people can make mistakes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Jaeger Light Infantry v. Pathfinders19 Sep 2014, 08:58 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 16:57 PMKamfrenchie cool, so OKW has a solid game start that can easily go toe to toe with allies early game, then OKW can transition into superior armor and vehicles... About your advice with tanks, can't you even acknowledge that with volks carrying shrecks and racketen being very good, tanks hardly solve all infantry problem ? Yes, on paper you are right. But in my early OKW games I used to start with T2 (assuming that T2 means the building with jagdpanzer, leigh and searchlight HT), thinking that raketen and schrecks will supliment any AT need untill mid-late game. Reality proved I was wrong, volks are not panzergrenadiers and raketenverfer has a such small range and it's easily killable (has nothing to do with the PAK 40). To explain better: compare the binom 1 schrecked pzgrens squad + 1 pak 40 with the binom 1 schrecked volks squad + 1 raketen and tell me which is the best. In addition, from middle game start, you cannot relay on infantry or team crew based AT weapons like volks and raketen, you need vehicles. In fact the most reliable build is starting with T3 and Puma, then, depending on situation you continue by building T2 or T4 (T4 being the sign for an agressive play). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: New Jaeger Light Infantry v. Pathfinders18 Sep 2014, 15:47 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 15:11 PMBrachiaraidos - Wall of text - . Ye, I see you played many games as OKW, and I see they are exclusevely 2v2. I love relying on my Ostheer ally to give me some fuel paradrops and to build me some caches. You know, OKW cannot build caches. Allied can boost their fuel income, but OKW cannot do the same without suffering AMO penalty. But I really understand why you think the way you do, not playing 1v1 makes you feel the fuel shortage problem at its minimum. Of course in 3v3 I feel much better with OKW, for instance. And don't get to cocky with your leaderboard place. My friend who barely plays COH2 reached place 180 in random 2v2 with soviets (just to give you a hint about allied cheese). As a conclusion, I'm not saying current OKW status is deplorable, au contraire, now it's quite fine, because it really has the solid start game that HE NEEDS ANYWAY. The OKW status was worst in the past. But whiners are simply pissing me off and makes me wonder "how much cheesier you want your allied game to become"? they simply aren't right trying to judge OKW as any other faction. To put it into a nutshell: nerf all the OKW units you want but give it a normal fuel income PLUS ability to build caches. And everything would be fine and balanced. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Jaeger Light Infantry v. Pathfinders18 Sep 2014, 13:52 PM Hm. Forgive me if I still think that the FUEL HANDICAP is justifying all you guys are considered to be "OP". Why does it matter if JLI perform better than Patfinders? Why does it matter Fallschirm are such usefull units? Why does it matter Obersoldaten are performing better than most of Allied infantry? Just build some fucking tanks already and you will overcome all these Allied "weaknesses" and win by a mile. Why is it so hard? What, you want to have the capacity to build as many vehicles you want AND to have better or equivalent infantry also? Don't you think this wouldn't be ok? Oh, and if an OKW player doesn't allow you do build a tone of tanks, maybe it's because he is a skillfull guy or because you suck at COH2. It's as simple as that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoHO, bulletin crafting, profitability18 Sep 2014, 11:36 AM COHO? Tried it, felt great at the beginning, then... engeneers with bazooka, stealthy and throwing satchel charge?!? Uninstalled it "pronto". Great idea, but totally broken for new players entering the game which were greatly disadvantaged. You had to gatter you whole army to resist to one squad. That was stupid and unrealistic. Sure it'snice to have distinguished and customized units but balance was way behind. Some of COHO features could be implemented further in COH2 I guess but not at that extent, like special units that you can build but not so different related to others in the same cathegory.

Thread: Time to shake it up relic!18 Sep 2014, 11:24 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 09:33 AMraw You don't need to be an expert to see that the game is completely lopsided towards germans. You just have to look at the % numbers when searching for a game. That is explained thorugh the fact that people like challanges not exploit/cheesee play. Coming with this argument makes you a cheesee play lover as far as I can see.... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer 1v1 USF18 Sep 2014, 08:51 AM I'm just staying away from Ostheer 1v1. But still, if AG, Ostruppen and grens aren't working, you probably should choose the opposite way in your oppenings by spaming Mg42s instead of grens. Something must work . In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A simple solution to have a more people playing allies18 Sep 2014, 08:44 AM Well, tbh... great idea!! That one with 1 game as Axis - 1 game as Allied for an additional war spoil drop(Even 2 -2 would be ok). And random war spoil, as untill now. The result can be astonishing on this forum.... meaning even more opinions that will favor Axis. We already saw this effect in former soviet fanboys. In: COH2 Gameplay
