Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP17 Dec 2013, 13:40 PM Scout cars are a joke vs shock troopers, pgs don't fair much better. Soviets get a 6 man knights cross holder squad at the early game while germans have 0 elite inf. All i have been seeing lately is massive shock trooper spam followed by su 85s. They need a higher reinforce cost because the only inf that can even last long enough to not instant retreat is pgs. Pgs have a 45mp reinforce cost vs shocks with a 36 man reinforce squad. Yes they have more entities to reinforce but since they already start with 6, dont lose combat effectiveness when they lose 2 men half the squad, they still have the advantage. The fht nerf took away germans only wtf kill machine(barring tiger ace), so shocks have very little threat of a complete squad wipe if down to 2 or 3 men. By the end, there are 5 to 6 shock squads running around. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fully Customizable Commanders15 Dec 2013, 15:56 PM I think there could've been/could be a balance between customization and wtf craziness. Pros whining or not, they were always playing coho till the end. Not many pros are playing coh2 now. Not many people are playing coh2 now. Coho always had thousands on at any time of the day and was it never hard to find a game in under a min. Fun factor always trumps balance and while in the pursuit of perfect balance coh2 lost a lot of the fun factor. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic, can you finally ...14 Dec 2013, 18:35 PM I think the main reason it was mandatory to have tanks in vcoh is at guns. They were as cheap as an inf squad, they built quick and had punch. The dynamic of costly, slow to build at guns in coh2 makes fielding them , especially in an emergency quite difficult. The patch helped by making them a little cheaper but 320 imo is still too much. I don't know why they were made harder to field, but it's obvious the outcome is at guns not actually being a hard counter to tanks. Which means it's almost mandatory that you have tanks to fight tanks in coh2. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Popcap and units spamming12 Dec 2013, 21:30 PM So what you are saying is spam didn't exist in vcoh...? In a game with so few units to build, spamming 1 unit almost cant be avoided. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: grenadiers in halftrack10 Dec 2013, 21:58 PM skipping t1 seems like a good idea, but you still need one cp point. How can you hold map control when you will already be outmanned with the new manpower changes by the time you get to t2 and get a 1st combat unit out? And then how do you get that 1 cp quick enough to buy a 520 40 fuel unit before t70 comes, without map control or equal amount of combat inf. Somebody should try this out and let us know how it goes.

Thread: 7 muni Anti Personnel mine10 Dec 2013, 21:52 PM how about a slow recharge, they can stay cheap but you cant wtf spam them in a short time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG 42 The Most Useless Unit In The Game10 Dec 2013, 01:52 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2013, 00:44 AMDietBrownie This man speaks the truth. It should suppress both squads if they are close but if one approaches at the very left and other approaches from the very right then the MG should suppress only one of them. It was like this in vCoh and the same should be applied in this game. In vcoh, if Im not mistaken, squads in close proximity to each other would get suppressed and the more entities in the group, the higher the suppression. I notice the maxim will suppress 2 units if they are near each other but one is not directly targeted. However the mg42 won't, unless units are entangled. That shouldn't happen imo. IF you cant be bothered to flank ,you should not be rewarded. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 7 muni Anti Personnel mine9 Dec 2013, 23:46 PM Its more annoying than it is strong. It also upsets my delicate sensibilities knowing that I cant return the favor due to German mines being so costly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG 42 The Most Useless Unit In The Game9 Dec 2013, 23:41 PM so you call people statements stupid and silly and accuse people of not knowing how to play and you are surprised at people calling you a fanboy? You cannot take the high road and the low road at the same time unless you are running for the President of the USA. In: COH2 Balance
