General Information


Thread: Coh 2 small arms ranges confusion3 Oct 2015, 20:38 PM The weapons use damage profiles (Rifle, Carbine, Assault Rifle, SMG, LMG) to get their general role, and tweak it from there. There are 3 range values that are used to adjust the damage curve, Near, Mid, and Long. These values are set between a Minimum and Maximum range. For example, Obersoldaten's "Near" range is 0, "Mid" is 25, and "Far" is 35. If a distance between Near is higher than the Minimum, it'll have flat DPS with no change. Same with Long and Maximum, but Near/Min is the one that's important because of how SMG's are set up. For the Shock Troop PPSh, "Near" is 10, "Mid" is 16, and "Far" is 30, so the points between 0-10 and 30-35 are just flat DPS. Between 1-10 is where a Submachine Gun wants to be 100% of the time. As a general rule of thumb, you can consider Near as 0 - 10, Mid as 10-20, and Long as 25-35. This is usually where the values sit, but it varies from weapon to weapon. 1/3 of your unit's line of sight is about 11 - 12. For perspective these pictures might help. The short lines indicates 5s, long indicates 10s. In: COH2 Gameplay

Nobody goes Mechanized opening because of how much the ISG is overperforming. Also because against Brits, you have to go fast Jagdpanzer or lose to Centaur. There's no choice in the matter.

Thread: USF commanders3 Oct 2015, 06:57 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2015, 00:42 AMOmega_Warrior Sounds like it would make a real cool doctrinal support weapon unit though. That'd be cool as a direct-fire Pack Howitzer with MG mobility and such. Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2015, 05:30 AMGrumpy Also, cannister was overnerfed to complete worthlessness. Either replace it or make it usable. Give the scout car a little better vision. It currently is no better than a standard 222 or Kubel. I said it before I'll say it again, remove Canister Shot and give it the stats from the T-70 45mm gun. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF commanders3 Oct 2015, 00:16 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 23:13 PMVuther I am assuming considering their complaint of "Zookas are bad so why would you want them on expensive Paras", their image of the Recoiless Rifle would be like CoH1's version as the 2nd best infantry AT weapon in the game. But that's not what a Recoilless Rifle does, CoH1's RR's were a work of fiction. Actual Recoilless Rifles fired modified artillery shells, and were used against infantry, unarmored vehicles, and field fortifications. Essentially it's direct-fire pocket artillery, something that unless employed as it's own unit (With setup like MG 42), would probably either be UP, RNG, or OP. Consider this, people hate Rifle Grenades, but a Recoilless Rifle is basically shooting Rifle Grenades at the rate of a Panzerschreck. While Recoilless Rifles did have HEAT rounds, they were very underwhelming, vastly inferior to the Bazooka, and Anti-Tank wasn't the purpose of the RR. Having an RR with HEAT rounds solely as a better Bazooka is like calling in a StuG E with HEAT rounds to act as a better StuG G. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Instant tank turning (experienced with IS2)2 Oct 2015, 09:07 AM Yeah it happens, it's a pathing bug. Never saw it on a Heavy Tank, but I've seen it once or twice on mediums. Mostly though, light vehicles are the culprit. The worst offender I've ever seen was a Kubelwagen that was going full speed forward, then went backwards, forward, then side-ways into forward without losing speed. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: USF Improvised vehicle armor2 Oct 2015, 05:33 AM Relic should have just increased the armour to 180 as-per the first Balance Preview, instead of increasing the penetration. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bugged B22 Oct 2015, 04:34 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 03:46 AMNuclear Arbitor anything the brits can blow up you can run over. that said, i feel that's its a poor solution because it makes placement harder and you can't blow up/run over everything It's poor design because the Engineers and Pioneers cannot clear debris by themselves. That alone is reason enough not to use that solution. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Bugged B22 Oct 2015, 02:59 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 00:15 AMNuclear Arbitor couldn't you also increase the footprint of the howitzer so that it can't rotate outside of the footprint? i'm not convinced it's a good solution though. Also possible, but would make placement much harder since the larger footprint would also pick up on nearby objects, and non-British Engineers lack the ability to destroy obstructions. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Relic FYI, UKF's emplacements are useless due to ISG's2 Oct 2015, 02:01 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 01:48 AMRollo Emplacements should be like they were in vCoH Mortar pit should get a nerf but be cheap enough to build early game just like old brits. Old Brits isn't an inspiration we should be taking, that's what got new Brits in this mess in the first place, Relic using old Brits as an outline for new Brits. In: COH2 Balance
