General Information


Thread: XCOM9 Aug 2015, 18:30 PM Umm? That wasn't an estimated date, it was announced as such by the developers. They might conceivably have to delay, these things happen, but not usually after an announcement at such a high profile event. The fact that some second party retailers may or may not have dates doesn't mean anything significant; for all we know Firaxis just don't want to put things in the hands of others, after recent leaks of things like Fallout 3 and Stellaris. Too much tea-leaf reading, in short. In: Other Games
Thread: Fallschirmjaegers: A small re-design9 Aug 2015, 18:21 PM If there' one thing that WW2 demonstrated, it's that big airborne operations always produce high casualties. cf. Arnhem etc. So I don't think this is particularly pertinent. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Fallschirmjaegers: A small re-design9 Aug 2015, 18:04 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2015, 23:20 PMMr. Someguy This is also the reason the Battle of Crete was such a failure, many weapon crates landed off course and the British Army arrived at them first, leaving many Paratroopers with only Pistols to fight with. Umm, this is the battle of Crete which the Germans won, yes? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bazooka accuracy buff?8 Aug 2015, 22:50 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2015, 22:28 PMbraciszek A rifleblob all wielding zooks? Thats a problem? USF's AI squad meant to beat grens and volks all equipped with AI hindering weapons? Pull up your own infantry and watch the riflemen do little damage. In the late game, Axis is rather more likely than Allies to have lost infantry presence their smaller squad size makes them more vulnerable to wipes. On top of this, Rifles still have three AI weapons per squad, and zooks are far from utterly ineffective against infantry anyway. And if this isn't enough, you can deal with Axis infantry with your tanks, if you have to. Sherman HE, etc. A situation in which the entire USF is geared up to counter Axis's single effective strength is an absolutely terrible idea. In: COH2 Balance

Except the most common and most important late game tanks you mean, like the Panther and Tiger. Certainly. Because it's on top of AT rifle 'nades, AT guns, and tanks. Or P-47 strikes. Damage is cumulative. Plus, they don't even have to to be Rifles - it could be a blob of cheap-'n-cheerful RE's. I think this idea is just nuts. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Bazooka accuracy buff?8 Aug 2015, 22:00 PM I think that whats missing here is consideration of the fact that the USF can equip every infantry unit they have with a zook, or even double zooks. A 4-rifles blob firing 8 zooks every few seconds is bad enough as it is, and a dire threat to all axis armour. Ost can't field nearly as many PG's, and OKW can only upgrade one shreck. This is quality versus quantity again and making zooks identical to shrecks would almost certainly destroy any parity between the two sides completely. ETA: and making zooks cheaper would only make it even easier for USF to mass blob zooks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stuart and Quad rush are pretty retarded,but....8 Aug 2015, 19:50 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2015, 09:31 AMvasa1719 You forget that 222 are SCOUT, not tank. Problem is it doesn't work well as a scout. The whole point of using an ARMOURED car as a scout is that it is resilient to small-arms fire, and only really runs into trouble if it stumbles into a mine or an anti-tank weapon. As things stand, it's very difficult to use for scouting, because infantry rifle fire is a serious threat to it. It's arguably not even as effective in that role as a kubelwagen, because the kubel can defend itself by suppressing the infantry it finds, and then make its escape. I think the 222 is in an odd place, without much of a role at the moment. In: COH2 Balance
