Thread: Double T34/85s and PrettyEasy Eight30 Apr 2015, 12:52 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 12:12 PMBulgakov He's been playing a long time at a higher level. Players like Nosliw, Hans, Cataclaw, Barton, Budwise - they understand RTS better than you or me. It's always worth taking in their posts. They unquestionably have more skill and ability then us. Understanding of the game is something on the same level, but still separate issue. You don't have to be a driver to understand how you should behave on the street. "Most axis players scream imbalance when allied tank or shell one shots a squad and they scream that nothing should one shot squad and then we have unit like sturmtiger which erases anything it hits below 140 fuel cost." This is flamebaiting. "most axis players"? "scream"? C'mon... If they're screaming, ignore them. Discuss it with the rational players but discuss it without emotional provocation. Not really a flame baiting, simply pointing out double standards. B-4 wiping stuff? Hell broke loose. ST doing the same? God forbid anyone touches that! Thats my point here. We can still skip it though as its not that important for this discussion at the moment. But my main point is that it's bad for ALL ARMIES to regularly lose full squads to one-shot units. Matter of balance really(and squad bunching again). Even in coh1 where infantry were terminators compared to what CoH2 offers the abilities to instantly erase whole infantry force was far greater and much more frequent with all the artys, goliaths, AT nade on AT mine trick, AVRE and many more. Squad wipes will always be part of the game, especially if we're using bigger guns or HE shells. The smaller guns, like P4 or T34, squad wipes are exclusively because of bunching and no aoe fixing will prevent or even diminish that. Heal the cause, not the symptoms. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Double T34/85s and PrettyEasy Eight30 Apr 2015, 11:51 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 11:30 AMBulgakov Yes, US and OKW are in the same boat in some respects. The US are facing less 1-shot units though (by less I don't mean the actual number available, I mean that actual number fielded - the Soviet and US one-shot units are cheaper than the axis ones and appear much more in games) Axis wipe options seem to be more expensive, but there is a fair share of ones that are cheaper(booby traps for example), getting Stuka which wipes something with almost every barrage is also cheaper then getting Katy. Axis options of squad wiping are more expensive, but they are also much more lethal. Most axis players scream imbalance when allied tank or shell one shots a squad and they scream that nothing should one shot squad and then we have unit like sturmtiger which erases anything it hits below 140 fuel cost. It is mostly about spread, I agree. It's also about AoE and how that's implemented though. Did you read Nosliw's two posts? That guys been playing RTS for a long time, he's worth listening to and he made some great points. I play RTS games since settlers 2/C&C times I got my fair share of experience with all different kinds of them. He mentions CoH1. He didn't mention that infantry in general was much more powerful and durable there, pretty much only artillery was a reliable way of disposing them. CoH2 infantry lethality itself is much greater AoE profiles were nerfed multiple times, you can nerf them to extremely low values and you'll still see squad wipes, because all entities stand in a single place. Ever wondered why pre WFA only squad wipes were caused by odd 120mm or ISU random hits and not by stuff like Ostwinds or rifle nades? Hell, I've seen a pshreck one shot 5 models once, its certainly not because of its AoE. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Double T34/85s and PrettyEasy Eight30 Apr 2015, 11:18 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 11:15 AMBulgakov Wow, Nosliw's here. Big +1 Losing full squads to one-shotters ruins the gameplay for any army. Ost and OKW suffer a bit more due to their smaller squads but really it happens to every army. A lot of issue would be much less severe if this was dealt with. You can't really say that okw suffers more then USF here. Both have 5 men basic inf, both have 4 men squads and weapon teams, USF have even 3 men squads. And one shots have nothing to do with tanks, so stop mentioning them. Its about squad spread, it always was about it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?30 Apr 2015, 11:15 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2015, 23:30 PMdaspoulos Not like the brits are going to have tigers and panthers. Best tank they have will be a firefly. But they won't have anything that can really go toe to toe with a panther or tiger/king tiger. Churchill Mk. VII would be a good contestant. Maybe it wouldn't be able to single handed destroy Tiger, but it would certainly be on pair with durability and its 75mm wasn't a bad thing either. Also lol at anyone thinking brits would have less then 5 man main line infantry squads. That won't happen unless these squads will hardcounter ost sniper by default. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Remove free lieutenant30 Apr 2015, 10:34 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 10:31 AMOmega_Warrior I think we should delay T1 instead of removing luitenent and see how that goes first. The whole 50 fuel luitenant vs 80 fuel captain is relic from alpha when the captain had all the light vehicles. It makes absolutely no sense for one to be more expensive then the other since neither gives you access to superior units and if anything the luitenent tier is better. 65 for both would be all around more balanced. That actually sounds reasonable and logical. Therefore relic will ignore it and move on. In: Lobby
Thread: Do you think this alpha should be in waves?30 Apr 2015, 10:29 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 10:10 AMSwonVIP Is there a planned private Alpha forum on coh2.org too? just asking. That would be kind of pointless. Why disperse feedback over 2 sides instead of condensing it on one, when its the exact same group of people? Why and how would you revise people again on non relic site? In: Lobby
Thread: UKF alpha test30 Apr 2015, 07:38 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 07:29 AMturbotortoise aren't you a proponent of the sas/lrdg jeep? or was that sarcasm? 'cos i bet those'd be rad. Those are different really from the classic clown cars, it would look like that, but I imagine they would work more like 222, where you could have default AI jeeps with upgrades for AT and you definitely shouldn't be able to put additional infantry in them, these were raid jeeps, not half arsed transporters. @MajorBloodnok Maybe once or twice. I liked brit core more and was really PE player back then. In: COH2 Gameplay
