Thread: Patch notes 29 Oct24 Oct 2015, 03:37 AM Pretty sure the AA Halftrack change is just an animation fix so that it doesn't look like the gunner decided to ram the gun through the drivers head while it's firing forwards. All in all a solid patch. I'm glad to see that the Pak Howie's radius nerf wasn't as large as in the preview- at least it's larger radius somewhat justifies its cost and longer auto fire time. Autoface nerf is good IMO, further rewarding players for good micro is a good thing. On many of the more narrow maps you should rarely need to re-position them anyway In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Oct Balance Preview Patch Notes Gathered WIP16 Oct 2015, 04:48 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2015, 02:38 AMmycalliope why did they increased armor on churchill again..?? it now deflects shot now i have to invest too much in at like barton vs romeo.?? if you want 240 armor decrease the health or 200 armor or 1400 health(which i like). Ummm because it's still a heavy tank and it should bounce shots. Consider this. JP4 = 230 Armor OKW PZ4 = 234 KV-8 = 240 Brummbar = 260 KV-1 = 300 Armor Do you think PZ4s and KV-8s bounce too much? Nobody even says KV-1s are OP. (Albeit that's more due to its gun than anything) Considering how slow the Churchill is it needs to deflect something or else its useless and nobody will build it. 240 is a better compromise when you consider the Churchill's higher MP and teching costs and PAK 40s and StuGs will pen 240 armor more than often enough to counter Churchills but 200 is low enough that PZ4s and Shreks would be too effective.

Thread: LeIG AND Packhowitzer are useless without auto facing15 Oct 2015, 14:05 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2015, 13:51 PMVinyl41 on a serious note this nerf is just hands down useless the easiest fix would be simply reverting the last buff and done both pack howi and isg dont cause cancer anymore +1 I feel like they were both in a pretty good place before the last buff (at least I don't recall anyone complaining about them then) That being said I wouldn't be opposed to some finer tuning like reducing the ISG's Vet 1 bonus a tad and so on. I get that Relic is trying to start at the extreme ends of nerfs and use community feedback to find a sweet spot but part of me feels like they are making this more complicated than it has to be.

Thread: Zooka wiping out inf14 Oct 2015, 01:49 AM Its more of a RNG annoyance than gamebreaking for me but it does happen. Couple of days ago I watched a Shrek snipe my British Sniper and it wasn't even at point blank range or anything. :/ In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: [Balance Preview] Pack Howitzer vs Infantry Gun13 Oct 2015, 01:49 AM The nerf to Pack Howie's aoe radius is kind of perplexing to me as well... the Pack being more expensive and slower firing always seemed somewhat okay due to the Pack's better aoe but now that they have the same radius in the Mod the ISG seems like you get a much better bang for your buck. I feel like Relic needs to revert the AOE nerf or decrease the MP cost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: October Balance Preview10 Oct 2015, 02:47 AM Changes seem mostly pretty good. I imagine some of them will be slightly adjusted after the community plays the Mod for a bit (maybe Tommy's reinforce price slightly increased or what have you). Not sure how I feel about the Churchill change... it definitely needs toned down but now it'll only have 5 more armor than Easy-8s and with its lack of speed I just see it getting gangbanged fairly easily. Especially when you consider the stage of the game it shows up at with the Anvil teching cost. Kind of wish they'd have just slightly reduced both its HP + Armor instead of taking off 80 armor but we'll see how it plays. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic FYI, UKF's emplacements are useless due to ISG's8 Oct 2015, 19:39 PM On a side note, emplacements would be a lot more viable if Relic does as Cruzz suggests and change the way flame damage target tables work versus emplacements. Right now the Incendiary Barrage from the Wehr mortar half track is pretty broken against Brits. In: COH2 Balance

THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE STOP BITCHING ABOUT EVERYTHING They are talking about the crew/decrew bug that results in stacking the buff over and over again.
