Thread: allied artillery 11 Feb 2019, 16:09 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2019, 15:58 PMdistrofio The same player that spent that much resources into LeFH get wiped and it cant recover with tanks fast enough to stop the priest/sexton spammer. So i disagree. Offensive tactics have an upper hand here, and lots of versatility are belong to allied factions, therefore once axis factions start to get countered, its already gg for them. if your enemy has already spammed priests/sextons then its too late to try and counter with your own artillery. The Lefh can win but it should obviously lose against multiple opponents. No, if your enemy has ploughed all their fuel into mobile artillery then you need to push/dive with a tank. Wait for the enemy to make a push of their own and leave their arty spamming friend behind then flank and take them out. I know it often won't work that way and many things can go wrong but that's the general gist of it and is the fastest way to effectively remove a player from the game. In truth its easier to beat people spamming mobile arty that static as you don't have to attack ground on the unit after decrewing it. This also applies to katyushas/pzwerfers and stukas.

Only USSR have access to non-doc rocket artillery. A important point to note. Also the Lefh Vet 1 ability is very effective against enemy arty (even mobile ones due to their long barrage) so utilise it where you can. It requires 0 micro beyond getting the unit to vet 1. Priests/Sextons will only be useful vs an enemy that is being overly defensive. In large team games an ally spamming priests/sextons will often build no tanks and become more of a hindrance than a help. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think the comet tank is due for a buff.8 Feb 2019, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2019, 19:51 PMdistrofio Comet tanks are bad, until you get 2, then when you land 3 of them in the battlefield the game its over for your enemies and anyone in the server... It reminds me of apocalypse tank of RA2. Simple mass them and stop the crap out of them... Thats why its awful, because it CAN be spammed. It SHOULDNT be spammed, but thats not how this works, thats not how any of this works... with regards 1v1 everyone agrees churchill does fit the bill, so i dont see the reason of OP complaints... But then why would I not just get 2 churchills and a firefly? It would be a much better investment for the fuel cost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nice Balance Patxh RELIC!8 Feb 2019, 18:52 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2019, 15:16 PMLago If memory serves, Relic has to pay Valve every time they patch. It's why games on Steam have big patches far apart and games with their own launchers have much faster patch cycles. Ah, thats a bugger. Thanks for the info. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Balance and Bugfix Patch – Feb 7th 2109 - discuss8 Feb 2019, 15:26 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2019, 11:47 AMWiderstreit What would you say about a pop-cap timer for US? e.g. if you leave a vehicle, the vehicle still counts as pop-cap until: a. 5 mins (while that time alliis can't take the vehicle) b. enemy gets it. c. it gets destroyed. So US still can use the crew-funktion. But puishing your pop-cap limit or giving stuff too alliis will be very difficult. I think you are over estimating the usefulness of the USF pop cap issue. If your enemy is fielding tanks over their popcap chances are they will have no infantry/struggle to reinforce. Its also a pig to micromanage a mass of fairly fragile armour, especially given the tendency of pathing to freak out when moving more than one tank in a straight line through an empty field. I'd be happy for it to be replaced with a passive repair function instead (removing crews) as I've never found a use/had enough fuel to really exploit the pop cap issue. In: Lobby
Thread: Nice Balance Patxh RELIC!8 Feb 2019, 15:15 PM Its worth pointing out that if Relic are going to be more subtle in their balance changes they could probably afford to release them more frequently to aid in 'fine-tuning'. The JLI change for example took a long time considering what has actually been done to the unit. I would have expected this a few weeks ago so that we could have it as close to 'balanced' as possible by now. Edit: and to the person above complaining about Sextons. Ha ha ha. No. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Balance and Bugfix Patch – Feb 7th 2109 - discuss7 Feb 2019, 23:28 PM Is the valentine potent enough to be limited to just one? Honest question as I've never really liked it so haven't used it much even since it was buffed. The JLI nerf seems a bit on the soft side but I guess we'll see how it plays out. Otherwise it all looks good so far. In: Lobby

Almost everyone agrees on that. I'm confused as to the point you are trying to make. In: COH2 Balance
