Thread: You are able to see where the enemy spawns.30 Aug 2014, 08:32 AM I'm positive this kind of thing didn't used to happen. I clearly remember playing the guessing game with my howitzer or even the days of the super-cheap 221, where it was commonly used to suicide-scout the enemy base for a strike. Now, you know where all the buildings are right off the bat. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Irregulars need a bit of love30 Aug 2014, 08:30 AM I may be wrong, but iirc Partisans, Irregulars, and Osttruppen have 50% increased incoming accuracy. They might have 80 health, but it goes down twice as fast. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Puma30 Aug 2014, 05:15 AM I'm okay with the Puma being as strong as it is, it's desperately trying to make up for OKW's lack of hard-hitting AT and the lack of a Medium Tank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: LMG Comparison30 Aug 2014, 05:13 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2014, 02:09 AMelchino7 AND if your concern is recrewing weapons with elite units, the 25% increase receive accuracy in combination with the high cost of the unit makes them unreliable. Wait, that counts toward new crews as well? I thought it only counted against the original crews? Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2014, 02:09 AMelchino7 Note: there was a time on the game history that MG42 "OP" crewed by either Penals or Shocktroops in combination with merge (OHMYGODTHEUTILITYSOOP) was kinda pretty scary. I remember Grenadiers flanked my MG 42 and charged in. Penals wiped them. Denied! (unfairly) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Vet 3 Pak cloaking is gone29 Aug 2014, 23:53 PM Ambush Camouflage works now? The last time I tried to use it, my Panzergrens got nearly wiped by Conscripts, so I gave them Panzerschrecks and tried to ambush a T-70. They missed all 4 Panzerschreck shots. I tried it again with LMG Grenadiers and they almost got wiped out as well. I assumed the modifiers were backwards making me take more damage while being less accurate, instead of taking less damage and being more accurate. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Partisans need to be more consistent 29 Aug 2014, 23:40 PM Even if they aren't meant to be combat troops, they're very expensive just to decap a point or lay a mine. And if they get spotted, you might as well let them die, because they're no use on your end of the map. If they could hide in cover or despawn for a refund, yeah they'd be much more useful. But currently? I'd rather use Engineers for my mine-laying and pop Panzergrenadiers out of buildings. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: LMG Comparison29 Aug 2014, 22:14 PM The Obersoldaten MG 34 is nearly all of their DPS, without it, they're basically a slightly better Grenadier squad. I assume it's that way so you can't just recrew an MG with Obersoldaten and have it be unflankable. In-fact, even the current 3 Obersoldaten guards have higher DPS than a Conscript Squad, so if the MG 34's DPS was more evenly distributed over the squad, Conscripts would take heavy losses trying to get rid of it.

Thread: Partisans need to be more consistent 29 Aug 2014, 21:57 PM I used to think Partisans were just bad because they could pop out of any building, but with Fallschirmjagers and Jager Light Infantry, that idea went out the window and we basically have Panzergrenadiers popping out of buildings. Compared to that, Partisans are cost ineffective and combat ineffective. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Puma29 Aug 2014, 20:52 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2014, 19:28 PMNapalm Bump time. I just did some learning about the Puma. Turns out there is a pretty large difference between the OST and OKW Puma's. Raw stats for the OKW Puma Raw stats for the OST Puma OKW Puma accelerates faster (4.5 vs 2.5) OST Puma has a greater extended sight radius (70 vs 35) The OKW Puma uses weapons specific for it, the OST Puma uses the P IV. Pretty big differences there. The more you know. Speed difference, the gun is the same though. Be careful not to get "Name" mixed up with "File name". "Name" is often incorrect because guns are frequently based off other similar weapons, but they don't always change the "Name" when they make a new file. For Example: OKW Puma Gun: Name: 5cm KwK 39 L/60 (Puma) File name: dkfz_234_puma_kwk39_5cm_mp.xml OH Puma Gun: Name: Kwk40 75mm Tank Gun (Panzer IV) File name: puma_50mm_mp.xml Extended site range I've never figured out, so I can't comment on that.
