Thread: Ost mortar is too OP(Vickers HP bug)12 Jan 2017, 16:35 PM This is a Brit problem more than a OST balance problem. I've been playing Brits exclusively (1v1) for a couple of weeks now and they really struggle at dealing with heavy support weapon play as their low movement speed makes them terrible flankers. The lack of mobile arty means they can't counter barrage or smoke outside of a fixed radius. The mortar pit is overpriced and can generally be ignored or destroyed pretty easily. Really, there's no reason to do anything in their build order other than stall for a Comet and farm its vet 1 ability. Once you get there, you can turn the game. Everything before that is a slow death spiral. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: How is this fair? [picture]10 Jan 2017, 16:07 PM Aside from the op's thought process and expectations being utterly wrong, this does highlight how un-intuitive the game can be to newcomers. A single AT gun and a spotter would have been enough. But yeah, the thing that looks like a static at gun isn't going to cut it. The Bofors is 360 degree bunker that can also take out light vehicles. Use it to fortify your territory. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.3 Update16 Dec 2016, 21:18 PM Building the 251 FlakHT requires the player to first research Field Medics I understand the reasoning behind this but it just doesn't make sense that researching medics unlocks a halftrack. Maybe rename the unlock or rethink the halftrack role. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.3 Update16 Dec 2016, 21:10 PM Penals don't need to be good at everything. It's fine to give them PTRS but no reason to add the molotov too. Flame engies and conscripts need to have a reason to exist beyond doing the same thing slightly better. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Winter Balance Preview Changelog25 Nov 2016, 20:27 PM I agree with most changes. Less so with the guards and penals accuracy nerfs. The late game infantry combat already favors the Axis side and this will further tip the scales. The OKW and Brits to some extent have a powercreep issue around their heavier tanks that hasn't been addressed. There's just no reason not to ever get a KT or Comets late game and no real way to adapt to counter them (on most maps). In: Lobby
Thread: Why this game is starcraft ww2?20 Oct 2016, 21:12 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2016, 10:04 AMJohnSmith If Robocop was British, his name would have been RoboCuppa. .. and if he got promoted to a senior position he'd be called RoboGuv. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 DLC 10th Anniversary Skin Pack3 Oct 2016, 20:04 PM I hope the new skins are just Q. Duffy's face plastered on the front of every tank. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: DOW 3 - Help needed - Huge concern #RELIC #NOTROLL #BALANCE3 Oct 2016, 15:51 PM Good luck with that. As a side-note, the good news is that the cost of game development has gone up so much that initial sales aren't enough to cover for shitty design choices and bad support. Games need a dedicated playerbase buying DLC and hats, to be successful. The market is already saturated and people don't have the patience to wait 3 months in between patches anymore. So if Relic keeps up their P2W, P2P and balance mistakes along with their slow patch rate, DoW3 will wither and die without you helping it. In: Other Games
Thread: Cossacks 323 Sep 2016, 16:14 PM Relic can proceed with their mediocre patch and balance commitments, safe in the knowledge that no real competitor exists out there. In: Other Games
Thread: 1v1 Land Mattress vs StuG-E20 Jun 2016, 16:28 PM There's nothing wrong with prideposting. Games at the top level should be posted, period. In: Replays
