Thread: USF buff/Axis nerf thread.11 Sep 2015, 21:18 PM With that title and the "overbuff" list of things, i don't expect anything good coming from the thread. It has all the condiments for the usual flamewar. Some of the buff are debatable. List of nerfs nope. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Time to fix the Ostheer sniper problem11 Sep 2015, 21:09 PM -Give USF team-weapons 5 man. (IB4 Alex asking for OKW to get a 5th man) -Target tables on OH sniper vs IS. Increase cooldown/fire aim time/aim time multiplier so it takes the same time to clear a Rifle as to do so with an IS. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Which faction is the easiest to play as11 Sep 2015, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2015, 16:50 PMKeaper! Honestly OH is the most straight forward faction to play, in my humble opinion anyway. You have linear tech progression, readily available counters for most things an opponent can throw at you throughout the game, low-micro indirect fire weapons that are very powerful, durable armor, and very cost-effective and flexible infantry backbone. They are the faction I learned how to play the game with and I'd recommend the same to new players. Soviets are probably a close second, you still have a lot of counters available to you and the faction can be pretty forgiving. It may actually be the easiest come next patch with OH mortar nerf and the ninja gren bug/buff hopefully fixed, but I guess we'll see. No idea why you think OKW is easy to play. They have a lot of trade-offs and tough decisions they have to make throughout the game to be competitive, not to mention the dubious efficiency/cost ratio of a lot of units/call-ins. I guess they are easy in lower-level play where shreck blobs are effective and the flak truck can shut down 1/3 of the map, so maybe this is what you are seeing (no offense intended.) USF is by far the hardest imo, especially in its current state. You have paper infantry/armor that are very unforgiving to positional mistakes, tons of micro taxes, very few viable BOs (making USF very predictable,) and by far the worst late game out of any faction. EDIT: I haven't played the brits enough to have an opinion yet, so I can't really speak to their ease of use. Boom headshot! You nail it. There also the difference between early game/late game, 1v1/teamgames and low/high level. For 1v1 the match ups are important as well as map. If 1v1: OH/SU > USF/UKF > OKW. On a heavy UKF meta, OH rules it. Till the new patch arrives, the match up against USF is not as bad as it was on the past. Teamgames: OH/UKF/SU > OKW > USF Whenever it pair with any of the other 2 factions. In: Lobby

Thread: Pak40 to T1 - it's needed.10 Sep 2015, 18:17 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 16:27 PMiTzDusty Ost don't need a t0 AT gun when they are the only faction that has a t1 snare without the need to upgrade, research or get vet. Grens give ost enough stopgap till paks, it's fine how it is. 1+ Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 16:35 PMRifleman89 There is usually a zis on the field long before a 222 can arrive and btw, usually is because they know it counters the 222 specifically that is neede to REACT to their playstyle. Invalid point. Getting a faust off on a AAHT or WASP is neigh impossible. You're helping prove my point. the zis is available from the first building they can build. Why should it be so different for OH? Till the new patch arrives, you are either going T1 or T2, not both, into T3. You get a 222 as a counter to T1 nor T2. You get turbo mortar with HT to counter T2. 222 is more than enough against USF (specially LT M20) or UKF. By the time you fight an AAHT or flamer WASP you can field either a pak or a 222.

Thread: Brit units and abilities10 Sep 2015, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 07:56 AMJohnnyB Yes, bofors it's a pain in the ass. I haven't played 1v1 against brits yet, but from my 2v2s I can tell that mortar ht works wonders against emplacement and especially bofors. It's to bad you don't own spearhead, was a good doctrine in the past now it's simply excellent. You still have festung which comes by default and I strongly suggest you use it. There is no other way to quickly deal with bofors. I observed that the british players who trully know how to play are not relying on bofors, but 90% on mobile units. It's more efficient. Against a single Brit, you can force him into AEC with sniper into 222. If playing aggro, you can keep him out of building the Bofor with the 222. If it's a 90% abort at all cost. I've lost squads retreating before it was complete. Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2015, 09:20 AMNuclear Arbitor do not choose festung support/spearhead until you see an emplacement though, in case they don't go with those. soon as you see an emplacement, grab one and pop out a MHT and start burning stuff. even better if you wait until brace wears off and then hit it with fire (edit: assuming the patch goes through and it can't be braced all the time). I'll add that you should distract him before using the flame barrage. If you can force his attention in another place, you have higher chances of destroying it before he activates brace.
