Thread: [week 3 may preview] alternative to crush removal19 May 2016, 19:58 PM +1 to OP - I believe Miragefla is testing something similar in his Mod now. I feel like the threat of crushing is important to keep otherwise AT blobs are a bit too easy to pull off. In my experience crushing isn't particularly gamebreaking (M10 and Cromwell aside) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [2v2] How to deal with this playstyle?19 May 2016, 19:30 PM On a side note, consider adding a commander with LeFH to your loadout. Personally I added Mechanized to my 2v2 loadout for Brits that go super heavy on emplacements. Though Mortar HT works good as a fast counter to emplacements (make sure to use the Incendiary Barrage). Its all about keeping constant pressure and not letting the Brit repair You can see a good replay of LeFH wrecking Emplacement heavy Brits here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6YVJ_DonAo In: Replay Reviews
Thread: [OKW] Possible alternatives for the MG42 call in19 May 2016, 18:50 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2016, 20:59 PMPencilBatRation That does not justify going for the most garbage abilities either. Just because these aren't regularly used abilities doesn't mean they are garbage - if anything they suffer from being in so-so commanders that aren't commonly used so you never see them. For The Fatherland gives a -35% Received Accuracy Buff (for reference Vet 3 Rifleman have -43% Total) and as far as I know it stacks with Veterency. A potent defensive buff like that makes sense for Fortifications. Though Hull Down is equally useful (Calling Cloaked Hulled JP4s OP now) LeFH doesn't make sense CP replacement-wise but would be to give OKW an anti-Sim City tool Recoup Losses gives you 20 MP back per model and games (particularly close matches) are often decided on MP Bleed... its not flashy but its far from useless, especially given Falls notorious MP bleed. Recon flight also makes sense for this doctrine given the Luftwaffle flavor of the doctrine. Maybe Supply Drop Zone? Though that doesn't really mesh with the OKW "supply-starved" flavor assuming Relic even cares about that anymore. In: Lobby
Thread: Week 3 Update to the Balance Mod19 May 2016, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2016, 16:06 PMGrittle Which is 100% BS. The Panzerfaust should be removed from the volks. or atleast be a Doctrinal Bonus in a commander. Another option is to tie the Faust to the STG Package - would make them less omni-present initially and reward you for squad wipes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [OKW] Possible alternatives for the MG42 call in18 May 2016, 20:19 PM Seeing as how MG42 is a 1CP ability swapping them out for higher end stuff doesn't seem logical. Fortifications - For the Fatherland - Defensive Oriented buff would make sense. Luft. - I'd say Recoup Losses to help offset Fallshimjaeger MP bleed. The Sprint ability from Encirclement would be neat too... (though maybe OP with StrumPios lol) In: Lobby
Thread: The COH2 Ability Guide18 May 2016, 19:28 PM I think there are a few missing abilities - don't think I saw Sector Arty for Wehrmacht or Zeroing Arty for OKW. EDIT: Also the Sector Bombing from Overwatch or the Warning Flares from Overwatch (if that counts as an ability) In: Guides
Thread: Week 3 Update to the Balance Mod18 May 2016, 19:16 PM Pretty solid... though I'm kind of curious as to why they upped the damage on Bundle Grenades in addition to the AOE buffs. Its overpriced in its current form for sure but it may be a little bit too wipey - will have to test for sure. Looking forward to see what the new commander abilities on Luftwaffles and Fortifications will be... I think For the Fatherland! makes sense for Fortifications. Recoup Losses would be really helpful for Luftwaffles to offset dat Fallshim. MP bleed. (even though it already has a lot of Munitions-based abilities) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How do you use Tommies? (request for replays)18 May 2016, 16:49 PM Kind of curious - would earlier bolster sections help this cause? Personally I don't see early bolstering all that often (if its not skipped entirely) but one would think that early 5 man squads would give you an advantage over non-vetted Axis counterparts - especially if you have several squads that can benefit from it. Coupled with early Brens (Bolster + Weapon Racks would be your typical Bofors fuel) it wouldn't delay your Cromwell teching any. You'd still be pretty reliant on mines and 6 pounders if you opponent goes 444 or Luches though (might need AEC if you don't get enough fuel harassment) In: UKF Strategies
