Thread: Return of Relic Pro/Am and there will be a new update!27 Jun 2018, 00:11 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2018, 10:10 AMTatatala Sidd being VA... nm, it's never funny when you have to explain a joke to a German... I disagree. I think you simply embark into a whole different world of humor. In: Lobby
Thread: OH - Early 2018 1v1 tournament meta27 Jun 2018, 00:07 AM It is absolutely no surprise that Mobile Defense is highest in people's loadouts, even if this data is 'obsolete'. Just having it in the load screen is an advantage because it threatens direct counters to vehicle rushes. Your loadout is your first move in every CoH2 match, after all. The EFA factions have relatively few strategically unique commanders without overlap. Mobile Defense offers a strategy that no other commander offers. And it just so happens three out of three allied factions are readily capable of exploiting OH's weaknesses via early vehicles. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: add max prestige setting for custom games26 Jun 2018, 23:35 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2018, 20:05 PMbullx ... This game is certainly extremely unfriendly to new players. Very few things actually indicate what they seem, and there is little you can actually do about it aside from what has been described above. Otherwise you'll be stuck playing custom matches and interviewing every player to the best of your ability. My advice (if what you're describing is playing with friends who are new to the game): Do not play multiplayer with your (new) friends against other players. Play against each other in 1v1s and if you're as lucky as I have been: periodical 2v2s. That is the best way you can really introduce new players to this game: mentor them into it. Once they're feeling more proficient at the game and it's many hidden nuances and interactions, go into the fray with them. But subjecting a new player to CoH2's multiplayer is rather sadistic.

Thread: Return of Relic Pro/Am and there will be a new update!22 Jun 2018, 22:01 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jun 2018, 01:57 AMnigo When I say "little tweaks" I mean change things like that: Remove "Not one step back" ability and put "For the Motherland" ability Urban Assault PGrens is OP? Fine! Change for another german unit. T34-85 Red banner Ace is OP? Change for IS2 or ISU (these two tanks only appears in two commanders). Theres no reason for unreleased stuff continues in a blackout. CoH2 needs new content. Then it's not really new content now is it? It'll just be more commanders with a different configuration of existing abilities and callins... which was the lesser of the problems with the EFA faction commanders. (The greater issue having been the blatant pay-to-win strategy each DLC release that were intentionally overpowered and nerfed to the ground when sales dropped in time for the next DLC.) In: Lobby
Thread: Penal PTRS bug22 Jun 2018, 21:50 PM Probably a bug because I believe the reason Penals don't drop PTRS was to preserve that AT satchel ability being functional. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: The MG42 needs to be looked, the allies mg's are dog shit.22 Jun 2018, 21:45 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jun 2018, 09:05 AMTheGentlemenTroll Well I would say Grens are fine against Cons and beat tommies in most situations. Rifles though will likely require the mg42 as gren spam gets face rolled by rifles typically. \ IMO worst early game infantry is Tommies by a long shot. 280 horrendous movement accuracy, low rof outside cover and super inflexible. The thing about Tommies is that they don't really operate at an 'optimal' range. It's all about cover for them. A squad of tommies is nearly as effective at close range as they are at long range, both in and out of cover. So while every other faction's infantry are maneuvering to get to their optimal range, (typically 'point blank' or 'max range/A-move'.) all Tommies can/have to do is be in cover. They operate under different mechanisms than everyone else. Early game, a tommie squad in cover really can't be dislodged without support weapons (ost) or overwhelming force (okw). Caught out of position, though, they're as ineffective as shock troopers outside point blank range. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Langreskaya22 Jun 2018, 02:19 AM Langres worked because of the triangle of +10 fuels and it struck a balance by using a +16 munitions point. Langreskaya does not have these critical features. The cutoffs also give resources, which complicates matters further. The sooner its design abandons its predecessor, likely the better. But a +1 about the elevation changes. It is the unfortunate reality of CoH2. In: Summer patch 2018

Thread: Angoville 19 Jun 2018, 19:30 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2018, 15:02 PMA_E Angoville does not work as well with a true sight setting. Angovile does not work with CoH2's retarded 'standard territory point' system vs. the original 'strategic point system'. Remove Angoville from CoH2 - it doesn't work with these systems. Same as Semois. Angoville is the first map ever crafted for Company of Heroes, it is legendary, and doesn't deserve this. Remove it from CoH2 and have done with it. What is sad is that the map plays quite well with the coh1 style points, even without being attached to pop cap. It KIND OF translates with "trusight". I always wondered how feasible a mini tourney would be using maps using modified pseudo-coh1 style territory points. coughsigcough In: Summer patch 2018
