Thread: SNF Tiger Ace news30 Jan 2014, 20:56 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2014, 19:16 PMBravus Much of the cry about the tiger ace, from the sov's player's, is because is a big tank that not have killed by the artillery all the time... Because a lot of player's make that, spam artillery with infantry with poor strategy (only spam), to kill the weak's tank's easy, and make control of the map spamming units and deny resources! Artillery + Maxim + Cons spam's, call the tiger ace to kill this... One guy right now i win making kill death ratio of 149/63 and cry by the tiger ace in late game, they spam 6 artillery in the game, with maxim's and con's running all the map... They kill 63 and die 150... Is not the tiger ace that made this... Some players want kill easy and fast spamming artillery and cons or maxim's, that it, and work's... Not for the tiger! I could not read a single sentence of that. You really need to practice your english... In: COH2 Balance

See if any of you find this guy any more convincing. On Board Audio Info. I wish I could "like" posts or give thumbs up. I can't, so I'm just going to say that's one of the most informative things I've read about computer audio, an DAC's for a while. Thank you for that. In: Hardware and Tech

Thread: Building your own pc26 Jan 2014, 15:25 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2014, 15:18 PMCapacity_gear Sure phenom is old, that is correct, but this is a pc on a budget, old is fine as long as it performs. what is wrong with old? The bulldozer chips are not good,. this is fact, and the phenom chip out performs them in many ways. I've run the 955T BE and 1100T BE beside a FX8120 machine, apart from having more cores there was no increase in performance. They all use the same socket AM3/AM3+ too so i don't see how you would consider it OLD,.. maby just not as new. As for the temps i've had an I7 running beside the 1100T,. and the I7 was like a cooker, they are better chip but damn they use some power and chuck out some heat. As for the HDD,. my fault,. typo,. i meant 7200rpm, sorry to confuse you by getting one digit wrong. As for storage ive had 5400 back in the day,. still use 7200's for storage now, and a 10000 before ssd's came out, had good times with a OCZ vertex3 60gb,. but now ive moved to a OCZ 240gb x2 revo drive. Also tried 'ram-disk' software and made a partition for the page file on ram, also tried mounting a game completely on to the ram-disk partition to see if performance increased. However only certain games would show any real benefit from such things, i.e the lame ass arma2 engine by reducing texture 'pop' as it renders landscapes,. with coh2 you wouldn't see much difference expect for load times. PSU,. well if you've only bought one brand of PSU and always bought expensive units how can you be sure of your knowledge? Sure atm I'm running a OCZ thing, also had a corsair, some re branded thing (i forget name 'x' something), and even some ultra cheap in-house psu's from ARIA. What you say is correct,. if the PSU craps out on you it 'could' damage all your components, but have you had it happen? Hell ive made rigs from parts ive found in the dump and skips, ive yet to have a psu 'pop' on me (1 exception when i spilt a cup of tea on one, i recommend avoiding doing that) Now you all seem to be of the same opinion, and yet you all have different components in your rigs, the fact is you've all read the same articles on the net, this however produces fallacy's with what you believe to be fact, hell ive read the same articles. The difference is that I have always been on a budget and needed to get the best value for money, and i was lucky enough to need several machines for work (botting for real money trading in games), so i was able to have multiple machines running many different combinations of components, and the only way i could be sure was to buy and try everything in every combination i could afford, so i did. The only problem I have with you is your boner for Phenom. That's such an old, power hungry, hot platform. Its cute hearing you compare Intel to that relic. Their IPC's compared to Vishera/Piledriver are shit. Especially when overclocked side by side, yes they can both do 4.2 GHz but how much they do with 4.2 GHz is the difference. Its like Intel, they've been hitting 4.2 GHz since 2005 but now they can do 3x per cycle than the old Pentium 4 beasts. [/rant] In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Building your own pc26 Jan 2014, 14:57 PM Bulldozer sucks, Vishera/Piledriver is where its at. What I built for ~400 dollars and plays everything on ultra settings. I'm omitting my SSD and Case because there's so many to choose from and so many deals. Motherboard: Asrock 990FX Fatal1ty PROFESSIONAL or Killer - Can be had on ebay for ~80 dollars best AMD+ performance/dollar board. Very high quality VRM cooling 12+2/8+2 powerphases. Basically means it can handle any AM3+ processor you throw at it no problemo. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARDS. They are having some SERIOUS VRM cooling/Vdroop issues presumably for the next very long time. Also, TERRIBLE customer support. If you can upgrade to the 500-600 dollar price point I would highly suggest either an Asrock Extreme 9 or Asus ROG Crosshair Formula-Z for their overclocking ability. Storage: I'm using a 240GB SSD I got for 130 a couple of years ago, plus a 20TB Ubuntu Server NFS Share to store all my other shit. Your combinations and milage may vary. GPU: Sapphire GHz OC Edition 7870 - OC @ +25% everything max voltage CPU: AMD 6300+ - OC @ 4.8 GHz PSU: Offbrand 800 Watt PSU, got lots of good reviews and it was a 60 dollar shellshocker at the time. Can't go wrong with that I've had it for four years and its still chugging along. Allows for CFire in the future. RAM: A-Data XPG Gaming Series Ver 2.0 <-- these have HUGE heat sinks on them so be careful, but they overclock better than any RAM performance/dollar. That kid who suggested G.Skill Ripjaws is an idiot. 1600 MHz 9-9-9-16 is the industry standard right now for DDR3 you can pick up 8GB of that on ebay for like 40 bucks. If you're paying a premium it should be for the ability to overclock your ram to some retarded speed like 2133 MHz <-- now were cooking. Really that kid who said 16GB doesn't know his shit. You only really need 8GB especially unless you're too stupid to overclock like a fucking boss. Cooling: CPU Cooling: ARCTIC Freezer A30 Extreme, or any variant. There are two rip offs of this design. One is the Hyper 212 Evo, and the other is NZXT RC-RST40-01. They're all pretty much the same thing Case Cooling: I have a Corsair Graphite 600T Stormtrooper edition. Take your time and find the right case for you. There are hundreds of great cases to choose from. I suggest hardOCP as a place to look for Case Recommendations. Once everything is tweaked perfectly and your overclocking like a motherfuckin bauss you should be able to hang with the spoiled rotten daddy's favorite boy Intel i7 kids who dropped 2K on a computer they could have gotten for 1/4th the price. You aren't going to get a better set up than this per dollar/performance. I know there's lots of Intel/Nvidia fangirls, and there is also a lot of misinformation being spread about AMD processors and their future. As time goes on, lazy shitty developers will start to learn how to harness multiple threads for gaming. They have to. AMD now dominates the console-sphere. As these mainstream development teams take advantage of these cores; what this means for you is your gaming computer stays relevant for longer. Essentially its equivalent to having purchased a Haswell i5 in terms of lifetime expectancy from Vishera processors + market & technology trends without having to spend another 200 dollars. Intel be price gouging like motherfuckers with their locked multipliers and insane prices. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: How to use Pen(al)is Squad25 Jan 2014, 11:22 AM One squad nukes 2 tanks. If we had a couple more victory points I could have easily held them off. Just lots of good micro by me, and my teammate being punished by lots of bad RNG. We lose. Very quick game. The ending is the real money shot. In: Replays

Thread: Russian Anti Tank Rifle Blind Magic?13 Jan 2014, 11:50 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2014, 15:58 PMCardboard Tank Actually it´s still unrealistic. With a 20mm cannon or a high rate of fire MG you could achieve this. But definitely not with a DP and its small magazine. Will it disturb the crew? Of course, but nothing they can´t simply shrug off. 20mm guns however will make you bleed from your eyes and ears - but even that takes some time. Thus I also think the idea of guards buttoning tanks is bullshit, but it´s ingame already. So what can one do anyways? It´s silly to see a Panzer IV stop while guards sit directly on the road in front of them. Every sane Panzer IV driver would just knock those guys over. So then infinitely combat wise expert, what is to be done about German armor superiority? I'm willing to bet $$$ that you've never actually been shot at, let alone by a 30mm bullet, especially while inside of a tank. I'd ask you to delete your idiotic conjecture but I'll let it stand so everybody sees what an arm-chair tactician you are. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The tiger ace syndrome13 Jan 2014, 11:20 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2014, 21:23 PMGreeb I don't care if the commander is OP or not. It's just that I don't want to face a Tiger Ace every single game I play against a Elite Troops Commander player. And when I stopped playing the game, most axis players used that commander. It's kinda boring to know exactly what will happen in the game in the first minutes. I was tired of having to spam T34s and mines every single game just because my enemy had a free tank to use when the game was lost for him. That's not strategy. That unit has not planification, nor saving resources for a tactical call-in... it's just a free ticket to win a lost game if you pay for that commander. Relic said that no DLC will affect multiplayer, and that it wouldn't be P2W. They lied, and henceforth I won't play or buy another game of theirs. I prefer to support with my money developers that doesn't lie to their customers. Dude I feel you. I'm about to stop playing and tell every person I know to stop playing. I mean like active protest.
