Thread: 2v2 Map Balance gone haywire31 Mar 2022, 01:37 AM Looks like about 2/3 of the normal games were played this month? Maybe it was the 3v3 Inka tourney that sucked up the extra games. Since players were practicing for 3v3? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2v2 Map Balance gone haywire30 Mar 2022, 22:43 PM With all of this talk about Pathfinders being meta and an EZ button for winning, I wonder if too many noobs are trying to use this strat and failing In: COH2 Balance

Yes it is. I am broken, beat, and scarred from it. Just a hollow husk of my former self. But I guess if you are going to find something to slowly kill you, it beats smoking. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: axies rekt in 4v425 Mar 2022, 13:25 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2022, 11:05 AMAlphrum No the real issue is the the fact there is a Strat being abused by USF. All these things about lower skilled games can be resolved by the players themselves as they learn and get better. My point was you can look at balance as being good because axis balance crosses from good to bad over the range of ranks being played. But I agree Paths + M8s seem to be the most imbalanced thing currently. Of course once you change them, some other strat will become OP ad nauseum... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: axies rekt in 4v425 Mar 2022, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2022, 07:02 AMInfi.ESA 2-3 soviets in 4v4 is maybe 1 of 20. Nearly every game is 2 US 1 brit 1 sov. For which level are you talking about? I am assuming higher ranks from our discussion so far. EDIT: An example for overall setups is: Red Ball OOWW -> SSSB = 201 games OOWW -> BSUU = 351 games OOWW -> SSSU = 188 games OOWW -> SSSS = 77 games In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: axies rekt in 4v424 Mar 2022, 23:16 PM Axis are OP in 4v4 currently according to Coh2Stats.com. As I have said in another post Soviets are weak in 4v4 because they are so slow to get to the front line. This is compounded by more people only owning Soviets. So the lower down the ELO ladder the more soviet mates you have on your team. Recently I had another revelation for allies in team games. Every game I play at low-mid ranks the allied players do well until their first tank comes out. The rest of the match their infantry sits idle. Many lower skill players can only micro one thing at a time. Since axis tanks are much stronger than allied tanks, these same skill level players perform better than their allied opponents. Once they smash the allied tank they have free reign to smash the rest of that players army that is sitting idle. Add to this the comment by Aerafield that allied teching is not as straight forward/easy for noobs. The real issue is at higher ELOs. You start to see less 3 and 4 soviets in a match. And a mix of allies can be very strong and hard to deal with at higher ELOs. So the current state of balance is good for low rank axis players but slightly bad for high rank axis players.

Thread: What really grinds your gears in CoH2?23 Mar 2022, 23:17 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2022, 22:41 PMApplejack Bad pathing on tanks and bounces on kill shots make me angry sometimes. Hurr durr superior German armour bounced a kill shot from my vet 2 jackson. Yeah coh2s version of "Random". My tank always misses the first shot. And misses badly. Like shoots the ground 20 meters short of the enemy. Or the shot passes right thru the enemy vehicle leaving a smoke trail thru the hull. But the enemy always gets full pen and does max damage on first shot. And the one I have been seeing a lot lately, my AT gun shoots and smoke exits the barrel... but no slug comes out. Nothing...Again, always the first shot. Enemy AT guns full pen from outside FOW every shot. Never fails. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Coh2 on Linux23 Mar 2022, 14:08 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2022, 13:13 PMBasedSecretary Basically, the only "fault" of Linux is that it's not normie friendly. And I am not even shilling it, it's free. That was the point of my question. It is not user friendly. I looked at it many years ago and it ran like crap and crashed all the time. Which is the opposite of why you run Linux. You run it for stability Then I looked around several years later and it seemed dead. To me the problem is since no company "OWNS" Linux, it will always be a flavor of the month. There are hundreds of versions, interfaces, etc and the versions get traction for a year or two then disappear. I don't see it ever gaining a meaningful user base because of this. So the thing that makes it cool (no one owns it and it is free), is also the reason why no one runs it. My question still stands, how many people run Linux? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Please make bigger maps for coh323 Mar 2022, 12:07 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2022, 07:40 AMInfi.ESA The points u mention are the design problem from coh2 and could be easily solved: - give every faction forward hq's to retreat like a field camp In case you have not read the other posts on this site about how the balance team is making all of the factions play the same. That is currently a major part of playing OKW and USF for example. It is what makes them different from Ost/Sov. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Coh2 on Linux23 Mar 2022, 12:03 PM Serious question: Is Linux still a thing? Beyond a server, does anyone use Linux anymore. It seems to have died about 10 years ago. There are a million flavors and none of them are very good. Complicated to get running, too many versions, and you can find almost no help from what I remember. In: COH2 Gameplay
