Thread: [Developer] Map Improvement Poll29 Nov 2014, 04:45 AM Stalingrad needs to see improvements, I don't know how since there are no light cover brick walls, but something needs to be done. There are also several areas on the map where airbrone troops can get permanantly stuck. These are: 1. Crater outside smokestack factory on the bottom-left side, AB may land in it and get trapped. 2. Open area in the top left side, the rare open nature of it makes it look relatively low-risk, it isn't. Troops will be trapped on a small 'line' of ground. 3. Control Point in the center-north near the park. Luftwaffe Assault troops can get stuck between the rubble and control point. Also, in the large building in the center, troops cannot fire to the southern side of the building, making them sitting ducks for the player attacking from the bottom. Recommend the building is either allowed to have that southern facing, or ruin walls are used to block that side. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The imbalance between Allied and Axis Infantry Anti-tank 28 Nov 2014, 22:30 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2014, 21:59 PMnee This makes no sense, since giving Sturmpioniers results in Volks becoming more like Sturmpioniers, if not Grenadiers or Obersoldaten. No pointing doing that since you can go T3 and get Obers that already have the MG34, which fires on the move, and the Obers are better than Volks at it. And all this to avoid Volks being AT infantry? The idea of giving Volks automatic weapons instead is to make them better skirmish infantry, but not assault infantry. It'd be needed for a fairly balanced faction (Schrecks on Sturmpios, less OP Obers, and facing BAR's) to better keep pace. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: PPSH upgrade for conscripts is a downgrade28 Nov 2014, 22:23 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2014, 22:01 PMArclyte Reality has no basis here. Fallschirms in CoH 2 use their FG42s in full auto, even though it was completely unusable in that setting Even then, there's the fact that it still mag-dumped in a second, which means it'll spend far more time being reloaded or in-between bursts, than actually shooting. Even if it is accurate in automatic fire, the reload would restrict it from being useful like the BAR or FG 42 which have larger magazines and slower rate of fire. And more importantly, they were not officially used after 1943. The ones technically still in service were only used semi-automatically. That means you would be adding something that shouldn't be there, and Relic tries to keep it to things that were actually used in the time-frame they base their armies on. Nevermind that this is all completely irrelevant, a PPSh can be scripted as a long range semi-auto, and a Mosin can be scripted to work as an LMG. There isn't some magical barrier that prevents them from doing these things without adding questionable weaponry. If they want slightly better mid-range firepower, than can just fix up the PPSh to do that. And imo they should, just raise the DPS at mid-long just enough to be more in line with their other rifles.

Thread: Obersoldaten's name change.28 Nov 2014, 22:03 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2014, 20:27 PMSwitzerland The last thing coh 2 needs to be is a haven for nazi sympathetic individuals who find it confusing, that an organization such as the SS does not deserve a place of honour. There is a reason hurlers bunker is gone, many military marches even if not written by the regime have remained silent. If you can't handle it I strongly recommend a client side mod so you can have your swastika banners waving on your menu screen and SS unit markings, thankfully I doubt Duffy needed to read any books to realize this info and I wish you luck with any change. Honourrguard smells of the leibstandarte, nothing to be honoured there. Two things, rename thread to not sound as if it's even being considered by relic, and two how about a name that reflects the criminal nature of the organization. This thread is one of a couple recently that trouble me in the sense that some misguided folks think the SS were honourable, when chief players in the single largest racial hatred motivated and planned mass murder in human history. If you don't have the imagination to connect the reference of SS with obers as is, I recommend a liberation of Aushwitz map for 1v1, as that would be true representation. Funny how relic were kind enough to omit that from the campaign as the SS fled their crime, so whining about a name makes you pretty ungrateful. Did you even read the OP at all? Honor Guard was the units original name before it was changed for an unknown reason. Honor Guard is still referenced in the game in several ways, Obersoldaten isn't. I think in your ranting anger you missed that part. Virtually nothing you said was relevant or on-topic. The thread isn't even about a future name change, it's about one that already happened, with a poll asking which one people prefer. Even though the discussion has turned to suggested names instead, conversations evolve, I'm not gonna shoot it down. But you on the other hand, need to calm down. In: Lobby

Thread: What do you want in CoH2....28 Nov 2014, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2014, 15:37 PMTavington Considering only like 12 of them were deployed on the western front I don't really like the idea. Then again, there were only about 10 Sturmtigers. M26 Pershings did not participate in the Battle of the Bulge, but Sturmtigers did. In: Lobby
Thread: Obersoldaten's name change.28 Nov 2014, 11:24 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2014, 11:14 AMCabreza How about just calling them "Veteran Grenadiers" or "Ostfront Veterans?" Even "Elite Grenadiers" would be an improvement. I would keep the word "Grenadiers" out of it, since "Veteran Grenadiers" could cause confusion as to whether you mean Vet 3 Grenadiers, or "Veteran Grenadiers". Simply "Veterans" or another term like "Veteran Schutzen" / "Elite Schutzen" would suffice. (Schutzen was what Panzergrenadiers were called pre-1942) In: Lobby
Thread: Obersoldaten's name change.28 Nov 2014, 11:18 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2014, 11:09 AMsomenbjorn Better than Obersoldaten thats for sure. Still not satisfied though. You just reminded me that I forgot the 'Other' option Can't edit polls though, maybe a mod could add it and reset the poll? Is that even possible? In: Lobby
Thread: Obersoldaten's name change.28 Nov 2014, 11:03 AM The name "Obersoldaten" has proved a controversial name since they were first revealed. Some claim it's not a real word, others say has no meaning, or a nonsense meaning (Dane criticized it as meaning "Over Soldiers"). A friend of mine said it meant "High Rank Soldier". But this wasn't the original name. Evidence in the game's files and speech point to them originally being called "Honor Guards" instead. Their rifle is named Kar-98k Rifle (Honor Guard) in the game's files, and Volksgrenadiers refer to them as "the Honor Guard" in their idle speech (they also make it clear they do not like them). Moreover, no unit in the game refer to them as Obersoldaten, even Obers themselves only have generic voice lines when activated (Achtung! Be ready!). Personally, I think Honor Guard was a much better name. I suspect it may have been changed because it may have been implicative of the SS Honor Guard. Seeing as the unit was is obviously inspired by the SS, someone may have decided they were getting too close to real-life with the name and had it changed. If anyone knows more about the change, perhaps they could share it? (added a poll because I can) In: Lobby
