Thread: Main Reason CoH2 Less Competitive than Original26 Aug 2013, 23:05 PM I agree that the vehicle path finding and the infantry AI is just terrible. Save that shit for the single player campaign. We should all be very happy to give up a bit of artificial realism for more responsive and accurate controls. Almost all the other RTS games have smoother vehicle path finding because they allow for a bit of "cheating" such as clipping through obstacles and power-sliding to the side. This is a good thing because it makes everything feel fast and smooth. The infantry behavior in DOW2 was very accurate and good, as someone mentioned above, and should be implemented in COH2 as well.

Thread: SU-85; The Thread25 Aug 2013, 10:41 AM SU85s are not OP at all in 1on1s now. Of course units with longer range are more effective in team games where everyone gets Elephants and ISUs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soviet early game solutions24 Aug 2013, 01:10 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2013, 00:50 AMNullist What exactly are you specifically suggesting should be changed on MG42? The devs mentioned creating a damage received modifier so that they take more damage from small arms while remaining robust against snipers and explosives. This would reward flanking a bit more. It seems pretty reasonable. However, I believe conscripts need a small buff on top of this. Possibly make Molotov research cheaper or throw faster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soviet early game solutions24 Aug 2013, 00:47 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2013, 00:19 AMNullist Yes, its called asymmetric balance. MG42 already has only 3/4 the survival of Maxims. What exactly are you specifically suggesting should be changed on MG42? (PS: 42 total 1v1s played is not really much for balance discussion either, bro) I'm not sure if you play Soviets, but you can't really commit to M3s because ACs usually come out within a minute of the first M3. Guards counter the ACs, but those same MG42s also owns guards. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soviet early game solutions23 Aug 2013, 23:09 PM MG42s need a major nerf. I don't think free molotovs/at nades are the answer though. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Dodging satchel charges??23 Aug 2013, 00:27 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2013, 00:23 AMHissy Firstly, that is my explanation. If a Penal squad has double the DPM of a Grenadier squad then those Penals should of won especially as by the time the Penal was stationary it had five men still alive. It took no fire from the second squad during the engagement. "Critical Hits" are when a man dies from being hit by all the Grenadier Rifles at once, call it luck of the dice or whatever it's basically the same thing. Let's not forget Penals cost 360 Manpower, that's 50% more than a Grenadier costs. Relax dude. I don't think anyone is claiming that Penals are good for their cost. They clearly are not, which is why no one uses them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What would you change/add (if anything)?22 Aug 2013, 18:13 PM Nerf to MG42s. Buff to all AT guns. Give conscripts some upgrade option to allow scaling to mid game. Nerf flame weapons against retreating units. Undo AT nade and Faust change. It should be 100% engine damage. EDIT: whoops, this thread is about coh1. In: COH Central
Thread: Do you think ScoutCar is OP now?22 Aug 2013, 10:04 AM It's probably well balanced at the average skill level. However, it has a somewhat high skill ceiling that just rewards good players far more than it ought to. In high skill level matches, the only real counter to AC are mines (which of course partly comes down to luck). It's just way too cheap for how good it is. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: My opinion on the units post patch.22 Aug 2013, 03:59 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2013, 02:38 AMEkko Tek Yeah I don't agree with a lot of the "useless" statements. There are no useless units and surprise builds have an effect on their own. But maybe it's better to say "overperforming" and "underperforming" or "easy to use" and "harder to use". It's definitely more nuanced than "useless". I see a lot of high level players build Paks and Shock Troops. I don't understand how anyone could classify the T70 as "useless". Its more about the timing window things can appear in and building them at the right time and whether they fit with what else is going on. +1 Most units are pretty useful. But some are useful in more situations. In: COH2 Balance
