Thread: Penal Demo Charges timer too short.18 Jun 2013, 01:59 AM The only problem I see with demo charges is that they seem pretty hit-or-miss. They actually have a much larger explosion radius than you'd expect and they deal so much damage than anything that is actually hit by it dies. This is ok, after all it has a long timer that allows for retreating everything but weapon crews or grenaded vehicles. However, everything within 2.5 units is dust by default whereas everything up to 5 units radius has a ~60% chance of dying (0.25*340 is still a lot). This ring of randomness makes them a bit too unpredictable and complicates judgement about which units to move/retreat. But most of the other grenades also have this problem. I'd really like it if all those AoE attacks became less random. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: vs. BasiloneReborn18 Jun 2013, 01:54 AM Finally a game that felt like I actually won after a day of campy mg-spam games on Pripyat. Shows off one very lucky FT halftrack, many lucky Grenadiers and a sportsmanlike Russian trying to fight it without abusing anything strong himself. If you feel like it, feel free to point out anything I could have done differently, weaknesses in my build etc. In: Replays
Thread: 5 things that are destroying balance right now17 Jun 2013, 23:26 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2013, 23:11 PMNullist Id add to this list Ostheers almost complete lack of unit based indirect fire/artillery options, as compared to Soviets. Not only that but look at the stats of the mortars on CoH2stats! Unless I am reading the stats completely wrong or if the stats aren't correct, the Russian mortar's barrage is more accurate and the mortar can move quicker after it. Their autoattack is pretty equal but the Russian one can once more move quicker after it. And I'm not talking about the 120 mm mortar but about the difference between their standard 240 MP mortars. Needless to say that the Russian mortar has more crewmen, making decrewing it much harder and keeping vet on it much easier. I'm increasingly starting to think that Soviet crewmen should simply have only 60 or so health instead of the full 80 every other infantryman has. Please someone tell me I am wrong and just reading things into the numbers... I've had two games today where I needed to take out zis field guns and maxims and my mortars proved insanely inadequate and their weapon crews very resilient to even flanking G43 Grenadiers and Panzergrenadiers.

Thread: Soviets since the last patch17 Jun 2013, 19:00 PM ppsh should also cost a bit more munitions. Overall, most munitions upgrades and abilities should be looked at and reconsidered. With Soviets you stockpile it or mine everything whereas as Ostheer you're often pretty starved for munitions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Patch 17 Jun 2013, 14:53 PM I think it is a thin edge between making comebacks possible and making them too easy. In other strategy games, comebacks aren't really possible and once you lost one engagement it is pretty much GG. What I liked before was the upkeep-free limit of 25 popcap. It rewarded you for staying below or roughly at it until the end of early game for enabling a stronger midgame. It also made comebacks possible after you lost pretty much everything. I'd like to see that return but the current upkeep system is fine too and probably more straightforward to understand for new players. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Game statistics charts: resource income and replays17 Jun 2013, 14:06 PM I'd like to suggest adding a chart for the resource income to the post-game statistics screen. Of course separate for fuel/munition This way people can see for how long and how much resource income they had and thus can analyze their mistakes easier (should have cut munitions/fuel or neutral points etc.) Plus I'd like suggest adding the statistics screen at the end of replays.

Thread: most OP unit in coh217 Jun 2013, 12:29 PM wow, that unit was really a game ender and is impossible to counter when covered by infantry and mines. In: Replays
Thread: Spanky vs Barton G117 Jun 2013, 12:10 PM Wow that really is a complete BS strat. In: Replays
Thread: KV8's Flamers17 Jun 2013, 11:29 AM I think the proposed damage reduction of flamethrowers on retreating units would be the best thing to do. It would fix the KV8, M3+flamers and the flamer HT. Those units have a huge shock value, which is ok. But them killing off everything even if it retreats is stupid. Normal weapons have a high miss chance against retreating units but flamethrowers can't really miss (huge accuracy, AOE damage) and are normally designed to be used rather stationary. Vehicle flame throwers bypass this completely and infantry-held flamethrowers don't really hit retreating units anyways because they have to be stationary. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: server is still down?17 Jun 2013, 02:35 AM Uhm.... it was only offline yesterday afternoon (CET) for a few hours. Have you tried restarting your computer, steam etc.? I just checked ingame and it seems to be working. In: COH2 Gameplay
