Thread: Overwhelmed Italian hospitals & Virus info4 Apr 2020, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2020, 06:00 AMSturmtigerCobra -snip- I looked into this. The vitamin C "method" is controversial. Author's of this meta study (which seems to be regularly updated from what I found) https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD000980.pub4/abstract found no evidence of benefits of vit C AFTER the onset of symptoms. Before the infection it might be helpful. The main point that I want to make is: STAY THE FUCK AT HOME wherever possible. This is the most important thing to do. Don't feel any safer because you're supplementing yourself with vitamins. Wash your hands as the first thing you do when coming home. Change your clothes, don't throw clothes from the outside around. Everything that comes from outside should be stored at a fixed place, best case even in sunlight or at least a warm and dry place. And don't touch your face when you're outside. This is where even a scarf in front of your face helps, because it reminds people of not doing it. In: Scrap Yard

Thread: Question about 120mm mortar30 Mar 2020, 20:30 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2020, 19:20 PMGrumpy What type of buildings, ambient, OKW trucks, or bunkers? The barrage range is 20 more for the 120mm. Autofire is 80 for both. Somebody else did a comparison in cheat mode awhile ago. IIRC, they got did better against buildings with the 120 but the difference wasn't a lot. It may be a little RNG since the 120 is so innacurate. OST bunkers, constantly used the barrage ability at range ~80. I think the normal mortar cleared it in one minute (although 2 and a half barrages needed) while the 120mm needed 1:30 or something. Not 100% sure about the exact numbers, but something like that. I'm pretty sure they are worse against buildings since they fire way slower and have the same damage. Also scatter is worse on the 120mm, at least people have told so in the forums. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Question about 120mm mortar30 Mar 2020, 19:04 PM I just messed around with that mortar in cheat mode recently. The normal SOV mortar is much quicker destroying buildings. Against a static squad however the 120mm kills it quicker. Plus you have a bit more range. 20 if I am not mistaken, but not sure about the exact number. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Are we still playing Coh2 in 2vs2 or Company of Tigers?30 Mar 2020, 16:41 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2020, 14:32 PMEsxile MMX study on the matter seems to show something different: It is hard to make a good opinion at the moment on what will be the situation in the next patch and honestly I'll prefer too much nerf than not enough when it comes to heavies. They don't bring anything to gameplay, they weren't needed before their boost and they're completely suffocating the game at the moment. I think mediums should still be a treat to heavies and not only by flanking behind with all the at snare and atgun that are around them. It is too easy to have your tiger wiping the place with a couple of at snares and an atgun behind to prevent flanking. Atgun problem is their lack of reliability vs heavies. USF ones is probably the worst offender here since you must spend a shitload amount of munition to be effective when RNG jesus doesn't decide to fuck with you anyway. I know about MMX and his simulation. From what I can tell they are a good model for the data we have. We're currently trying to figure out which improvements can be made, although he is the one to implement them since he knows a lot more than me about the actual implementation into Excel. Regarding the simulation itself it does fit decently well with what I said. The overall AoE gets nerfed only slightly, that's why you see only a small increase in the shot number. The simulation is set up so that the squad just sits there until it dies, so the overall AoE is quite important since missed shots still accumulate damage on all models. The current OHK radia vs infantry go down from 1.0XX to about 0.5 for Tiger and IS2. For the Tiger this leads to a OHK nerf by 78%. So all in all, we should see less lucky wipes on retreating squads and also a little bit less bleed over time, since the Tiger is more unlikely to directly kill multiple models with the first one or two shots. At least that's my theory. If it's enough? I don't know, we have to see In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Should soviet Combat E ngineers be buffed?30 Mar 2020, 13:11 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2020, 11:18 AMachpawel A good way to use quarantine But honestly imo the real thing is not their combat stats. What a lot of people don't see is the fact that you have access to 170mp unit that can support vehicles with mines, sweepers, repairs, and that makes the game imbalanced. Of course, slightly. But the last tournament proved exactly that. Soviets could repair their damaged IS2s and other stuff so much more easily by using double CEs plus other repair abilities. OKW, for example, was far behind with buying 300mp sturmpios trying to repair their panthers and no extra repair abilities. OKW has base repairs that is approximately cost equivalent even to CEs (15 fuel for 70 MP) and has a base repair of 9, compared to 11,x of the CEs if I recall correctly. This functionality is the second pio squad that OKW usually does not buy and frees the actual Sturmpioneers for front line duty. These repairs are static, but also do not bleed and they are easy to micro, especially in team games since they do not take up any coordination or micro with your partner. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are we still playing Coh2 in 2vs2 or Company of Tigers?30 Mar 2020, 12:20 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2020, 10:14 AMEsxile They´re still going to be super effective vs infantry - check (on this matter Thighrope test has been quite revelating on people horrified that Tigers wouldn't be anymore super effective vs infantry and Sanders coming back to the rescue to confirm the opposite) The insta kill radius for infantry has been nerfed quite a lot and shrunk down to a fifth. If my numbers are correct (scatter neglected however), every normal medium and even a command P4 now has a higher wipe potential than the Tiger. Their overall AoE has not gone down that dramatically though, so they have seen the treatment basically every high wipe potential unit has seen in the last years. And balance team has had a good record of rebalancing AoE units so far. This will make AT guns much stronger, because one of the issues was that the gunners could get wiped before getting a couple of shots off. I do not like the current heavy-only meta, but I am against the idea that mediums should be a reliable counter to heavies, because this is one of the main purposes of heavies: not needing to care about mediums anymore if they show their frontal armor. Currently, mediums have about a 70-80% pen chance at max range if they hit the rear armor, which goes up by a couple percent if you go to range 20. In: COH2 Gameplay
