Thread: Nerfing Indirect Fire11 Jan 2018, 01:41 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2018, 21:43 PMSkysTheLimit So don't place it there and defend your cutoff with units like everyone else? So tired of hearing that using the flak HQ for defending a main area of the map is part of OKWs "design". You know what else was a part of their design? No stock MGs. Well you get one now, and while it can't kill models for ****, its just fine at suppressing. Like of all the reasons to suggest indirect fire needs a rework, this is the last one I would point to. For me its how much infantry killing they do with little to no micro. I think auto-firing needs a little nerfing (across all factions mortars) to encourage manual barrages more, but the ability to destroy an aggressive flak HQ is the last thing I want to see nerfed. I'd like to see autofire eliminated and just having attack ground and barrage, with any special abilities such as smoke, HEAT, etc, tied to the barrage. I do wish they had nerfed the auto-attack range of the 120 to match the auto-attack of the ISG. In 4v4 randoms, I think I've lost the majority of the trucks that I've built outside the base, at least in competitive games. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: 2v2 gameplay post patch7 Jan 2018, 16:45 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2018, 15:44 PMLemonJuice kinda interesting how your suggestions just further make the factions more similar to each other True, but salvage doesn't make up for lack of caches, and buffing Stugs so that they're competitive in 4v4 would make them badly OP in 1's. RA doesn't help much when it comes to squad survivability in 4's so the only way to make Grens viable is to add a 5th (unless you want to make Osttruppen the standard infantry for 4v4's).

Thread: 2v2 gameplay post patch7 Jan 2018, 15:30 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2018, 11:25 AMButcher This patch effectively made me delete the Elefant and the JT from the standard loadout. So we got that going, right? Jäger Infanterie and Osttruppen doctrine have a nice flavour now. But other than that it's the usual Panzer IV rush for Ostheer. OKW isn't worth it lategame any longer. The 60 range tank destroyer superiority of the Allies has become more of a problem now that the Panther and JPIV and JT have been nerfed. The JT is still pretty good and the only thing that I've had be successful against the Firefly/SU85 combo on open maps. Since the patch, I've had a JT get to vet 5 with almost 40 kills total (only around 11 were vehicles). The HE barrage is useful against infantry, especially with so many players getting multiple Katys that it's hard to keep infantry on the field. My only criticism of the current patch would be that the factions are starting to feel too close to being similar. A OKW P4 seems about the same as a T34/85 or Easy8. The OKW JP4 doesn't seem to work any better than an SU85, and no caches makes sure that you have fewer of them. Late game does seem to be tipping to Allies. OST needs a 5th man upgrade for Grens (like UKF has) and a 60-range TD. OKW needs to be able to build caches, and the ISG should be made competitive with the 120mm (or the 120 nerfed).

Thread: It is time for the OH MG bunker to cost popcap7 Jan 2018, 07:52 AM Are Ost bunkers really an issue? I usually play allies and will carelessly YOLO into one every once in awhile but they're really not a big deal. They go down almost as fast as fighting pits If Ost needs any changes, it would be an upgrade to 5 man squads for grens so they could survive indirect fire better. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Talk About USF M20 Utility Car6 Jan 2018, 22:20 PM Take the bazooka off. Include armor skirts. Maybe buff health to 340 so that it can survive slightly more than 2 pak shots. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH on ultrawide?6 Jan 2018, 22:08 PM Does anyone here use an ultrawide monitor for COH2? How do you like it compared to a normal widescreen? Does it give you any wider view or does it cut off part of the bottom and top? I'm looking at this: https://slickdeals.net/f/11125819-27-samsung-c27h580-1920x1080-curved-freesync-monitor-199-or-29-lg-29um59a-p-2560x1080-freesync-monitor-184-free-s-h?src=catpagev2 In: Lobby
Thread: [PERSONAL BALANCED MOD]HOI BALANCE MOD BETA5 Jan 2018, 20:11 PM Are you trying to balance for 1v1's or everything? If you want to balance for all modes, then instead of changing Gren's RA, you should add a 5th man upgrade that is the same as the one for Tommies. I'd recommend putting the upgrade in T3 or T4 so that it doesn't mess with 1v1 balance but enables Grens to be somewhat survivable in 3's or 4's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: fixing okw taking form vcoh5 Jan 2018, 19:39 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2018, 16:48 PMStug life ....stuff & more stuff I kind of liked the old OKW more than the new, particularly the PIV. The pre-nerf PIV felt like a mini-KT, the new one feels like another T34/85. OKW had an identity with really good late-game armor. Maybe that didn't fit with where people wanted it to go but it had it. The nerf to the LEIG has made the raketen really vulnerable to indirect. I'm having a really hard time keeping the things crewed in 3's or 4's. Any time I can, I'll take a captured AT gun and salvage the raketen. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I don't think Volks are a problem. I think the bigger issue is that their armor isn't much better than Allied armor (in the current patch) and they can't build caches so the Allies always have more tanks and TD's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 3 OKW's go to a random bar........5 Jan 2018, 04:11 AM Surprisingly, this was a fun game to play. It lasted 84 minutes and I lost 368(?) models as OKW, which has to be some kind of a record (of the bad type). MG34's not that helpful, ISG's worse, but Panzerfusilier's still good and JT still good. It's fun to watch at 8x speed just to see the pure carnage in the center, with battles starting by 4-6 Katy's and Sextons barraging the area, followed by many Shocks & rifles closing in for grenade wars in the center. Only Hans and Franz survived, and chalked up 60+kills. Dieter in the JT got something like 39. The center VP changed hands probably 20+ times and the game ended up close. In: Replays
