Thread: Will Steve Blum return for Western Front Armies?12 May 2014, 23:35 PM Nothing really wrong with current voices. I do miss a lot of the personality and flavor stuff from coh1, units randomly chatting when you had the camera near them and stuff. I might be crazy but I don't recall any of that in coh2 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is random auto match driving u crazy?12 May 2014, 23:34 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2014, 16:54 PMAbdul Today, I met the most amazing randome teammate ever. He loses his side in 10 min and then asks me this: I legitimately don't know how to either. There's no need to learn if you never surrender. (I just quit instead) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: soviet zis3 and su7612 May 2014, 23:31 PM The 60 muni barrage is hardly useless, even if it's situational. Although you can get 2 supermines for that cost so I guess I might hesitate to use it for that reason In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is 100 range too much?12 May 2014, 13:09 PM I'm waiting to see how relic decides to nerf them. If you reduce range too much they will straddle the line between too powerful and "useless". Currently they're pretty pathetic in a stand up fight and are only marginally tougher to kill than an SU85 when you're actually there with them. We might see a nerf AND a cost decrease to reflect their new, less useful role. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will Steve Blum return for Western Front Armies?12 May 2014, 13:06 PM Based on Steve's IMDB list I can't imagine he turns down a solid paying role. Fingers crossed, but it's too late to change now anyway - content is about to launch! In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Omega's Japanese Faction12 May 2014, 05:44 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2014, 18:21 PMBartonPL most likely around air support, tanks were easy targets for bombers, Stukas gave victory for Germans against France where their tanks couldnt do anything against those, later the Mericans and british air support were destroying german tank divisions so as it was on eastern front, first luftwaffe did a good job but when soviets rebuilded their air forces, they dominated battlefields. Tanks were only good vs pure infantry with no AT weaponry and when enemy had no air support nearby Victory against France, like victory against any large country in WWII, was achieved by all things in combination. But you are seriously downplaying the importance of armor. Without their large, concentrated armored formations to punch through the lines and extremely rapidly close to the channel, the victory against France would not have been possible. They are powerful, fast and tough, and they are they were of extreme importance to the war effort. Nobody is taking this straw-man position that Tanks, alone, are the only important thing, or that they did not require any support. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: ISU 152 v Elephant12 May 2014, 05:17 AM Jump back to quoted post12 May 2014, 04:56 AMVonIvan As I've stated it is merely a suggested time, can be changed, though I guess it means that an elefant is counterable now, which is ofc the ultimate objective at hand. This also means defending your elefant/putting it in a good position to fire is priority instead of before where you didn't have to micro and could easily pull it back from harms way. I'm not sure how we'd feel about the Ele being basically unable to dodge a precision strike. It's already an instant kill on German howitzers and a particularly common ability to show up in team games. We'd probably wind up in a situation where now IL2 doctrines are in every single game because it's so powerful and counters so many things. Drop the range to 80 in focus mode or something and leave it otherwise as is. ISU can be indirectly nerfed by some sort of global patch to reduce squad wipes. Fix mine explosion profiles so they don't wipe squads as much in general (both factions). Then we can see what the balane is like and go from there. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ideal Vehicle Balance12 May 2014, 04:38 AM A more elegant solution is to require teching and tech buildings for high tier callins. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will Steve Blum return for Western Front Armies?12 May 2014, 03:15 AM For those of you who don't know, Steve Blum is an extremely prominent voice actor. He's in some ridiculous number of games and animated tv shows. In Company of Heroes 1, he was the "Faction voice" for USA as well as doing several American unit voices. The guy's voice is aweseome and I used to love lines like "One of our units was.... anihilated". It would be awesome if he could fill this role again in CoH2 Western Front Armies now that we'll have the American faction again. In: COH2 Gameplay
