Thread: thx coh2 for keeping RTS alive16 Apr 2016, 20:14 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2016, 14:14 PMSlaYoU Yep, CoH is keeping the genre alive, along with SC2. I think there was Planetary Annihilation that was hyped quite a bit, but i think it is dead now. Heck, i even gave money during the kickstarter, hoping it would rival Total Annihilation It's a little disappointing that 20 years after Total Annihilation, it is still in some ways the pinnacle of RTS's. The options for unit behavior, control grouping, etc, etc are still better than anything out today. Having the campaign narrated by James Earl Jones rocked. In: Lobby
Thread: LeFH versus counter barrage trois pons15 Apr 2016, 17:25 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2016, 03:03 AMLucas Troy From my tests it seems there is a small corner of trois pons, basically right in the far upper right corner, where counter battery cannot reach LeFH emplacements. Can anyone else confirm this? Might be useful against double brits IIRC, all around the base perimeter on Trois Pons is out of range of counter battery. The problem is that the offmap arty on UKF emplacement commander one-shots the lefh. Lierneux (sp?) has the same problem. I played a really frustrating hour-plus game against double Brit with emplacement on that map. Finally had to build lefh on left side near base and mine everywhere around it so that they couldn't get vision. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Brit Players Opinions Wanted: Early Game14 Apr 2016, 00:48 AM My player card is 100x worse than Sully's so take this with a grain of salt. I agree with using a single, defensively placed mortar pit. When I try to go with emplacements, it normally doesn't work well. I don't like 3v3+ too much so mostly play 2v2 or 1v1. In a 2v2, when the other side decides to deconstruct sim city, you need a teammate that helps. Good luck with that when playing with randoms. It often does work when playing AT with someone on TS but not always. Even ignoring the AT vs Random issue, the play is a bigger one. Sinking 30-50 pop cap into an army that can't move means that you're giving the other side at least 1/3 of the map long enough that they will get their counters out before losing the game. If your teammate decides to play on the other side of the map, you can't help them without risking sim city so they'll get pummeled. Ultimately, it ends up not being fun, and frequently a loss. If you haven't won by the 40 minute mark, your reward will be either a mass of stugs, Elefant, or JT, none of which are affected by counter-battery. I think most of the complaining comes from two types of players. Ones that genuinely don't know how to beat it, and better players that are annoyed because it took them 45-60 minutes to win a game that they are convinced they could have won in 10-15 minutes without the emplacements.

Thread: review requested plus some general questions on UKF7 Apr 2016, 03:10 AM Playing as "Grumpy" in this one - Some of the problems may have been due to them being a team and us being randoms. It felt like we were wining a lot of the engagements but always struggling with map control. Is Special Weapons a competitive commander? Is it worth using "Hold the line" or offmap arty? I was always starved for munitions so didn't try either ability. Are the UKF grenades always as bad as they seemed to be in this match? I lost a bunch of Cromwells. Should I have tried getting some Comets out? I used tank hunter infantry a lot. Are they normally considered okay? I am interested in feedback if anyone has time to look at this. 0 VS Grumpy Phobos1985 {KEK} Jesusz0rs {KEK} WookieWenis review requested 2v2 on Moscow Outskirts by: Grumpy map: Moscow Outskirts 2 - In: Replay Reviews

Thread: Improved Emplacements Commander29 Mar 2016, 02:04 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2016, 17:42 PMThunderhun .......stuff.......with lots of faces......... My bad, didn't see the link for your player card. Still wondering why you care about this commander. Did you lose one game to someone that you would normally beat and therefore this commander is OP? It still doesn't work for me. I got it as a free drop and go backwards when I try to use it a lot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Improved Emplacements Commander28 Mar 2016, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2016, 11:24 AMThunderhun ... Cancer regiment gives scrubs free wins, nice to see ranked 250-600 players making to top 20-30 only with brits. But it has nothing to do with Cancer Regiment I suppose. ..... I'm one of those 250-600 "scrub" (as you call) players. I only beat scrub players when using Advanced Emplacements. Advanced Emplacements is good only on a few small 2v2 maps, and even then only if the other team isn't good at countering. If you think it is so good, play the minimum 10 games using it to get ranked. You should easily be top 20, maybe even top 10. Then post your player card and a few replays. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Emplacement meta...25 Mar 2016, 04:53 AM Here's a replay where I did go sim city. I didn't play well but but it gives the general idea.

Along the lines of, "Sorry was making a cup of tea. Where did all your Volks squads go?" Lol. That would be awesome, I'll use it sometime. In this one, I only built 1 mortar pit.
