Thread: Mines Suppress and Pin29 Jul 2013, 11:09 AM It's kind of an irrelevant functionality. Usually if a squad is hit by a mine the first thing you do with them is retreat. You trying to flank an MG with 1 or 2 models, and you're gonna have a bad time. Your "duck for cover" effect is already there. When things explode next to squads they go prone or dive for cover. You can see when tanks shoot at them, a grenade blows up or artillery is hitting nearby. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Dear Relic, can I have a word please? (Russian history)29 Jul 2013, 00:26 AM Nazism was chauvinistic nationalism made manifest and brought to extremes. When you get right down to it, in practice what the Nazis did and what the Communists did were absolutely identical, with the only exception being handling of economic situations. If you need to look at the byproduct of moronic levels of nationalism, you only need to look at history. But of course, Russians wouldn't know what history is outside of their prescribed Russian nationalist indoctrination. I bet you think Putin is harbinger of freedom too, right? Too bad the Americans never listened to Patton. In: Lobby

Thread: Can we please limit the blizzard?28 Jul 2013, 19:18 PM I've disliked the Blizzard mechanic since Closed Beta. It's too restrictive to infantry play. I'd be fine if the vision was impaired the way it is now, if the other debuffs were reduced significantly in effectiveness. Right now tanks dominate the metagame, primarily as a result of the abundance of heavy weapons teams, the low damage on infantry, and Blizzards. The mechanic has needed to be toned down since Closed Beta, and while it has in some situations, it's become more restrictive in others. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Guards Rifle; The 'SU-85' of Infantry?28 Jul 2013, 19:14 PM Guards Rifles are solid. They'll stick up to Grenadiers(With an MG42 it's touch and go who wins, depends on veterancy and luck) but they get rolled over by PzGrens so they have a solid counter, unlike the SU-85. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dear Relic, can I have a word please? (Russian history)28 Jul 2013, 13:49 PM The primary requirement for German games is that they don't display Nazi iconography or glorify them. That simply means editing out some symbols. In: Lobby
Thread: Dear Relic, can I have a word please? (Russian history)28 Jul 2013, 10:56 AM Because they were exempted as they were a member of the Allies. The same way the Americans were absolved of the carpet bombing of Dresden and things like the Dachau massacre. In: Lobby
Thread: A summary of balance feedback for COH228 Jul 2013, 00:24 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2013, 23:54 PMhubewa I think that's actually forcing a lot of ppl (myself included) away from COH2 multiplayer atm - you're either forced to play Germans or hope that your opponent isn't a douche and spams strafe all day long. Any hotfix to effectively get rid of strafe would have been preferred. Instead, the devs just allow the COH2 multiplayer base to rot away as strafe keeps on getting used. I've been trying to learn Russians now for the past week and a half and I simply just can not. Every game is filled with the MG42 +10% Bulletin and Strafe. It' the go-to cheese. That said, I feel that what I'm doing would work if they didn't exist, I'm using a doctrine with no upgrades to Conscripts and no extra units. In: COH2 Balance
