Thread: Axis factions get worse with every patch20 Apr 2020, 15:37 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2020, 15:15 PMDarkpiatre The second part isn't an argument anyway and so I wasn't refering to it. But the T-shirt and house stuff is still relevant enough. Except that the T-shirt and house analogy is completely hysterical, as are you for buying into it. The buffs were all around 10-20% of one single stat for most units. Everybody got a T-shirt except for the Tommies, who got a 0.15% and a 0.05% T-shirt. Nobody got or lost a house. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Someone have use the M20 lately?20 Apr 2020, 15:22 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2020, 07:38 AMShadowLinkX37 M20 mines win games in a matter of seconds. Other than that though I think it’s nice in teamgames to pick away at squads when there’s still limited AT on the field They still have a use in team games. You can't always keep armor from getting behind the front lines so the M20 mines on roads sometimes save low-health tanks or mobile arty. I get them more often when I can't get regular doctrinal mines. The AA on it is really good after it is vetted up. They're also good at keeping MG's on your flank from getting flanked. They also help end mismatches faster and can be really good if your opponent doesn't know how to counter. If I had any complaints about it, it would be that they should have reduced the cost of the skirts down to around 20 munis after taking away the bazooka. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Axis factions get worse with every patch20 Apr 2020, 15:03 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2020, 10:23 AMDarkpiatre I think Butcher already gave an answer to that logic ealier in the topic I saw Butcher's hysterical drivel about the balance team being incompetent. Not only does it have no basis in reality, it probably should have gotten him a warning. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comments on Cohrona Cup 2020 - please share!20 Apr 2020, 06:18 AM There were too few close matches to make any sweeping statements on balance. Having a bunch of 2-0 matches is as bad as a bunch of 3-0 (gcs) for trying to concluding anything about balance. I didn't see a lot of USF, but Asiamint finished the tournament using USF. I think it's a matter of map/player choice. I didn't see anyone blobbing 5 sections, but didn't watch all of the games so it could've happened. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Axis factions get worse with every patch20 Apr 2020, 02:18 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2020, 18:14 PMCardboard Tank Rant post but it is a serious issue. We now have three Allied factions that greatly outperform the two Axis factions in every regard. UKF > Soviets > USF > OKW > Ostheer. With the return of the Brit bs and the nerf of the only Axis unit that could fight back (Tiger) Axis are not competitive. Change my mind. Katitof posts will be ignored. Ost changes: reinforcement cost lowered after T4 Brumbar buff Pak 40 buff LEFH buff T4 easier Slight nerf to fragmentation bombing USF changes Bigger nerf to cluster bombing Jacson nerf Airdropped combat nerf 50mp buff to grenade unlock So the balance team makes a bunch of small buffs to Ost (mostly), while making a few nerfs to USF (again, mostly), and you're throwing this hysterical hissy fit and think that we should change your mind? I think it's made up and nothing short of making USF, UKF, and Soviet completely unplayable would change it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Top players boycotting grens in the tournament.19 Apr 2020, 15:29 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2020, 14:58 PMHannibal VonIvan often does not build any Grens and goes for Assgren-PGren combos. At least in this case it is nothing unusual. and he badly needed an AT gun at times, which he also "boycotts" in games...Maybe Incendiary needs to start a thread "Top Players boycotting Pak 40 in the tournament". I watched the last couple hours of AE's cast. It seemed like Ost won most of the time. I don't remember seeing any UKF or any other sign of the dreaded Britocalypse that some people have been predicting. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is Tiger Ace too good for it's costs?18 Apr 2020, 00:45 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2020, 23:31 PMaerafield It's definitely not too cheap. And what are even the bonuses compared to a normal Tiger? I think 200 more hitpoints, better veterancy gain, better accuracy (useless vs inf), spearhead & self repair... but thats about it right? And it has no pintle-mount MG42 which can be huge Don't know, but it's about the cost of a Jackson plus a Sherman, which is a lot to float so that you can call it in. I see them once in awhile in 4v4's but rarely in 3's or 2's. I think I see Spearhead more often. The bombing run is still pretty good, as are MHT's and recon. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rear Echelon very weak.17 Apr 2020, 22:38 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2020, 21:54 PMthedarkarmadillo That's correct. Back then volley fire also increased the rof of zooks making for incredible shenanigans. That's what I thought I remember. It does seem like they were a bit overnerfed, but they do what they need to well enough that it doesn't really create a balance issue. It seems like their cost and reinforce should be a little less. I haven't played much USF or Ost since the patch but I think they cost as much or more to reinforce as Grenadiers, especially after BP4. I'd also like them to be able to make normal mines, but OST can't either so maybe there is some asymmetric balance there. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rear Echelon very weak.17 Apr 2020, 21:03 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2020, 20:16 PMthedarkarmadillo Don't expect 200pm to hold off 300mp alone?they are a support unit. The fact they used to be able to hold off 300mp alome is exactly why they were nerfed... Weren't they something like 160mp originally, so you could spam the shit out of them? I think I remember players (Barton?) building a horde of them, capping all over the map, and putting a bazooka on them late game and having it be difficult for even top tier players to deal with.

Thread: Tier list 1vs1 17 Apr 2020, 18:42 PM We haven't had any tournaments since the patch. I'd suggest watching the COHrona cup to see what the best players think is best. I don't know if the slight nerfs to heavies were enough to change the meta for 1v1. In: COH2 Balance
