Re: 4.9.9 Patch Preview

Thing is, the Sherman is already hard to destroy using infantry.. even with slow speed... Now the Shermans will be able to effectively hit inf and also. The Shermans speed changes range from 12% slower to 20% faster at the very best. That isn't going to fundamentally change anything except to unify...

Re: Armored doctrine does not work

Hey, YOU there. Panzerblitz1 simply said " if well played in collaboration with your team-mates " and then later you came by claiming that Panzerblitz1 said " in highly collaborative play " So I really wonder where did you get that 'highly' from? Moreover, both his sentences are...

Re: Armored doctrine does not work

Do you personally have the feeling that Armor doc is somehow super-relying on team in other stuff than dealing with AT guns? As for my personal feelings on Armor doctrine, yes I feel Armor doctrine is super reliant on teammates with dealing with just about anything. I aim to finish games within 30-...

]I get that, but we cannot balance the game for the scenarios where players don't communicate much. I don't think they should be completely catered to, but they should be kept in mind instead of totally ignored. Actually no game I know, which is aimed at PvP, makes balance changes based on "av...

Re: Armored doctrine does not work

armor doc is a lethal doctrine if well played in collaboration with your team mate. That's exactly why it "does not work". It's too dependent on collaboration. It is all very good and well that some forum users can build stacked teams than fully plan out strategies and contingencies with ...

Luft's Panther comes late game where armor has pershings.. HE shermans surprise nobody, not even casua...

No. Bunkers cost 550MP (which is a shitload of resources) and take long time to build and after you are done building, it still ne...

Balance isn't the issue here. It's that the damage model is seemingly inconsistent. 20 MM severely damages the SP but leaves the Pershing untouched? Not very intuitive.

Re: General discussion on the recent balance

it in such high numbers, is rather insane. 1 US doc, already has as much specialized inf as ALL other Axis doctrines!!! Having to overwhelm with quantity is a massive disadvantage in CoH. But as always Axis main players write this off as a non concern. First off, the micromanagement overhead which ...

Re: Demo charges vs bunkers

3 charges is needed to destroy a bunker, not 20, if you need more than 3 charges it means that we need to fix it.
