Thread: PTRS now OP?7 Apr 2015, 21:46 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 21:39 PMdaspoulos I don't know if this counts but I got to rank 12 2v2 soviet AT purely from con blob ptrs spamming. Obviously I dropped down but I did it. Dawwwww, I was hoping for ya to get in the top 10. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergrenadiers underperforming (with video proof)7 Apr 2015, 21:25 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 21:21 PMAerohank Panzergrenadiers are legit units. I don't know why so many people write them off as useless without shreks. I use Pgrens every time I play Ostheer and they never let me down. Though admittedly I did struggle with them at first until I realized that you do not need to cross the distance between mid and close range to out-DPS conscripts and riflemen. It is the crossing of this distance that gives bad results because you won't do much DPS on the move and you'll likely lose a squad member in the process. Just moving into cover at mid range (or slightly closer) and letting them rip is enough to win engagements (with taking casualties), but they really start to shine when you can use them in flanking maneuvers. I sometimes wonder if vet 2 rifle grenades are making them look bad too. Why flank when you can just blow a squad up from the fog of war instead? In: Lobby

My issue with ruse was it sort of gets human wavey once you hit certain economic thresholds and cover/positioning was very binary. I dunno I figure I'll give it a shot ^^ The terrain interactions are pretty much the same as in RUSE (from what I recall from playing RUSE's open beta). In: Other Games
Thread: Dawn of War 3 likely under development7 Apr 2015, 20:30 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2015, 23:39 PMThoseDeafMutes They might do another major dlc for coh2 first, but personally I'm expecting a DoW3 announcement this year with 2016 release. Oh jeez, I'd hope not. The patch lull over the holidays already made the CoH2 community go nuts. CoH2's PR would probably shatter if they heard about Relic working majorly on another title (and I say this regardless of whether their staff is properly allocated to do so, people would assume the worst).

Yep, by 15 DPS at range 19 (actual comparison: PG's DPS will be 2.25 that of Rifle's) and the superior received accuracy also helping greatly. In: Lobby

Thread: The Brummbar7 Apr 2015, 19:17 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 18:29 PMAlexzandvar Performance is tied to cost, so the two are inseparable. The M10 on paper is still eh but it's extremely cheap so it's a amazing unit in practice. On paper all of Ostheer T4 is great, but crap in practice because of the extremely high cost your paying for it. Perhaps they mean the unit's own performance is satisfactory (which I'd imagine would probably really mean "Please don't make it so it one-shots everything on legs all the time to improve the unit") for good gameplay - its health, armour, DPS, etc - and the game is better off messing with the circumstances in obtaining it instead?

Thread: Relic, let the community balance the game7 Apr 2015, 01:34 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 01:31 AMNuclear Arbitor because you have to find it in the workshop (most people don't know about it), install it, start a custom game advertising it, and then have other people who also have it installed be on at the same time and want to play with you. Yeah, this forum? It's a tiny, tiny minority. By far, most players won't be bothering with the game enough to get somewhere like here and hear about the Kappatch. This is a pretty consistent rule with most games - you ain't ever gonna see the majority of its players even make a post on an official forum. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Over nerfed Obers7 Apr 2015, 00:34 AM Oberkommando West doesn't bother me as much as Wehrmacht. It's made up, but artistic licence works fine with that. Wehrmacht isn't made up and is very misapplied. I was definitely much happier without the Wehrmacht being explicitly named so I could assume it was Ostheer (also a much cooler name)...

Thread: The Brummbar7 Apr 2015, 00:31 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2015, 00:21 AM☭ Калашникова ☭ DPS wise Sturmtiger sucks. its all about that burst damage and ability to shoot though sight blockers. Yeah, but bouncing AT guns at bit under 50% of the time would also make the Sturmpanzer a noticeably better AT meatshield in addition to the obvious DPS over "If the enemy isn't paying attention I will wipe their infantry. If not, I'm a waste of time and micro". To be honest, upping the Sturmtiger frontal armour a bunch would actually be pretty useful for it since it'd be more capable of getting all things on legs (especially AT gun) to flee in terror of its approach more easily since it won't lose health as fast. If it fails to kill anything, it'll at least take less damage to repair and less time to threaten the enemy's infantry again. That could actually be a pretty useful niche role in large games, with a team to set-up around the opening the ST made for them. In: COH2 Gameplay
