General Information


Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion19 Mar 2019, 15:31 PM Lets hope we get new information this week. OKW and Soviet commanders looked promising so far. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic about the New Commanders votes18 Mar 2019, 19:13 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2019, 18:50 PMOsinyagov I am not sure what Andy wanted to say. According to context, people were confused about big number of the unclear points in commanders concepts, and he tried to explain the situation. Am i right? I think he wants to explain why "only" the winning concepts will be released and not the runner-ups too. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion17 Mar 2019, 09:12 AM Guys, are these the current boni from "Combined Arms" or are these stats outdated? "Infantry: -20% Reload +30% Accuracy, +35% sight Vehicle: +35% sight, -30% Reload, +5 range" In: Lobby
Thread: Are soviets popular or too weak so nobody plays them? 17 Mar 2019, 08:47 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2019, 08:43 AMFarlon They were pretty much the best faction before USF rework. +1 Maybe people should have a look at soviet winning ratio in GCS2 and in the 2vs2 tournament. USF are pretty strong now but that doesnt mean that Soviets are weak. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion16 Mar 2019, 18:43 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2019, 18:26 PMJibberJabberJobber - There will probably be a Command Tiger in the new OKW commander, so IMO the Ostheer commander also getting one would be a bit much. If a Command Tiger does get added, assault grenadiers shouldn't be in the doctrine, which is also an option. Well,i think TigerAce is in dire need of a rework and it fits to the theme of the doctrine. And keep in mind that the Ace doesnt have to get the aura buff. It was just a suggestion. Thereby Wehrmacht and OKW commanders should be designed independently. HEAT rounds and "Extra Equipment" are abilities that could fit very well. But lets wait and see in which direction the mod team wants to go. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion16 Mar 2019, 18:07 PM I think "Radio" and "Tiger Ace" should stay in every case in the doctrine but as i said before i like the idea of Elite Armor Equipment. My suggestion would be to merge it with "Extra / Field Support Training" to the new ability "Extra training and equipment". That would free a slot for Assault Grens. I also like the idea of HEAT rounds, they would make Stugs a lot better against Churchills etc; could replace "Combined arms" then. BTW: What does the community think about "Combined arms"? Its rarely used in games, can someone explain why? In: Lobby
Thread: Is the Elite Troops Doctrine worth it?15 Mar 2019, 16:43 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2019, 16:32 PMPanzerKampf Is it worth it getting the Tiger Ace commander? I play 90% 1v1 Thanks Tiger Ace in its current state is bad, but the unit will get a rework soon. If you can get the doctrine on a sale i would say buy it. Stormtroopers, G43, Panzer Tactitian and Grenades are all useful. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion15 Mar 2019, 05:17 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2019, 23:50 PMblancat Man..... What is "air assault guard engineer"? It seems strange and flimsy Why "infiltration unit" need flamethrower? I dont know what is "soviet airborne", But that idea is not creative and just odd thing Para units always had special engineer companies. If you look back at the conquest of the belgium fort Eben Emael then you would see that this fortress was captured by german falschirmjägerpioniers. To think that Para are only fulfiling the role of an "infiltration unit" is a bit one dimensional. I just wanted to show that there are other options than to make a copy and paste soviet para unit. But its ok if you dont like it. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion14 Mar 2019, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2019, 21:08 PMAarotron With usf we really should look for things the ardennes assault has. Like the hunker down ability, cache supply points, man the defenses and (i have repeated this one too much like a parrot) rifle satchel charges. Maybe you could also look at axis abilities that fit to the theme of Urban Assault: 3CP - Infiltration Tactics come to mind, would give US access to grenades to clear houses without the need to tech for it. Sector Assault from OKW's Breakthrough could also be interesting (reworked of course) because of the mix of shells and smoke. About Soviet Airborne: An Air Assault Engineer unit is not used by other factions although these units were always part of the first wave. Could be an interesting alternative. Air Assault Guard Engineers could be the only airborne unit with access to flamethrower then. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion13 Mar 2019, 19:01 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2019, 18:54 PMLago As for the OKW P4, that could get visually confusing at Vet 2 when it becomes identical to its OST counterpart. What if it was an upgrade for the existing tanks? Elite Armour Upgrade Costs 45 FU, mutually exclusive with MG42 mount. Available for the Panzer IV, Panther and StuG. Adds the OKW Panzer Commander, granting the artillery call-in and bonus accuracy. Unlocks Vet 2 armour skirts immediately. Adds vehicle crew repair (same as OKW) to Vet 2 to replace the armour bonus. I agree about the Luchs and i really like your idea of Elite Armour Upgrade. You could merge it with Extra Training to "Extra training and equipment". That would free a commander slot for Assault grenadiers. The idea behind the OKW PZIV was to give Wehrmacht a medium that can fight T34/85. This objective would be fully fulfilled with your idea and other tanks would profit also. Edit: @Ethereal Dragon: About Tiger Ace I know that my suggested Tiger Ace is probably too strong (it is). I just wanted to lay the ground for a constructive discussion and if i look at your post i would say it paid off Really good suggestions, im really looking forward to the official feedback process. If guys like yourself, Lago, Stark and others will continue to give this kind of feedback Wehrmacht players will get a relly good commander. In: Lobby
