Thread: 120mm and its uses.11 Jan 2014, 11:41 AM It still feels painful on the receiving end in team games. Flag it down as possibly needing a slight cost reduction, but leave it alone until other more pressing balance issues are worked out. We'll get a better idea of how good or bad it is in an absolute sense when the metagame is more balanced. In: COH2 Gameplay

I see calls for buffs to Su 85s and Isu 152s. Then nerf Elefants, panthers, Tigers and p4s. I saw one that said the scout car was easily capable of handling a Su 85 on it's own..... There may be some tweaks here and there, but it's quite obvious Ostheer will never again be formidable, but only just good enough to keep it's head above water. Are you sure those aren't old posts? That sounds like stuff people would say in Q3 last year. In: COH2 Balance

Not that expenisive ability. Quite nifty, but AoE seems rather samll and can fail. Nope not buffed (atleast not recently), its just that ppl have realized its powerfull and save up for it. Nothing new released since nov patch. That said, recent patch changed the CPs and suddenly soviet players changed their meta alot, making it more difficult to decide how to play as ostheer in 2v2s. -8 streak now Unbelievable. How is the Wehr meta supposed to change in response? That's not a rhetorical question, I need serious strategy advice. We just got wiped two more times by Shock, 120mm, quick tech to SU-85. 203mm appears usually about the same time I decide to deploy an Elephant to regain armored superiority. It's so strange that we never seemed to have issues until now, yet you're saying this stuff didn't get buffed except the shocks to 1cp. The early shocks are definitely a problem but I can't explain the other stuff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer since new patch6 Jan 2014, 11:20 AM On a -6 losing streak since the patch. For full disclosure, I have a regular teammate and we have a roughly 1:1 win/loss ratio overall (or at least we did last time I checked). Neither my teammate or I purchase any of the commanders because we hate the sale of commanders on principle. I have to ask if the Soviets now have some kind of propaganda-war style artillery barrage ability? Because they used it on me in one of those games and I was totally unprepared for it, had never seen it in action before. In general I have noticed that shock troops are extremely prolific, and the 203mm howitzer seems very popular. The heavy strafing run is not something I saw get much use prior (is this new, or is it just newly buffed?) and resulted in extremely bad losses most of the time it has been used. I went on holiday to Germany in early December, so I feel like there is some The Forever War shit going on right now where every time I take a break and come back to the game the opponents have more abilities that I've never seen before. The developers are having enough problems balancing the game as it is without the steady influx of new commanders messing things up over and over. I would be interested to see broad statistics for factions and find out whether or not the Axis is currently losing more often than winning. In: COH2 Balance
