Thread: vCOH - Counter to Support Vet strat? MG spam?4 Sep 2013, 13:51 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2013, 13:36 PMAvNY The item I most miss is an effective Quad. 4x.50 cal out to rip light armor to pieces and present a really good Anti-inf unit. Instead it is a a glass water pistol that can't suppress. Is it any good against PE armor? It rips all PE light vehicles to shreds and is good at suppressing panzergrenadiers. That said, for US v. PE I almost always use Aimstrong's anti-PE strategy. Inverse made a good video explaining the strategy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSz5-ym_Qg4 If you want to talk US v. PE, however, you should probably start another thread so this one doesn't go crazily off-topic. In: COH Central
Thread: vCOH - Counter to Support Vet strat? MG spam?4 Sep 2013, 13:02 PM If you're still learning the mechanics of COH1, here are some quirks that apply here. More reasons to avoid paratroopers in this situation: -Pumas can shoot them out of the sky while they are reinforcing. -Puma "phase armor": You'll notice that sometimes shots will pass right through the model of the Puma without hitting. This is because Pumas don't have a hitbox. This means that if something fires at the Puma and rolls a "miss", the shot will miss no matter what. Other vehicles (StuGs, for example) have a hitbox so that even if a shot is rolled as a "miss" it can still hit, provided that the projectile is traveling in the right direction. Every weapon has a "scatter" value that determines how far the projectile will stray from the target in the case of a miss. Paratrooper RRs have very low scatter, which means they often will hit the target (the hitbox) even in the case of a miss. This does not apply to Pumas, unfortunately. -Flamethrowers are extra good against units with elite armor (eg Paratroopers), so that flamer pio death blob will be even more annoying. In: COH Central
Thread: Best albums of all time? 4 Sep 2013, 05:59 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2013, 23:40 PMyogeurts Flying Lotus - 1983 I like all of his later albums much more. Thankfully, it is possible for me to own more than one album. Same with Tom Waits: Rain Dogs, yo. Also, do you now Califone? You'd probably like them as well. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Artillery officer3 Sep 2013, 10:05 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2013, 10:59 AMQvazar ...if the officer entity is alive. Can the officer die? What happens in that case? Something to note, the squad doesn't have any heavy weapon slots (or at least not enough to pick up a panzershreck). In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Why would I build a Panther?3 Sep 2013, 09:54 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2013, 20:25 PMbothal08 the only only thing a t34 can do to a panther is ram I've had a panther deflect a ram. It definitely gave a temporary crit (crew shock, I think). It might have damaged the engine, I don't remember exactly, but it definitely didn't damage the gun. ...so there's a reason to go panthers. They have much more survivability against both conscript AT grenades and T3. Worth noting: if you don't build T3 a Panther costs (after building T2) 1000 manpower and 280 fuel, when you include the necessary teching and buildings. PIV costs (after building T2) 680 manpower and 175 fuel, when you count the cost of teching and building T3. Adding a second PIV raises the total cost to 1000 manpower, 290 fuel, which is almost the same as a single panther. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Tiger commander fans?3 Sep 2013, 09:49 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2013, 17:28 PMbothal08 i played a 1v1 auto earlier and managed to field dual tigers...i was busy building t3 building when a happened to see the enemy building t4 (for su-85 obviously) so i quickly stopped my engineers from building my t3 and just saved fuel for tiger instead...he went and built a su85 but it couldnt really do much as it had no tanks to fire at my pgrens with shreks kept them away fine...and with my tigers i ended up winning...i got a faust hit on su85 so it got engine damage and the tiger moved in for the kill strafe kept all his infantry at bay as he was also pumping out snipers Mwahahahaha!

Thread: End of World War II3 Sep 2013, 07:55 AM About two years ago I read a very good book about the last two years of WWII in the Pacific Theater, "Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944-1945" by Max Hastings (in England it is called "Nemesis" with the same subtitle). It's quite thorough, and covered a lot of areas that I knew absolutely nothing about: the Burmese campaign, the war between the Soviet Union and Japan after the defeat of Nazi Germany. A great read for anyone interested in the subject. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: need new GPU, CPU, mobo - need advice1 Sep 2013, 14:48 PM I'm in the same boat (including having to pay the ridiculous DKK prices - oh why didn't I buy something while I was back in the US on vacation?). Slightly OT: I've bought stuff on wupti.dk before and the prices were good. Where do you plan on getting your stuff, whatever it may be? In: Hardware and Tech

Thread: Novice to mid-level competition?1 Sep 2013, 10:05 AM Check out the ESL for COH2: http://www.esl.eu/eu/coh2 The reddit community has put on a few, "for the glory" tournaments as well: http://www.reddit.com/r/CompanyOfHeroes/ Also, you might want to play in one of the for-fun or lower stakes tournaments, even if you do expect to get your butt kicked. I am not a high-level player by any stretch of the imagination but I played in the gamekeys tournament. If I wasn't the bottom-seeded player, I was close to it. I still had a lot of fun, despite getting completely owned in the second round. If nothing else, playing in a tournament guarantees you a couple of clean games, and you get to say that you participated. In: Lobby
