It just wasn't nearly as bad because it wasn't so easy to lose sight on things. couldn't agree more In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Visibility22 Apr 2013, 15:36 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2013, 15:20 PMTychoCelchuuu Yeah, I'm not sure Relic really thought the whole "how is true sight going to work with our silly tank turret AI" think through. Men of War handles this by letting you manually control the direction of the tank turret. The easiest way I can think of solving this is to have a tank's "attack ground" command persist even through movement commands (it would only cancel when you give it another attack command or a stop command). The ideal solution would be to give tanks an "aim" command that would allow you to retarget the turret in a direction, but that would be hard to figure out because you'd have to get the tank to shoot at stuff in that direction but not far from that direction and then the question is "how far is too far" and so on. There may simply be no solution that Relic ends up implementing. Somehow the solution involves either putting in another hotkey for directly controlling your turret or tweaking true sight. Either way, it's complicating everything to have a workaround for something that just wasn't thought through properly. I kinda feel that there are all these tiny little things that just won't be fixed because of the effort needed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Visibility22 Apr 2013, 15:02 PM What I noticed after playing Beta for a while now is that the vehicle aiming mechanism do not correspond to the true sight system. Example: have a tank with a moveable turret chase another tank, while an enemy infantry unit is nearby. The enemy tank will disappear behind something that breaks the LoS, which prompts your tank to automatically turn your very slow moving turret at the other squad. If your tank is moving, there is no way to avoid this (attack ground while stationary would somehow do the trick to some degree). In essence, this makes it very easy to outmaneuver tanks, simply because of poorly implemented gameplay mechanics. There is just no workaround. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New balance changes18 Apr 2013, 11:03 AM I really have mixed feelings about the new approach to balance. While I definitely see the point in basically mirroring the stats on comparable vehicles on either side in achieving easy balance, I wonder where the specific feel of coh units will be. IS-2 has basically the same values as the tiger now, su-85 is a stug, but with slightly slower fire rate and so forth. Feel free to correct me if im wrong on the values. Has anyone else felt the same about that kind of balance approach? How is it dealt with in other rts? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: captured t34's 2 Tigers and an intense game17 Apr 2013, 12:24 PM Haha, thank you very much I really felt that this could have gone either way. Soviet at guns are really viable, well played! In: Replays
Thread: captured t34's 2 Tigers and an intense game17 Apr 2013, 12:16 PM First of all, I'd like to say that I come to like COH2 more and more. I was very skeptical at the beginning and it still needs tweaking, but I think it has real potential. What you'll see here: Soviet flanking maneuvers all the time. A lot of AT Nades from the Soviet player. T34 killing flame HT and ramming german armor like some horny bull. Eventually, the Ostheer takes some t34s in their service and reclaims the battlefield with the combined power of 2 Tigers and a Panther. And don't forget the Stuka, I just love the sound Enjoy!
