Thread: What really grinds your gears in CoH2?6 Mar 2022, 12:59 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2022, 18:09 PMdonofsandiego That's gonna be a hard "cap" from me, my friend. Oh yes, my favorite "tank doesn't understand what attack move means" lmao. I just end up hitting stop all the time because tank commanders don't understand what max range means. Don't even get me fucking started on A-Moving 251 Flaktruck. SOmeone forgot to program that when it sees the target it should stop, setup and fire and instead you a-move it, goes just behind that unit (making a dive) and just gets snared to oblivion.

Thread: Make Multiplayer COH3 free to play to save the franchise.6 Mar 2022, 12:57 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2022, 18:42 PMRosbone Wow. I have not payed any attention to AOE4. Least not while the COH2 server code needs updated. Fix that and I would buy AOE4 today. But I did not expect to see its player base has dwindled down to COH2 levels. Nice post! I have not thought about F2P or Coh3 so I do not have any opinions(yet). But those SteamCharts support my opinion that imbalanced/bad match making may help future sales and player retention. Is the MM in AOE4 balanced? To me, it's forced by the market. 60$ for a strategy game in 2022 is unheard of, even in the major leagues. Even if the gameplay is perfect (which, let's be honest, it won't as long as they allow community to balance things out) and the multiplayer is fair (huge gamble with lelic), people will just not buy in. Not even to mention that WW2 in general is a very very saturated era, and the competition is huge. I am not pitching a revolutionary idea or scheme, but the only way for survival for our beloved game. In: COH2 Gameplay

It's just hard to pitch that game model to corporate overlords I'm sure. Maybe, I don't know. Experience has shown that it's the only way sadly for a game in the strategy genre to even make it out of the door. 60$ is way too risky for a strategy game that may not even be around after 2 years.

There is no point in releasing a product if it's not even 1% competent against the market forces. You seriously expect kiddos to spend their hard earned bucks on a complex strategy game that (judging by AOE4 and COH2 in its release state) is not even that good? When the alternatives are perfectly addictive and FREE games like LOL and DOTA2? Do you seriously believe that? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 120MM SOV mortar5 Mar 2022, 15:39 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2022, 15:20 PMdonofsandiego Because not only do they keep their larger conscript base target size, they lose all their utility like sprint and snare. Putting cons into shocks is like plugging a hole in the wall with peanut butter. Yeah it will stop the draft for a little bit, but it's freaking peanut butter what are you doing with your life. Ok so you unironically tell the whole forum that it's better to retreat shock troops in order to reinforce them for x amount of manpower rather than using merge and retreating cons in order to reinforce them for x/2 amount of manpower. I would really hate to play with you as team. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The problem with USF Rear Echelon Squads4 Mar 2022, 14:19 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2022, 14:12 PMBetterDead ThanRed How about USF getting an RM as a starting unit? but still needing RE to build caches etc as usual, but lowering RE price down to 170 like CE. Regarding USF mortar, USF has 3 indirect stock, so they cannot overshadow each other too much, i suggest lowering price of USF mortar down to 200. Buffing USF mortar i feel would be gamebreaking RE used to be cheaper than they are now but that got nerfed since it was a pretty viable and fun tactic to just spam them. Worse than cons in many ways. Especially with Urban doctrine which gave them free rifle gren. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Has anyone noticed Grenadiers are really good?4 Mar 2022, 13:48 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2022, 06:25 AMOswaldMosley Brits are the most easy to counter faction. UKF is supremely vulnerable in the early game. Insta detonate grenade shots and flame grenades can keep Tommies out of Green cover, and Tommies aren't good unless green cover. -Better TD, debatable. -Mortar Pitt, useless when there's mortar half tracks and that one OKW commander. There's no way for the Brit player to keep his emplacements alive. -Churchill Croc is locked behind commanders. -Sexton, locked behind commander -Comet, easily countered and wrecked by the superior Panther -hold the line? What about all the insane powerful abilities that some Wehr commanders have, like dropping a nuclear bomb that automatically makes an enemy capture point neutral, or close the pocket? I don't disagree with what you say, just a note: Close the Pocket and Stuka Strike (the one you said neutralize a point) are really situational and doomed to failure if the enemy builds a cache or if the map has many cutoffs. Otherwise it's insta gg yes. Just a note. In: COH2 Balance
