Thread: OKW Infantry versus American Infantry(Rifles)31 Oct 2015, 21:35 PM Flack halftrack or Luchs are great for boosting anti infantry potential. The key to okw is using your vehicles to support your infantry. A little bit of suppression makes sturmpios a lot scarier because they can't be focused down. Or really if you need a crutch that badly, the doctrine with mg34 + fallschirmjaegers is a good choice. Falls are extremely high dps at all ranges and have great vet bonuses and an mg34 or two are a bit more reliable than a kubel wagon in the mid game. Honestly OKE struggles far more with good medium tank play than they do mass infantry. Good Sherman or M8a1 play is the real struggle unless you're damn well prepared for them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW alternative solution31 Oct 2015, 20:17 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2015, 18:56 PMRollo IS have 0 (zero) AT capability unlike rifles, grens or volks. You also need to invest like 300mp and 50+ fuel for all the upgrades to let them fight on an even playing field with axis infantry. Volks need a vet buff but IS are fine. PIATS. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW alternative solution31 Oct 2015, 18:40 PM I'm so glad nine of you are in charge of game balance. OKW is fine as it is. The last thing they need is to be homogenized. In: Lobby
Thread: A message to all tournament organizers 31 Oct 2015, 18:35 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2015, 17:41 PMKreatiir Crossing? Hell no. Road to Kharkov? Hell no. Better go for Minsk then. What's wrong with them? Minsk is far worse than either because of how congested the center of the map is. In: Lobby
Thread: A message to all tournament organizers 31 Oct 2015, 17:39 PM Arnhem is indeed an irritating map, but I wouldn't so much say it is allied favoured as it is infantry favoured. All the cutoffs and buildings are a wet dream for players that build a ton of infantry rather than players who use support weapons and light vehicles. Americans and Soviets have the easiest time due to their large amount of infantry, but a heavy grenadier/pio playstyle is equally annoying. I tend to prefer Toad to Kharkov, Crossing in the wood and Kholodny as far as 1v1 is concerned. In: Lobby
Thread: Your opinion about OKW31 Oct 2015, 16:12 PM OKW isn't quite the same as panzer elite. They're actually pretty unique fot CoH. Basically they're an elite faction. Save for volksgtenadiers and the raketenwerfer all their units are comparably stronger and have more utility than rival factions and all units have extra levels of vet which makes them a powerful late game faction. The downside is they receive less resources and are reliant on salvaging and resource conversion. I would consider them one of the harder factions in the game to play outside of team games where they can get carried to later tech. I would recommend waiting for a sale either around black Friday or Christmas. My sister snagged OKW for $3 last year. Could probably get all the factions for ~25 if you wait. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Is it just me or hmg.50 get really good?31 Oct 2015, 16:01 PM The received accuracy modifier was always a dumb change. .50 Cal has always been good though. It's neglected a lot but it can be really strong since most people don't expect suppression teams from Americans and aren't prepared. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Flame Hetzer Blows31 Oct 2015, 15:34 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2015, 08:29 AMHat Its fine. They just don't melt infantry as much. I can't see fighting a brit player without some flame vehicles. Excellent against bunkers and defenses. It's not even worth discussing with people here. I think once more people are on the receiving end they'll learn to respect the flame vehicles a little more. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Coh2 post patch performance31 Oct 2015, 13:44 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2015, 09:18 AMThoseDeafMutes i5 4670 and a 980ti and the game still lives on struggle street. Haven't tested but my intuition is that the frame pacing is much worse than the raw frame rates - my 980ti is theoretically demolishing this game but is still feels not-smooth with some regularity. And G-sync causes the game to crash as of the last like, 6 patches. Have to disable it for this game. Which just makes the frame-times even more of a hassle. Menu framerates and super-lag in the interface is laughable too. Gsync has been working fine for me. Sure it's not a bunk driver install or something? In: Lobby
Thread: Feuersturm Commander First Impressions 30 Oct 2015, 18:56 PM I've been having a lot of fun with it. Been going mechanized with lots of sturmpios. Focused on lots of munitions of course so mainly been relying on Puma and mines/schreck for AT while Hetzer chews all the infantry to death. Played a game against an American who is highly ranked in 4v4 but was trying to play a 1v1 exactly like a 4v4 by blobbing all his riflemen with upgrades. Got absolutely decimated by the hetzer. I've found the way to use it is to attack ground to paint the terrain and restrict movement of enemy squads. The only tough part of this doctrine is dealing with medium tanks. A Sherman is particularly scary. The key I think is to get a second puma after the hetzer rather than trying to go t4. In: OKW Strategies
