Thread: New player advice.28 Aug 2018, 17:09 PM 1. The commander choice is tied heavily to game mode. 1v1 commanders are different than 4v4. 1v1 commanders give early game advantage or have vehicle call ins so you do not have to tech. Who ever gets vehicles out first will do well. 4v4 commanders require recon and artillery to counter the artillery your enemy will be erasing your army with late game. 2: Many pros suggest running bulletins for units that you start with in the game. Units you will be making and using the entire game. Usually mainline infantry. When I see players running all late game tank bulletins I tend to think they are noobs (without using CELO). Running bulletins for late game units that may never be built = not running any bulletins at all. One exception is SOVIET. Running certain bulletins will tell the enemy which tier you are going to build 1st. So running all penal bulletins says you will not be making Maxims, ZiS, Mortars, etc. So the bulletins give away your strategy. 3: I am the opposite of most people on this site and say 4v4 is the best place to learn. 1v1 the game is over if you make one mistake. 1v1 will make you the better player. So move from 4v4 to 1v1 as your skill increases. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Soviet Team Games28 Aug 2018, 12:28 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Aug 2018, 10:49 AMblvckdream Excuse me but you cry that you lose all games as Allies in 4v4 yet you are here claiming Allies are easy mode? Not sure how this makes any sense. I said during NA times, all allied players are children and will drop after the 1st or 2nd engagement. Assuming they do not crash on load. Which is about 30% of the time. Therefore most NA time allied players lack late game skills. So if you get a game where they stay in the game they will lose it badly after 20-30 minutes in. I have had 100s of games that loses players in the first 10 minutes. And 100s more that we have over 400 VPs but lose anyway to axis that have well under 100 VPs. These are just statistics. Not my personal opinion. C'mon Bvckdream I thought you were better than this In: COH2 Balance

The game is over by then. And where will you get all this fuel income when you are in your base? You cannot make fuel caches? Can you? In: COH2 Balance

Volks slightly better than cons. Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2018, 19:24 PMTactical Imouto Not to forget Maxim doesnt suppress anymore and neither does vickers. I disagree. They do suppress. Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2018, 19:24 PMTactical Imouto And Volks still have the oh-so-balanced napalm nade that dispatches any MG from the field. You mean the "oh excuse me sir would you mind moving your MG away from this spot. TY" grenade. Most people let the MG sit there in flames until a model drops then just move it 3 meters and it is safe again to keep suppressing. Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2018, 19:24 PMTactical Imouto Puma > AEC Yes, but making a puma usually means you lose in team games. Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2018, 19:24 PMTactical Imouto Wasnt a topic made about brits anyway but soviets I was saying the OKW is a joke in team games. And I did not want to get to far in but: - Brit AT gun never misses, rapes your puma. - Centaur rapes your Inf before they can faust. - Centaur erases your Raketen which misses 2/3 of its shots, if it even gets one off. - Brit has best MG in game. Its called a bofor. Dirt cheap and damages tanks. On a narrow 4v4 map one soviet player can erase 2-3 OKW players no problem. 2-maxims, 2-mortars, 2-Zis. A-move across map. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Team Games27 Aug 2018, 19:10 PM I think you meant to say OKW sucks ass in teams games. If enemy makes MGs, you lose. If they make snipers, you lose. OKW vs BRIT = instant loss if the brit player is sentient enough to form sentences by squirting air thru their meat holes. They have INF as good as yours. MGs to stop you. Universal Carrier to bleed you. AEC to smash your light vehicles. GG In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fields of Winnekendonk26 Aug 2018, 01:36 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2018, 07:56 AMSturmpanther Any update yet? THE STRUGGLE This map does a good job of balancing buildings without physically mirroring them. The building layout seems to possibly favor the south as far as distance to important buildings. But the north building group seems stronger and would favor the north a little. So there is a lot of subtle balancing going on. Mostly done with sight blockers to the key points around the buildings. Which is my next point: there are enough sight blockers around that the buildings are not strong enough to want to camp in them. They are too easy to flank and do not cover enough terrain to be worth camping in. In 2v2s, the strong cutoffs force most of the game play around the center of the map. It will be very interesting to see how flanks work when more players are on the map. POSSIBLE SMALL CHANGES: 1. As a player, when I see long hedgerows like these I am not sure if there is barbwire fencing inside of the hedges. So it is not obvious that I can walk thru these lines. Could leave little gaps here and there as visual cues to players that they can cross these hedges. The barb wire exists in other places on the map and is usually easily visible (good job). 2. The mirrored buildings on the edges of the maps are not balanced. I would remove this hedge sight blocker. In 2v2 these buildings probably do not see much play. But in 3v3 they may become important MG strongholds to guard artillery pieces. 3. I think the minimap shows a building here (YELLOW BOX). As I keep saying, I cant wait to play this in 3v3 In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: COH 2 Art Director Geoff Coates back to work to relic23 Aug 2018, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2018, 20:18 PMTiger Baron ... craters are less than 6 feet deep. The map in CoH literally looked like the side of the moon after 3 hours. I do miss the devastation of COH1. But I also do not miss being in a 3 hour AI game only to have it ended because the terrain became impassable. And watching vehicles drive down into giant holes then shoot into the air on the other side looked dumb. So I agree with the minimized terrain deformation of COH2. Could maybe make it a little deeper? Oh and I like COH2 graphics better. In: Lobby

Thread: Fields of Winnekendonk21 Aug 2018, 04:33 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2018, 01:48 AMTric I use those sticks in question all the time, they should not give red cover, it is most likely the road spline bleeding over into the placement of the object not actually being where it shows. I could also be the fact that there is no cover anywhere near it and it will show as negative cover when you have no cover in the vicinity. BRANCH_PILE_03 I am noob, and found them when I fixed up Redball Express. I moved the south shed and truck around and these sticks were left over. Go near them and your units show RED cover. Bizarre. I spent 20 minutes chasing down some texture that would cause it. Nothing worked. Removed the sticks. Red cover gone. Then my skull exploded into a glorious pink mist fountain. And children came to dance and play in the shower, for it was hot in the summer of 2018. - Mr Throbe I think people tend to stack them on or near other cover objects and the other cover overrides theirs. Just did a quick test to be sure. Another mess of grey matter on my keyboard. The bundles on the right fuel are less of a problem because it is surrounded by stumps. As you walk thru, the model cover toggles Yellow, Red, Yellow.. In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: Fields of Winnekendonk20 Aug 2018, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2018, 19:23 PMMonolithicBacon Here's the .sga of the updated version if you want to test it. Since everyone is very busy I thought I may help out (partly because I cant wait to play this as a 3v3). Sorry for the very late ideas. THOUGHTS: A. Also this map will be CLOSE THE POCKET heaven with the heavy cutoffs. B. Should the VP territory go behind sight blockers for USF lockdown? 1. The base MG coverage could be better. There are blind spots in a few locations. 2. The green cover in the north does not match the south. North truck is in MG range. South it is not. In is probably better? 3. The large north base grove should be removed. Maybe make a hedgerow/small tree hand made grove? This would also give more room for the base area and possibly more MG bunkers. 4. There are small bundle stick piles that for some unknown reason Relic chose to give RED cover. Please delete any you find. Middle west road area and right fuel area have some. 5. Since some one-click win items can sometimes attack into the base area can we make the base areas much larger. Please with sprinkles In: Summer patch 2018
