Thread: SU v OKW pfus and volk blob-what can I do?9 Oct 2015, 18:52 PM Suppression is always important vs huge infantry armies. Bleeding man power is also important. A sniper us a good asset here. If you bleed him well he will have a hard time reinforcing in the later stages of the game. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: T34 ramming ability useful in any way?9 Oct 2015, 18:06 PM I find another use for it is to bait my opponent. They'll get aggressive when they thibk they can get an easy vehicle kill. Great way to bait an opponent into staying too long in an engagement and letting you mop up his vehicles with at guns and other supportung tanks. In: Red Army Strategies

Thread: Improving Coldtech9 Oct 2015, 16:43 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2015, 02:18 AMturbotortoise I do love the stawmanning of: no actually, these players that wanted cold tech gone just didn't get it, didn't exploit the environment for all it's tactical nuance, and are thusly atrocious at the game, when A. it is pragmatically not actually nuanced at all, and B. it was boring. Why do you just outright dismiss our our argument that we found how it grinded games to a sputtering halt faster than a CAS strafe, pinning our army, incredibly boring? That is the most damning thing one could say during a critique of a computer game, it was boring. Because if blizzards slowed your game down to a crawl you clearly didn't understand the cold tech mechanics. Passive play during blizzards is an issue with the players, not the mechanics. It's not a strawman when multiple people keep revealing that they didn't get it by saying their response to blizzards was to hunker down. It's a very passive playstyle, but blizzards rewarded proactive play tenfold. Moreover, if ypur complaints are the game was too slow why did people petition for thngs like more expensive tech costs and slower vp bleed? It was a much faster game before the vCoH crowd convinced Relic to neuter it. You didn't have the option of turtling because you'd be way down on VP's. As it is now if you hold one vp and one fuel for the entire game you're guaranteed a king tiger, regardless of what your opponent's larger map presence and vp drain. This is by the by why competitive play is obsessed with squad wipes. Map control means dick in this game as long as you have fuel. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mirror USF at gun with UKF 6 pounder 9 Oct 2015, 02:06 AM Honestly for its effectiveness the 6lber really should be 320 mp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Elite Infantry and some other Issues9 Oct 2015, 00:04 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Oct 2015, 23:55 PMOmega_Warrior Wouldn't it just be easier. To speed up the vet rates of certain units without redoing the entire vet system. Seems like that would make it a lot easier to control from a balance perspective instead of taking a hammer to the whole vet system and chancing screwing up the whole balance. No, Even vet 0 these guys perform at the appropriate point. And their vet bonuses are also much stronger generally to compensate for how long a game has to be for them to see higher levels of vet.

Thread: Next patch sneak peak by Relic8 Oct 2015, 23:28 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2015, 19:51 PMhannibalbarcajr KV-8 will still be viable as long as they just tweak it. The only thing needs to be changed is slower flame DPS. It's got good armor, Health and good mobility for its size but it wipes Pak guns so fast you don't even need to bother with flanking or smoke just drive up and they are fried in 2 seconds. A single pak will always die to a KV-8 unless its damage is nerfed to be on par with pioneers. It has heavy enough armour, speed and range to simply continue to attack it if the pak tries to move away. Whether it takes 2 seconds or 4 seconds makes no difference. To prevent this it's often wise to build mines or strictly overwhelm him with multiple AT guns. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW Elite Infantry and some other Issues8 Oct 2015, 23:25 PM Vetting up is mostly about doing damage. Falls and Obers are both quite capable of doing it, and you're not going to see a vet 3 squad facing off against obers unless the obers are coming out super super late game. (In which case you're probably taking too long to tech.) I think they're fine at the moment. There's plenty of playstyles with OKW, it just requires you to get outside your comfort zone slightly.

Don't they already have this? They have a smoke grenade that gives light cover bonus. In: COH2 Balance
