Thread: CoH2 Patch News!5 Nov 2013, 00:28 AM Came across this little bit of info. Possible patch notes! Not officially confirmed by relic or anything, but looks far too realistic to not to be. http://pastebin.com/VYd6mq3F Very long but for those who don't want to shuffle through vet changes here are some noticeable bits: 180 degree firing. No more building insta-explosions, but fire and aoe effect are better against them. Tanks less accurate on the move vs infantry. T34/85, ju-87 anti-tank buffs. 120mm nerf. No more blitz or overdrive with engine damage! Early soviet buildings build twice as fast. More starting resources for both factions. Panther, Brumbar, Elefant, and ISU-152 price changes. Vet changes for everyone!!! In: Lobby

They usually use such methods to measure the active community that might visit the site and participate in the community. Sounds like all ToW missions will be co-op activated now. Let's just hope they let more than 2 players in because my CoH group is at least 3 players including myself, with a sometimes 4th player, and we would love to play co-op. It might be that they want you to sign up for the new forums. In: Lobby
Thread: Is it bad to use assault grens?30 Oct 2013, 17:29 PM AssGrens may not be entirely balanced just yet, but any good soviet player should be able to deal with them well enough until they get a building up, at which point they are no more troublesome then standard grens. There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't use them. Now when they just came out, those where some terribly OP pieces of shite and any player who used them knowingly should have burned in hell. I felt terrible in those two matches I played trying them out. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 120mm Mortars & Grens Vs Cons30 Oct 2013, 13:57 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Oct 2013, 11:07 AMGustavGans I would also like to remind you that the incendinary-barrage of the MHT costs 60 mun on a already ammo starved faction and that the MHT has a significantly shorter range than the 120mm. Also you can't just recrew the MHT like the 120mm. I hate this idea that somehow germans are constantly starved for munitions. Germans have OPTIONS! It is a completely viable option to not buy upgrades and save for abilities and doesn't leave you at any disadvantage to the soviets. The soviets don't have that option and can mostly only use it on abilities, it's not as if they have more munitions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German sniper survivability26 Oct 2013, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Oct 2013, 17:51 PMc r u C e 1.I am calm 2.I see no reason why it should have it's health "tweaked",the Sniper guy doesn't want to die to small arms fire already And this wouldn't change that. It would only help in the case of AOE damage. And only slightly as a direct hit from most things would still kill it. In: COH2 Balance

I've been trying to work a sniper into my german build since the meta is very T2 focused for Soviets at the moment and have found quite some success as you say (I only build it when I've confirmed they went T2 and no 120mm mortars). How does the unit measure up when the Soviet goes T1? Is it still worth getting or is it too much of a liability to countersnipe? What about against the 120mm? I'd love to hear the opinion of a better player on this issue. I would stay away from snipers vs t1. Almost everything in it is pretty effective against them. Even penals will tear them up at range. The sniper is very much a anti t2 unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German sniper survivability23 Oct 2013, 22:38 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Oct 2013, 18:20 PMNullist Why should it be the same vs small arms, when its one less model in the unit? Because there is no problem with the rate at which it dies to small arms and there is no reason to buff this aspect of the unit. It just needs a buff to the survivability against explosives. It would still camo better then the soviet sniper which adds to its survivability in a asymmetric way. If the unit was buffed without reducing armor he could be shot at for far too long without dieing and having one unit model does not counteract that problem. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German sniper survivability23 Oct 2013, 08:51 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2013, 12:27 PMBlovski Yep, low health means he gets sniped by all manner of things that shouldn't, SU-85s being a particular culprit. Going from 40 to 80 hp would be a big improvement imo, insulating him from near misses, while he'd still die to a precision strike or something. I've always been in favor of a health increase as long as they adjust the armor value so it's not harder to kill it with small arms. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Basic/standard build orders?23 Oct 2013, 08:34 AM For Soviets: 3 conscripts then molotovs. Then you usually want to make a choice of what to tech to or whether you want more conscripts. For Germans: 3 grens and an MG in any order. Then make a choice of what you will need based on what your opponent is doing(sniper if getting defensive, mortar if using buildings, more grens and whatnot). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is the big Russian Howie a bit too accurate ? 21 Oct 2013, 18:33 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2013, 10:05 AMOZtheWiZARD This howitzer is so ineffective it's a joke. Maybe somehow useful in 4v4? Not sure. It comes in a decent commander though. Except for this unit. Really? I love it. It just doesn't have much use in a 1v1. 2v2 and up it is great for countering heavy armor and wiping capping infantry. It's just a bit hard to use. Just try to keep your munitions up so you can have recon runs to help you find repairing tanks and defensive positions. In: COH2 Balance
