Thread: Ostheer vs the USF6 Jul 2014, 08:22 AM Just played an ostheer vs USF. Jacksons are a pain to deal with on this map, I think. Also carelessly lost a bunch of stuff (who knew ACs died to bar blobs so quickly) http://www.coh2.org/replay/19849/ace-up-my-sleeve Yeah, yeah, I cheated and used the Ace. I don't care Addendum- Probably played way too campy with my MGs in the opening. Grenadiers died really early on, panzergrens did nothing then died too. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Ace up my sleeve6 Jul 2014, 08:20 AM I haven't seen anyone use the Ace in quite a long time. Took it for a whirl this game when Jacksons started to give my P4s problems, and the airborne LMG blob killed my infantry (and some of my MGs). In: Replays
Thread: Barbed Wire Bug6 Jul 2014, 06:02 AM Yeah, uploaded a replay against the same guy doing the same thing: http://www.coh2.org/replay/19785/-ghost-reinforced-barbed-wire-unshootable Really should be fixed, especially before it catches on. In: Replays
Thread: Doctrinal 155mm barrage working as intended? 6 Jul 2014, 02:06 AM It always costs 180, regardless of shells dropped. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Doctrinal 155mm barrage working as intended? 6 Jul 2014, 00:43 AM It's an issue that was spotted in the alpha and brought up... pretty much in the same position as the aimed shot garrison clear. Even if it didn't destroy trucks in one go, which is ridiculous, it is still incredibly potent against vehicles as people have already pointed out. If the vehicle doesn't escape the first shot (which comes down fast by the way), it's guaranteed death. I'd guess that Katitof's Puma was stunned while moving, so it came to a halt outside the strike zone- else I don't see how it was possible that it survived. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are they ever gonna fix Soviet?5 Jul 2014, 13:48 PM Oops double post. Sorry. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Are they ever gonna fix Soviet?5 Jul 2014, 13:44 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2014, 13:32 PMBrachiaraidos The difference in speed for these tanks is utterly negligible. T-34/76 is 6.5, PzIV is 6.3. There's the same 0.2 difference is acceleration and deceleration. It's really not much at all, not nearly enough to make a difference when you consider the Rate of Fire the PaK has. The T-34/85 is actually slower than the panther (6.6) Most american tanks are also 6.5. Most tanks barring the tiny or massive ones all go about the same speed. Oddly enough, the max speed for a KV1 is 6.7. Good luck getting it to go that fast, mind. Pak is definitely superior to the Zis in AT, never said it wasn't. T3476 accelerates faster too, and more importantly costs about 20% less for exactly the same survivability against an AT gun as a P4. T3485 is the best medium (except maybe the E8) because of it's 800 health, among other very decent stats. Panther is in a different league cost wise and doesn't bear comparison (tank hunter, useless against AT guns anyway, and a general waste of resources in a 1v1). And the max speed of a KV1 is actually 5.1. It has 270 armor and 800HP though, so it bounces shots decently well and can survive the ones it doesn't deflect. In: COH2 Gameplay

Actually if the shot hits the ground where the vehicle used to be, that means the AT gun already rolled a miss. If the game calculated a hit, the shell would follow the target to the ends of the earth til it hit. In: COH2 Gameplay

USF ATG is the oddball, but that gets HEAT and 70 range at vet 1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New soviet commanders real?5 Jul 2014, 10:22 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2014, 10:00 AMKatitof Such a WIN doctrines. Why not wait til someone online actually has the doctrine before pronouncing it over/underpowered. To me the Anti-tank one seems underwhelming, and Not One Step Back is such a wild card I won't judge it for now. And, on topic, someone on steam posted a picture on the Steam community showing the anti-tank doctrine in his inventory- so the answer, at least for one, is yes. In: Lobby
