Thread: T34/76 should get a slight buff4 Apr 2015, 03:12 AM Yeah I say restore it's old reload time. It's a buff but not an enormous one, still being outclassed by Sherman and PzIV. But it's something. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British for multiplayer/ No new axis faction - by relic3 Apr 2015, 21:13 PM Guys it's obvously British, we've been getting mentions of Brits in the game files for several patches now. These mentions coincide with mentions of new OKW content. So the implication seems to be that the British will be a new allied Faction, while OKW will get new doctrines. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic's Roadmap3 Apr 2015, 00:40 AM Juggernauth, all of the files that referenced Brits etc also referenced new OKW stuff. This is why a lot of us thought the Brits were just a couple of commanders for USF. In: Lobby
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?1 Apr 2015, 22:58 PM Jacksons have more pen (now 53% chance to pen max range) on KT but need an extra penetrating hit to take it out because of the lower damage. It's not really clearly better or worse against KT now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guard rifle infantry1 Apr 2015, 03:14 AM That's something I definitely thought about; the compensation might be lowered accuracy a bit. Against enemies in green cover it would hardly ever snipe people, against enemies in red cover it would be extremely lethal though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Guard rifle infantry1 Apr 2015, 02:44 AM Note: This is not really about the new patch, it's just some general thoughts. Guard Rifles are colloquially known by me and my teammates as "Loot Goblins" for their tendancy to drop weapons if upgraded with DPs. There was recently a change where PTRS are more accurate against infantry, which is kind of cool. I had a random thought about what might happen in the future. Random idea: - PTRS damage doubles (40->80) - Only 1 PTRS is given per squad - Accuracy tweaked so it's not necessarily gibbing dudes like crazy This is probably stupid, but it would mean one fewer special weapon in the squad and thus Guards with DPs are less likely to drop stuff. It also means that a direct hit from a PTRS would turn an infantry model to paste (except the newly buffed ost sniper, assuming it's on full health), which kind of makes sense given that it's a huge AT rifle.

Thread: Patch March 31st changelog31 Mar 2015, 21:37 PM I think USF might actually be competitively viable in team games now for anything other than Strafe, which is awesome really. Can't wait to try it tonight after work. In: Lobby
Thread: Patch March 31st changelog31 Mar 2015, 12:53 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Mar 2015, 11:15 AMausterlitz 2 jacksons 290 fuel? Panther teching plus unit cost is insane just to get one. Thing is ost alreday has weakest earlygame,weakest lategame infantry,weakest indirect fire and now weakest lategame armor.With these costs for teching ost will never be a viable faction. What does any of this have to do with the changes in this patch, though? The Jacksons only performs moderately better against the Panther (62.5% chance to penetrate each shot versus 50% chance to penetrate previously) and Tiger in terms of penetration (66% instead of 53%), while moderately worse against the T3 set-piece unit, the Panzer IV (33% more shots to kill). Not only this, but the Tiger itself has such high HP (1040) that the OLD Jackson took 5 penetrating hits to kill them (1040 / 240 = 4.33), while the NEW Jackson takes 6 penetrating hits to destroy it (1040 / 200 = 5.2). So, that's not even a net benefit against the Tiger, arguably it's worse for the Jackson. Someone should crunch the numbers to see precisely how much worse it is. PzIV - Clearly worse Panther - Clearly better Tiger - Ambiguously worse Is this really some buff that's going to ruin Ostheer? Does anybody even use the Panther in OH 1v1s? Doesn't everybody stall for Heavies or go T3+Tiger Ace? Or maybe even LW doctrine? In: Lobby
Thread: Relic: No Japanese faction in CoH231 Mar 2015, 07:24 AM Every country in the world has different slurs, and words vary in how offensive they are or if they are offensive at all. Jap could be offensive or not depending on context here. But Nip would always be offensive. In: Lobby
Thread: Should Relic apologise for dishonoring Soviets in COH2?31 Mar 2015, 07:16 AM The campaigns are often ripped straight from famous movies and TV shows. CoH1 was Band of Brothers x Saving Private Ryan for the Ameri campaign. CoH2 is Enemy at the Gates + vague popular conception of what the Eastern Front Was. It's not strictly inaccurate in either case but nor does it give the full story. But no, Relic shouldn't apologize. And Russian servicemen are doing a fine job dishonoring themselves in Ukraine right now In: Lobby
