Thread: Feedback Request: 1v1 as Soviets [Stalingrad]19 Aug 2015, 03:05 AM Thanks! I was just afraid of getting support weapons because of how easy it is to flank on stalingrad. In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Grenadier Pop Cap19 Aug 2015, 01:08 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Aug 2015, 01:06 AMKoufromMizuchi I don't know, is that why 1vs1 Top200 win rates have been the lowest most of the time after the last patch? The win rates are probably off because of fast M5, which OKW is able to handle a little bit better than Ost. But that has nothing to do with the effectiveness of grens. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadier Pop Cap19 Aug 2015, 00:58 AM No, grens are the best infantry and Ost has 420 starting MP. Any reduction in pop cap would further buff one of the strongest factions. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Sturmtiger poll18 Aug 2015, 21:38 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 20:54 PMAlexzandvar The issue was that there was a thing called "The Panther Gap" and that your only mobile AT that could take punishment was the Panther. Since the JPIV and Rackten are supposed to be used re-actively and for ambushes not slug fests. So your first mobile durable AT platform was 175 fuel gated behind 80 fuel and a fuel reduction disability on top of that. There was also no durable AI platform other than the KT for late game use. If you want a good sign the OKW changes were positive, in 2v2 and 1v1 OKW used to be the least played faction; now it rivals Ostheer. "The Panther Gap" is 2-3 minutes. Also, the faction with the most AT options hardly struggled in the mid again against tanks. Panther could come out at 16-17 minutes easily. A JPIV can come out shortly after soviet T3 and Stuart. Not to mention you shouldn't be arguing how a raketen and a jpiv are supposed to be used when the idea of a generalist tank goes against what OKW is supposed to be, a faction that has strong hard hitting specialized units. OKW didn't need a tank against late game infantry either. That is what the vet 5 system is for. But both of us are just arguing opinion so it doesn't really matter. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger poll18 Aug 2015, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 20:36 PMAlexzandvar The commander was bad and the PIV's were bad. Nobody want's to pay 210 fuel for two sub-par medium tanks that come way to late when you could spend that fuel on a Command Panther, or just wait to get a KT. Also OKW needed a non-doctrinal medium tank, switching the Sturmtiger and PIV just killed two birds with one stone. Now the commander is bad and has a gimmicky unit. Hooray relic. OKW needed a non doctrinal medium tank? People keep saying that but I haven't actually heard a compelling argument for it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger poll18 Aug 2015, 20:34 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 20:20 PMAlexzandvar Well the PIV call in's were shit and the T4 Sturmtiger was the least built tank in the game so.... No, the PIVs were fine it was the commander that was bad. To fix it they gave it a death cannon. I guarantee the majority of people who use elite armor today only use it to get the sturm tiger and ignore all other abilities. Rather than making people want to use elite armor by giving it a gimmicky unit, they should have looked at other abilities that would synergize with the premise. But that requires work.

Thread: Sturmtiger poll18 Aug 2015, 20:15 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 20:09 PMAlexzandvar Before it couldn't reliably wipe one squad because the damage drop off at far was insane. The damage modifier at far used to be .003, which was changed to .3 with the new patch. In the previous patch at all areas beyond 7.5 in it's 10 meter blast radius it did approx 32 damage. And I thought that was perfectly fine. I actually don't like the change, because I liked the PIV call ins and the T4 sturmtiger. But then again, I think a lot of the very powerful units should be reworked. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger poll18 Aug 2015, 20:04 PM By far shooting through objects. The old sturmtiger could reliably wipe one squad and kill a bunch of stuff in its AOE, now it wipes everything. If it can shoot through shotblockers in the FOW then there needs to be a chance for the squad to survive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M5 HT with quad 50. destroyed main gun issue18 Aug 2015, 04:55 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 04:23 AMmiragefla May be the animation, but I could have sworn that the 222 loses the autocannon if it gets main gun destroyed give how many times I would have wrecked a Quad on a sliver of HP only for it to recieve the main gun crit due to that dumb thing where small-arms automatically break weapons if you drop below 25%. Nah, it still shoots both guns. So it is those two units being bugged, not the game thinking that the original MG (the replaced one) was destroyed. In: COH2 Bugs
