Thread: Win-Ratio 29.10. - 21.11.2014 + Other Fun Stats24 Nov 2014, 17:04 PM Looking at the data provided, I wonder if all the factions were IDENTICAL with just different skins and names, we'd still have similar results statistically. My bet - probably real close. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Blobbing24 Nov 2014, 16:56 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2014, 15:48 PMNapalm This community is pretty funny. The vast majority agree that blobbing is an issue but when counters are buffed to be effective or new counters introduced the following threads start to appear. Unit ABC123 was squad wiped by unit DFG456. Squad wiping is not fair!!1! In my most recent memory I've seen threads that follow this very predictable format for the.. IS2. Demolition charges. IL2 strafing run. The B4. The ISU152. The Brummbar. The Katusha. The walking Stuka. News flash you can't defeat blobs unless you kill the units. You can't kill the units without squad wiping. It cannot be both ways. Well, here's my idea to deal with reducing RNG-based squadwiping WITHOUT rendering antiblob units ineffective. http://www.coh2.org/topic/26156/new-infantry-grouping/post/249960 In: COH2 Gameplay

We just need a spread out command so you can choose when you want your squad on cover or being safe of AoE. I think this would be the best solution without having to implement artificial damage capping, but with the CoH2 engine unit formation is really tricky to have it perform just as we would like it to - just look at vehicle pathing.

Thread: ISU-15224 Nov 2014, 15:33 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2014, 22:03 PMvoltardark ISU-152 is now ok. But i had a game this morning where a Jagdtiger were one shotting conscript squads and at-gun one after another. In last resort, i assaulted it with 3 conscript squads, 3 at-nades were deflected and then it one shotted my 3 conscripts in row... and it became vet 2.... I rammed it with 2 T-34 and stunned it twice in row while firing at him 3 at-guns. He was able to back but was nearly dead.(I did lost my 2 vet 1 T-34...) Balanced as the ISU ? I guess not and by far. But we still won the game...(4vs4). replay or didn't happen In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New infantry grouping23 Nov 2014, 19:42 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2014, 17:42 PMkeithsboredom sort of off topic but could you describe this cap you're referring to? In Warcraft 3, the total AOE damage possible by a single source is capped at a certain number. What I'm suggesting is that AOE damage should be capped per SQUAD. Example : A Conscript has 6 models of 80 hp each, making it 480 hp. But if the models are clumped, a single 80 damage grenade will wipe it. Lets say we cap the grenade damage to 300. Even if the models are very close, at least 2 would survive. Or maybe 3 would survive with less hp on each model. Calculation can vary, but you get the idea. If it was a grenadier squad, with effective health of 320, would probably leave a single model with 20 hp by the 80 damage grenade. Of course this is capped by squad, so if a single shell/grenade hits multiple squads it should deal damage to both squads without being capped. It might take a step back from realism but with appropriate numbers it shouldn't be that bad, and make the game less prone to RNG-induced stress without touching the anti-blobbing power of AOE weaponry.

Thread: Jagdtiger23 Nov 2014, 08:45 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2014, 22:01 PMferwiner Are we really discussing jagttiger in 1v1? O.o that kind of choice should be punished with "defeat" banner immidately not to waste both players time. Jagd has no place in 1v1 and souldn't have, it's kind of obvious for such expensive unit that only counters tanks, 1 enemy cannot even field enough tanks to make it worth it and can float you with infantry as long as he is not complete idiot. Once ISU hits the field with guards, AT-guns and mines covering its back, flanking is no longer an option. HelpingHans and many other top ranked players end up picking Jagdtiger in 1v1s as well despite the nerf, because are simply no counters against ISU past 30 minute mark when Soviets have 300+ munitions to spam mines I really hate argumentum ab auctoritate but I don't think you can simply put away Jagdtiger not viable for 1v1.
