There are 20 doctrines for Ostheer and your answer to a balance problem is to rely solely on one doctrine every game. That's not fun, the game should not be balanced around one super-meta doctrine.




Uh, it doesn't lose the old gun, it gains a new gun. It still has the old gun.

He was offering a way to deal with it if you can't find an answer in your tech tree. Puma is a nice hard counter that offers some amazing love in a reasonably priced package.

The M5 appears to out class the 222 to such a degree that the 222's window is about 10 seconds long. Either the 222 should get buffs to help it fight the quad, or the quad should be brought down in effectiveness. As nerfing the quad would make it less attractive late game because of its high cost and vulnerability, I would say buff the 222. Right now, smart play and one pak should allow you to hold the line against the quad, but it is too difficult for Osteer to take on this vehicle effectively. The issue is that when Ost gets T3 to try to deal with quad they are already faced with SU76 which provides excellent cover for the quad.

However, if we buff 222 we run into an issue where Ost is very, very vulnerable to sniper spam and M3 spam. That was why the 222 originally had an upgrade so you could use it to deal with snipers or cars and save your munitions if possible.

This is a tough nut to crack.

As a reminder you do not yet have enough games for the game to rank you on the skill system (this is invisible to you). As you play more games in a single playlist the game will get better about pairing you up with people your sill level. Stick to a single list and play 10 games or more and see if your experience doesn't change.

As a general guide, you should be able to beat the computer in all sizes of games on expert easily.

Lackluster unit trapped in a lackluster doc. The whole doc needs to be looked but the biggest offender is definitely the KV-2.

Possibly leaving it as a slow firing tank with a barrage ability when set up that lets it act like a howitzer. Could be balanced in many ways (few shells, less damage, etc.) to prevent it from owning everything on map.

Also its vet 1 ability needs to be redone (obviously). My vote is to get rid of unlocked ability and just give it some buffs when it hits vet 1.

Just so everyone knows I am not a noob. I have been playing COH since the first one and I've been playing this since the day it was released . I just never played automatch until recently to freshen things up. I win 9/10 times I play when I do a custom match of Annihilation/High Resources. Also to the kid claiming I'm making fun of him, nobody likes an asshole. Instead of you guys screaming "YOU SUCK." at people who are clearly new to automatch, you could've at least pointed out what we did wrong like a mature human being.

Certainly I can point out what you did incorrectly:

1) You bunkered down and gave the iniative to my team
2) You allowed squads to be wiped for no reason (MG team in house got sniped out, but you had multiple times you could have let it retreat)
3) You became obsessed with killing my snipers, which caused you to follow them around the map letting me back cap anything I wanted
4) You and your friend attacked at different times allowing my ally and I to move our forces back and forth, making them appear much larger than they were
5) You chose to go elite even though you were losing fuel battle and then used troop training
6) You were slow to tech up and get AC
7) You upgraded PG's with G43's making them drop shreks and also spending >150 munitions on a squishy already highly valuable target
8) You retreated late allowing squads to get wiped, and retreated through roads.
9) You did not spread out your forces so my snipers could contest every point you moved on
10) You eventually got so upset by my ally that you spent long periods typing and not playing
11) Even when you knew I had a Flak HT you send squads off alone to go cap (I would say useless) points. They could not hope to retreat before being wiped. This happened at least twice after you knew.
12) You never built a pak even though you must have known we were teching up to heavier vehicles

If you wanted tips you should have said so in the beginning of the thread, and not used insults as your thread title or attempted to belittle me in the body. Same goes during the game.

Also I am not a "kid", though you can call me that if you prefer.

I don't think he meant to blanket insult everyone, just the Scumbags with Max Prestige. Though I might have had sympathy for ImagelessBean if he hadn't started firing back by bragging about how he "beat him to the ground". Sorry, it just made him sound arrogant and if what the OP says is true, the kind of guy I wouldn't want to play with either...

As for the OP, I think Relic should install a feature that "Mutes" tells coming from the opposite team. Not everyone wants to put up with taunts and bullying when they try to relax and play a game.

What actually happened was that my ally, who I eventually told to stop, made fun of the two players. Both players bit hard, and they proceeded to talk about how bad we were. At some point he said, "stupid foreigners", at which point I said I was from America. Was I arrogant, yes. We had taken the whole map and were building sand bags around his base. Did they surrender, no. Did they talk trash even while losing and complain about the game, which they did not understand at all, yes.
