Thread: Why Soviets are OP23 Sep 2020, 23:00 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2020, 21:45 PMthedarkarmadillo Shouldn't it be on the OP to set up a thread for such a discussion? The stats you referenced were drawn out by the community following a number of "nuh uhs" and "cause I say so" s from the OP. When the thread starts with nothing but a list of whine you end up with multiple pages of people talking about 15 units and talking points. A little structure goes a long way The structure OP chose I just don't like. For reasons I said above, I think people get lost in the "here's 15 OP things in this faction" and a lot of times the retort is "ok, well this faction gets these 15 things so....." I don't think there should be 15 different threads for each talking point, but I think the "grand scheme of things" threads aren't great either. Then comes the other issue of having cross thread details and multiple people engaging in select threads only and you have a nice spaghetti mess that not even the balance team could read if they wanted too. Yes it should be on OP to make the best and hopefully most productive thread possible, but it should also be on the people participating in the threads to not destroy the thread by page 2 with back and fourths. Yeah the forum isn't too good for skim reading and honestly takes some effort to jump into a thread 100+ posts in where 25 of those posts have 7 different quotes, each replying to a different question or point made etc. Mixed in with another 50 posts of back and fourths of "no ur wrong cause i'm good at game" and "no u". I think the major disconnect between forum goers here though is something people are not stating. Everyone is putting their experience into their posts as their main source but no one tells each other what that source is. Be it 1v1s or 4v4s. Be it rank 40 or rank 2000. I know there were a few people stating their 1v1 and 2v2 experience, think it was CreativeName but just remembering off my head atm. But other than that no one else really does it. I think that would help a lot with disconnects on back and fourths. T34/85s are one of the best mediums in 1s and 2s probably. In 4s though with mass AT walls, elephants, panther spam etc, they're still ok, but no where near where they are in 1s and 2s. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP23 Sep 2020, 21:27 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2020, 13:49 PMKatitof @Moderation Whatever happened to that rule that prohibited having a threat in balance section if OP doesn't use evidence or stats? I actually thought this was a necro thread because it had 100+ posts when I first saw it like an hour ago. I'm surprised it got over 100+ posts inside 24 hours. Forum had been rather quiet these last few weeks. While I think you have a valid point on the OP lacking evidence in the original post, I think after a few pages we did see some decent pieces of stats regarding the zis gun and 34/76 talk. I think one of the biggest issues of the forum and posts like these is everyone gets so lost talking about 15 different units and talking points trying to validate or invalidate OP. Threads are typically much more productive when they talk about a few things at a time. Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2020, 19:03 PMVonIvan Why ~~Soviets~~ Brits are OP Other than 6 man support weapons soviets are a generally rounded faction with strong late game that relies on superior numbers or tank destroyers/kv-2. I think von nailed soviets pretty good right here. I think there is some points to be made about their munition float and then their manpower starvation, but in a quick take this is it.

Thread: Current state of the Tiger18 Sep 2020, 02:44 AM It really doesn't feel all that great from either side, unless you count watching it turn into mist from allied TDs. I know there were triple nerfs to it in the previous patch and on paper the AoE nerfs didn't look that bad, but I think the fact that most tanks are more or less RNG machines with their main guns and just not enough AoE can basically mean if they scatter too much, they actually do laughable damage. Although the tiger is the best of heavies when it comes to reload, even that doesn't seem to be able to make it worth while. 5-6 seconds reloading is another round from a TD and more time in the back repairing. I think all heavies are facing similar issues like this currently. They can't be pushed away from a single squad pushing them with snares. They need to be able to fight off infantry pushes to some degree without having moments of zero DPS because of RNG. In: Ostheer Strategies
