Thread: British Patch 3 Sep26 Aug 2015, 22:08 PM Does this mean that the M7 mines have been completely removed/reworked then? Do Assault Engineers get access to them as well? Why no USF alpha changes added? And instead of flat nerfing the ML-20 why not just disable howitzers ability to barrage HQ sectors? Placing OKW trucks in forward positions IS A CHOICE of a player and the ML-20 could be considered a counter to them. HQ sector barraging is a scumbag tactic however. But bring on the Brits!

Thread: First Review British Forces24 Aug 2015, 23:33 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2015, 22:53 PMpussyking Yeah like the WASP upgrade burning at HMG range over obstacles. gonna be hell of a fun to burn axis stuff all over the map with a T0 unit. Yeah I almost spat my coffee out when I first saw the range of the WASP upgrade haha. Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2015, 23:08 PMKatitof Lets ignore the fact that the upgrade requires T2 unlocked and lets ignore another fact that both axis factions can have AT capable lights about 60 seconds after wasp upgrade. So much room to do damage. And let's also forget that the Brits have access to PIATs for 40 muni as well. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Opinions of Penal battalion23 Aug 2015, 08:37 AM Yeah I find Penals only of use against OKW. If you chose a commander that doesn't have Shocks they fill that more-potent AI capability that Cons just don't provide. Works well with Lend Lease I find. T1, 2 cons, if kubel M3, penal, penal. Call in a DshK. By this stage if you have the advantage with map control tech T3 for an Su-76. If not tech T2 for a couple Zis-3s then hold out for the Shermans. Against Ost they suck massive balls. Just opt for a sniper (or two) instead. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Ostheer Sniper ROF20 Aug 2015, 19:03 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2015, 18:51 PMAlexzandvar They intentionally made the garrison structures impossible to build due to cost because literally nobody was using anything but them and it was hurting testing. They will be decently affordable come live. The Brit Trench actually stopped things in it from being sniped due to the insanely reduced chance of hitting things in it. Although it was so fucking buggy in general that they have hopefully ironed that out.... Every dead Sturm is worth more than 1 dead Gren, also 1 dead Ober is worth 2 dead Grens. The idea that Soviet snipers are useless versus OKW outside of Fuss spam is just funny. Sure but it's not like the sniper is just shooting at Sturms or Obers the entire time is it? By the time Obers are available the Luchs is too. Go figure. Even a Puma is a hard counter for the Soviet Sniper with its coax MG. Shooting at the most numerous OKW infantry, Volks, is pointless. It causes no bleed whatsoever basically. Falls get the jump on them from building spawning and Obers w/MG34 mow them down easily. Fussies just laugh any sniper off the field. Trust me, as an avid user of T1, snipers are pointless against OKW. You're much better off building a squad of Penals rather than a sniper... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Sniper ROF20 Aug 2015, 18:51 PM No doubt that the Ost sniper will receive some sort of RoF adjustment/nerf post-British release. Maybe even a cloak time increase too. It was blatantly OP in the alpha, and I rarely use OP to describe anything (well apart from ye olde TA days). Saying that the Soviet sniper causes a huge MP bleed against OKW is BS. Early on they are only useful for reducing the effectiveness of Sturms but that's it really. I've tried using snipers against OKW a few times, and they did fuck all really. Much more effective against Ost as they force them to tech T2 sooner than usual and rush a 222, which is easily read and countered. Now I never tried going double snipers vs Brits as Ost. But using Osttruppen as a screen for a sniper, who also can bumrush a UC with fausts with T1 built, was too effective. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: UKF - Know your units - Medium armor13 Aug 2015, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Aug 2015, 12:04 PMJohnnyB British will be OP at the start, I have no doubt in my mind and will be the wet dream of every anti-nazi justice angel wannabe. Then, in 2 months mark or maybe sooner, Relic will start to nerf them. The tears will be real then. Allied tears. Dear fanboys, Relic just want your money therefore will charm you with a superbe allied faction with an "I win" button included. But soon, they will nerf them more and more, untill you will be out of tears. Much to your delight no less. I foresee the crackshot Ost sniper receiving a RoF reduction sometime in September. Pumas will likely see some sort of change too. But Relic's motto is "Who complains, wins" afterall... In: Lobby
Thread: When to build what?10 Aug 2015, 10:41 AM Light vehicle first priority, then nades/BARs/Ambo. Keep no more than four riflemen squads at a time. Double RE starts are more effective vs Ost imo. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Fighting Position bug10 Aug 2015, 08:42 AM Nice find. This would be useful for placing tank traps around the actual FP itself as it provides extra cover protection. All done from the snug safety of the foxhole! In: COH2 Bugs
