Thread: Eliminate Poltawa Gang31 Aug 2020, 17:17 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2020, 19:44 PMRosbone Use your words boys. Why is it bad? Just saying its bad is meaningless. How can it be changed/updated/improved if no one can say what needs changed? I agree on much that Sanders said. Additionally, I feel that the southern fuel is more contestable than the northern one and that the four buildings are not really ewual, although I might be wrong in this. Especially I USF, I got the feeling that you either win with superior Riflemen or get locked out with the buildings for long times. In general, the map is way too narrow. Flanking is next to impossible, casemates lose all their weaknesses and Elefant and Jagdtiger as well as ISU are too strong. The match is a complete arty slugfest due to the narrowness and predictable infantry paths and concentrations. Also, you will always reach the endgame since the corner VPs are hard to reach so it is always a 2v1 VP bleed out. Most of the fighting is done around the middle VP, although the middle does not offer much else beside that VP. The important resource points are fairly secure. Cut offs are almost impossible. And most of all: I have never ever had as much of this sudden-reverse glitches (where the vehicle bumps the air and bounces back) than in Poltawa. Many maps have this issue, but I might not even notice it in some matches. Poltawa however is on a whole other level, causing a lot of frustration with vehicle play. I like the infantry and ambush focus around many important points, but it just does not make up for the huge issues. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: State of OKW in the meta 30 Aug 2020, 12:21 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2020, 08:02 AMachpawel I think that there are simply too many stats that affect the outcome to actually be able to stat-check it. Received accuracy, aim time, accuracy, reloads, cooldowns to name just a few and there might be a dozen others. My personal experience is that models drop much more quickly on those 4 men squads and dps changes a lot then while at the same time larger squads often lose a lot of health before the first model drops so their dps goes down later in the firefight (yet another factor to include). Most of these factors should already be calculated into the DPS chart. If Penals win then this shows how unreliable the pure DPS values are for actual combat and that other factors are much more important. Or technically the DPS calculation could be wrong as well, I am not sure if anybody has truly fact checked those graphs. Also it is still unclear if those 0,125 second delays that exist for vehicles also apply to infantry which they likely do. The last man ability that was mentioned can also be an important factor, although at this point Penals already start losing their rifles and DPS while Obers retain their MGs. I honestly just assumed that the ~2x damage of the MG (depending on range obviously) will likely trump the RNG, but apparently this is not the case. Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2020, 10:30 AMVipper Penal PTRS has an accuracy of 0.15/0.105/0.06 now if you multiply it by 1.3x.1.3x1.25 it actually goes up to 0.32/0.22/0.13 without even taking into account "to the last man". Given that they do around 20 damage per shot their DPS is simply not negligible. Accuracy is not the only thing that matters. PTRS have an atrocious time between shots compared to small arms. At least their DPS is usually about 1/10 of the SVT DPS, so those two guys add about 1/5 of a model, at least normalized to infinite samples. The high damage makes them an RNG cannon vs infantry. But as I said above, those stats might actually not mean as much as we have thought. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of OKW in the meta 30 Aug 2020, 07:32 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2020, 07:12 AMmr.matrix300 I just testet it. It can actually happen. But only on close to mid range ( and only if Obers are Vet 0 and Penals Vet 3). I can't test right now, but if that is true it begs the question how accurate the coh2 stats page is (I mean the updated one). The two rifles are very similar regarding their profiles, the MG34 is a decent bit better even at closer ranges and Obers should have way superior DPS retention. Did you b any change notice model sniping vs Obersoldaten due to formation issues? In: COH2 Balance

LOCK ALL MY THREADS AND BAN ME FROM COH2 MULTIPLAYER BECUASE YOU ARE JUST AS TOXIC AS A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY! WHAT NEXT? ME THREATENING THE COMMUNITY AT GUNPOINT? Or, you know, just follow the site rules like 99% of this forum's members somehow manage to do. Funnily enough I did not have anything to do with the most recent locks/invises because you were necroing and defaming. Although this post is usually a clear invis, I'll leave it up for the rest of the community to make up their minds. As well as this thread https://www.coh2.org/topic/106408/cache-costs/page/1#post_id832884 That you just edited today to insult even further. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of OKW in the meta 30 Aug 2020, 07:01 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2020, 05:35 AMSp33dSnake Just out of curiosity, I'd like to hear why vetted AT penals can take on Vet 0 MG34 Obers. This happened to me about five minutes ago. Was red cover vs. red cover too. Obers are coming way too late to really do anything 1v1. Honestly, fallschims are a better investment, they come earlier, they get weapon unlock eariler, and they can be airdropped anywhere. Retest that, because either it was wrong perception and you did not see a supporting squad or just RNG. The normal KarJ of an Obersoldat is about equal to a vet3 Penal SVT. So with unupgraded Obers this could happen regularly, but the MG34 blows the DPS through the roof In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF what if26 Aug 2020, 08:26 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2020, 03:42 AMLoopDloop Yeah it does that a lot heh. Suffering from success. I was testing it a bit because someone asked for it in another thread, and the maxim actually seemed to pin squads a lot faster than the vickers. Didn't really pay attention to how long it took to suppress though. I don't know about the pinning time, that might be. But I also find the time to suppression (yellow) way more useful. If they are already suppressed they are not a huge threat anymore anyway, pinning is secondary. And in that regard the Vickers is not hugely worse even compared to the MG42 (Sanders once had hard numbers on that, can't remember/find them at the moment though). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF what if25 Aug 2020, 21:47 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2020, 18:16 PMLoopDloop Seems that the vickers is actually even worse at suppressing, it just mercs models instead though. I never had major issues with the Vickers suppressing squads. I think the only "issue" arises if the Vickers targets an almost dead model, kills it, and then needs to retarget which in total prolongs the suppression time. Apart from that the time to suppress is not bad afaik. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF what if25 Aug 2020, 10:24 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2020, 12:27 PMZeroZeroNi question then why don't OKW and Brit get t0 indirect arty???? Basically what other people said. I'd add though that Brits have the WASP if needed and get a quick T1 base arty as well. OKW on the other hand does only face early MGs when playing against Brits. SOV and USF need some time to tech if the even chose that tech path (also the Maxim is real shite at suppression, I've had it more than once that Volks crawl across open field to throw a incendiary into my building), so at least against those factions an early mortar is not a must have.

Thread: give the okw a sniper25 Aug 2020, 10:16 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2020, 06:15 AMSp33dSnake If OKW were to get a Sniper, I would do it in a different way. OKW - Battlegroup HQ Sniper - 380 Munitions 1 man unit. Rather than dropping units, its more of an HP vampire, with vetting it has suppression capability similar to RE troops. Vet 0 Vet 1 - Wounding Shot - 20 munitions Sniper attacks target of oppurtunity, going for wounding shot and forcing squad to be slowed (yellow suppression) Vet 2 - Movement Bonus Vet 3 - Faster shots Vet 4 - Wounding shot now causes targeted squad to be pinned (red) Vet 5 - Self heal when out of combat ...But as stated earlier, OKW really doesn't need a sniper. Honestly in 1v1, what their problem is is timing, maybe a light buff to Volks. To be honest no sniper should get a movement bonus. It is already annoying as fuck that they can kite you indefinitely on long range and are actually quite mobile. They should not be able to "sprint" in any form apart from retreating. And although I find the idea of a wounding shot neat, I think giving it suppression would cause a lot of issues. Since suppression only slowly lower when the squad is in combat, this ability would take out a complete squad for the rest of the fight (unless there are some of those magic recoveries that sometimes happen despite being under fire). Rather give it Ostheer's stun shot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Potential economic system21 Aug 2020, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2020, 17:04 PMAngrade (Ægion) In dawn of war 2 (maybe it is just the elite mod), income from points increases over time. I was curious if you could do this for Company of Heroes 2 and you can. This could add a bit more strategic depth in the game. Decapturing a point would cause more fuel and munitions income damage rather than an inconvenience. It would also reset all cut off sectors causing even more damage and give even more of a focus to focus cut off points and cause new abilities to more 'damage' such as Encirclement's Break Supply Line. I condemn this witchery and demand Ægion must be burned at the stake! (very nice job though) In: COH2 Gameplay
