Thread: Panther spammer10 Jun 2013, 18:41 PM Maybe we should examine the whole topic from another angle. As Inverse stated Panthers are a rare occurrence in 1v1 games, as for 2v2s I've seen quite a few of them used by myself or my opponents. One of the reasons why there are more tanks in team games is the abundance of fuel. It is the result of the pool of available manpower to build Observation Points (henceforth referred to as OPs) and the number of available strategic points. There are two possible ways to address this. 1) Limit the amount of OPs that can be built by the team to a specific quantity, for example 2. I'd assume that this is rather easy to implement. (One could also remove the fuel income from not OPed strategic points) 2) Reduce the number of strategic points on the map, which would have the same effect as 1). As for the possible repercussions of this, it is probable that there will be a greater reliance on infantry and their counters. Whether this is a change for better or worse will be in the eye of the beholder. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Panther spammer3 Jun 2013, 15:04 PM @Sonthaya: Unless the non-disclosure agreement was changed, you should delete the pictures right away or risk having your access to the beta revoked. Last I checked only written content could be shared without explicit agreement from Relic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH 2 Server Stress Test3 Jun 2013, 14:19 PM @Noun: Thanks for letting us know. There might be a bug with the new server stress test however. My colleague, out of pure curiosity just started up the closed beta because he saw me playing it and got into the game without taking part in the "server stress test" beta branch. In: Lobby
Thread: Bulletins unlock conditions3 Jun 2013, 14:04 PM As of the new server stress test version all special units are call-ins (thanks for that change ) but the conditions under which bulletins are unlocked were apparently not adjusted accordingly. One instance of this are the shock troops' "to the frontlines" bulletin which requires them to be built 50 times and 300 infantry kills. The description and the condition need to be changed to reflect that it is now called in otherwise unlocking the bulletin will not be possible. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Coh2 Ranking2 Jun 2013, 01:58 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jun 2013, 01:25 AMqduffy It'll be back at some point - we have a new server, so it'll take a little bit of time to get everything back and working the way we want. Thanks a lot for commenting on the matter and taking the feedback into account. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: First contact: Company of Heroes 2 Single Player Campaign16 May 2013, 12:53 PM Nicely written article. One minor suggestion would be to change the word "platoon" to squad or fireteams, because technically even squads are bigger than 6 soldiers. Platoons are composed of of 4 sections or squads and consist of 26 to 60 soldiers. This criteria doesn't seem to be fulfilled in coh2. One question that came up when reading the article was: Did you get to have a look at the multiplayer as well? You mention the abilities of the engineers and how fundamental defensive structures can be in multiplayer, however there was no sign of any defensive structures for the Soviet side during the closed beta. Another minor comment regarding TrueSight is to add that it also depends on elevation (from within a higher building you should be able to see behind hedges). In: News

Thread: Getting away from Panzerfausts and AT nades27 Apr 2013, 13:47 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2013, 00:42 AMBasilone no, the goal should be for them to work properly "working properly" is highly subjective. Historically you are right that both would miss from time to time and were not operated over longer distances, but then again they were fired by infantry in hiding, something that true sight comes closer but still is nowhere near. From a balance standpoint there is no problem since both light at solution work the same way. As for one hitting more reliably than the other, I cannot really comment on that since I'm lacking proper data, but if it should be shown that there is a difference between the two, I'm all for adjusting it accordingly. Furthermore, considering the plethora of posts and threads that claim that the m3 scout car with flamethrowers or the flamethrower half-track pose sincere balance problems, I imagine the outcry to be even more severe if these light at weapons would work the way it is suggested here. Especially considering that the range of both the M3 with flamethrowers and the flamethrower half-track is insignificantly shorter than the panzerfaust or at grenade. In: COH2 Gameplay
