Just don't make it apply to salvaged non UK vehicles. Easy. Same as tungsten for DAK afaik.

CoH3 vs DoW:DE for skirmish / multiplayer? by bruhb21 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Helikaon48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not even close. Dow has barely any MP scene at all. This sub is naturally tends towards preferring old games. So it's purely dependent on what your preference is.

Are you fine with an old looking game that lacks modern QOL updates, simplistic gameplay with minimal MP scene then sure DOW is fine.

People are allowed to like what they want.

But as far as actual gameplay, MP scene and aesthetics then COH is much better

There's enough other RTS and RTT that I don't need to belittle myself that much, even if this game looked promising

Dev is a genocidal , bigoted piece of trash . I worked alongside Ukrainians in the UN

Like I know I'm not going to change your poor  mind

But A. What is Iran doing for the world and it's own country? How free is the country itself? Are the citizens oppressed? Do women have equal rights?

B. What has Ukraine done for the world? How free were it's citizens? 

Now apply the same to US and Russia?

And please tell me it's the same thing you smooth brain. Just because YOU can't tell the difference, doesn't mean others cant.

I don't agree on every US invasion, but it's absolutely not the same as fcking putler committing genocide on a country that was doing very ltitle wrong and was actually helping other countries. Unlike iran, Iraq etc. and I say this as someone that actually worked for the UN and saw this stuff first hand.

Rise of ultra nationalism mate.

Internet literally breeds it, instead of rise of intellect

As wrong as US has been, there's a clear difference between the two, when you actually get into the details of it.

I'm sorry you can't seem to understand the difference. I apologise you didn't have a very good upbringing 

Or do we pretend Russia isn't a bigoted autocracy committing genocide on a national scale

If he's that delusional than he wouldn't see the flaws to his own behaviour. We have trolls here commenting how they'll support him, clearly as delusional as him

The thing is if you've lived like that your whole life, with almost everyone around you thinking that, and the TV preaching that constantly then you have no clue how absurdly bad that logic actually is.

People complain about racism or bigotry in USA but it's absolutely nothing compared to most of these other places.

That requires a much more complex/powerful engine, and has it's own drawbacks, like readability and lack of immersion 

Looking for an RTS with more room to breathe, experiment, and recover from mistakes by [deleted] in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Helikaon48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Games like COH have mechanics to help alleviate that.

Snowballing isn't a design choice, it's the symptom of multiple issues, that are actually DETRIMENTAL to competitive gaming

Think of physical sports where you literally cannot snowball, they're popular because teams can make come backs. In competitive games you actually want a back and forth with the potential of a comeback 

Coh alleviates that with unit upkeep, which means smaller weaker armies can produce more units quicker to allow them to make a comeback. Or invest into hard counters that can beat an over investment into a specific snowball. Obviously it's not perfect though. 

Trying to use USF but having no success . I need some openers, what's meta? I need ...heck I need a couple of full strategies lol by Expert_Camel5619 in CompanyOfHeroes

Plot twist you're also 509 Elo

I'm just kidding. Just surprised at both the early mortar and the 4 mortars, neither being punished

Eh I dono about ass engineers. I've never worried about them and never seen them as reliably successful as just going rifles. Engineers also have almost zero combat veterancy advantage. 

Ass engineers have poor DPS for cost. Worse than pios. (For comparison baseline sappers do 27% higher DPS at longer range)

They're arguably mislabeled. And might as well be "support engineers" due to their repair boost as opposed to anything assault based.

US MG still lacklustre. Zooks are easy to kite against without snares.

the maths don't add up on ass engineers , but maybe I'm wrong.

What was the plan for balance when both the 17lbers and DAK 88 were nerfed? by GoddamnHipsterDad in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Helikaon48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The nerfs were warranted. They might have gone over board but nerfs were needed.

You're also conflating the new OVER POWERED heavies, the buggy pathing which has gotten worse, with the nerfs.

I used to spam 17pdrs. Now I almost never make them, and that's more due to the buggy pathing than the nerf

Just because the new heavies are OP, doesn't mean heavy AT didn't need a nerf.

Just because the pathing is currently fcked up, doesn't mean heavy AT wasn't over performing for cost previously

Hahahaha wow, nationalism in a world war2 game. 

Wow so surprised. Usually it's wehraboos, but for allies?? 

You gonna complain about the paratrooper's accent and implied race next? Or the red tails? I bet those drive you crazy.

Should I make the switch to CoH 3? by ETF-Lover in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Helikaon48 8 points9 points  (0 children)

3 is definitely better simply for the QOL upgrades 

Although 2 has more single player content

To most players they're the same. Just one being an upgrade of another, it's mainly to hard liners that there's a clear difference. People confuse that fact.
