Thread: Katy 's "Creeping Barrage" ability29 May 2020, 01:03 AM Jump back to quoted post29 May 2020, 00:30 AMStein Grenadier Frankly, the katy creeping barrage has no real merit to show aside from taking up the vet1 slot. What I would propose is something as simple as removing its muni cost and making the barrage area smaller, or by keeping its cost and increasing the number of rockets fired. Another alternative would be to increase the number of rockets fired in each salvo. The Katy would be much more effective if it fired 2 salvos of six instead of 3 salvos of four. That's one reason why the panzerwerfer is so much more effective in some situations, because its rockets are all fired at once/in rapid succession. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Lengthy 3v3; looking for some help!23 Sep 2019, 23:45 PM The biggest issue was Richard and I, trying to push against a KT + Elefant combination. I'm sure there are micro issues here or there but perhaps there's a better commander choice or other tactical/strategic choices that could've let us win! 2 VS \|WeOP\| Aardappelboer \|WeOP\| Jodl's Apprentice \|WeOP\| Connelly GBPirate R$_HUNTER Richarddear\|\|AD\|\|1215 4 Slogging 4v4 by: Gbpirate map: Across the Rhine 2 - In: Replay Reviews

Thread: Fallschirmjäger is very OP!17 Sep 2019, 02:17 AM I don't want to pretend like I've read all of the discussion here, but after playing a few games (4s, with a buddy or with a whole arranged team), I can say that fallschirmjägers, in their current state, are bit too overpowered. I'm not sure how to change them, but they're just too strong in infantry vs. infantry combat. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sniper Poll: American and OKW Doctrinal Snipers9 Sep 2019, 03:40 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Sep 2019, 15:23 PMblancat Unfortunately, no new commander will be added to this game anymore Relic abandoned coh2 and is not developing any additional content The mod team has created a new commander but it will be difficult to make more What's your basis for saying this? I thought this 18-24 months ago but after DoW3's flop it seems that Relic is reinvesting into coh2. Hence the balance patches & preview mods as well as the new or revamped commanders that we've got over the past two years. on topic: I think snipers are fun but i understand why people don't like them. Adding snipers to the other two factions would reduce asymmetry which is an important aspect of the game that keeps it fun and interesting. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v46 Sep 2019, 22:34 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Sep 2019, 18:18 PMelchino7 Then you are messing up with teching. What about mp? Do you scale that as well. What do you do with VPs? It's not only economy. Its army scale. You have up to 6 more players than intended in the map and you only need 2 VP (in most maps) to win. Well, you are messing with teching, but the idea is that the increased number of points on the map would minimize or even negate the lower income of points or caches. I don't think the maps are big enough or with enough strategic points for a change to resource income like I've suggested to work but it's certainly something to be considered in CoH 3. I don't think VPs are an issue; there can still be three of them to fight over (five feels like a lot in Lorch Assault but the map is limited in effective size due to the castle). You just have more units fighting over the same quantity of VPs when comparing 1s and 4s but how exactly is this an issue? It might be worthwhile for Relic to explore limiting population cap at higher player counts (and potentially increasing player count), creating a more team-based strategy game. It might be something similar to the Total War experiment with the 10v10 matches where each player gets three units to command. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v46 Sep 2019, 16:49 PM While caches are certainly an issue in 3s and 4s, they are more of a symptom of the way that the game's economy is structured as others have pointed out. It would probably be better if the income of territory points and/or caches was scaled down depending on the number of points present and/or player count. Caches could be fiddled with too, perhaps with increased build time or gradually increasing in income the longer they are in place (the same could be done with points too, making de-capping even more punishing). But basically the resource mechanics are stretched to the limit in 4s and customizing unit costs based on map size or player count would increase the learning curve, I think, forcing players to memorize more values.
