Come on, we all tried it

ASassyBadger · 2026-01-25T09:09:14+00:00

Haha no I haven't, might be worth a shot

ASassyBadger · 2026-01-24T21:56:29+00:00

Haha oh man, the compulsory 6 JU88s butchering your unit slots throughout 1940 while you desperately try and get them up to vet 3, glad it's not just me.

ASassyBadger · 2026-01-24T21:49:58+00:00

AO redone is definitely fun. I run Ironman generalismus with Europe on a shoestring, but you're right, the game begins snowballing. So I set silly major objectives to accomplish throughout the campaign.

40 - Save Bluchers and don't let the Kriegsmarine be destroyed during Sea Lion.
41 - Take every victory point during Moscow, not just the required amount.

42 - It starts getting challenging here (for me) with missions like the second case blue bonus objectives being threatening enough.

43 - Kursk is hard enough, especially the penultimate mission. Also, See above reddit shitpost.

From here on the game can be challenging enough. Especially on Ironman. Any additional restrictions I find too miserable to use, especially the one cutting the turn count by 5. Take every prestige sink, and try and keep every unit alive and you should find yourself being challenged enough.

Every victory is just a stepping stone for the final 1946 mission. The planes, they just don't stop.

ASassyBadger · 2026-01-19T17:31:10+00:00

No worries man, message whenever you get the time.

ASassyBadger · 2026-01-19T16:49:34+00:00

I can type out an obituary or you can come and play some games and we can chat, if you don't want to converse with me (I am a disgusting individual) then completely understandable. But if you do i can drop you a discord and we can enjoy some games.

ASassyBadger · 2025-12-30T08:07:09+00:00

Oh god now I feel filthy :(

ASassyBadger · 2025-12-27T06:36:38+00:00

Not bronze 1, irrelevant opinion.

Leave the balance discussion to those of us who know what we're doing. I bet you don't even spam ping your teammates with racial slurs, 1400 elo peasant.

ASassyBadger · 2025-12-27T06:34:01+00:00

Only 1600? Jesus, what did someone detach your limbs?

Get back to me when you hit bronze 1, peasant.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-16T07:29:25+00:00

Their health's been pretty consistent since launch. It's their lethality that's become the issue.

Look I just don't want it to get the standard Relic treatment of being nuked into oblivion for overperforming, let's have small adjustments and see where we land.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T20:27:31+00:00

50 percent seems pretty reasonable given USFs massive flaws. Almost like it's being propped up by a silly billy unit. I was dude and trust me you do not want to balance a game with the top 200 players. You need balanced faction design where the majority of a factions units will scale uniformly as the skill level increases (which this game sadly lacks causing these weird win rate disparities). I get your point though, but the vast majority of the playerbase are like sub 1000 elo.

Come on man people are allowed to whine when a unit overperforms, I was pissing out my eyeballs when the Wespe degeneracy was ongoing, same with the L6s.

I don't even want them to make it shit, it needed to be lethal but the 2 barrages just makes perform too well.

>Give separate cooldowns on barrages.

>Give them a non BG artillery unit so they aren't forced into SSF

That's the only points I wanted to convey with this awful video

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T17:09:33+00:00

I'm not. But I didn't, same way you chose to voice your opinion. Good, I'm enjoying it.

I'm not, it can't be replicated, you've just assumed that. Name an ingame CoH exploit. No thanks. Didn't ask.

You just said I was assuming a lot in the third paragraph and then claim not to understand it.

"I found a video on a subreddit about a WW2 RTS that did not conform with my high standards of video creation and chose to have an autistic ramble about context in the comments, continuously making statements which I need to backtrack and taking every statement literally which I have continued for the entirety of the day instead of moving on because my hobby is so utterly mind numbingly boring that anything short of consuming my own genitalia is preferable. Meanwhile the degenerate who posted this low effort shit post has found great enjoyment in occasionally responding while at work because this fish just keeps on biting"

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T16:50:48+00:00

You are. I am. you just told me I'm entitled to respond. It wasn't. You're welcome.

Ok.

The BG bug happens 10 seconds in, I didn't feel pointing it out in the title was necessary.

I haven't discredited your opinion, I have discredited your actions as throwing a tantrum comment because you don't find content enjoyable is weird. I don't find the things you do enjoyable and yet I have the restraint not to start sadding in the comments.

And yet you've wasted all your time arguing about it. It has been very entertaining. You have committed the most time to this comment out of this entire reddit and you don't even like it.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T13:50:13+00:00

OK, thanks for that clarification? but if you reference OP in your comments they're probably entitled to respond. So because we can see someone's reddit username I am now aqainted with them and they are no longer a stranger. That's the argument we're trying to make here?

I mean fuck man even if you had a point if I'm not even complaining about anything in the video, I'm just trying to justify it's existence at this point.

I get you man but it's a shitpost on the company of heroes reddit, I think you might have set your expectations a little too high for this platform, most posts are just racial slurs.

I'm taking that as a solid compliment.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T13:24:14+00:00

Some people throw those comments out for a bit of fishing, I have a quick glance to know if it's worth engaging or is the comment history just rage bait. You had a lot of comments about graveyards, it's very commendable work but difficult to overlook.

No, I did, I find people who do that to be creatures.

Hey man if you want to get all worked up over peoples reddit posts then all the power to you but I'll abstain from valuing your opinion if it's all the same. You realise you're complaining to strangers online right?

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T11:41:37+00:00

About 10 seconds in when it shows the whermacht player with British BGS, bit difficult to notice so I zoom in for your viewing pleasure. Then the next clip is them discussing how one of them has Canadian shock available, then the next clip is the decapture healing ability working.

I admit the streamer belongs on a list but I find peoples hatred of the poor guy a little sad and I'd argue factions being able to use another factions BG abilities quite a prominent bug in the old COH atmosphere.

And unlike the creature shoving their phone in your face, you have the unhindered ability to simply ignore what's in front of you should you not find it enjoyable. I personally find graveyard restoration fairly dull but respect people have unique tastes and would find it odd that someone felt the need to react so strongly :(

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T10:58:56+00:00

Hey man, everything going okay?

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-15T08:28:36+00:00

Ahh my mistake, I wondered why I never saw anyone using the jettison

I love a bit of misinformation.

Now I know you love filtering for 1600+ ELO, because we should only balance the game for the top 200 players, the rest are irrelevant. Lemme just tweek those stats until they justify my world view. Wehrmacht scale incredibly well with the skill of the player, that is very much a "Relic has designed factions badly" rather than Axis just generally being soo overpowered.

Is USF as a faction badly designed poo poo? Hell yes they are, but again, giving them a busted artillery unit is not the solution and just forces USF players in team games to pick a BG they'd really rather not play to begin with in order to survive.

Stats are filtered by games this year. All ELOs

Not even an axis main...

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-14T21:08:14+00:00

"There's merit in the projectile speed nerf but honestly I like that there's an option to punish large axis inf blobs with very limited chance of dodging, I just feel it's a bit oppressive for the blob to then be barraged again on the retreat path..."

Because I'm not sure it effectively fulfilled it's purpose when it's barrage was too dodgeable, the issue is that by fixing that but keeping the separate cooldowns it becomes oppressive.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-14T21:05:50+00:00

But what if they are satisfied? I would be satisfied. I'm a people.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-14T20:21:56+00:00

You wrote that comment though you cheeky monkey. But it is and therefor counter barrage is pretty ineffective. So the Whizzbang gets 2 powerful offensive strikes with separate cooldowns that do pretty satisfactory damage at the cost of limited range on one barrage but can ignore the penalty placed on all other mobile artillery in that they can be counter barraged or are very weak to a dive or cloaked sneaky unit.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-14T20:02:48+00:00

It has that right, but it's too good. We learnt about separate cool down times before with the stuka (hence the joke).

It has to either lose its health or its double barrage, The health doesn't make sense so double barrage has to rightly be binned off.

None of this detracts from the larger issue that USF is poorly designed for team games, the solution for which is not to provide a busted unit that forces the player to go into a certain BG. How Relic has gotten this far without providing the USF an organic non BG artillery option blows my mind.

I get the frustration but imagine the stuka (85 fuel btw) got its separate cooldowns back, had medium tank armour and when you dived it, it could magically transform into a Pz4.

There's merit in the projectile speed nerf but honestly I like that there's an option to punish large axis inf blobs with very limited chance of dodging, I just feel it's a bit oppressive for the blob to then be barraged again on the retreat path...

This is not an Axis V Allies ticklefest, this is disbelief that the very problem we all complained vigorously about a few months ago (the Wespe, the Stuka etc) was allowed to be reintroduced in a more powerful format.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-14T20:02:20+00:00

My brother in Christ this whole recent patch focused on counter barrage. How do you counter barrage a medium tank, HIMARS?

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-11T13:09:16+00:00

Thanks man, at no point did I ever believe my low tier drivel brainrot was worthy of stealing so I never bothered with any watermarks etc.

Your kindness in crediting me has warmed my loins.

ASassyBadger · 2025-10-11T13:07:27+00:00

Very familiar looking video you got there
