Thread: 3v3 and 4v4 state of the game16 Dec 2019, 23:26 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2019, 23:04 PMRosbone I am saying they have a weakness in certain 4v4 maps. Yeah, but on the other side there are some maps where they perform way better than Ost. I'm with you that skill is more important. We got stomped by opponents and stomped opponets by ourselves way too often. Sometimes matchmaking is a bitch (maybe a little bit too often). Overall I do think axis have some more strong synergies for late game. Every team that paired Close the pocket at least on some maps with the right combination of other axis commanders knows how this can turn a game. Key for allied victory is constant aggression, if you sit back you will allow axis to pull some nasty late game combos. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 3v3 and 4v4 state of the game16 Dec 2019, 22:56 PM I'm playing mainly 3v3 and 4vs4. I played enough games with both sides, AT and RT. My personal experience is: The more axis players are playing OKW the more likely axis team will win (of course it is always better to have one Ost player than none for building caches and diversity). OKW can blob better and has the best early blob and team-weapon wiping machine around in the big game modes (one OKW player can always go for a fast Stuka tech first without getting punished by doing so).

Thread: Give Ober 20% damage reduction like Vet3 Grenadier？23 Nov 2019, 13:31 PM I do think this whole debatte is so funny because of this recent patch notes: Rangers Rangers are being more accessible, while their defensive stats are being adjusted to match all other infantry. Previously, they were the only ones to take less damage from all sources. - 0.9 Damage reduction removed. - Received Accuracy from 0.8 to 0.73. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF absent from tourney play again22 Nov 2019, 22:53 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 21:51 PMVermillion_Hawk I'd be happy with eliminating emplacements altogether honestly. None of them are ever useful at any stage of the game in anything approaching high-level play. Its already the case way below high-level play. Although I would never count me to this exklusive group I definitely know to remove them very easily. And I know a lot of opponents which do the same to me when I am playing brits, so I build them very rarely in some special spots or not at all. Emplacements are dead/wasted ressources atm and they where before the latest bofors nerf which was completely unnecessary. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF absent from tourney play again22 Nov 2019, 20:36 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 19:28 PMDonnieChan And that is the better solution than other way around Thats not even a legal argument. Every faction was somehow badly op at some point of the game. So Ostheer Uber-Panthers and Uber-Tigers right at the start of vanilla should be a reason that they should be rather up today, because it is better that way than it was in those days? Every faction should have a right to be fun and competitive in all game modes. As I said already: The main reason we can't balance UKF is the existence of commanders that heavily buff emplacements (Advanced Emplacements Commander) or make emplacements obsolete (if you ever used Firestorm Doctrine with the Fire Barrage for LEIG you know what I'm talking about). Those commanders shouldn't exist when we have a faction, that relies on emplacements to fill some of their important battlefield fighting spots. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF absent from tourney play again22 Nov 2019, 13:23 PM UKF is badly designed at his core beeing way to stationary. The latest patch for infantry only made it worse by shifting it in that direction even more. If you know what you are doing you can completely own UKF player with double LEIG build. I usually go Firestorm versus UKF. Snipe Infantry out of cover with LEIGs and use the fire rounds to burn down emplacements so fast that its not even funny anymore. I usually use the mobile truck for reinforcing and healing my LEIGs and my infantry. That way I'm more mobile (compared to SwS) and less prone to pushing and artillery because I can quickly relocate. Later JPIV owns anything but Churchill pretty hard if supported correctly by Volks or Raketen to counter flanks. Firefly with way worse ROF/DPS looses every TD duell. Only way I found to be halfway competitive as UKF is playing the new commander with Thompson infantry, mobile mortar and Quad halftrack. I like playing the M10 too. That way you can play much more mobile and aggressive. UKF needs some form of more mobility. Just deconstructing emplacements is not enough because you loose the whole investement and veterancy. And if you really want to have emplacements in the game (deconstructable and somehow moveable or not) there shouldn't be commanders who can make them overperforming (Advanced Emplacement Regiment) or obsolete (Firestorm Doctrine). That way you can never balance them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: "For Mother Russia" (sprinting while in combat)17 Nov 2019, 01:36 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2019, 23:21 PMJilet There are too many wrong here. Assault also effects commandos and Tommies & Commandos running and gunning with double Brens is absurd. lol, thanks to you and DerbyHat. I never used it when playing brits, because the description is completely wrong. Its wrong here at coh2.org in the updated abiliy guide too. So maybe its not on par with VA and FMR, but its way better than I thougt. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reduce pop for soviet tanks and infantry16 Nov 2019, 21:02 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2019, 20:35 PMCODGUY I think the pop count is way too high on most medium and above armor regardless of faction. 19 pop for a Churchill is stupid 18 pop for a Panther snd Comet is dumb 16 pop for Jackson and Firefly is also dumb 15 pop for a Jagpanzer IV is really dumb I do think this is true. Especially in team games where ressources are flowing and you often will reach the 100 population mark, there is no point of building mediums anymore. Just because TDs, Panthers, ad all the heavy tanks are way more pop efficient. Some of them cost barely more pop than a medium. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What's the next patch targeted objectives?16 Nov 2019, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2019, 15:49 PMIncendiaryRounds Please fix Stug TWP. I never thought there would be a more pathetic ability than RE volley fire, but Stug TWP might be it. I disagree, at least this two abilities do something tiny. Creeping Barrage from Katiusha for example is a whole different story. You pay ammunition to get a worse barrage. Yeah, cool its something like a negative ability/debuff you pay for XD In: COH2 Balance
Thread: "For Mother Russia" (sprinting while in combat)15 Nov 2019, 21:24 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2019, 20:46 PMJilet Are you planning to fix the UKF "Assault" too ? I mean pls do it. Do you mean Assault Operation? That one is not as strong as VA or FMR... For 100mun only your Tommies are affected, Commandos in the same doctrine are left out (would be way better for them). ... FMR basically let your shocks sprint into range, stop and shot, because they can't shoot while sprinting. Accordingly Penals can get closer to get a satchel charge off. Thus both squads will leave less men at their assault and more probabaqly do damage or force off enemy troops. Look at the CP requirements of the different abilities. FMR comes at 6 CPs and is meant to help these troops to get close when there is a lot of AI on the field that makes their live pretty hard. Imagine it would be there when you get your first shocks already... Oh man, that would be a whole different thing. If you want to nerf FMR I would make a ranged ability out of it instead of beeing global (like cover to cover). KW-1 buff recently made this doctrine somehow playable, nerfing FMR to hard will change that. While not beeing an aggressive early game doctrine it is not a good lategame doctrine either because it is missing a strong lategame tank or offmap. So what is its role? Its only real doctrinal powerspike is when you get your first KW-1 in addition to FMR, nerf one and its gone. I always thought VA and cover to cover are the best abilities of this type. They come in somehow strong commanders while not beeing too expensive for their effect (affecting different types of infantry, especially units like rangers or falls). In: COH2 Balance
