General Information


Thread: Soviet elite troop doc20 Nov 2013, 14:06 PM This commander has a general lack of Bear Cavalry. The Putin is a great game finisher, but some Bear Cavalry for the mid game is a must. In: Lobby
Thread: Luftwaffe Supply to Panther Spam19 Nov 2013, 14:28 PM Oh, does anyone know the buff effects for the medic drop? I didn't find much of anything in the ability files Edit: Thanks to Milkacow's help here are the values and the location (\attrib\ebps\props\supply_drop_medical_supplies.json). The buff and heal have a range of 25 and last for 30 seconds. The heal restores 27 health. Buff for all infantry and HMG units: +17% armor, +17% accuracy (multiply_add). Buff for all AT guns: +17% armor, +17% damage (multiply_add). Buff for all mortars and artillery: +17% armor, +17% damage (multiply_add). According to Milkacow, the effect stacks not only with other effects but also with itself (because it is set to not be exclusive and because of the multiply_add usage type), so you seem to be able to pick up all three for a +51% bonus but then you probably lose some of the healing power.

Thread: Reflex speed19 Nov 2013, 14:11 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2013, 10:07 AMSmokazCOH Yeah right, liar 0,296 here I've been getting lots of 0.296 on my left hand as well. I think it may have something to do with the (actual) resolution of the test. Curiously, the tests for my right hand were around 0.35 and I'm right handed. And the keyboard etc. plays a huge role as well. I mapped space to one of my mouse's thumb buttons and got times between 0.21 and 0.24 (shorter way, less strength to push the button). In: Lobby
Thread: Luftwaffe Supply to Panther Spam18 Nov 2013, 23:47 PM My first impression of this commander is that it is great. It supplies both resources and offmap scouting and bombing support. Medic drop: Worth it nearly every time. Picking up one of the packs is enough to heal and buff all nearby squads, so you don't need to move your Pak/MG to heal/buff them. Supply drop: Very interesting. Especially 150 munitions is huge, allowing to go for more unit upgrades in exchange for some manpower. Recon run: nothing new, like it. Flame bombing run: Not convinced about this one, but I guess it is just situational. Stuka dive bomb: Great! I have to play around with this some more but it feels like this could be an interesting counter to Soviet Industry, first getting Panzerschrecks and then skipping to Panthers. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: AT Nades Vs Panzerfausts18 Nov 2013, 17:35 PM From my experience, some stone walls, fences and buildings block the Panzerfaust. The higher penetration is, as others have already said, to compensate for not being able to lob it over the front armor (and also obstacles). Plus AT Grenades profit a lot from both Ooraah and their faster aim time, making it much harder to avoid and much easier to deploy (not complaining, just stating its advantages). Of course a disadvantage is that you need to spend a little manpower/fuel/time to unlock them. Overall, I'd say the balance between Panzerfaust and AT grenade is fine and shouldn't really be messed with. But with the way things are going right now, chances are they'll do something stupid like buff the Panzerfaust instead of just fixing the goddamn commanders. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Future Balance Items by Relic16 Nov 2013, 01:49 AM I like that they are releasing notes prior to implementing them now, even if I don't like some of the changes. However, I think fixing the messed up commanders should be a priority over implementing (potentially good but ultimatelly giant) changes like build time/starting MP and moving vehicle scatter penalty. These two changes alone have the potential to change the game a lot and with the current commander chaos they can't possibly be tested and balanced adequately. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Countering Industry14 Nov 2013, 14:19 PM The T1 Osttruppen build (maybe with 1 sniper) might work: Osttruppen for map presence, high Panzerfaust count, shielding the sniper and stalling the conscripts. The sniper is mainly there for its manpower drain (using the lower manpower income for your advantage) and maybe as a bait. Munitions goes towards 1-2 mines or maybe Schrecks. Then get 1 Pak, maybe more later. I wonder if then going T4 for the Panther would be an option. It could also work with normal Grenadiers instead of Osttruppen. This is mainly theoretical, though... haven't played much yet after that patch. One thing that may be a problem is that reading this commander is rather hard. You won't know for sure if he went Industry or is just running around somewhere else until you meet the first tanks. I really hope they go through with that display of the chosen commander that we saw swiftly in the stream. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 7 muni Anti Personnel mine13 Nov 2013, 21:10 PM Oh so they are using the same weapon? I guess they then feel so strong because people can actually place them manually (unlike the random distribution in the S mine field) and because of smaller squads. 2 mines closer to each other rather than spread out randomly + smaller squads (smaller squad spread, more soldiers caught). This reminds me that we still can't build S mines in a sensible manner. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 7 muni Anti Personnel mine13 Nov 2013, 15:26 PM Does anyone know the stats for these mines? I can't find them on the stats site nor in the game files I extracted and converted today. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How I feel about paid commanders.11 Nov 2013, 13:07 PM I think they should rethink their pricing. If the price for interesting and unique commanders, like many of the new ones, weren't 4€ each, people would probably complain a lot less and I'm sure they'd also sell more of the commanders. Plus they really need to bundle them up and offer them at reduced prices. Then they could even slip in some "less interesting" commanders that wouldn't sell so well otherwise. People would probably also complain less about P2W with a lower price and maybe even the possibility to try a certain commander for 5 matches or so before deciding whether to buy it. In: Lobby
