Thread: AOE damage in flanked cover17 Nov 2020, 12:02 PM There are two type of cover direction and non direction. Sandbags are not direction so when a vehicles move behind the cover infantry no longer benefits from cover. To make thing even worse non accuracy projectiles have a chance of colliding with the cover and detonating reducing the "scatter" of the vehicles and thus they might do more damage. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Chaos Kreig17 Nov 2020, 11:59 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2020, 11:19 AMSander93 I highly doubt the majority of the playerbase solely plays for ranks. There's huge variety of strategies used in 3v3 and 4v4. There is no single meta like in 1v1 (tourneys). Most people play for fun or at least want some variety, even at high ranks. Most players at all skill/rank levels just seem to prefer easy grinding maps over more tactical maps, which does make these maps good if popularity is used as a measurement. My point remains that what makes a map good is subjective, based on a player's preference. And that with player preference varying wildly, popularity seems to be the only proper quantifiable measurement to define which maps are good and which ones aren't. I'm an aggressive and tactically creative player so I personally think Port of Hamburg is a terrible map because there are 0 ways to outflank or surprise your opponent, but it is one of the most popular maps because most players apparently like to mostly camp and throw arty at each other. I agree and would like to add that certain map favor certain faction or certain tactics so the concept of "best map" without context is flawed. In: Lobby

Thread: Chaos Kreig16 Nov 2020, 13:15 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2020, 12:35 PMEsxile USF mechanized fit better the ChaosKrieg rules than Ostruppen and that's not a question of jeep vs ostruppen but a mid-tier transition from them. You need the T4 and BrumB/Panther to fully support your Ostruppen transition while USF only need a pair of sherman. Thus USF able to close the game faster. That's not a question of balance here but variation in powerspike for factions/commanders designed around 500vp matchs. On a personal note, even if the idea felt more exiting at the beginning, it has been the most boring tournament to watch. No I can't say I agree. If ostrruppen "need" (which is debated) Brumbar/Panther it is because they they are not good after minute 5. The fact that they where used in 250 VP tournament is a strong indication that the commander does provide an early advantage. Actually what they seemed to "need" was 251/222 to support them.

Although the stat where not available I am pretty sure that osttruppen where used by ostheer in allot of game that is a "meta" commander. In addition osttruppen is an early commander since osttruppens lose value in late game and thus 250 ticker was actually an advantage for the commander. In: Lobby
Thread: Recovery sappers salvage15 Nov 2020, 23:48 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2020, 23:35 PMzerocoh Aren't the values a little too nerfed? I did some testing and you gain pretty much nothing from the salvages now, a heavy tank like ISU only gives like 10 fuel while most of other vehicles only give 3-5. I wonder why even bother making a special unit anymore, just give the smoke grenade to regular sappers and call it a day. Return depends on the health of the wreck. In: COH2 Balance
