Thread: Ask the Strategist!20 Oct 2013, 07:57 AM If all ressources on a balanced map were equally divided between the two factions, who would have a comparative advantage in early, mid and late game? In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Soviet strategy on semois19 Oct 2013, 23:30 PM The problem with Semoskiy is that the german player does not need many MGs to lock the early game pretty solid. 2 is usualy enough. And getting those MGs defeated in buildings just by molotovs is very expensive. You'll lose around 4 squad members for each 1 or 2 the MG42 loses. The economy of that strategy is really bad even if yuou do correct flanking and draw fire. Apart from M3/flamer, I don't see any options in the early game unless you can draw fire to a unit that is also in a building. But that's so situational you can't build a strategy on it. Mid game is a different situation all together. For example the 120 mm mortar is excellent at it. The only problem is, that if you have ony strated routing out MGs in the middle game, the german player will have been sitting on a lot of ressources for a long time. Sniping is generally ineffective, but did anyone try to use 2 snipers as a strategy. They might just cut it? It's expensive as hell, but OTOH if that dislodges the MG locked down parts of the map, it would be worth it. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression19 Oct 2013, 23:14 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 15:04 PMMetaStable14 Flanking is the hard counter to the mg42. Why do you feel that you need a mindless no skill unit that can take out an mg42? If it doesn't take suppression, it'll stay in the line of fire and die. Do you have any problem sacrificing a 240 MP unit to kill a 360? I'd take that trade any day. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is Relic taking action against drophackers in coh2?18 Oct 2013, 11:49 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2013, 20:19 PMAbdul Thanks for sharing. I noticed this too, and for some reason when I play against players from China my name shows up for kick instead of them. Meaning you get to kick yourself, or what? I see a different version: The notification about the option to kick someone (or abstain) contains garbled text where the player name should stand. That means it's pretty much impossible to see who you might be kicking. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Turbo charged arms race18 Oct 2013, 11:45 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 09:13 AMcomputerheat I just want to point out that the MG42 has an anti-armor ability, Incendiary Armor Piercing Rounds. I don't know how effective it is against anything bigger than a T-70, but it does already exist! The only problem with it is, that it was given to the german side. It should have been the soviets. The germans rarely need it, but the soviets all the time. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression18 Oct 2013, 11:42 AM Despite the suffering of the penals in its current state, I cannot support this suggestion. No infantry unit should be immune to suppression. It just doesn't make sense. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: CoH2 Replay Analyzer17 Oct 2013, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2013, 23:26 PMpingtoft That is very possible that the maps are mirrored or rotated - I did not do much testing on that. Please, tell me the map name and the orientation you think it should have and I'll fix it. As I see it now, it's a general error on all maps. Here's an example from a 2v2 I just finished. The left most part of my footprints should point at the usual base at the left (both players start app where the 1v1 base is too). Still, with a 45 degree turn, my path would not fit. If you look at the north part of my cloud, there's a bulge in it. That's from flanking behind the house that overlooks the southern cut-off point. I think this means that the footprint is mirrored. It would fit if it was mirrored on a horizontal line in the center. In: News
Thread: An essay on Soviets and a radical proposal16 Oct 2013, 21:37 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2013, 20:36 PMsluzbenik But the design of Soviets means you need above average micro to beat someone with average micro, and you'll still need to pull a rabbit out of your hat to put in the final blow (usually a commander item). Whereas I think many Ostheer players don't even feel they NEED their commander abilities and they're kind of like icing on the cake. A Tiger is great, but enough 3 PZiVs will do fine as well. Contrast that to Soviets who will just not win with any combination of T-34s and SU-85s once enough LMGs have been upgraded and shrek-wielding panzergrens are on the field. This is my experience also and my micro is quite mediocre. I can work in my sweat to try and pull off a victory as SU. When I switch to german side, I can have breakfast or lunch as I play and still win. That just doesn't feel right. I'm all for having two diverse factions, but the overall difficulty of playing them should be about the same IMO. In: COH2 Balance
