Thread: Former Relic studio head joins Sega & CoH314 Feb 2018, 17:36 PM Thinking about it, the map pictured above might've been useful for automatch map pools and/or faction choice. Select north Germany region for WFA matches on port of Hamburg, or select an eastern front region for soviets v ostheer on steppes. There could be plenty of overlap there, but it could give some sense of variety or control that isn't just vetoing maps. In: Lobby
Thread: Former Relic studio head joins Sega & CoH314 Feb 2018, 17:14 PM IMO it would have been closer to Planetsides perpetual map control war, or the soulless multiplayer campaign maps in Total War. Or Red Orchestra/Rising Storm. There's little tangibility to this kinda map. The point of it is to be a content vehicle, but there's got to be the content to deliver. In: Lobby
Thread: Sturmtiger post-nerf14 Feb 2018, 17:02 PM Yeah, late game people use infantry and only infantry to spot. It's not like there's a ton of units and abilities that perform recon in one way or another. The stats that matter are the base sight range of select infantry squads at arbitrary points in the game. That way, the amount of forum posts you can rack up are SO. MANY. In: COH2 Balance

The product for sale in MWNL includes nothing but Soviets and Ostheer. No other factions, no ardennes, no ToW, skins, etc. No other DLC or Expansion, whatever you want to call it. This is far as I can tell. In: Lobby

Thread: Reinforcing OKW13 Feb 2018, 17:05 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2018, 05:26 AMHauRuck So I'm pretty new to CoH2 after playing CoH 1 a fair bit. I'm loving OKW so far, but the biggest problem I tend to have is reinforcing my squads in the field. With Ostheer I always have a halftrack on standby, but OKW doesn't seem to have any decent reinforcement options. Their squads kick a lot of ass but having to run all the way back across the map to get my squads up to strength or to recrew a heavy weapon is just killing me. Is there something I'm missing here? I just find it hard to keep up any kind of pressure with this army. I know the medic truck can reinforce but once it's set up it can't be moved and putting it too far forward is suicide. Not to mention that it costs a hell of a lot to get both medics and making it a forward retreat point. At the moment I'm mostly practicing against AI and I find myself chasing my AI partner's 251s around the map to reinforce lol The medic truck, on top of all that, imbues a reinforcement penalty on top of all those costs. This was specifically because of OKW's reinforcing capabilities, if you can believe it. Like Aarotron said, the Feuersturm doctrine, which you should buy with supply (that you hopefully have earned enough grinding AI), has the opel blitz truck. This commander was freshly redesigned around the changes that came with the most recent patch. It's hard to tell but you're kind of supposed to play the new redesigned factions. The Luftwaffe doctrine's planes enable Fallschirmjager to reinforce a couple models on the field if you can afford it as well. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Sturmtiger post-nerf13 Feb 2018, 00:10 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2018, 00:07 AMKill3rCat I'll be frank; HelpingHans made a mistake. He normally plays well, but in that instance, was playing like someone who'd just bought the game. The loss of his three tanks could have easily been avoided, by even slightly microing his tanks. From the moment he saw the Sturmtiger, to the moment it fired, he had about 10 seconds to react, and he failed to do so. An example of one Twitch streamer making a mistake does not mean the Sturmtiger is a viable weapon. Of course! The point is not that he lost his tanks, it's that an example of one Twitch streamer tends to take over in its own right. It's actually got nothing to do with Hans, his gameplay, or even the Sturmtiger. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmtiger post-nerf13 Feb 2018, 00:04 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhXxK2TGTEA This is why. Not that something like this could happen, but that a clip from a top streaming player tends to be taken as evidence of the norm. After all, I'd wager more people have probably seen the above clip than have seen a Sturmtiger operate as effectively. (Let alone used one in such a fashion themselves.) Regardless, the damned unit used to be a stock option for OKW. It's been a problematic unit for sure, but it was ultimately nerfed in the wrong ways for the wrong reasons. At a certain point it probably would've been better just to make it a sort of a mobile B4 firing railway arty type rounds on a similar cooldown. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ass grenadiers are perfect in 2v211 Feb 2018, 17:16 PM You can typically get similar performance out of pioneers. They at least can get flamethrowers, which is far more preferable on any urban map. In: Ostheer Strategies
