Thread: When Relic call that an anti-tank gun4 Nov 2021, 21:43 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2021, 21:31 PMGachiGasm If you are speaking about accuracy it cant solve this problem. I have no idea what mambo jambo should have been done with target sized and modifiers to ajust TD perfomance against. I can imagine what could have been done to LVs in order to make them less vulnerable, but I dont think that accuracy and target sizes alone can even slightly fix the issue of how TDs are effective against any other armored units in the game. Because to stay resonable, TDs chances to hit medium shouldn't be lover then 70% imo and considering that pretty much all scored hits will be penetrating one it would hardly make a difference, at best it will increase chances of medium escaping. Not to mention that even if TDs were nerfed and some perfect formula would have been found, people would have still used TDs just because you dont really have other options. Its either AT guns and TDs against anything heavier then medium. I am in the camp that when they fire they should hit reliably maybe not penetrate but they should be hitting. I personally think ROF should be attribute that ought to be tweaked. If everyone is making 2 AT guns then it makes it hard to react. Same with TD, 2 jacksons can autodelete a P4 fairly without any counterplay aside from smoke. Longer ROF by about 2 secs but increased pen to compensate. That way super heavies don't get to roam free. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Terror Tactics with LV skip4 Nov 2021, 21:32 PM Just saw Propaganda cast with Baoliang using my new favorite commander. He did a LV skip so I decided to try the same thing since I cant seem to get it to pay off consistently. I wrote in the comments I have been pushing this commander for about a month but he deleted my comment which is cool I guess. Going up against Ost so I decide to skip scout car and feel him out first. Find an mg, so I know where that is but then I see a 2nd MG a little later so I assume he did T1 skip but his commanders didn't have AssG. I make scout car rush an over aggressive MG decrew and cap. I chase the other one away and deal with his PG rush. We go back and forth with his PG doing fairly well but I am expecting more which he never makes. I get an Engi wipe and I also get Airborne LMG to beat him up from a safe distance. Since I decided to skip LV I first got T2 to get AT guns. My positioning isn't the best but I do good enough to scare him off. I was surprised at how fast the tank came due to his lack of map control but he did save a lot of MP so he could have put down caches. I eventually get up to T4 and have double AT ready for his pushes. He finally does and I blob him with double AT, KV8 and Inf support. I think I wipe a PG at the time and also throw him off his game plan. He doesn't seem to have any AT other than PG and P4 aint strong enough to reliably beat me up. He makes an Ostwind and pushes me with all tanks but my AT get him while stolen MG stop his PG shrek blob. I kill the Ostwind and get a SU85 out. Game is now in my hands, he seems to refuse to adjust his strat and I kill a P4 that got out of position and ran over mine. In his attempt to defend tank I also wipe 2 PG shrek squads and steal 2 shreks with penals. I continue to grind him down until he drops match. GG Game went fairly well overall, the tech skip let him get his tank out first despite lack of map control. I think with his surplus of MP he should have gotten out at least one more PG squad to wrestle map back from me. I was pretty happy with the army - 2 engi/3 Penals/1 LMG airborne/2 AT guns. 2nd AT gun would probably hit around the time of his P4 if he had teched normally. I also got lucky that I didn't make T70 because those shreks would have wrecked me. Thanks and if you watch let me know any improvements in strat. In: Replays
Thread: Can we revive Mechanized?4 Nov 2021, 12:59 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2021, 12:24 PMdidimegadudu even OKW mechanize sees rare play these days, i wish they would lower all units' pop by 1, there arent enough units compared to Sov at 100 pop If you are talking about OKW tech, that in no way shape or form help the tech choice. The main issue for 1v1 and 2v2 is the lack of Luchs lethality. It does great health damage but does not drop units with ok range. The Luchs needs to perform well enough to encourage the OKW player to forego base healing for muni based healing since lack of healing can lead to MP bleed which is what you are attempting to do to the enemy. I think any easy fix would to give it stock the 5 range it gets from Vet. That way it can provide a bit more bang for buck and allow it to chase down retreating units a bit better. A cost increase would probably be warranted to make it the same price as all the other LV tanks. As for POP, I think they should go the other way and increase POP for all units. The current Meta is pretty much to blob up units. 2AT guns, 2MG and so on. Increasing cap would make each unit more impactful and require more tactical use. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Was thinking about 2v2 Strats4 Nov 2021, 01:45 AM Sorry for 2 post didn't want to time out. The Axis Strat I had in mind focuses on pure aggression and CQC and requires OKW/OST. The okw player goes Feuersturm usual OKW opening 4 VG 2 upgraded with STG and 2 with MP40(mix can be whatever I was thinking this provides good coverage) into battlegroupe for base healing. The OST player goes for Assault Grens and MG obviously with T1 skip. The snares provided by VG along with cover denial while AssG spam sprint and force retreats as early and often as possible. MG covers important cutoffs or in well placed buildings. Since AssG don't upgrade until BP2 the saved muni could be spent on a FlameHT if opponents counter with team weapons or used for observation post to help with pushes and LEIG barrages. Opel used to keep assault troops in the fight while both players build AT to protect against AEC/Stuart/T70. The OKW player skips LV to rush out the Hetzer as fast as possible which can create some real problems due to its durability and timing. The OST player fits in PG when ever possible and goes T3 to get out P4J which can create match up issues for the Allies unless they picked a doctrine with upgunned tanks. IF really far ahead could skip T3 building and go T4 but I think it is a bad idea despite how fun it is to use Tiger ACE. The OKW rocket barrage protects against howitzers and emplacements. Probably a bit harder to pull off effectively but can create huge match up problems if opponent is unprepared. Also a similar Strat to the allies could be used with Osttrupen and assgrens with drop providing AT so that Assgren player can do tech skip and spam ASSG and PG for extreme inf wipe potential. You guys have any 2v2 or 3v3 strats you think would work. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Was thinking about 2v2 Strats4 Nov 2021, 01:22 AM Was thinking of different possible 2v2 Strats after watching a few 2v2 cast. Obviously these strats would require high coordination but seem to be fairly complimentary. The first one is probably the easiest since most people already do something similar. It requires 2 Soviet players 1 going for Soviet reserve while the other goes for Airborne but uses Penals instead of conscipts. Soviet reserve players plays typical conscript style while laying down sandbags wherever possible. The Airborne player will be able to save muni since Penals players tend to store them during early game which allows them to upgrade Soviet Army fairly quickly. This allows the early game Strength of Penals to keep snowballing into extremely efficient SVT conscripts. Around the same time the commissar will be hitting the field which allow control of most engagements due to fear propaganda and commi buffs. Due to the increased performance saving MP should come rather easy allowing for Supply Drop to be spammed to give the Penal player needed AT while sandbags help with positioning and conscript provide snares. The goal would be to T34 rush but that depends on game circumstances. Rapid conscription and Propaganda along with mines would be spammed by Soviet Reserve player due to muni float. Howi/PPSh would be situational, I suspect most players would counter with support weapons so Howi could be used instead of katy to save on micro. PPSH would be more for city maps but SVT would be the preferred upgrade regardless. The Airborne player would get AGuards most likely with LMG to keep with the theme of efficient trades but SMG guards could be used for cloaked sight. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OH hulldown / Vet1 KV-1 hulldown4 Nov 2021, 01:01 AM I don't really play 4v4 anymore but the Elefant being able to hulldown is dumb. Really high armor, high health + health reduction on top of range bonus is asking for rage quits. Just make the ability not apply to elefant and solves a lot. Panther being able to do it makes the ability worth while despite it being a pain to deal with. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger glitch: Shot with the main gun destroyed4 Nov 2021, 00:53 AM Que queeeeeeeee? I would have been pissed as shit if I saw that. The only thing I can think of was the game already predetermined the shot as fired it was just going through the animation. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Can we revive Mechanized?4 Nov 2021, 00:50 AM The Cavalry rifles at 0cp shouldn't even be considered a buff. It literally makes them part of the build just like every other assault unit that starts on cooldown. What about just giving the 76mm HE/AT shells like the regular Sherman but the AT has better stats. That way you play it the same way as a regular Sherman but better similar to the T3476 vs 85.

Thread: Terror tactics by mistake1 Nov 2021, 22:44 PM I lost a couple in row so I decided to go back to my more aggressive strats. At Cp2/3 I accidently picked Terror tactics so went with the T2 back tech. I didn't want to pick it in case he rushed tiger. Skipped clown car since I had a feeling he would go for fussies, opening fights went his way at first but once I got 3rd penal I got good decaps and decent cover positioning so we were trading fairly good I wanted to go for 120mm mortar in case he blobbed but picked terror so I quickly made Airborne and got LMG to counter fussies. I lost a Penal squad but he lost VG with STG so decent trade, we both get LV, I do a decent job avoiding his and not letting him do to much damage. Got AT gun out which made his Flak more passive, worked for me, replaced lost Penal with Airborne LMG so infantry fights are better suited my way but he does start to make Obers to counter. I get KV8 out and bully his infantry, sometimes tag teaming T70 with KV8 to get quick model kills. He eventually gets out panther but I have 2 at guns so I keep him at bay. Him going panther worked out well since I really start to rack up kills. I get Su85 which keeps his panther from diving and he gets a Tiger we keep prodding each other until I make a Katy. On first katy strike he rushes me with Tiger/P5 and smoke run I see it coming but dont react fast enough. He beats up Su85 and 1 of At gun which I quickly recrew, his panther tries to run away so I box it in with KV8 and kill it. His tiger makes it though. I have lost all vehicles except T70 so I feel like I still have a chance even though he has Tiger. I didn't lose any squads but I am pretty sure I got some wipes in the Chaos and killed his Flak so I can get back to bullying his Inf when tiger ain't there. Tiger is a beast though, get lots of kills and wipes a Penal squad but I do get out Su85 fairly quick so it stops him from overrunning me. I try to minimize bleed as much as possible to get KV8 back out, once I do back to bullying while recaping with T70. I have been getting decent amount of wipes on Obers(3 or more) so I pretty much have stronger inf force. He gets arty to wipe my AT but he never destroys it. I eventually get 2nd KV8 and after some switching between tanks to keep pressure up. I base rush him while he retreats Obers and get several wipes while attacking and killing Tiger with SU85 as it tried to protect base. GG Thanks for reading and hopefully you like the game.

Thread: Commissar: How do you use them?1 Nov 2021, 13:49 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2021, 19:13 PMDonnieChan in my opinion, when selecting this doc, your retreat button should be deactivated Would actually be fun to play like that, I feel it would be more appropriate when calling in commissar. If the Commissar unit dies the retreat button is reactivated until it get called back in. However the commissar buffs would either need a faster cool down or AOE so more units benefit to offset the retreat nerf. In: Red Army Strategies
