Thread: 2vs2 Noob teammates who else goes through this?27 Sep 2017, 19:43 PM Best I can suggest that sometimes it can be worthwhile to push with your ally in the initial stages of the game. Especially on a map like rails and metal or any map that more or less has a 'side' for each team. The benefits of harassing your opponents resources often aren't worth having your own cut off. Now this won't help a player ally that outright loses their first whole squads in the initial engagements. In coh2 it is more important to get resources yourself than it is to deny your opponents resources. But you might be able to get a faust off or cover a flank to keep things afloat. That can go a long way. In: Lobby
Thread: Your worst losses.27 Sep 2017, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2017, 17:51 PMjagd wölfe Even with FBP commanders would have stayed like that. Jadgtiger/elephant ARE op, it's not a call in issue, rather a balance one. Not like I've been able to make any sense of your postings, are you saying that the proposed nerfs to the Elefant and jagdtiger wouldn't have been enough? This is in the context that you feel the buffed/role changed Jackson was good too? As in the FBP Jackson and the FBP elefant and jagdtiger wouldn't have been enough? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Your worst losses.27 Sep 2017, 13:59 PM I'm pretty sure the intended design of every DLC commander was to get you to spend 5 bucks. And man, did I lose some games to DLC commanders on their launch day... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW vs USF Blob26 Sep 2017, 17:11 PM I'll try to watch this tonight, but based on your description you made a few miscalculations. First you made an mg34 to fight a blob. At best functions like your luchs: defending a flank or against a lone capping squad. They just can't stop blobs. A flak truck again falls into this role. They just dont defend the front very well, but can defend a flank nicely. But my main bit of advice is to use MINES. Glorious mines from your sturms. Force minesweepers and/or more cautious movement from your opponent. Minesweeper are a great target to focus fire too. In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Your worst losses.26 Sep 2017, 16:46 PM My worst losses utilize a correct definition of meta. Like when I've lost crucial units to things like ghost sandbags and garrison wiring. Or tripwire flares in doorways. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some concerns with Panzerfuseliers.25 Sep 2017, 23:22 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2017, 20:18 PMRocket Well in team games the vet 5 inf has always been a problem with okw especially after okw got full income. Fusilers pop cap is really low. Also in team games fussilers come with the current op Jagdtiger that basicly stops Allies from being able to use any form of AI Armor or armor at all. the 6 man squad also makes them extremely durable. Also why do axis infantry like fusilers and ostruppen always get a snare??? Allied call in infantry never does with the exception of AT Tommies that makes sense obviously. Point being their isnt even a down fall to calling them in when they still get a snare. Well, originally panzerfusiliers were unique in that they had that snare. If you think about what kinds of units they were supposed to be supporting and fighting at the time, it was a particularly different landscape. (Ostruppen are a bit of a different story in that they are mostly combat ineffective except for absorbing enemy fire, crewing weapons, and that snare.) When volks lost panzerschrecks they gained panzerfausts and StGs. Man I used to crush volks with t34s and m10s all the time before there was a snare. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Desert Operations map25 Sep 2017, 18:33 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2017, 20:49 PMMarkoMKD Hey people,why no one tried to make a map that is being played in the desert ? I mean we see a lot of desert camo based but there is not a single map. What are the chances for someone to make desert map ? There are very very few assets in the worldbuilder that fit the theme of any desert region of world War 2. From the buildings to the trees, there is very little appropriate objects except for rocks, a sea of sand, and a cypress trees and some walls and scrub that are generic enough to belong in africa or the middle east. Similarly, there aren't jungle or pacific island appropriate assets either. We got Europe and steppes at our disposal, and even that's pretty limited. Lot of room for Siberia though In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Some concerns with Panzerfuseliers.25 Sep 2017, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2017, 14:53 PMjagd wölfe And this somehow makes those less armored ? And if the enemy pull those in and i have jadgpanzer 4 ? Drophack ? WANT TO KNOW THE FUNNIEST PART ? both is2 and pershing are in super meta doctrines, king tiger is even less accessible as it requires a complete teching over a simple cp requirement You didn't even know armor values. Uninformed "hurr durr X is better than Y [insert 0 arguments here]" needs to stop. I'm not saying jadgpanzer should get pen buff, but don't call it better than something WHEN CLEARLY IT ISN'T.. Asking a question is different than not knowing something. An invitation to think is also not an expectation that thought will occur. Anyway @Vipper, indeed. That actually is pretty good penetration for what a puma can do. Against shermans and t34 they can be extremely effective. They've got the sight and range going for them. What I've been hinting at is that there is nothing that the allies can field aside from a few doctrinal late game units that can't be penetrated by the stock OKW arsenal. On topic, pfusis being 2cp is their biggest deterrent IMO. Getting to 2 CPS without compromising field presence can be challenge since kubel can cap but not hold territory. But the larger the game is the easier it is to mitigate that weakness. In: COH2 Balance

A puma can pen the rest of the allied arsenal pretty well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Some concerns with Panzerfuseliers.25 Sep 2017, 14:27 PM This thread makes me want to ask two questions: What allied heavies are there that OKW needs more penetration against? And what do people think is the weakness of volksgrenadiers? Or of any of the infantry in this game for that matter? In: COH2 Balance
