Thread: Shock Troops 13 Aug 2016, 19:38 PM I haven't used them in awhile, but playing against them, they seem like they're okay. Assault grens on the other hand seem comically bad. Early game, they can push rifles around a bit but as soon as rifles get bars, then ass grens are just exactly that. Shocks would work better if they had a longer range. It seems like you always lose a model or two when trying to get close, and the reinforce cost is high. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: It's easier without a turret (3v3 on Steppes for KEK) 10 Aug 2016, 05:17 AM Here is the 3v3 that we played. For anyone else, it was a 3v3 where Axis held both fuels the entire game. There was an almost continuous battle for the center VP, complete with lots of flanking attacks by Axis mediums. In: Replays
Thread: Cookiez:- EffenNewbie8 Aug 2016, 06:11 AM I have a couple of replays for you to review. They're both with one of my regular teammates (but not on vent or TS). I'm not sure why but we often end up playing from behind in games. 0 VS 元首啊德军很弱，友军很低能 Kudlat Effen Newbie Ranger-Ghost review requested 2v2 on Refinery by: Grumpy map: Gelsenkirchen Refinery 2 - 0 VS Ranger-Ghost Effen Newbie JohnTheBuff6 II Scorpion x review requested 2v2 on Semo by: Grumpy map: Semoskiy Winter 1 - In: Mentoring
Thread: review requested 2v2 on Refinery8 Aug 2016, 05:29 AM This is a map that I often struggle with, not sure how to play it. PS - just barely won on this map, and most of the game was playing against computer. In: Replays
Thread: review requested 2v2 on Semo8 Aug 2016, 00:10 AM The first 24 minutes is really bad. We were an arranged team, double USF, and down something like 68 to 470 vp's after just over 20 minutes. In this case, I'm not sure what I should've done differently during that time. In: Replays
Thread: Let's Talk: ISG Performance6 Aug 2016, 03:05 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2016, 00:29 AMmiragefla Today I'm going to talk about the ISG for OKW. .... Anyways feel free to leave your opinions and comments so we can discuss this. And please note discuss, not random tantrums please, simply because a unit got buffed/changed. Earlier I posted that I didn't think it needed a buff, based largely on watching a couple of Barton's replays. I played a lot with ISG's last weekend and couldn't duplicate Barton's success with them. Sometimes they were okay but a lot of times they were a waste. They're completely worthless against Brit emplacements, and not very good against moving infantry. The pack howie is in somewhat the same shape. At least it occasionally get wipes. The auto-attack range and attack ground range are inane. It should at least be able to attack ground out to its barrage range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M36 Jackson5 Aug 2016, 04:57 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2016, 23:40 PMDangerous-Cloth What do you guys think about the new Jackson? It has been long since I felt that a unit is in such a good place. The Jackson feels solid and very potent without feeling like it overperforms. It is still a fragile unit, but it can now finally perform its intended role. I personally am in love with the new Jackson. M36 really good now, doesn't need any buffs or nerfs, so are all Sherman variants except bulldozer. In: Lobby
Thread: Penalties for abusive /quit .4 Aug 2016, 01:37 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2016, 03:30 AMeasierwithaturret I sympathise in that I too often have to deal with an unreliable connection. As annoying as it is to get dropouts I don't feel as if a system that made it harder to access ranked team matches during times of instability is infringing my rights. I know every time I drop out it is spoiling the game for the other 3-7 players. I feel pretty stupid here, what is this reconnect feature you mention? The game client tries to reconnect when it disconnects. Your units stop, the game freezes, and you get a status update on the left. Depending on what is happening, you can end up losing the game anyway even with a reconnect. On a reconnect, your client moves in turbo mode until everything is caught up. In: COH2 Gameplay

It adds a little lag, but it is nothing compared to relic server ping. Most importantly it is much cheaper than whooping 75$ and is super stable - as stable as your phone. If you just need connection for gaming, so you don't need good speed, you can also try ADSL. I tried using a tethered Sprint LTE connection. I didn't have any drops but the lag made it unplayable. I had a really hard time dodging grenades. I would try ADSL but think I would go over their data cap. I might try tethering my AT&T phone and see if that works better than Sprint. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Penalties for abusive /quit .3 Aug 2016, 02:57 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2016, 20:59 PMferwiner People should use stable computers and internet connections either way for their own good. By your logic we could also implement additional lag, just becouse some people are disadvantaged by playing on wireless connections that skyrocket their ping. Some of us don't have a choice. At my home, I have a choice of Comcast or Comcast. It's craptastic. It isn't likely to change as Comcast regularly gives "dollars of free speech" to our elected officials so that there is very little chance of anything changing. I get to pay about $75/month for a connection that drops me from games completely roughly 5-10% of the time. The game servers do have a reconnect feature that does work. I get probably 2-3 times as many reconnects as I do drops. The problem is that everything keeps playing while I'm waiting to reconnect so I often lose units while it reconnects. If I had a wish list for COH3, it would be that the servers were more fault-tolerant. This is the only online game I have that has this level of disconnects. SC2, WC3, GW2 all disconnect much less often. In: COH2 Gameplay
