Thread: USA - Weaksauce late game?21 Jul 2014, 18:01 PM Serious question here. In team games, what is to stop the US from building 4 shermans and just barreling though the front lines against the OKW? In my experience that seems to work pretty well for the US. So as a US player, what would you see from OKW that would stop you from making that big push? I don't see how a KT or JadgT are going to deter you much. Just circle them and pick them apart. Mines could be a concern, but with the muni starved OKW it is tough to invest in them enough to really cover yourself. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So when do US terminator units get a nerf?21 Jul 2014, 05:20 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2014, 04:10 AMThoseDeafMutes 1919 might need slight nerf. Rifle company starting vet needs a look at. Everything else is an exaggeration. And to whomever said Americans are OP in team games, that's got me cackling like a madman. USF are the weakest faction in 2v2 gaem modes and above. Here is why I think so in team games. They cover some of the Soviet weakness with their blobs. Then both Soviets and USA just go to med tank spam. It is simply too many targets for a OKW player to handle. Without some reliable AT you easily get swarmed. The only thing I haven't tried is like 5+ Rocket guns. But AT guns alone will never be enough to stop the tank swarming. They are are support weapons. Without a real tank to slow the advance you simply can't hang in the spam. Panthers are too expensive. You get one by the time they have 4 t34's or 4 shermans. I've tried the JagdP in the past, and didn't like it. People speak favorably here on the forums, so I am going to give it another go. I am going to have to try and build 2-3 of them and see if they can combat the spam. So long as I don't build any other buildings but the medic tent, I might have enough fuel. Flanking is probably going to be the doom of that test... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So when do US terminator units get a nerf?21 Jul 2014, 01:49 AM The first problem is that OKW have no viable infantry CC. The Kubel is totally worthless. I have used it in 100% of my games since the expansion was released and I finally think I am ready to give up. It will reliably chase off the first infantry unit it meets early game. Then after that first engagement it will face 2+ units and it will die to them or it will have to retreat. I am fine with it being weak, but it needs 50% range increase at least. I don't know what role it is supposed to have, but it certainly doesn't do it. Having fewer units as OKW due to reduced income just means you get swarmed by infantry. The second major problem is you have no AT until the panther. The Rocket guns are decent, but they are not enough to threaten more than a single tank. You will need shrecks and dual rocket guns to take out a single T34 for example. Most time though the T34 will just run away due to the lack of a viable snare. The meanwhile you are hanging on trying to save for a panther. The Jagd simply doesn't cut it. Does it even do damage? I swear it never does when I have tried it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So when do US terminator units get a nerf?21 Jul 2014, 01:28 AM American are ridiculously OP in team game. Or actually, the problem is honestly that OKW is just ridiculously UP. I mean Americans just blob to sherman spam. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So.. anyone ever built a Tiger as the OKW?27 Jun 2014, 20:14 PM I suck at this game and play team games only, but I have been trying it out in all of my games and I don't like it. I wanted to see if anyone else agrees. I find it not all that durable and being so much slower than the panther I am thinking I would rather have a couple of them out instead. For example, if you push with it and you get caught in a bad position it is too hard to escape. While with a panther it is much easier to run away. Thoughts? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commanders!8 Nov 2013, 16:32 PM Can the Tiger one really be that bad though? I mean, just disable the thing and run away. Then when he goes to repair, indirect fire on it to kill his engineers. Then destroy the rest of his army and take the map. He will have a Tiger with engine damage and literally nothing else, what can he do? Okay, so this commander will probably only be used in team games, so his teammate will have stuff. Still, focus on the units of the player with the tiger it becomes 2 v 1+vet3 tiger. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: CoH2 Patch News!5 Nov 2013, 21:51 PM Leaks always happen and will always happen. No way around it really. In the end only a small audience really reads the leaks. So long as you track down leakers and apply appropriate penalties they will be discouraged enough for the leaks to really hit mainstream acceptability. As a player I take anything unofficial with a grain of salt. Bottom line, leaks at this late stage really are not that bad for the game and the benefit of getting things play tested outweighs any downside to a leak. Just my opinion. In: Lobby
Thread: Reducing Soviet building cost and time 24 Oct 2013, 17:50 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2013, 16:16 PMNullist Sure. But that doesnt change the buildtime or cost. It certainly doesn't affect the cost, but I am not always concerned about how long something takes. I am certainly concerned with the opportunity cost associated with it. In this specific case, I am really not sure how to consider it all to try and say that things are balanced or are not. But I will say that there is an advantage to not having to use your pioneer to start teching. To illustrate by exaggeration, let's just say it took 10 min build the new and amazing tier 5. One side has to use 3 squads to build it while the other side doesn't have to use any squads. Would you agree that the side that doesn't have to use a squad to build it has the advantage? Playing as Soviets, if I had to research a tech before building and then got a build time of the building (meaning engineers occupied) that was the research time less to build, I would be pleased indeed! For example: Lets take a look at T1: 43s (200/40) If I had to research T1 at 200/40 cost for 35 seconds. Then to actually get units I had to build the building for free with a 8 second build time. I would say that is better (as in it makes the Soviets more powerful than they currently are). That is essentially the design that the Germans have now. I am not saying the Soviets should (or should not!) get that. But just saying that is makes them "better". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reducing Soviet building cost and time 24 Oct 2013, 15:50 PM I don't know if it is fair including the battle phase time. Sure it does take time, but it doesn't tie up a unit to do so. Having one unit out capping or (laying mines!) for an extra min actually makes a real difference. In: COH2 Balance
