Thread: About the comeback of the mortar pit...4 Sep 2015, 05:27 AM Meh, dislodging OKW trucks dominates mid game. It didn't break anything. In a MP starved faction, 400 MP is a huge investment. It is good for controlling territory in 1v1 (if you somehow afford it) and even better in 2v2. In larger games the range is too small for how big the maps are. And while it can be useful as a fire and forget (Like all mortars and especially WFA artillery), like all artillery it will perform 100 times better if micro'd That being said, I would like another hammer anvil choice in T2 that unlocks bofors and mortar and adds another unit to the AEC. But it won't happen. OpieOP In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Brace needs a serious nerf.4 Sep 2015, 05:16 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2015, 04:56 AMAlexzandvar OKW trucks are absolutely front line. Most maps your trucks will always be in enemy mortar range. Again it seems like people are being way to dismissive of the fact that a brace like ability that disabled the trucks benefits in return for say 50% reduced damage (not 75% like Brit Brace) would be nice. Maybe for your playstyle. But I would say the majority of games I watch OKW trucks are simply built in the base or the next territory out from it. Hardly frontline. I think you overstate how "aggressive" OKW has to be. Being aggressive is certainly highrisk high reward but it isn't the end all be all of strategies. It isn't a hard concept. Don't want your trucks destroyed? Don't build them outside of your base. Especially with the ML20 Nerf rngJesus be praised. There is no reason to give brace to things that do not HAVE to be built near the front line. And as others have said, when OKW trucks cost pop cap then making them easier to defend on the frontline should be considered. (3 pios, 3 medics, 2 gunners) Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2015, 04:56 AMAlexzandvar This less about making killing emplacements easier, more the double standard that other factions have to make significant sacrifices while recieving less. This is such a useless and tired argument considering the game is based around asymmetrical balance. There is tons of crap that allies have that would make Axis better and vice versa, but that doesn't mean they should get it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brace needs a serious nerf.4 Sep 2015, 04:51 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2015, 10:47 AMgokkel Same applies to OKW tech structures, but I think people are in favour of them being destroyable. A better comparison would be OKW flak emplacement, which I think needs some good buffs. OKW trucks shouldn't be on the front line fighting, with the slight exception of the FlakHQ, even then, it is more for dholding down rear territory. Brit Emplacements are too much of an investment to spam them and hold rear territory (not to mention they have no use, OKW truck can build units) You really can't make the emplacements easier to kill without removing them entirely from the game. The most refreshing thing about brits so far is that each game is different in terms of what units and structures we see. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stormtroopers less then Partisans4 Sep 2015, 04:40 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2015, 03:59 AMKoufromMizuchi Why would I compare them to partisans? They fill a completely different role? Why do these units need to be compared at all other than the fact that they both spawn from ambient buildings? Why does it burn you up so much that partisans might be better than stormtroopers? But you are just an axis cry baby at this point. I think you made the thread about grens being 6 or 7 pop cap and some obscure reference from relic about the change log and why it should be reverted. The commander hasn't changed since launch. The stormtroopers have a very specific role in the context of the commander. They are nothing more and nothing less than a unit to help initiate close the pocket. If they get pushed off then you aren't using them in their intended role. Deal with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stormtroopers less then Partisans4 Sep 2015, 03:14 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2015, 02:31 AMKoufromMizuchi Stuka is can't be used to random area. It can't be only used at flags and it's aoe is really small. You don't even know about this doctrine well, yet you're kindly telling me they're not shock troops. Sorry, but I already know they're not shock troops and I never want them to be. But this unit is just meh right now. I've used the doctrine extensively. You make it sound like they are meant to be assault troops. They aren't. Historically stormtroopers were specialized infiltration units, not frontline assault soldiers (that is what I meant by shock troopers). My point about the stuka, was that all abilities, stuka, tank decap, and stormtroopers, are mean't to be used in conjunction with Close the pocket. Because of their intended role, they are fine.

Thread: Stormtroopers less then Partisans4 Sep 2015, 01:23 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2015, 00:27 AMKoufromMizuchi I know how to use them. I wrote up there. But when I read how Relic care about Partisans,(patch note for preview mod) i just felt to speak this out. It's just extremely inefficient for 'behind the lines' unit. Any unit coming through building is more efficient than this unit. Seeing as how they are supposed to be used in conjunction with tanks, and stuka bombs to use an ability powerful enough to literally kill every unit on the opposing side...they are fine. They give AT support or assault/ambush support. Also, since it has come up somewhere else in this thread, stormtroopers are not shock troops, they are more like infiltration soldiers that carry out sneaky raids, despite what their name implies.

Thread: New bugs3 Sep 2015, 22:52 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2015, 17:54 PMBurts No it wasn't. Anyways more bugs as reported by Cruzz. 1) Relic accidentally gave grens a double buff by applying the 9% received accuracy and 15% accuracy buff two times. 2) USF mines dont actually do anything, still 3) M1919s were given incremental and suppresion buffs that HMGs got, was this intended? 4) DSHK lost its HMG buffs again. Whoops. I guess I took findings from Cruzz as patchnotes In: COH2 Bugs
