Thread: British mortar30 Nov 2015, 19:36 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2015, 19:30 PMBulgakov Hey man Yeah it does seem everyone thinks that way. I guess I'll have to rethink it. Thanks everyone who gave feedback I could use! This is the most rational conclusion I have ever seen in a thread. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: December Patch UKF vs. OKW 1v1?30 Nov 2015, 17:03 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2015, 16:46 PM__deleted__ What do you suppose we do then? Keep line of sight on building constantly just for the ISG to hit it. What if this building contains an HMG, or a double bar Riflemen? This doesn't make any sense. LOS won't fix it. ISG is bugged vs buildings. Light vehicles are also bugged vs buildings so there's no point rushing a flak halftrack or Luchs. All you can do is divert ammo to nades and rely on raketens early game for AT. P4s work well vs buildings if you make it that far. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISG barrage ability is completely broken.27 Nov 2015, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2015, 19:51 PMCuddletronic I really would have liked to get this one fixed for the Patch. I don't have final say on what gets fixed and what doesn't. It will be on the top of my list for the next Patch. I don't doubt your devotion to your job. And I think everyone here appreciates how active you've been on these forums. The situation is what it is. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: ISG barrage ability is completely broken.27 Nov 2015, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2015, 18:36 PMCuddletronic This bug won't make it into the Dec Patch, Sorry. That's sad to hear. It's pretty game-breaking, deserving of a hotfix even. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: The new Omnipotent doom blob25 Nov 2015, 21:22 PM No, the Stuka is definitely not the answer, not at the 12 min mark anyway because you just get rolled over by the inevitable Cromwell. The answer is dual MG34. Which he did not get because he picked the wrong commander. The other option is to rush your Schwerer Panzer Headquarters and fight around that until you get better units. It needs to be deployed in a position where your enemy can't afford to let you hold though. Like the left side cutoff in this case. Also, USF Rifle company can pull a similar and much more potent blob with 5 rifles + flamethrowers and Captn'. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes23 Nov 2015, 20:29 PM I like this iterative balancing process but I feel like more effort should be invested into integrating these mods into a parallel form of automatch with rewards and/or incentives for participation. Most people here don't play the mods (myself included), because of how cumbersome it is, they just react to the few lines of pasted patch notes and theorycraft. And playing against the CPU hardly counts. There's huge potential here to accelerate and strengthen the balancing of the game but it's largely forfeited because it's not fully integrated. We could easily end up with a broken meta two weeks into the next patch because not enough people tested it. And with the holidays coming up, I wouldn't expect a hotfix either. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Principle Centered Feedback9 Nov 2015, 22:10 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2015, 06:05 AMRomeo I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't see any benefit to side armor. The front/rear mechanic is sufficient to encourage players to flank. Frustrating cases of scatter and RNG can be addressed without adding this mechanic. The scenario he keeps bringing up is of tanks facing each other at a slight tilt and by a freak of chance, the rear armor is hit from a mostly frontal shot, because the rear half of the tank is sticking out in a thin slice. This is a valid (although very rare occurring) problem that the current armor system can't fix. Hitting the front armor from a rear shot is equally frustrating. The inclusion of side armor would mitigate these edge cases (although it wouldn't guarantee the desired result) but I don't trust Relic to properly maintain the added level of complexity. Just look at how difficult it has been so far for them to handle the new building panels and target tables. Let's also excuse Relic on that front and admit that bugs are simply inevitable. Well the horrendous patch rate would still be a problem. I would not look forward to T34s consistently bouncing P4's side armor not getting fixed for months. In: Lobby
Thread: UKF lack of indirect, building counters and map balance6 Nov 2015, 22:00 PM I definitely feel like Brits are the weakest of the Allied factions (in 1v1) because of their handicapped indirect fire and useless emplacements. They have a similar problem dislodging defenses on wide open terrain (left side Angoville for example) because they have to brute force their attack. Whereas against buildings, they rely on the Wasp early game, on open terrain they heavily rely on snipers. Both are risky investments that can be lost to the smallest over-extension or prolonged use.

We're more likely to get a "companion app" than an in-game ladder. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Stream Recap5 Nov 2015, 20:24 PM All good points. It's particularly nice to see that optimization is still on the table. What I'd really like to see though is more frequent and less brash balance patches. The way they left the game in such a broken state for the last two months was inexcusable. In: COH2 Gameplay
