Thread: That Dodge8 Aug 2014, 22:22 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2014, 20:01 PMPart time commie With this he'll sacrifice firepower and capping power. How are either of those being sacrificed? It should be a 1 CP unit, imo. 0CP units are the shittiest part of this game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Generally lackluster commanders8 Aug 2014, 02:26 AM I actually really like Recon. Vision is a powerful thing to have, and the super pathfinders and M8 are really solid. I haven't tried the airborne drop, but I could see it being useful in certain circumstances. I think Americans have a really nice assortment of doctrine options. They all are fairly distinct, but also useful. Wehrmacht and Soviets both have a lot of "similar" doctrines that really blur together. In: US Forces Strategies

Right now they're just used as uber mines. I think you'd still see some usage on buildings, but you wouldn't see this "Plant them in craters to gib squads" bullshit. I still like them for OKW trucks as well. The airborne timed democharge is great for doing a ton of damage to those. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: TIL that retreat is the same hotkey as de-crew vehicle...7 Aug 2014, 23:05 PM It'd be nice if Relic finally implemented a proper keybinding system. As it stands, key binds are defined in the ability file which is just silly. DoW2 had a .cfg file you could edit to change keys, but that was still way more clunky than a proper interface. In: Lobby
Thread: Suggestion: Attach Call-ins to Buildings/Tier again.7 Aug 2014, 01:20 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 14:22 PMKatitof It greatly limited possible BOs and therefore led to a stale, boring, predictable meta. It's one thing to have interesting teching options (SEE: USF) and it's another to have people skipping tech and still being competitive. As Soviets you don't even need to build fucking t3/t4 AT ALL to remain viable. They have enough doctrinal tank options that you can have strong vehicles on the field without even investing in tech. You don't even need to spend any fuel (Maybe an M3? and t2) to fucking do it. Wehrmacht spends more fuel teching to t fucking 2 than Soviets have to spend before they can shit out tanks. (Meanwhile Wehr has to tech up and purchase units) Americans have similar issues with armour company, but atleast those tanks have pronounced weaknesses. M10 has paper thin armour and the bulldozer sherman is lackluster vs moving vehicular targets. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Suggestion: Attach Call-ins to Buildings/Tier again.7 Aug 2014, 01:09 AM All of them. I'm real damn tired of t-34/85's popping out in place of t3/t4 buildings + one tank at most. Better yet, bring back the whole "Doctirne units have to be produced at a structure". This would mean Shocktroops/guard rifles being produced in t1, Heavy mortar/ DHSK being produced in t2 etc. You could of course tie some units to only require t0 (Like partisans) but honestly I'm real fucking tired of doctrines providing a well rounded arsenal and letting people ignore tech. Soviets are the worse for this because some of their best units are doctrinal. You can go heavy on t2 weapons crews and then shit out shock troops giving you a stupid strong force. And then by doing this, you could tweak the INSANE costs of those super heavy units because they would require tech investment to field. You could actually make them affordable. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Recon Support Company5 Aug 2014, 22:01 PM I&R pathfinders are pretty solid. The artillery barrage is laser specific, which makes it great for squad wipes. Greyhound is a beefed up m20, near as I can tell. It's nice because you can skip lieutenant then bust out a greyhound alongside something in captain tech. Vision is always useful. One of my favourite "generic" doctrines. It's the kind of thing to get alongside a vehicle centric army since it doesn't require much investment in infantry but gives them a decent boost all around. And there's nothing better for countering weapons crews/buildings than I&R pathfinder barrage. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Soft anti blob needed? How CoH handles small arms and blobs.5 Aug 2014, 22:00 PM If your opponent is blobbing, he's extremely vulnerable to suppression, indirect fire, Aoe attacks (flamers, flak guns) and all that bullshit. Adding a penalty for putting units near each other is the scrubbiest thing this side of scrubsville. Late game blobs are tough, but you have more potent weapons to counter them. Offmap artillery, onmap artillery (Stuka/Katyusha/Panzerwerfer) and heavy tanks with huge aoe attacks. (Brummbarr, sturmtiger, IS-2, Sherma/m8a1) In: COH2 Balance
