Thread: Suppression Bulletin - It's fun, really.26 Aug 2013, 21:54 PM I am not saying they are all bad. The idea behind them IMHO is that they should lead you to our own playstyle with units you like and that idea is good. I havent play COH online so I cant compare how it worked there. My problem with bulletins is that if I can see bulletins my opponent has during the loading screen I can assume he will make unit A or B most likely and this is stupid. So nearly everyone use gren/cons buffs cuz this unit will hit the field in 99% of games and also wins in these early skirmishes can win you the game. To put it short: Bulletins need REDO but the concept of customizing army and playstyle should stay. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shock Troop Nades, Guard Nades, Bundlenades26 Aug 2013, 12:24 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2013, 11:22 AMBlovski I suspect part of the reason Shocks have not been that popular in high level play is that a Tier 1 to Tier 4 player has snipers for anti-infantry and needs guards as a way of protecting them from the Flamer Half Track or Scout Car. From my 2v2 experience it is almost always T1-T4 with guards and the other guy goes T2-T3(4) with shocks (very good commander in that regard is Terror cuz he has propaganda, KV8, howitzer against Pak43 and Elephant). In 1v1 T2 opening is not that strong cuz there is no hard counter to MG42 besides mortar and you have to play more stationary (kinda similar to WSC opening from vCOH which was hard to execute).

Thread: Soviet Sniper Fixed ?25 Aug 2013, 07:05 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2013, 06:39 AMNullist Id recommend: -Increase its sight range above Sov Snipers My idea is opposite. Make Soviet sniper team consists of sniper and spotter with binoculars. Replace the flare ability with something similar (actual use of binoculars) for less ammo. It should work sort of as cone vision on SU85 or Elephant but with wider cone (sort of like on Maxim). If the sniper get killed, spotter can take his weapon and continue to fire, if the spotter is dead, sniper can still fire but his sight is greatly reduced making him vulnerable to countersnipe.

Thread: Unit Ranges24 Aug 2013, 19:59 PM Plz do not try to fix what is not broken. These super units (Elephant and ISU152) have many week points and can be countered with ease. Many Russian players ignore 152mm howitzer but it is great unit against pretty much everything including Elephant (esp with Vet 1 ability). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T-34-85mm Call In Tanks24 Aug 2013, 18:55 PM I agree that T34-85 call in is useless for the price but the interesting fact is that Aimstrong won previous COH2 tourney with this unit. He went for one SU85 and after that this call in and win every soviet game (if I am not wrong). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ghost sandbags ?24 Aug 2013, 12:10 PM It was the same with ghost Tank traps in vCOH esp with Pio spam tactic used against Bren carrier. It is shame that they didnt fix this before or in beta. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: thoughts on new popcap system?24 Aug 2013, 12:08 PM In 1v1 it is imho OK but in team games it is too much. Before the patch I had 3 tigers on the field with infantry support and it was super cool to have (well they cant kill SU85s but still cool). Now I have to suicide units to reinforce some squads in late game which is imho stupid. Maybe they could leave it as it is but make pop cap for 2v2 something like 110-115, 120-130 for 3V3 or so on to compensate. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soviet early game solutions24 Aug 2013, 11:52 AM I dont understand why is everyone trying to compare Maxim with MG42. MG42 is meant to be used defensively while Maxim is an assault support weapon and it can even attack without any supporting conscripts in some situations. MG bulletin has to be nerfed or better changed for something usefull and not IMBA and flanking should be more rewarding in generall (not only against MG42) but this is all we need and this is what we will get in next patch(es) as Devs promised. Any other nerf will totally cripple german early game. In: COH2 Balance
