Thread: Skill Based Abandoned Vehicles 7 Feb 2017, 21:13 PM If anything I'd like to see them add a map ping every time your vehicle is abandoned... I often find that the audio cues aren't enough if the match is really intense and had no clue there was an abandoned vehicle until it returns to haunt me. I simultaneously think that abandons are stupid because its RNG completely turning around a game in some cases and nice because they add some risk-reward to tank dives where there is some risk to you abandoning a vehicle in your opponents base/where they can easily recover it.

Thread: 203 howi needs buff7 Feb 2017, 20:51 PM You know how to make B-4 better? Make KV1s not suck so the commander is actually worth picking in competitive play. Or just bring back precision shot but make it cost 150-200 Muni Far as I know the AoE has never been nerfed on B-4 so yeah... it's fine as the RNG cannon that it is. If you think B4 AoE is bad then I can't imagine what you think about the British 25 Pounders that loft pillows at the Nazis instead of shells. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF emplacement7 Feb 2017, 20:35 PM ... You do realize how long it takes to shoot down a fighting position with small arms right? Shit, if you let your opponent just sit next to it all day plinking away with rifle fire you deserve to lose it. USF is a mobile attacking faction - you should be glad they can build MG positions period (Soviets say hello). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What Bug/QOL fixes would you like to see in patch?4 Feb 2017, 22:01 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Feb 2017, 07:17 AMWaegukin A pair of random ones I noticed today. -Greyhound doesn't have Prioritize Vehicle -Support Paratroopers' vet 2 mentions passive heals, which doesn't actually work. Recon Company needs an overhaul in general really... only thing worth a damn is the I&R Pathfinder Arty and you don't really want to waste a commander pick on a one trick pony like that :/ In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What thing that they patched out do you miss the most?3 Feb 2017, 01:23 AM Surprised noone has mentioned the old super ISU-152 and Elephants yet. I do actually kind of miss the old OP Churchills from Brits launch... they actually made going Anvil worth it instead of the now mostly no-brainers Hammer pick. In: Lobby
Thread: What Bug/QOL fixes would you like to see in patch?2 Feb 2017, 20:46 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2017, 20:28 PMWhat Doth Life?! Minimum range should be removed on all AT nades. A riflemen squad is more likely to get fully wiped while attempting to fire an AT nade than actually succeeding. Think this is more of a balance issue per se - personally I don't mind it because it's currently a bit easier to AT infantry bazooka blob as USF than any other faction and at least the minimum range means that a blobber has to respect crushing a little. (Even then its usually suicide for the tank). I think its a fair trade off seeing as how USF gets snares for "free" with Vet. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Commander(s?) with camo ability2 Feb 2017, 18:21 PM I thought I read somewhere that the Ambush accuracy bonus from the camo was bugged where it wasn't consistently triggering? I could be wrong. It's a neat ability - one fun way to use it is to put it on P Grens and then use the Camo to spring grenade ambushes on capping squads your opponent isn't paying attention too - similar to how some Brits use Commandos. Like others have said the ability mostly suffers from being in Commanders which are only so-so in overall utility compared to the usual Meta commanders you see. (Call-in Armor almost always reigns supreme in commander choice) In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Why do top-players play OKW this way (1on1 question)31 Jan 2017, 20:14 PM Personally I use the Command Panther as more of a supplemental counter pick to my opponent's commander (Mostly T85, Easy 8, or Call-In Sherman Spam where PZ4s will struggle and your own Mark Vehicle helps you greatly). Otherwise it's generally better to have T4 for the flexibility to get better AI with PZ4 or a JP4 on certain maps where you can use the JP4's range and cloak to your advantage. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: What Bug/QOL fixes would you like to see in patch?31 Jan 2017, 15:38 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jan 2017, 01:28 AMMr.Smith However, you can still force them to attack vehicles only regardless: - Make sure prioritise vehicles was on when you entered the building - Use force-facing (A + click) Thanks for the tip! Bit odd that it only works with Force Facing but I'll take it over nothing. +1 to Comet and Cromwell Smoke Shells being unresponsive and not firing all the time. That would be another good fix. +1000 to Strategic Points no longer block vehicle pathing but I'm sure that's probably outside of the scope of the patch (but that addition would make it one of the best patches ever) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Churchill AVRE30 Jan 2017, 15:47 PM The AVRE is pretty good but the main thing that prevents it from being good in my estimation is that Relic removed the "Hold Fire" button from it - so any time you see an enemy unit the turret turns to face it regardless of whether or not you want to fire at it. This results in additional time for you to turn and fire at other units - giving them more time to retreat. The good news is that they are adding it back in the new patch (thanks Mr. Smith and co.!)
