It's entirely a L2P issue. Brits got AEC, which hard counters Luchs really hard. PIATs are also pretty good if you can use attack ground. Bofors does quite a bit of damage to it too, moreso to rear armour though. In: COH2 Gameplay

If your AT gun is not in the exact right position the Luchs blows by. That's why you have mines/infantry AT. Don't get me wrong, I hate a 6 minute luchs as much as anybody, but it's quite counterable. What's scarier to me is the 6.2 minute Puma that absolutely decimates any allied light vehicle play without a ton of supporting units. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW OP?4 Dec 2015, 02:10 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2015, 01:46 AMImagelessbean This is true, but the ability to reposition a demo charge whenever you want to is quite powerful. Certainly, but you could just as easily spin it as "A goliath that can turn invisible but can't move is quite powerful". Pros and cons and all that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December Update4 Dec 2015, 01:38 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2015, 21:12 PMBurts early luchs litterally rapes everything with no counterplay Literally every allied faction can have an AT gun on the field before a luchs can come out. Americans and UKF both have AT upgrades for their infantry as well. Brits can get AEC before Luchs. America can get M20 mines before Luchs. Soviets are the weakest against it, but between AT grenades, mines, AT gun and eventually an SU76 I think they can handle it pretty well. Not saying it isn't strong, but the whole "waah no counterplay" is wrong.

Right now people are freaking out without digesting the changes and learning how to play against the new OKW. All their unit timings are different, it's going to take some getting used to before we can look at it more objectively. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: First impressions about the future OKW rework4 Dec 2015, 01:34 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2015, 16:03 PMRottenJeeves I see a ton of posts about how early armor will arrive on the battlefield. I can tell with experimenting with the mod even with full map control against a stupid AI I did not see armor come in as early as people are stating. I think people are taking it a little out of proportion. Give it a month or so for the meta to settle and people will probably be complaining about something else. The mod massively altered the tech costs over the last few weeks. I had a 4 minute luchs pretty reliably before. In: OKW Strategies

Thread: Weapon racks for Germans or remove them completely?3 Dec 2015, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2015, 20:47 PMelchino7 I'm not saying we are not in mostly a fine state but you can't just ignore what we have endure. -FHT meta or how hitting vet2 suddenly double HP -ISU vs Elephant meta -First week of Osstruppen and AssGrens -TA, Windustry and other attrocities. -Clowncar sniper -T70 with crush -Double damage Katyushas And many more. Minor balance problems that mostly worked because they were fresh and new and people didn't know how to deal with them yet? (RIP clowncar sniper, you will be missed.) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Weapon racks for Germans or remove them completely?3 Dec 2015, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2015, 20:16 PMAustralian Magic And what about CoH2? 2 years, still so many balance issues. Honestly? CoH2 is pretty well balanced. If you've ever played a really imbalanced game before (Most EALA RTS games at some point) or even some of Relic's older games (DoW2 prior to TIOW patch, CoH1, Dark Crusade/Soulstorm etc) the balance issues here are really, really minor and don't really effect game outcome. I remember in Red Alert 3 for a long time all allies had to do to beat Empire was build a cyrocopter, an interceptor and a vindicator or two and there was absolutely nothing that empire could do to beat it. (other than suicidially rush the allied base with proxy barracks, which didn't work against better players) They would freeze your units/buildings and instantly kill them with one vindicator rocket. If you tried to use Tengue to transform into a plane unit, they lost 2-1 to the interceptor and he could safely pump those out faster than you could get tengu to counter him. Literally every game you played with these two factions in it played out like this. I remember in BFME2 that rohirrim with theoden could charge down an army of upgraded pikemen (their supposed hard counter) and literally trample them to death. (Keep in mind, trampling pikeman would be the equivalent to infantry running through an s mine field) Even with Dwarven pikeman (most hitpoints, best armour) you couldn't kill them, and rohirrim trampling units other than pikeman killed them outright. (They were also the best cavalry unit, so they won any fights between the two especially with theoden which had massive AoE buffs.) I remember vanilla Tyranids being able to attack move and kill anything that came near while their disposable capping squad capped the whole map simply by building warrior broods and a hive tyrant with venom cannon. Nothing in Coh2's history even approaches these sorts of massive balance issues that other games in the genre have had. It's Relic's most balanced game by far at this point in its life.
