Thread: Time to dust off the Elefant. O, and bunkers1 Jul 2013, 10:04 AM People are using the Tiger commanders not because of the Tiger but because of the other abilities: Opel Blitz + ridiculous strafe <- feels just as BS as current Soviet meta Smoke + Mortar HT <- great doctrine! Overall, the Elefant is an interesting unit for sure but the doctrine feels like it is lacking in early and mid game. Once the game gets to late game it just shreds the stupid SU-85s though. The best thing is that it punishes the SU-85s by beating them with their own medicine. Very long range combined with extreme sight ranges even without support units simply shouldn't be on any one unit. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: S-Minefield vs Clowncar.1 Jul 2013, 09:41 AM S mine penetration is too low and it has warning signs. ACHTUNG MINEN! <- Really? Who came up with that? Plus the mines are placed randomly! Even if he drives right through the field he'll just catch one or two. I think it is a kinda bad counter that might work against bad players but suggesting this during a tournament with excellent players is no good idea. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sales numbers CoH2?1 Jul 2013, 09:39 AM Only few people play automatch. I can understand that many people don't like automatch because it requires some effort. If someone hasn't played CoH1 a lot he has to do a lot of reading and video watching to really get into it and then will still get many thrashings before improving. This doesn't really attract a huge player base. Campaign and compstomp are more popular though. In: Lobby
Thread: Fragmentation Bombs30 Jun 2013, 14:29 PM Targeting rectangle instead of a circle would really be preferable. At least for air attacks that only do a single pass. Strafing runs are ok with a circle I think. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: HTD needs to go30 Jun 2013, 14:27 PM OOh, if the facing is really locked this probably changes a lot! The stacking ahould still be looked at though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Keeping track of my untis-the UI sucks30 Jun 2013, 14:25 PM I'd really love it if I could move the minimap to the middle, place the unit shields at the bottom instead of top right and could move the notifications as well. The UI doesn't really seem to be focused on keeping easy track of everything but rather designed to move everything out of the way as far as possible so you can look at the pretty explosions... plus the bottom shield has so much wasted space... If it were a MMO I'd probably mod the shit out of it. Atm everyone has the same thing so it is at least fair but I think it would actually be easier to keep track of everything if I'd get a smaller screen... atm I'm just going bottom left - anything happening? left - anything happening? top right - anything happening? It is designed to let you look at the pretty graphics but in the end you're just spending a lot of time looking on tiny portions of the UI that are inconveniently placed in the corners...

Thread: How can I rewind a replay?30 Jun 2013, 01:34 AM You can't. If they can't make rewinding work they should at least allow us to jump to set points in the replay (like every 3 minutes or so). Surely that much be possible, right? I mean saving all the variable the states of the match continuously would probably be too much but every 3 minutes or so. Replays are so tiny files and it is not like the difference between 500 kB and 800 kB or so would make a big difference for the players. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How does armor work in CoH2?30 Jun 2013, 00:22 AM Try reading Ace's post here: http://www.coh2.org/topic/4478/conscript-range/page/2 I don't know if that is how it actually works but it sounds very feasible. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T-34/76 feels plain pathetic 29 Jun 2013, 23:53 PM Change Ram to a stun effect for both tanks, remove the damaged guns and maybe even the damaged engines. Then buff T-34 vs. tanks but slightly decrease its anti infantry damage/accuracy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Give the tripwire flare to the Germans.29 Jun 2013, 23:23 PM Medkits would also be decent if it didn't take like 5 seconds to activate. The only reason to use it if you don't have a healing bunker yet or if you really want to heal one key unit up before the next assault. However, most of the time the unit you want to heal up will be the one holding vet so it is a bit counter-intuitive. Maybe if it healed the squad using it as well? Or make it cheaper... 20 munitions when you are already starved for munitions as Ostheer is too much for healing one unit out of combat. Plus, is it really needed that nearly every German unit has the same vet ability? With the Soviets' mobile cap-everything everywhere play style it at least makes sense to have it on more unit (although 2/3 will be conscripts anyways)... I'd really like to see more variety there. Of course giving other Soviet infantry other vet abilities would be fine then too. Hell, you could even give Pioneers the flare ability and Combat Engineers medikits. In: Lobby
