Thread: Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces Alpha Infographic17 Jul 2015, 01:40 AM Unsurprising that Commando Regiment was most popular. It was the only one available for a while In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: When did Germany gain Alien tech?14 Jul 2015, 12:51 PM JP camo and other "ambush camo" (pathfinders, doctrinal camo etc) should only be able activate while outside of combat. I think snipers should be the only exception to this rule. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Idea how to repair industry...13 Jul 2015, 23:13 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 12:20 PMElSlayer Yeah, let's make another abomination with conversion on demand like CAS. Tons of doctrines have conversion on demand. CAS is OP bullshit because: It has the best airstrikes in the game, which are not only powerful but cheap It can leverage the early munitions income to spam inf upgrades, mines etc The rate of conversion is unbelievably efficient, 50 fuel -> 150 mun, and can't be intercepted or interrupted Draining manpower is more devastating than draining fuel is, since CAS gives you every tool you need to deal with the cool toys the enemy gets, while you can also build an extremely potent manpower-only army. Industry is garbage because it's easier to have an army without tanks (or with fewer tanks as it always is in CAS) than it is to have an army without infantry and support weapons. Every single unit and upgrade needs manpower, while only some need fuel. We can avoid it being "CAS level OP" by adjusting the rate of conversion so that it's not so "incredibly efficient", like CAS is. In: Lobby
Thread: Idea how to repair industry...13 Jul 2015, 12:04 PM Not sure if there is (mechanically speaking) support for a change like that in the game. I'm not aware of any doctrine that increases or decreases base unit prices. For the doctrine to be useful it needs to be in some way voluntary. Maybe just a 180 second ability that does what it does now, but then deactivates. That might be too good though! Hard to say. In: Lobby
Thread: When will relic fix the FHQ...13 Jul 2015, 05:17 AM Yeah it's a terribly designed ability. It's not OP 99.99% of the time, in fact it's broadly useless on many maps and in most game modes. But it's just stupid that you just pop it in neutral territory and instantly have a FHQ. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nice to see the new patch....13 Jul 2015, 02:51 AM Penetration for AP shells is primarily a function of momentum, Mass x Velocity. You can increase penetration by increasing the mass of the shell (increasing calibre is one way to do this, substituting the materials for denser ones is another). You can also increase it by increasing the velocity of the shell. A long barrelled 88 had higher muzzle velocity not purely because of its longer barrel, but also because of an associated increase in gunpowder to propel it faster. A 90mm shell vs a 75mm shell fired at the same velocity will see the 90mm penetrate more. OTOH a 75mm Panther shell travelling faster than the 90mm AP shell has more comparable performance. One reason that countries in the postwar era favoured larger diameter guns rather than focusing on HV stuff is because larger, heavier shells are better for dual-purpose stuff, they have bigger HE loads. The development of APFSDS ammunition later on allowed them to have their cake and eat it too, albeit at the cost of complicating the aiming a bit. In: Lobby
Thread: Nice to see the new patch....12 Jul 2015, 23:52 PM I hope the 17 pounder units are sort of complementary to the Jackson, higher penetration but lower damage. That way the two will feel different. Nfi how Relic will deliver it to us in the end though. In: Lobby
Thread: Nerf Luchs (health)?12 Jul 2015, 23:48 PM Other light tanks needed to be (and were? From memory) buffed to its level of HP, to make light tanks actually useful. Stuart still needs a bit of love though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer Elite as new faction for next DLC11 Jul 2015, 14:25 PM There doesn't need to be a third. Just add some more content to OKW. In: COH2 Gameplay
