Thread: Mortars/Howies: Nerf autoattack, maybe buff barrage28 Feb 2016, 16:58 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2016, 21:24 PMGrim sorry just have to point out that the analogy is perfectly fitting. Perhaps you don't understand it? Well then i'll point out to you, no, it isn't. I stated my reasons, telling me "you're wrong" doesn't really make a very convincing case. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Useless unit list which need to be changed28 Feb 2016, 03:21 AM Helm's deep commander isn't that hot. Please stop trying to blow it out of proportion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortars/Howies: Nerf autoattack, maybe buff barrage24 Feb 2016, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2016, 19:17 PMMr.Smith Please heed the following advice and reconsider your position. The whole argument of: - People blob - Therefore mines/PeeWerfers/CalliOP/Mortars should continue to instawipe squads - Thus, people will stop blobbing (so that they don't get all their squads wiped) Is flawed, and similar to the following argument: The reason is that there are unintended consequences elsewhere in the game: - Having access to easy squad wipes encourages buying said units - Mortars currently require no micro - This promotes lazy playing for the mortar-guy - Provides a frustrating experience to the victim-guy - This is despite the fact that the mortar-guy does not deserve that reward Wrong analogy mate. There are plenty of counters to mortar, they aren't infallible and the more fluid the game becomes, the less effective they are. And the whole "provides frustrating experience to victim-guy", tough luck, every single experience doesn't have to be pleasurable. Getting smashed by colonel 100 shitbuckets isn't fun either, but that is how it is, just get over it. We aren't talking of broken game mechanics, but essentially trying to fix something that is not broken. Mortars have plenty of counters and they are hardly the only AoE unit that does those lucky insta wipes, that is an issue with RnG and unit clustering, not the unit specifically. The other day a AEC insta wipped a squad of jeagers because they decided to cluster all together. Despite how OP AEC are this is the fault of poor game coding not AoE weapon. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Useless unit list which need to be changed24 Feb 2016, 19:17 PM Don't understand all the intense dislike of the flame hetzer, sure it's no croc or KV-8, but it is way cheaper and harder to hit. It is on level with the UC WASP, it actually requires some thinking and micro. Rather then A move + stufing your face with cheetos at the same time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mortars/Howies: Nerf autoattack, maybe buff barrage24 Feb 2016, 19:06 PM What? And give blobblers yet another handout? no thanks. Your proposition would just incentivize yet more blob spam tactics and yet again put the micro tax on those that are already micro taxed because of the diversity of their units. Nope, nope and nopety-nope. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Points about pay to win some seem to overlook23 Feb 2016, 02:15 AM To the people that constantly whinge about DLC commanders: There might be unbalanced commanders that need patching, but that doesn't make them pay to win...just broken. Given the track record of Relic of addressing those issues, i don't see how you could construe such a ridiculous argument. P2W is literally buying power not side grades and flavours. If you were led to buy this game with the idea that everything would be accessible to you (because you essentially feel entitled to it), then you have only your self to blame and no one else.

Thread: Goliath's use? 20 Feb 2016, 17:08 PM It is so fun to use goliath. Specially in urban maps against blobs. I'll echo the already stated. Park them behind line of sight blockers and around corners, wait for the enemy to approach, ideally come at them from behind so that if he panic retreats his squad, it will come under the Goliath's path. Also great against entrenched HMG in buildings, divert HMG's attention with a faint trust and then send in Goliath for the kill. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: New commander ability - Counter barage20 Feb 2016, 01:37 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2016, 17:23 PMHans G. Schultz It's the same thing as the Ostheer's Lefh & mortor with counter barrage. No complaints about those. ^This. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander: Terror Doctrine20 Feb 2016, 00:45 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2016, 05:37 AMBeefSurge Trying to be realistic here, you have a higher chance of an Obersoldaten call-in because OKW and Ost can share commander units. (Ostwind, bunkers, Pak43, nondoc P4 and Panther) I agree. Ober instead of KCH, axis have already excessive amounts of elite/unique infantry. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Mortar range is too damn high19 Feb 2016, 18:52 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2016, 17:40 PMPurlictor What are we talking about here? When does ostheer and OKW ever have the time and resources to get 2 mortarHTs or 2 LeiGs out? Armored assault? This isn't the late game. Axis will at best be able to afford a luchs, if that. And if they get a luchs, they have no Leig or puma for the AEC. When? All the time. I don't understand your doubt. As Ostheer i always get mortars, irrespective of opponent, to counter AEC a well position pak + grens or Pgrens with shreks are enough. Mortars are just such a great unit to have. OKW you teching for LeiG is also a safe thing, you combined that with your panzer shrek volks, can shield your Leig from aggressive AEC counter. AEC is a whole other problem and has nothing to do with the efficacy of emplacements, you are conflating issues here. But worry not 25th February will end the AEC abuse. In: COH2 Balance
