Thread: Faction Rankings in 1v1 23 Nov 2019, 01:54 AM Reminder that this vote is solely asking for 1v1. SU > USF >= OKW > OH (it would be equal if UFS didn't exist) > > > UKF In: COH2 Balance

This is why equal DPS doesn't mean equal performance, even if both units were fighting at same amount of models. I'm not comparing Grens vs Volks. Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2019, 00:17 AMVIGNASH I meant in the early game, according to the time when coh2 was released, a 4-men Gren would lose to a 6-men cons at early game due to cons being more men, but at late game with incresed vet, a vet 3 grens would scale up to a 6-men cons and defeat at mid-long range battle. I am sure this was the original intention for grens and cons before other factions were released. That train departed too many years ago, the moment WFA was released. Cons won close range, Grens won long range. Then March deploy grens were made. Then it was reversed at some point. Scaling was never due to veterancy (they had mirror vet before WFA), it was solely because LMG42 or G43. The sole reason SU kept in check that, was with wiping capable units and abilities. You were forced to reset vet units with mines, demos, precision strike, artillery, ISU, etc. Or you could do like any other else which would either spam maxim or Guards to replace cons lost. Cons were just AT nade units (unless PPSH was OP at that specific time) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF absent from tourney play again22 Nov 2019, 21:49 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 19:00 PMdasheepeh my point was to show that ukf had more than 0 presence, not to contest the claim that UKF games usually ended in stomps with UKF on the receiving end I forgot, there was also the games from Tightrope against Ashaboi (rank 1 UKF). I was asking just to see all games UKF was present. And yeah, the claim of 0 is disingenuous as saying that OH was not present at all. Even if you account for 3 vs 2 factions. Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 20:06 PMKatitof Let me remind you that sappers were nerfed very hard since release specifically because they have performed that CQC role. But that was when tommies were strong and so were brens. The problem is that it was not a "strong" CQC unit but a spammable CHEAP 2x weapon carrier. It was rear echelon spam 2.0 Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 20:36 PMgeneral_gawain As I said already: The main reason we can't balance UKF is the existence of commanders that heavily buff emplacements (Advanced Emplacements Commander) or make emplacements obsolete (if you ever used Firestorm Doctrine with the Fire Barrage for LEIG you know what I'm talking about). Those commanders shouldn't exist when we have a faction, that relies on emplacements to fill some of their important battlefield fighting spots. And that's the problem. Relying on emplacement as a design philosophy. This only further limits the available number of units to be produced, specially in 1v1. In: COH2 Balance

The difference of 0.017 is meaningless when you consider that each model has 80 HP. It should be slightly less as well due to damage profile of the Volks rifle. It's the same thing which happened to the IS when they went from 16dmg rifles to 14dmg. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF absent from tourney play again22 Nov 2019, 12:52 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 10:26 AMKhan The finals and semi-finals featured 2 games as Ostheer and 18 as OKW. Go figure. I'm not comparing both, lol. If you think UKF has issues because of its absence form tourney play, then the Ostheer also qualifies. 15 OKW games (if the OH number are correct, spoilers ) The thing is i think i saw way more OH play in previous rounds while the presence of UKF was anecdotic. The difference between hungry and famine. Or been niche and non competitive. Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 12:00 PMSturmTigerVorgo snip Reminder that ranks between factions are not equivalent outside top100. You should look at level, which is a slightly better estimation of skill. Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 11:38 AMdasheepeh see barton's and aimstrong's games Where? There are only 2 games in Stormless, Tightrope, AE on YT. Spoilers: from those, Bartons game was a "stomp" by Hans as OH (barely losing VPs, although a longer game). Aimstrong vs CC, Aims basically stomped first 2 games (less than 20 vp lost) and the last he made a comeback with OH. PD: i found another game from Aimstrong vs Luvnest on Twitch. Didn't go well for UKF. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New features in coh3 request/discussion 22 Nov 2019, 11:47 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 11:34 AMVipper Not sure what different it would make adding an extra part to hitbox so now instead of 2 parts one could have 3. The mechanism remains the same, only now instead of just front and rear hit one has also added mid hit (side armor.) "It does, when the only factor that matters right now, is the location at which the shell impacts on the hitbox." If the game was in 2D and shells impact with the first part of the tank they SHOULD met, there wouldn't be an issue. In the current game/engine, you will be increasing problems on expectatives (as you would be both reducing frontal and rear armor hitboxes to add side armor) as it would be more evident the problems the game has with ballistics. A tank facing another one frontally in a roughly 90° cone vision, should never use any other value to tank penetration other than frontal armor. In the current game, even with a split of 50/50 we still have cases of getting rear shots. In: Lobby
Thread: New features in coh3 request/discussion 22 Nov 2019, 11:25 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 09:44 AMVipper I don't think that side armor does require the relative position of weapon and target. One can simply separate the hit box in 3 parts, front mid back. Angle of attack is separate feature. It does, when the only factor that matters right now, is the location at which the shell impacts on the hitbox. More so when we had 2 factors into account, scatter and accuracy shots been (probably) centered towards the middle of the target. The benefit of the current system is that its simple and straightforward to implement and understand. The issues which arise are that even with perfect positioning, you can have unwanted results due to scatter, elevation and hitboxes. The point of adding side armor should be to further improve the game and reward players for better positioning. In the current system, it would add a further layer which would indeed incentivase flanks but would also randomly punish players even more. I should clarify, that my vision on angling for CoH, would be simple to determine what type of armor value (front, side, rear) should the shell use if it hits a vehicle disregarding which part it actually hits. It would roughly be a 120° split for each one (probably a bit more favoured towards the front than the sides). In: Lobby
Thread: New features in coh3 request/discussion 22 Nov 2019, 09:44 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 09:08 AMSander93 I disagree entirely, as it would increase the area in which a flanking vehicle can reliably hit weaker armor from ~30-40% to ~60-75%, making dives significantly less risky and making armor/penetration values and match-ups across all classes more balanced. Obviously the game would have to be designed with side armor mechanics in mind, with maps and mechanics accommodating ways to get in side shots easier. I've played both Wargame and CoH2 on a very high level, and I'm convinced adding side armor to the CoH franchise would be nothing but a huge improvement, as it would make balancing a lot easier, help make a lot of different strategies more viable, help reduce the influence of RNG, and help raise the skill ceiling. As i said, i consider it a possibility, but the implementation should mean that how the game approach armor vs penetration should be different. I based my response on how the game has been built in both versions of the CoH. I see it feasible to implement side armor at the moment on CoH2, but that would only apply to specific vehicles.

Thread: "Post contains" filter doesn't work22 Nov 2019, 09:06 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2019, 17:33 PMJibberJabberJobber Is it just me or does this feature not work? If I go to Profile -> Show latest posts -> Type keyword in "post contains" -> Click filter (or press enter), it just minimizes the latest posts section and nothing happens. Makes it hard to search for old posts from myself or other users. It works for my own posts. For other users i have a workaround: https://www.coh2.org/user/15177/derbyhat?search_content=WHATEVER The filter also only works with specific order on the word search as if it was a "search this specific phrase" search in google by using "". So you need to use mostly single word. In: Site Feedback
