Northside building totally needs more health. Some cover north of the building can help prolong/enable combat in that northern section. Adding some green cover in the upper left would help balance the cover addition. Moving the walls around gives a slightly larger area of combat/sight for the garrison. It doesn't lock down swathes of the map, but it wouldn't be blind on half its sides. As far as the southside building, the power plant, it has a very strong view of righthand side player's approach, unlike in the north. The three panels of wall with the fuel tank on the right is the only real sight blockers to the right of the power plant. By wrapping the wall around the cover behind the electric consoles, the east has wider breadth to approach. The reason I suggest the changes to the left of the power plant moving the wall are from observations of lefthand players retreat paths. By shifting the gap further right, it should hopefully improve retreat paths without impacting righthand player maneuverability through the area. It also lines up the hedgerow with the building to (help) keep a sight blocker around until heavy crush. Grudge match offered actually a great variety of games despite being between the same two players. In: Map Sharing

When you can remove the redcover from it but still river; then DO IT; JUST DO IT. I believe the only way to prevent water from being red cover is to remove it, or to freeze it. In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch1 Aug 2018, 16:20 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2018, 12:44 PMSturmpanther As i said already before. The vote / Poll was never the head of the solution what should get removed. I never said that Relic or me removed just because of a Poll. It is just a extra feature. You really lost your mind in these poll i have the feeling. It's not like this is public knowledge. The inner workings of these decisions are a bit at the root of things here. It isn't communicated or described to anyone except a select few individuals. It appears as of late this role has fallen onto you Sturmpanther. Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2018, 11:14 AMblvckdream Why not help Sturmpanther with the map patch like other mappers do? I don't think you understand the timeline or the history of map making and patching with Relic. A lot of changes can be made to buy a few months time before the novelty wears off. Very few changes can be made that will introduce more dynamic and replayable matches. And that's not even yet considering whether all possible faction combinations and start locations are balanced. Hell, a lot of maps are unchanged from the time there were only two factions. There's a balanced, unbiased way to approach making and patching maps. This appears to be a pipe dream to achieve, unfortunately. The fact that there's any argument in this thread whatsoever is what drives me insane. Relic is nowhere to be seen and we're being defensive with each other. In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: Stormtrooper Pzsreck drop31 Jul 2018, 23:43 PM I have been trying to replicate this bug. I cannot. However, the bug that you cannot re-purchase a panzerschreck is still in game. Stormtrooper schrecks are a one-off upgrade, so you better not drop it. (A strong reason not to get g43s on a schreck squad.) But yes, that is indeed an unfixed bug, but it has nothing to do with G43s. You also can't upgrade a schreck, drop it, then choose to upgrade x4 StGs. That said: if you lose the models holding the panzerschreck (but it doesn't drop) on a G43 stormtrooper squad, then the remaining 2 members will NOT switch to the schreck, (when it would be their 'turn'.) You have to reinforce that third member to start using the schreck again. This does seem reliably consistent. Even though StGs are an exclusive upgrade with the panzerschreck, StG upgraded storms can still pick up two panzerschrecks. It's kinda goofy, but even though StGs and G43s are "slot_items", they don't actually take up a slot, whereas panzerschrecks do. (And LMG34s, BARS, Brens, LMG42s, etc.) What is interesting is that in the case of StG storms picking up a schreck, if the model holding the schreck dies, it doesn't transfer to the other squad members. And if you reinforce, there appears to be a 50/50 chance (from what I'm seeing) that the model will pull out an StG or a Panzerschreck. It seems to pick at random which weapon the model will pull out. This is because all 4 members are given the StG slot item, but still have an open 'slot'. If you upgraded this StG schreck stormtrooper squad with, say, G43s, you'd be adding more items into the mix. But to be clear this is a stormtrooper squad that upgraded both StGs AND G43s then picked up schrecks. But until those two slots are filled, Storms can pick up weapons regardless of G43s or StGs. To be honest though, I had thought that the Stormtrooper G43 package had been replaced with the panzergrenadier version which DOES lock out slot_item pickups as you would describe. But that was in a patch I think even before you made this thread last year. TLR I have strong doubts it'll be solved next patch. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch31 Jul 2018, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2018, 08:26 AMSturmpanther 1. Relic give almost /no ressoruce to improve coh1 or coh2. This game is old and they focus on new projects. Means the patches are community based. Yes. This has essentially been the case since after British release in September 2015. CoH2 has been operating on community based support for as long as it hasn't. Yes I don't have that hardcore scope as it is for unitpatches. Because DBP was such a success, so Relic gives me alot of freespace. But 1 thing is clear from RELIC: They don't want to remove many maps. Aka to have only like 6 maps in 1vs1. So removing maps is not that easy to bargain from relic as you guys maybe think. Same counts for adding new maps into automatch. Don't forget; Its THEIR GAME. Yes. Though let us also not forget that Relic doesn't really communicate with the community of their game. I mean, you're telling the community right now that Relic is very clear they don't want to remove many maps. As far as I can tell that's only been relayed to you in private, as anyone else only knows because of this post in this thread. Now, see point 1. This game relies on community based support, and has for years. Transparency on Relic's part would go a long way to support user generated content. Points 3-10 :\| 11. Since you think poll and asking the community is timewaste, we will not ask them about 2vs2. I just will announce here right now for people, who are interest in maps and read this whole thread: 1 2vs2 map will get removed! Hype. In: Summer patch 2018

Thread: (2) Vilshanka - Season 128 Jul 2018, 03:57 AM My thoughts: Moving the fuel and munitions are just afterthoughts with the intent to redistribute some of the resource weight on the map. There's a very specific design intent on this map that I am not really privy to, so I'll leave it at that. In: Seasonal Map Cup
Thread: German units too cheap or are Allied units too expensive?26 Jul 2018, 23:12 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jul 2018, 22:39 PMShadowLinkX37 So you call it as you see it at rank 1000 and then complain on the forums and are countered by people who are most likely better than you. That’s a legitiment arguement. People laugh because you refute their arguements which come from players with higher ranks, more games, more skill, more experience. Want help on what you’re doing wrong? Ask for it. Everything about this discussion and this BabyRage aside, it's not like high ranked players have ever given bad gameplay or balance advice, right? They always eat the soap. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Churchill AVRE23 Jul 2018, 14:02 PM Sturmtiger rocket deals 580. AVRE deals 440. Therefore Sturmtiger is better. The bigger number is better. Just like post counts. This is the extent and depth of analysis you should expect given the person you're responding to. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Churchill AVRE22 Jul 2018, 15:25 PM I am willing to bet that the OP is experiencing AEC stun shots and Firefly tulip rockets in these scenarios. The tulip rockets and firefly shell can deal up to an additional 440 damage. Combined with the 40 damage stun shot from an AEC, you're at 920 damage and have 3 more seconds of stun shot to expire. Even without firefly support, AEC stuns can make it extraordinarily easier to hit your intended target with the AVRE. Without it, the AVRE isn't much better or worse than the Sturmtiger. The AVRE has just got synergy with units when used ingame that you typically won't be able to glean from stats neckbearding. In: COH2 Balance
