Thread: Anyone know any hard counters to King Tiger?3 Jul 2014, 08:15 AM Here's an example replay of soviets killing a King Tiger very quickly: http://www.coh2.org/replay/19641/heavy-armor-clash-is2s-jagdpanzer-kt It was very obvious that he was saving for the King, since he had no armor other than the Jagdpanzer for the rest of the game. Mine + double IS2 bumrush killed it in less than 30 seconds. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Heavy armor clash- IS2s, Jagdpanzer, KT3 Jul 2014, 08:11 AM Slippery as a fish, that Jagdpanzer was, leading my IS2s on a wild goose chase. The battle eventually came down to a very short fight between two IS2s and a King Tiger. Also demonstrates the power of shocks vs falls. In: Replays
Thread: Anyone know any hard counters to King Tiger?3 Jul 2014, 06:43 AM I'd guess lots of mines and an ISU or two- concrete rounds + mark target would put a lot of hurt on the KT. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: July 3rd Patch Notes3 Jul 2014, 05:56 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2014, 05:53 AM__deleted__ Wow. Alot of okw buffs. Interesting concept with that truck with AA. Now people will be tempted to place it outside base. GJ. Volley fire bug solvend and USF AA nerfed. Nice. But was that ppsh buff really needed?! PPSH is pretty terrible right now, so the answer, I think, is yes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: July 3rd Patch Notes3 Jul 2014, 05:33 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2014, 05:15 AMfranko OK ok i see you are expert with 35 games in 1vs1 Community in CoH is worst in all games, on forums there is only crying for nerfs (most from germany side) and crazy thing is that relic is lisening to them... i never saw a good replay to validate how one side is OP and other under-performing. With volley fire nerfed what is primary role of this shity unit now ? 35 games in 1v1? I see 219 games as soviets, 191 as wehrmacht. And the fact of the matter is, volley fire was overperforming to a very large degree. Therefore it was nerfed. Rear echelon can deny garrison, capture points, build tank traps and wire, equip rifle nades in fighting positions, AND still use the toned-down volley fire. What is the primary role of the RE in this patch? Direct combat unit capable of suppressing any squad, and pinning in two seconds up close. What will the role of the RE be next patch? As a support unit, as it should be. i never saw a good replay to validate how one side is OP and other under-performing. Go play against a decent player who uses volley fire to six minute AAHT as the Ostheer, preferably before the patch hits. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Penetration vs Range graph and statistics3 Jul 2014, 04:19 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2014, 15:33 PMNapalm Would you have the time to update all this good stuff in this thread? Would be really neat to see how the new armor stacks up. As requested, table has been updated. Now includes speed, AOE radius, and scatter distance. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Penetration vs Range graph and statistics2 Jul 2014, 15:51 PM Damn, completely forgot about this. Sure I'll update it, would be a good way to pass the time while the AI farms commanders for me In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Big Balance Thread.2 Jul 2014, 15:08 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2014, 14:33 PMNapalm Whenever you post it is usually gold. Are you able to expand on this a little? I'm not sure on the exact stats of the HM120mm before WFA, but I'm very confident it was highly inaccurate both when attack-grounding and barraging, much more so than the GR34 81mm and the PM82mm. Currently, though, it has a scatter angle/distance of 10/8 for default fire and 8/8 for barrage. This, coupled with a splash radius of 6, means it's very rare for the AOE not to damage a squad member with every shot (if I am interpreting the statistics correctly- correct me if I am wrong). Compare this to the Ostheer mortar, which has a scatter angle/distance of 10/8 and 9/7, and the normal soviet mortar at 8/8 and 8/6, both with a splash radius of 4. The difference in accuracy is actually now quite a lot less significant than I'm sure it used to be. Or you could ignore the stats, which are pretty pointless, and test it against the AI- firing at max range with vision it's quite easy to tell it's been changed and a heck of a lot more accurate.

Thread: Anti tank weapons killing infantry2 Jul 2014, 14:02 PM Not sure if it's an imagined effect, but the AOE changes awhile back seem to have increased AT gun and (especially) rocket weaponry effectiveness when shooting infantry. RE blob (3-4 squads) with double bazookas gib infantry surprisingly well. In: COH2 Balance

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed with its performance. In: COH2 Balance
