Thread: Soviet Industry needs to be nerfed.11 Feb 2014, 18:43 PM Soviet industry is still OP. Still the strongest Soviet doctrine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: North Langres11 Feb 2014, 01:32 AM I would go either quick mortar HT or T2 for reinforcement HT (don't upgrade with flamer). Also, get multiple mortars to force them to make a mistake and lose their snipers. Rifle grenades own Guards really hard. So do mortars. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergrens10 Feb 2014, 06:52 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2014, 22:25 PMwooof shocks come out sooner than pgs, especially vet pgs. vetting a pg also makes it cost more than a shock squad, not to mention the fact you have to tech. also, shocks reinforce cost is cheaper than pgs and each entity is more durable... Vetting a PG costs more, but only up front. Reinforcement cost does NOT increase. The reinforcement cost is per model. A vet2 PGren model is more expensive than a Vet0 shock model, but is FAR stronger per model. This is why buying Vet is OP. My point is that: if people consider Shocks to be OP, they should consider purchasable vet to be even more OP. I personally don't think Shocks nor PGrens are OP. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Panzergrens9 Feb 2014, 22:14 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2014, 21:29 PMSarantini Here is some quick testing: http://www.twitch.tv/sarantini/b/502117617 It's all in no cover and at ranges where cover gets ignored anyway I think Shocks have higher DPS when moving but in this test they are standing still. Results: 0:56 Vet0 PG vs Vet0 Shocks = easy win for shocks 1:56 Vet2 PG vs Vet0 Shocks = equal, both died at the same time 3:07 & 6:00 Vet 3 PG vs Vet2 Shocks = PG wins but is very hurt It needs more testing for better and more consistent results obviously and i forgot the hotkeys most of the time Thanks for doing a few tests. HOWEVER, you spawn the shocks right on top of the PGrens, then you proceeded to move the PGrens around for some reason which caused the PGrens not to fire for a bit in the first crucial moments. You should have it so that PGrens are standing still while Shocks charge them from afar, because this is the most realistic game scenario. Since PGrens are far superior at long range, realistically it will always be the Shocks that charge into close range, not the PGrens. From what I can see in that video, I can almost guarantee that vet2 PGens will beat Vet0 Shocks with ease. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergrens9 Feb 2014, 20:29 PM I would like to see Vet2 PGrens vs Vet0 Shocks. I'm willing to guess that the PGrens will win easily, which is pretty stupidly OP. You can vet the PGrens to Vet2 for a stupidly small amount of fuel, and yet their reinforcement costs stay the same. This means PGrens become far far more cost effective than Shocks over the course of a few engagements. It just goes to show how ridiculously OP purchasable vet is for the elite troops doctrine.

Thread: sniper / guards rifle7 Feb 2014, 22:27 PM Ostruppen are definitely a great counter to snipers. They are so cheap that it's a complete waste of time trying to snipe them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Blitzkrieg Needs to Overheat 7 Feb 2014, 09:13 AM I do also think it's a bit too good, but there are bigger concerns to be addressed. I wouldn't mind if the duration is halved, as it lasts too long. Or if the speed boost is reduced, that would be fine as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stug III vet3 armor (video)6 Feb 2014, 20:28 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2014, 19:58 PMspaz So can you use attack ground on your tank that is front facing a target tank (similar to that sherman to the left of the tiger) to get rear armor shot or does your tank automatically target for the rear of the other tank if the shot is possible? This game has shot collision, so even if you target the rear, the shot will hit the front first if the other tank is facing directly towards your tank. However, if the other tank has his side exposed, it is possible to manually aim with attack ground the rear portion of that tank to get a rear hit. However, this is probably not a good idea, since tanks have a scatter so they aren't that accurate with attack ground. And no, this game is not smart enough to target rear armor on its own.

Thread: Stug III vet3 armor (video)6 Feb 2014, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2014, 11:05 AMslother If rear/front armor works same way like in vcoh, it felt more like a lucky frontal shot than rear. In my opinion stug deserve a hp buff or cost decrease + range increase with rotation speed nerf. A shot from the front that hits the rear 1/2 of the tank still counts as a "rear" hit in the COH engine. In: COH2 Balance
