Thread: British Patch 3 Sep27 Aug 2015, 00:25 AM All flame weapons now do more damage and are better at killing weapons teams and stopping garrisoned units =/= a nerf. Yes you can no longer clown car chase an enemy to his base and kill half his infantry in the first 4 minutes of the game and win, but you can have much more reliable performance. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: USF and potential suggestions for its Design27 Aug 2015, 00:11 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2015, 23:55 PMOmega_Warrior Do you think Relic is just going to go "Welp, I guess USF shouldn't have a pershing after all" after months of work modeling and animating these units? I think you are the one with his hopes a little too high. If they spent months modeling and animating these units, then why haven't they been released already because it's a pretty dire state of affairs that USF and OKW have been stuck with the same 6 commanders for over a year. Like hope for the best but expert the worst dude. In: Lobby
Thread: USF and potential suggestions for its Design26 Aug 2015, 22:57 PM The Goliath and many other legacy models have been in the game for over a year and we have not seen any new commanders; so honestly I wouldn't get yer hopes up. Might be the "big announcement" after Brits hit the field, god only knows. In: Lobby
Thread: British Patch 3 Sep26 Aug 2015, 22:55 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2015, 22:33 PMMaschinengewehr I know OKW have no real counter to the ML-20 but nerfing it with changes such as these is not fair. The size of most 1v1 maps does not conciliate the need of forward placement all of the time. Again, it's a player choice. You aren't being forced to place trucks forward and if you do so, how can you complain about the potential counter/punishment for doing so? If howies were unable to target HQ sectors then OKW players would have a choice of safe placement or opt for forward placement high risk/high reward. But I agree, 200 damage and then maybe 240 damage with vet would be about right for the ML-20. Except that forward truck placement is entirely how OKW was designed. You start with the least MP of any faction (due to it being concentrated in your starting Sturms squad) and thus your starting map presence is artificially limited. Yes on several 1v1 maps this isn't the biggest problem, but on others it's easy to get pushed right off the field due to the relative power and quantity of Allied basic infantry over your own. Katyusha's, mortars, ect can all punish truck placement but they don't do it with such high damage and deadliness. The issue with the old ML-20 was that the cooldown was to short to actually get any repairing done while doing repair while barraging would just lose you all your Sturms, so 2 barrages would normally always kill the truck.

Thread: British Patch 3 Sep26 Aug 2015, 22:27 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2015, 22:08 PMMaschinengewehr Does this mean that the M7 mines have been completely removed/reworked then? Do Assault Engineers get access to them as well? Why no USF alpha changes added? And instead of flat nerfing the ML-20 why not just disable howitzers ability to barrage HQ sectors? Placing OKW trucks in forward positions IS A CHOICE of a player and the ML-20 could be considered a counter to them. HQ sector barraging is a scumbag tactic however. But bring on the Brits! The issue was OKW had no real counter to it and placing trucks outside of the base is necessary for OKW to compete on many different maps. 160 is to low (IMO), 200 would have been the right amount of damage to adjust it to. 300 was waaay to much.

Q: can we have certain explosives generate green cover (at least partially)? Railway, B4, Stuka, 240mm Barrage... Demo charges can In: COH2 Gameplay

I don't see how making it much much more effective against slow hard to move units like weapons teams, garrisoned buildings, and so on will kill it. Like I would gladly take more consistent performance (which is what we are getting) instead of just base diving which is what we have now. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Patch 3 Sep26 Aug 2015, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2015, 21:12 PMJason_RE Units will still clump when in cover. Its the only way they can fit in cover. Its a choice the player will have to make when facing the enemy. If there is a lot of AOE damage coming your way, you might not want to be in cover. This is also true when facing flamethrower units. Your squads take much less damage when you stand outside cover because they don't clump up. Thanks for posting here Jason.

Thread: British Patch 3 Sep26 Aug 2015, 21:11 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2015, 21:04 PMClassyDavid To be fair Riflemen are meant to the baseline, most versatile infantry squad for a faction. They should be one of the best scaling and have good utility. I do hope they provide stats for the veterancy of the British, makes the jobs of those stat finders much easier for the poor lads. The way British Vet worked (assuming they haven't changed it) is that you have a lot of stuff packed into each level of vet (with high requirements ofc). They essentially have vet 5 for all intensive purposes. Which raises the question why didn't they just do this with OKW. In: COH2 Gameplay
