General Information


Thread: July 30th Patch29 Jul 2013, 19:53 PM I think the changes are rather good, all moving in the right direction. Commander Changes are good and bring them more in line with soviets (mortar by might hit the field a bit quickly but we'll see). htd - can't argue with that. Hard to tell what the changes to starting run will be like from the numbers and will need testing. Open blitz - I feel the trucks will still be effective in 1v1 but won't scale like a beast in 2v2+ - pricing might be too steep 250 May be more acceptable (as you would effectively sacrifice a t1 squad for it) Tanks - look fine the nerf to pz4 will make t34 more viable, t70 makes no sense to me - brilliant looks great and is2/tiger needed it Hmg changes are good but it rewards flanking with another mg rather than grens/scripts Tldr: I'm pleased with it.

Thread: What Counters Ostwind29 Jul 2013, 11:38 AM T34, Su85, I'm fairly sure a Su76 will also kill it. EDIT: I don't think a T70 will win against it. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: M5 Halftrack29 Jul 2013, 09:33 AM It's AA is pathetic - by the time 1 has shot down strafe, it's already made 5 passes and forced mass retreat. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: German Sniper should be cheaper28 Jul 2013, 19:58 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jul 2013, 19:51 PMThe Dave The German sniper in general is way too inferior to its counter-part. The worst part is that for some reason, it takes a TON of damage from a volley by infantry. One full volley from even a engi squad can kill it before you can even react. If an Engi squad is getting that close, it deserves to be punished. Don't decrease price, it would encourage spamming. I would be open to the idea of higher armour however to increase survivability.

Thread: Guards Rifle; The 'SU-85' of Infantry?28 Jul 2013, 17:11 PM The only time I have ever beaten PGrens in a fight with guards, is if they are all standing directly under my grenade. - If a pgren uses a grenade on a guard squad - 2-3 minimum die, and then the pgren cleans up. And guards are not great against all armour, anything higher than T2 and the guards are a support role for real AT. Their button requires munitions, and line of sight. This can easily be countered by panzer smoke. My opinion - Guards are completely fine where they are. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Looking for 2v2 teammate28 Jul 2013, 12:11 PM I would add you, but I didnt really play vCoH - and I have no idea if i'm any good at 2v2! In: Lobby
Thread: Why is automatch so slow -_-27 Jul 2013, 11:56 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2013, 11:18 AMMajorBloodnok And interestingly, the ratio of people playing Soviets in 1 v 1, say 3:1, soon changes in favour of Ostheer on 4 v 4, to something like 1:2 I usually find its 80% Ostheer in 1v1. Back to the topic: I sometimes have to wait ages for 2v2s aswell, however 1v1 is almost instant. (At least is when I was ment to queue for 2v2 >_> ). In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: A Collector's exclusive Doctrine giveaway from Alienware24 Jul 2013, 19:09 PM There has been an update on the Alienware Website regarding this: Looks like Steam provided the wrong keys. We've removed the previous keys from the system and we will be putting up the correct keys once we receive them. Everyone should then have the opportunity to get the key for the correct commander. Thanks for everyone's patience. Hopefully, those who have signed and asked for a key, will receive a new one when they are available! In: Lobby
Thread: Dear Relic, can I have a word please? (Russian history)24 Jul 2013, 13:49 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2013, 13:05 PMMorgengrad I just trying to say that if you make a game about WW2, you have to understand that this game will be played by children, and they will see only bad in Soviet army fighting "neutral" Germans - which is not true. This game is rated as an 18. It should not be played by children, and if parents wish to choose to allow their children to play it. Then it is not Relics problem In: Lobby
Thread: Vods of Campaign Walkthroughs 23 Jul 2013, 19:56 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jul 2013, 13:33 PMHelpingHans I think making short 1v1 tips would be a great idea and I will definitely create VODS of the ToW missions. I have already uploaded 2 of the co-op missions with my mate NoLuckyStrike. A few casters/players from Starcraft 2 did excellent Multiplayer tutorials for beginners, going into the very basics of the different armies (such as what units do, and where/when that is effective) along with progression into general metagame and tactics commonly used in multiplayer - and what to do when they are used against you. Often these tutorials were split into 10 or so episodes covering different aspects and building on previous knowledge in the series. Might be worth doing something similar? May help boost numbers wanting to try 1v1! EDIT: Realised this is nothing to do with campaign! In: Lobby
