Thread: IL2 Precision strike seems uncounterable30 Apr 2020, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2020, 20:38 PMT.R. Stormjäger Well I'm trying to get an actual response on what I could potentially do or if this is OP, I know certain doctrines are broken Kappa Just build enough of them that they can't bomb them all.......... Try to selectively play against randoms, as they're much less likely to have howitzer counters. You can do this by getting your CELO rating worse than 1000 and playing by yourself. I promise this won't lead to pudding or be toxic. Playing 4v4's helps........ In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are sections perfectly fine?29 Apr 2020, 05:19 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2020, 04:04 AMSkysTheLimit Can people on this forum please provide some fucking links to the place where we can read these opinions? If your gonna cite someone else's opinion, cite them. In stormjaegers thread a couple days back he actually cited miragefla You guys just cited pros saying two different things Google "four out of five dentists". It has about the same credibility.

Thread: Overall community trend29 Apr 2020, 03:03 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2020, 02:50 AMTobis If you have a string of bad luck that drops your rank far enough you can get stuck in Hell. A rank so low that all of your teammates and opponents will be crayon eating morons or people trolling. Then it will be entirely luck which team gets the least idiots to win, making it take forever to boost your rank back up. LOL, I was gonna post almost the same thing, but was going to call it purgatory. The strange thing about the rankings is that after awhile, it's hard to trust them. When my team of 3 queues as 4v4, we sometimes get people with a ranking of 100 that seem borderline retarded, and sometimes get people with rankings in the 500 to 1000 range that play fine. I think we lost to you and Suora a couple days ago so you're another one that dashed my dreams of mediocrity. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Someone have use the M20 lately?28 Apr 2020, 19:56 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2020, 19:23 PMaerafield the triple nerf maybe was a bit too much - zook removed - Lieutenant tech time nerfed hard - M20 build time nerfed In 3v3 or 4v4 it does seem to come in awfully late.

Spotting scopes are an issue as always. 222 etc. I used one against your team a few days ago. It was having a happy life until one of your teammates thought it was worth a shot from their JT.

Thread: The Pershing.28 Apr 2020, 15:33 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2020, 08:01 AMHannibal This is exactly what we need in these types of discussions. The only thing missing is the rate of fire. Here the Sherman wins with 6.175 seconds vs Pershings 7.0 seconds. So performance wise you trade a 13% vs ~25% higher scatter area and better AoE. Thanks for doing this. I think the reason why I had the impression that it's worse is because I'd been using it in 4v4's and at longer ranges. At vet 3 it seems to hit part of a squad with each shot so one of its vet bonuses must be accuracy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Pershing.27 Apr 2020, 19:43 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2020, 13:03 PMLago You're kidding, right? The Pershing outperforms the HE Sherman against infantry, the best anti-infantry medium in the game. That's anything but piss poor. It's not gamebreakingly powerful any more, but it's still really, really good. Interesting. Do you have scatter values? I've tried the Pershing a few times and at vet 0 it seems like it has much worse scatter than a HE Sherman. It seemed kind of underwhelming at vet 0 but decent at Vet 2 or better. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Remove popcap from the IR HT?27 Apr 2020, 19:00 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2020, 16:42 PMaerafield 5 popcap seems kinda rough for a now extremely situational niche unit that cannot fight nor capture territory (like medics or an USF ambulance who have popcap). It's a complete non-combatant like Opel Blitz which has 0 popcap I voted no but think that 5 is way too much. If you'd included an option to lower it to 2 then I would've voted for it. Even at that, it still seems like it needs something more. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Overall community trend27 Apr 2020, 18:48 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2020, 18:23 PMKoRneY Some of it is pretty bad. Recent game on Across the Rhine had a teammate blip the house next to the fuel (the big one across the road from the vp) and tell me under no circumstances should I lose it. After pushing the red player off of the fuel I noticed a huge flank from orange so I got out after a brief delay to try and hold him up so my teammates could adjust (hopeful thinking). I got a ton of gardening and pudding for a match we wound up winning fairly easily. Some rank 3000 guy. I consider myself fairly average (I'm getting old) and I'm constantly telling my toddler kid to do shit but it just baffles the fuck out of me that people are so focused on a single minded idea of telling people what to do instead of working with the situation. Granted there are days where I don't have as much grit and time to save a sinking ship of a match against competent opponents but I never do that sort of shit to players. Ouch, I've lost to teams with you on it a couple times recently. I'd had some dreams of mediocrity but you just busted them. Today's field general was someone that wanted me to send a beat up Pershing into an attack on a vp defended by a schwerer, 1 or 2 mg34's, panther, raketen, and a bunch of infantry. They YOLO'd their infantry into that with no smoke, nothing besides a big A-move. They ended up losing a bunch of models but not getting close to the VP. I took it a few minutes later without losing many models. Yesterday's field general was someone who would ping every time he didn't like the positon of something. At one point, he wanted me to move a raketen around a building and take on a KV8 at zero range. While he is doing this, his pak40 is moving through an infantry blow from the other team with vehicle priority set on. In: COH2 Gameplay
