Thread: review requested 2v2 on Across20 Mar 2016, 16:43 PM If someone has the time to review this that would be great. I'm stuck in the 500-600 level in 2v2 random as USF and would like feedback. This was a 2v2 automatch with two randoms (my team) versus a 600 level AT. It started out badly, then we came back and bled their VP's a lot, only to have it turn around after they got KT and Elefant out. It ended in a wild battle for the middle VP starting at about 1:12 and lasting for a couple of minutes. Some of the questions that I have: Do people use Stuarts much in 2v2? Was mine just too late to have any impact? I couldn't keep any armor alive. What should I have been buying and how should I use it? Strategically, what should I have done different? (In watching it, I saw some times when I had idle units and some units wasted but think there are other opportunities for improvement). 0 VS StormTrooper3xx SimCityPlanningCommittee Hawk MC review requested 2v2 on Across by: Grumpy map: Across the Rhine 4 - In: US Forces Strategies

Still salty about someone removing truck pushing? Any changes in employment at Relic were likely to have much more to do with the life cycle of the product and revenue than any juvenile rants on the internet. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF in its current state does not belong to COH216 Mar 2016, 04:06 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2016, 18:09 PMBananenheld People posting they lost so much elo because of sim commander, keep in mind you had a very ( and i mean very easy ) time due aec totally overperforming, so your elo was likely inflated (is that the right Word? ) anyway. Awesome! Maybe you should start a thread "AEC even more OP than Emplacements, gives scrubs delusions of being almost mediocre." It's a great theory and I'm sure it will be well-received by the general community. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Can't build tier 316 Mar 2016, 02:32 AM Anyone else get a bug where you can't upgrade UKF to tier 3? Also, is there any way to stop the random locations of the AT & vickers drops? About half of the time, it drops one or the other into some inaccessible place. In: Replays

That level of brain functioning and communication would be acceptable if you were living in a cave far away from the civilized world, oh wait... The JT is a counter to sim city if you haven't managed to take it down already, with any of the other counters. I got the Advanced Emplacements commander as a random drop. When I started using it, my elo rating was around 250 in 1v1's. When I stopped, it was 500-ish. The counters that I listed were all ways that people wrecked my sim city (except that the JT was in a 2v2, not a 1v1). Building a 5 minute mortar pit is the worst thing you could do. You just gave up 2 units so any decent player will try to swarm it. If they take it down then gg. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic re-organisation and Kyle's response15 Mar 2016, 05:23 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2016, 01:22 AMRappy Unfortunately the layoff rumours thread turned to a spewing volcano of vitriol. FichtenMoped ended up locking it after Kyle gave an official response (probably because of the nasty vibes from the CoHmmunity). However I found the content of Kyle's post a little ambiguous. His response to the rumours that a few devs had been sent packing, was this:- "There have been some rumors of late that the CoH2 team would like to address. Although there has indeed been some recent changes to the team, rest assured these changes have had no impact on the current plans for CoH2." But Kyle, what were the current plans for CoH2? What if they were to bring it to a halt from here? This is not a reassuring response. You are being circuitous with your language in a way that makes me and perhaps others suspicious. I would have asked for further clarification in the thread that was already there, as mos eisley canteena-like as it was, but it got closed. So please Kyle can you tell us what these plans are? Is there any further info you can provide about these events, as our community manager? I think layoffs always happen the same way (having been laid-off myself a couple of years ago). The company won't say much, at most some platitudes about difficult times, caring for employees, etc, etc. The employees likely got a severance and signed a non-disparagement agreement so they won't say much either. Relic doesn't owe us an explanation and shouldn't say anything about those who got laid off. If there are any future development plans for COH2 then it would be great if they said something about that. My guess is that revenues no longer supported paying as many developers as it once did. They probably wouldn't want to admit that so some additional platitudes would go out to the public. In: Lobby
Thread: Balance feelings after some matches : Not fun at all.15 Mar 2016, 03:10 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2016, 19:47 PMpigsoup one of the two real problems with 3v3+ is the strength of heavy rocket artillery. they are borderline OP in all maps and outright broken in tight maps like 4v4 hill400. other one, maps. Even with the rocket arty nerf, it still seems a little too strong. In 3v3+, it seems like the rocket arty comes so fast that the games stopped being fun. Most of my games have been 1v1 or 2v2 lately. My win ratio with all factions is about the same and when I lose, it really just feels like I was outplayed. If I had a rant other than rocket arty, it would be that grenadiers are too fragile. They seem awfully prone to being wiped by HE Sherman, IS2's, mines, and grenades. I would much prefer that they be a 280 mp 5-man squad (even if the DPS per model was nerfed slightly). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Advanced Emplacements help14 Mar 2016, 05:40 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2016, 01:34 AMNigelBallsworth Thanks for the info , everyone who responded; it pretty much confirmed my suspicions. At the very least, I suppose it forces the enemy into building units they might not otherwise build. I do sometimes build LefH's to counter them, and it is about the only time that I build those. I kind of agree with Spinflight about the use of emplacements. Once someone gets a counter up (like LefH), then hope that you've got your money's worth out of the emplacements. I've had games where my LefH got 40+ kills because someone tried to keep his simcity going, and ultimately lost the game. In most games, I'll either build no emplacements or a defensive mortar pit that can barely reach past the VP (or other point) that it is guarding. Any more than that is normally a waste.
