Thread: Dissapearing Enemy U.I10 Apr 2020, 16:18 PM The UI for my own units has been randomly disappearing. It mostly causes a problem when I tell something to retreat by using the hotkey and the command doesn't process, usually costing me the unit. I'm going to try reinstalling. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Poll: USF TD suggestion10 Apr 2020, 07:14 AM It seems like mostly a good set of ideas. I wouldn't tweak the Jackson too much. Also, 480 health would make the Jackson worthless again, as it would die almost instantly in a tank battle in a larger team game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: High Skill USF gameplay is just so micro intensive9 Apr 2020, 22:22 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2020, 20:43 PMWiderstreit In German it consists of 3 words. "Zusammenarbeit" = "Togetherwork" xD Is this a troll thread? It's some weird combination of complaint and pride post. If you zoom into the picture, you'll see that both Blackdream and his teammate won their side, have both fuels, and two VP's. The other team decides their only chance is to throw it all on one side, and it happened to be Blackdream's side. Their opponents had a normal number of riflemen (3 rifles each). The executive summary is: I played a random against a team. It started out a baby-seal-clubbing, but then they doubled my side. It took about 10-15 minuted to get a Walking-stuka and finish the clubbing. They whined because they weren't happy. I wasn't happy either, so I decided to create a balance thread. I made sarcastic comments about USF player's skill level and micro, since their five units clearly are less taxing to micro than my four, and the fact that I mostly see USF blobs has nothing to do with me playing mostly OKW. There was one interesting comment in the thread. It came from NS Aerafield in Post #63, but nobody took the bait to discuss. In: Lobby
Thread: (H)MG34 8 Apr 2020, 18:37 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2020, 15:59 PMSkysTheLimit Yeah that's not true. The mg34 is plenty good at suppressing. It's certainly much better than the Maxim It's damage is bad but thats not important for an MG... It's only job is to suppress, 34 does that completely fine This. The only things I would add is that the MG34 has a huge arc, especially compared to the Maxim, so one of them replaces two Maxims (roughly). Once there is a lot of yellow cover, the Maxim is really ineffective. I'd gladly trade it for a MG34 when playing Soviets. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Railway-Arty6 Apr 2020, 23:40 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2020, 14:41 PMKieselberg Railway-Arty feels, compared to skillplanes and basically any other off map arty, way to weak for its price. Maybe the cost has to lowered to 150muni or sth. It's worse than the Stuka dive bomb, fragmentation bombing run, TOT, and IL2 bombing run, but still has its use - specifically, wiping static arty. It's also better than the 240mm from US, which seems to be mostly about cool sound effects. This is only an issue if everything Axis needs to be clearly better than anything the Allies have.

Thread: USF Airborne Company6 Apr 2020, 01:13 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2020, 17:03 PMLoopDloop Ah yes Coh2, the bastion of realism. Literally find me one source of US riflemen taking 4-6 shots from a kar98 at point blank and not dying. Literally one source. Shocks, guards, and falls all come at 2cp, so not really. Seems that 6 man paras with weapon upgrades locked behind 3cp would be fine. Better yet, find a source of any tank surviving a direct hit from a 152mm round. Granted, actually hitting with a 152 wasn't that likely as it was more of an artillery piece and not really meant to be accurate. Here's a photo. Turns out this Panther only had one hit point, not 960. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestroyedTanks/comments/3h2jm9/panther_tanks_wrecked_by_152mm_shells_translation/ PS - this game is intended to be the arcade version of WWII, not realistic. MOW2 or SD are more realistic but nowhere near as fun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cavalry Riflemen6 Apr 2020, 01:03 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2020, 22:15 PMKiwiBirb Cavalry riflemen are a very good close quarters squad, but their dps beyond about 10 range is poor. Meanwhile Sturmpioneers have less damage below range 10 but can deal a lot more damage at farther ranges. What you want to do is hold your ground so that the Cavalry riflemen take damage as they close in and that’ll compensate for Sturmpioneer’s lower near dps No, he was the one with Cavalry riflemen, not the Sturmpios. If he wants to use those, he should probably play Ardennes Assault because that's where he'll have the most fun with them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: P47 Rocket Strike uses incorrect penetration effect5 Apr 2020, 16:40 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2020, 16:16 PMSkysTheLimit I get much more reliable performance from SCAS both against me and for me. Just seems harder to dodge and less likely to collide with structures Its also 40 munitions cheaper, not that that's a huge difference They don't seem to process the same. The P47 seems like it lines up a path to hit with rockets and regularly misses if the targets move, while the SCAS hits anything in the circle. When I play USF, it doesn't seem too bad but as Soviet, it's sometimes difficult to get SU85's out of the circle, particularly if they were using focused sight. The P47 also seems like it collides with terrain a lot more than SCAS, but I haven't used SCAS in awhile due to liking other doctrines better. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: 60 range TD5 Apr 2020, 03:28 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 19:30 PMGGnore C'mon man you know team weapons are pretty much redundant in anything larger than a 2v2 past the 20 min mark once indirect fire spam starts, even then using a 60 range crew weapon that can be de-manned and turned against you to deal with 60 range tds that can fire on the move is not going to work unless there's a significant skill gap between you and your opponent. Maybe now we're getting to the root of the problem? In: COH2 Balance
