Thread: Updated Numeric Veterancy Mod(English)24 Apr 2020, 12:55 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2020, 12:49 PMSpielführer Is there a possibility to sort RelicCoH2.English a bit or how can I fast identify which row belongs to which unit etc.? No chance on that afaik. The "best" way is to delete most of the strings, reload into the game and check which string number is missing on the unit you want to check. You can also look it up in the attribute editor, but as far as I know these string numbers are often not up to date. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: input lag since yesterday - please help!23 Apr 2020, 23:49 PM This is a known issue mostly for people in Germany, Czech Republik and I think some other countries in central Europe. As far as I know that is a server problem by Relic. Unlikely that something will be done about it. The problem comes without any announcement and also goes away the same. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: CoH2 Build Order Project: Soviet T2 Build23 Apr 2020, 23:19 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2020, 19:17 PMAarotron I think your videos are great at their core, but i think you could open a bit more alternative stuff, for examples if enemy gets counters to units you buy or if youd have to change build order. I thought about this too, but I think the videos are better that way. As short as possible, just get a viable build for new players out so that they have more time for actually playing the game and not constantly thinking about what to get next. Then they also have more time to see how the units perform. The more branches to the decision tree, the less will a new player remember. Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2020, 21:41 PMClarity The only build I could think of that might work in 1v1 with Tier 2 would probably on be useful against Ostheer as OKW zergs you with too many Volks too quickly. It would be T2 - Con - Con - Con - Maxim - Infirmary - Zis-3/Guards - AT-Nades - T/70. Cons are played on high level as well. But this is for new players. The meta is not worth that much, what counts is how easy it is to use these units. And SOV T1 leaves quite a lot of gaps, has two micro intense units, expensive main lines which means you get less squads so your map control has to be better. LVs can only be soft countered, snares are more difficult etc etc. T2 is user friendly, and that's what a new player needs to have. In: Lobby
Thread: [Release] DeCoHde 2.0 (Snake Edition!) WIP [Help needed]23 Apr 2020, 21:06 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2020, 20:39 PMVipper I guess one could start a wold builder (with range map probably) and bring the vehicles as items then the hit boxes would become visible. Someone already suggested this when I posted the showcase. But I do not know my way around the world builder. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [Release] DeCoHde 2.0 (Snake Edition!) WIP [Help needed]23 Apr 2020, 20:31 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2020, 19:12 PMDoomlord52 Fantastic work; this will almost certainly be a valuable tool for the community. This aspect won't be accurate; CoH2's vehicles are scaled a lot, and in completely arbitrary ways. For example, compare the 222 and the T34. In game, the T34 is only slightly larger, whereas in reality, the 222 is 4.8m long, compared to the T34s 6.7m. Thank you very much. Yes, I know. This is why I need the in-game sizes. I am pretty sure that my scatter simulation is accurate, the only thing missing are the actual hit boxes to calculate scatter hits. I have tried to measure a P4 by building sand bags around it, but this is a very weird thing to do. I assume it's pretty imprecise and also not feasible for that amount of vehicles. There must be a better way. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [Release] DeCoHde 2.0 (Snake Edition!) WIP [Help needed]23 Apr 2020, 18:55 PM RELEASE VERSION Release version of DeCoHde - Snake Edition. Download Python version here: Python version Download executable version here: Executable version By pressing the link, you will be redirected to download a .zip file from coh2.org. This zip file contains either a Python file or an executable, depending on what you downloaded. For running the Python file, you will need a version of Python 3 (I am using 3.7 at the time of posting). If you have any security concerns you can also open the file with a standard text editor program and have a look at the code even if you do not have Python installed. For running the executable, you do not need anything. However, you cannot look at the code as the whole thing is already compiled. It also runs slightly slower than the Python version, but does the same job. To report the simulation outcomes, DeCoHde 2.0 will create up to three .txt files in its own directory if you chose the targeting or the tank combat sim (options 2 and 3, respectively). If you want to have a detailed look at what this program can do, check out this post. In short, DeCoHde 2.0 can simulate a shootout between two tanks, as well as simulating one tank shooting at the other (without the target firing back). This can help you to analyse how long it takes to take out an enemy tank, how many shots will hit, bounce, penetrate etc. If you are interested in unit stats, you can also use the "inspect" mode to get them (plus some additional stats that are not used in-game, but needed for the program itself) If you come across any outdated stats, please post here or write me a PM This project still needs some help beyond release! The biggest problem right now is that I do not know the in-game hit box sizes of the tanks. I took the real life size from Wikipedia instead. However, this could mean that scatter shots might not be 100% true to the in-game situation. If you know how to get the in-game hit box sizes, please let me know. Finally a thanks especially to MMX for discussions and clearing up some stuff on the scatter model, as well as Vipper for providing a mod to prove the used model. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Hannibal EDIT: Note: Just saw that the Puma's stats are screwed up because I inserted one value at the wrong place. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: CoH2 Build Order Project: Soviet T2 Build23 Apr 2020, 14:56 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 10:18 AMdasheepeh Don't you think that videos of this type are kind of obsolete at this point in the game's life-cycle? (this is not to discredit the quality of the video) Even if the audience is probably very small, Autobahn seems to do it just for the fun of it. The videos are pretty well made. Very short and concise, cover what, when and why. I think this is all you need to know to get started. The only thing that could be imprpved without too much effort would be to synchronize what you say and what the video shows you better. Especially in the first video it was a bit off. If you say to buy the AT grenade to make sure you can defend a Luchs or 222, show Cons throwing it etc (can't remember if that was in there like that or not, just an example). If you say to buy a T70 to get your midgame right, don't show it dying. Show it chipping away at infantry. It might die in the end, does not matter, but show it in it's intended role, or fight off a Luchs (although this would probably take too long for the video). With the sweepers you could show them sweeping a mine to keep a T70 in the same shot safe. Not a huge thing, but this can really improve the conveyed message. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF - too much healing?19 Apr 2020, 15:47 PM I'm not a huge fan of the medic squad, but I was not a hzge fan of the medic upgrade before this either. The medic squad is a step forward though, since the IS upgrade just encouraged blobbing. I find the medic squad a bit clunky to use. The standard healing does not seem to heal highly damaged models properly. And even if it does, keeping it on the front line often makes no sense since UKF cannot reinforce at the front line. So you are better off to just keep the squad in the base anyway and do front-line healing with one upgraded IS. On the other hand, medics are a cheap capping squad if you don't need them, so front line duty seems to be benefitial. All in all the unit is just a bit weird to use, at least for me. If possible, my favourite would be to give Brits standard healing squads on all bases (HQ, FOB and gliders). And then make the IS upgrade replace one soldier with a medic and enable the squad to either use the OST med kits or drop med crates like OKW. So you sacrifice a bit of firepower for free, slow healing, but can speed it up by paying a bit of mun. However I am still at the stage where I need to find out how to most efficiently use the medic squad, so maybe no fixes are needed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Top players boycotting grens in the tournament.19 Apr 2020, 14:58 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2020, 19:43 PMIncendiaryRounds Well, I see that the likes of Kimbo and VonIvan (and I may have missed a few others) are using ostruppen/agrens to great effect. In fact most players that use grens end up losing even with 5man upgrade. Haven't watch all the games but so far I've only seen Luvnest win a game with grens. Just sayin'. I'm not asking for any changes. Just my observations. Grens haven't really changed much, yet many top players are sick and tired of using them. VonIvan often does not build any Grens and goes for Assgren-PGren combos. At least in this case it is nothing unusual. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M42 pens too often?19 Apr 2020, 14:57 PM One thing to keep in mind though is that the 42mm has faster rate of fire (I think by at least 2 sec shortened, but no hard numbers on that one). This bumps the DPS up quite a bit and makes it an okay-ish unit against everything it can somewhat reliably penetrate. In: COH2 Balance
