Thread: British snare problem and potential fixes24 Jun 2018, 20:16 PM The lack of snare does make playing Brits hard. But: 1. AEC - can be teched super fast and counters all axis lights (except puma, where is is on equal footing) giving brits an early game advantage. They also have the bren which gives a decent early game advantage. Kubel can't compare :'( 2. Best AT gun in the game. 3. Cheap tech so usually get tanks out first to further cement aforementioned early game advantage. 4. Strong inf that beat all Axis t0 t1 infantry. I get that a snare might be preferable to these advantages. Especially every time I play sovs and get chased off field by idiots with clown cars for 4-5 minutes. But I'm told "get atg lol". So Brit players get atg eh. Plus it's not like PIV can crush like a Cromwell In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So why exactly can't UKF/USF base buildings be destroyed ?3 Jun 2018, 20:26 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jun 2018, 22:08 PMferwiner As far as I know ukf is the easiest faction to kill with base rape. This is becouse they have harder time getting AT and snares. A 222 rush can kill your base before you even get started. Usf suffers from that as well but they at least have a snare to defend. Other 3 factions are really hard to kill with base rape. With sov and ost you simply build the cheapest building in the corner. Even a ghost is enough not to lose. And you can have multiple. So it is much easier to survive. Okw is also in a good spot here. They can't build multiple buildings of the same type but they can hide them all around the map making the process of finishing the base much longer. Honestly, the fact that you can technically rebuild your base for free doesn't really matter when you consider that you will see a game over screen before being able to do that. Off topic: 222 came and destroyed your Brit base???????? Replay or stfu and gtfo. That's absolute BS. A) Small arms will damage it before it eve scratches the base buildings B) Ot would take 1forever to destroy even one building. And while he's doing that you can super-fast tech your AEC amd insta-counter it. Stop talking utter nonsense. To OP, yes it does seem unfair that base buildings for us and ukf are very durable and free to repair. Plus US officers can be rebuilt for 0 fuel (iirc?) with their bonus weapons. Katitof says "okw can choose base layout" WOW OMG BEST PERK EVAHHH MUCH OP!!! Pfff. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Former Relic studio head joins Sega & CoH32 Mar 2018, 15:38 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2018, 00:16 AMSturmtigerCobra +1 And please, no "Company of Victims" (PC/victimhood culture) rewriting history. Just no. Band of Brothers, still the highest rated TV show on; http://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv/ As long Relic continue to follow this immersive storytelling/narrative from BoB/CoH1 (soldier perspective) they will do fine with low risk of failing. But don't let the mask of "civility" from PC culture fool you and their false hope of more "inclusive WW2 games". They don't care about "intellectual diversity" while masquerading as defenders of "diversity". In reality, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. One of my biggest CoH3 concern is Relic pandering to third-wave feminism/PC culture which will instantly alienate many WW2 fans; Time for some equality of death, no? "Forced diversity" in historical Wargames and entertainment is just stupid and will alienate a lot of fans for sure. *Dunkirk, the event or the film, is nothing like "feminists" claim* http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/dunkirk-the-event-or-the-film-is-nothing-like-feminists-claim/article/2630531 Video below about PC culture messing with the 40K community after they messed up the "Magic of the Gathering" community; https://www.facebook.com/Feminist40K/ Especially on campus, this PC culture of easily offended people has been spreading like wildfire over the past 5 years. Again, even the Swedish YouTuber Pewdiepie (nr.4 most SUBSCRIBED, with 60M) has been making fun of this culture on his channel; The reality of life is not for the soft-skinned and the faint-hearted people. The right to free speech means nothing without the right to offend. So please "New Relic", don't make the fatal mistake and think this tolerance propaganda is going to sell a lot of games. PC "Disclaimer" I'm not against diversity within entertainment where it actually makes sense. It's all about context. A good example is the new Star Trek Discovery TV series. Diversity within that universe makes sense and the characterization/story is believable. Diversity in Star Wars Rogue One was alright too. Well, that was quite the rant on third-wave feminism right there. You got triggered but that's ok. No judgement here on coh2.org I don't know what you were replying to. Me and Tobis were talking about portraying the heroic aspects of conflict and that that makes for a more enjoyable game. And while the darker truths will certainly add depth - ONLY portraying dark truths is not exciting or entertaining or truthful. Noone is talking about safe spaces or feelings or any of the things you mentioned. Disney is not going to ruin coh for you and noone is going to make you dye your hair blue and denounce your white male privilege))) Just this "coh2 story mode sucked because it focused way too heavily on sovoet brutality and not at all on soviet heroism" In: Lobby
Thread: Former Relic studio head joins Sega & CoH31 Mar 2018, 19:23 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2018, 19:15 PMMittens Maybe I'm weird and want a controversial game that show the questions of morality and brutality of both during the war. after all, that's normally what happened during the time period. Honestly I felt like CoH2 has been pretty white washed of the harsh cruelty of the war when you compare it to coh 1. Definitely more sterile as far as deaths, bodies, and dead body gibs. It could be a culture thing or a SEGA/Relic thing but I felt like CoH2 didn't rly push any boundaries where it should have and made some interesting story elements that rly hit you in the gut. We have an M rated game but we don't really use it Mate, that's fine, nothing weird about it. My point wasn't "brutality in games is bad" It was "Relic glorified the US forces in CoH1 and demonized the Soviet forces in CoH2" Also, if they did go M-rated and give us WW2-meets-Saw, ok but if we are asking for truth, we might want to ask for thefull truth. The Soviets saved the world, for all theor brutality. It wasn't feckin Montgomery and Sean Connery In: Lobby
Thread: Former Relic studio head joins Sega & CoH31 Mar 2018, 15:00 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2018, 12:32 PMKatitof And neither are you familiar with actual WW2 history on soviet side. All of the stuff happening in CoH2 did happen, simply not all the damn time. We all know that soviets were not the good guys either. And if you actually played the campaign, you would notice that officers were surprised there are still People in houses as all were meant to be evacuated by that time. Do not twist facts like all these russians who have glorified and poetic version of ww2 red army beaten into their heads. Relic did the homework on the issue, others being in denial about the actual events that DID took place changes nothing. You're right that there is a false romanticized version of the Great Patriotic War (just as US and UK boys are taught the romanticized version of ww2 history without the whole carpet-bombing of civilians stories) but the problem with CoH2 storymode is it focuses entirely on the horrific moments. Compare to the equally highly romanticized western view of WW2 and CoH1 storyline, where there are actual heroes and the US characters are all "good" and heroic. So if Relic wanted to portray a more realistic story (which they didn't - they just wanted to relive their experience of watching enemy at the gates), they should have included a balanced version where the soviet troops were portrayed as heroic for defending their motherland against unspeakable horrors. Unlike the US, who were actually an invading army technically. Only portraying soviet brutality without soviet heroism is hardly portraying the truth accurately. In: Lobby

Thread: AT infantry for OKW?7 Feb 2018, 17:06 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2018, 16:06 PMMarkedRaptor Here's the thing, if your opponent is massing say, riflemen with 2 bazooka's, they are lacking pretty heavily in the anti-infantry department. Which means you wouldn't really want to build medium tanks (Unless you kite of course). This was the problem with volks and shreks back in the day, but there's a primary difference. Axis can get heavier tanks then just mediums. So whereas panzershrek blobs literally nullified allied vehicles, as axis it's more of a "Wait till I get a tank with higher armor out" or kiting with your tank with infantry in the front. Additionally MG's actually work against blobs now (for the most part). That zooka blob won't do jack against a brumbar. Penals are a bit different, being 6 man means they have 4 anti infantry and 2 AT. The extra man causes it to be more ridiculous in mass quantities. Additionally PTRS can still hit infantry unlike most AT. So you're just going to ignore the fact that a piv can be countered by REs with zooks Old argument: AT on okw inf is bad! Hypocritical argument: it is ok on all allied mainline inf. That's disgusting hypocrisy. Get a Brummbaer? Get heavier armour? FFS... ok, got Bruemm, oh look, 2x t34s, sherman (which was on field while i waited) and soon jackson, ooh, cromwell too. Do you even play this game?? Get a Bruemmbar ffs. . . Axis can barely make use of their meds to stop allied blobs due to allied inf AT. MGs get flanked, volks and grens lose to rifles and tommies and penals. Allied lights 》 axis lights. It's an uphill atruggle to get to a med and whwn you do, you get pushed away by ptrs and zooks. As well as the allied meds which come quicker due to better map control due to blob which can magically become AT blob when it has to. Look at the FCKNG reality In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AT infantry for OKW?7 Feb 2018, 00:19 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2018, 18:51 PMMarkedRaptor Once long ago, volksgrenadiers could be upgraded to a single panzershrek. The pure amount of cancer that caused ruined team games. You can tell they wanted to avoid that when they moved them to sturmpio's. Though this was back in the day when flame grenades were instant, and you could toss them super far while suppressed. It might not really be all that bad anymore now that suppression counters those blobs better. Still it nullified vehicle play in team games from allies. But zooka, piat, ptrs mainline inf is not cancer that totally nullifies lights and counters meds pretty well? In: COH2 Balance
