Thread: Grenades16 Sep 2013, 09:22 AM I always had the understanding that nades and flames were supposed to do more damage to units in cover. That's also how it worked in COH1. Units in houses are also in cover and grenades have larger effect there (though not sure it goes for Molotov). The logic is that a fragmentation is being concentrated in a (full or partially) closed space. As with all explosions, a closed space will increase pressure and cause ricochetting. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Which faction is best late game?16 Sep 2013, 09:13 AM The Ostheer is definately the stronger faction in the end game - in general, that is. Meaning, that if the soviet player follows a pretty narrow build pattern, namely aiming at SU85, it may be balanced. But if the soviet player does anything else, german tanks will win 2/3 of games with equal skills. WHat you may have to realise if you have a hard time making german armour work is, that they have a much more devastating effect if you use them in groups rather than send them in singlehandedly. A group of maybe 3 PzIV can break up soviet defenses. Use the advatage of rotating turrets against SU85. Be prepared to lose at least 1 panzer. Your aim is to wreck havoc on preparede defenses. Then you can move in with all the softer stuff and cap. 3 panzers may seem like much, but I see it in many 2v2 and other team games. So it's absolutely doable, but ofc. you need to do fuel caches and/or Opels. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Flanking is back!!!13 Sep 2013, 21:00 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2013, 17:40 PMmariens well mg had to be nerfed, but at this point i think relic overtried with it, and sometimes it leads to comical situations, where a engineer squad takes full burst into the face and doesnt get supressed Replay or it didn't happen.

Thread: @ Relic - Command Input Lag12 Sep 2013, 08:53 AM Relic, please! As you can see, this flaw is leading straight to domestic violence and divorces. You want babies to come, grow up and buy your games, right? So...for your own sake: Fix it! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Any friendly advice on Steam problem?12 Sep 2013, 08:46 AM Because the entire interface of Steam is only an amenity when there are no problems. As soon as something doesn't work, it's hell on earth. Firstly, you get no info what is wrong. Secondly, you get next to no advice on what the different options do (like validate cache) Thirdly, you can find no help for such problems in the help section. I'm angry at the growing use of Steam because it introduces an extra level of complexity and confusion for the average gamer. Not only do we need to understand the set up and hardware pitfalls of the client installation AND the requirements of the game. We also have to guess what some basically redundant platform for games is messing about with. Because let's face it: Steam isn't necessary to run any of these games. It's simply a commercial platform we have been forced into so they can make us do all kinds of after-sale purchases. In: Lobby
Thread: Flanking is back!!!11 Sep 2013, 21:40 PM It truely works much better now. There's much more flow in the early game and the maps can't just be locked down by 3 MGs. And I don't consider it a problem if OCCASIONALLY some rifle unit makes it through the line of fire. It should be a marginal chance, though, and I believe it is, 'cause I haven't seen it yet. I have only seen lots of units get stopped cold as usual. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Experiencing repeated connection problems11 Sep 2013, 21:35 PM I noticed that my search-pool was at an all-time high 130 players. I never had over 60 before today. Could have something to do with that? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Any friendly advice on Steam problem?11 Sep 2013, 19:19 PM Seems to be finally fixed. It appears that Steam somehow didn't want to patch because updates for Vista and AVG were available. I don't know wth that has got to do with anything, but after that it works. He who invented this shitty Steam should be Boiled! In: Lobby
