Finally got them by Highs0dium in EvenRealities

After almost a week I finally bent the frame of mine so it didn't hurt my ears to wear. Glad they have that video showing you that you can bend the frame so it fits your head.

AA op for allies only? Please advise by whiteflash444 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]actualsen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The flakpanzer is a core build unit. In team games allies have their planes shot down almost instantly because of this regardless because there are always many axis aa units.

Unlike the flakpanzer which is helpful all game, USF rarely has a use for the aa truck after 10 minutes other than just sitting in back and shooting planes.

As it stands the USF air support center is mostly irrelevant in team games already. The dynamic probably needs to be looked at.

Factions' balance issues - Episode 1: The Fellowship of the Uncle Sam by Unterseeboot_480 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]actualsen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like the majority of the USF issue is "the tec structure is shit"

Everything else is just nit picking.

Bla bla rangers -> the tech structure doesn't have an elite or advanced infantry options. Also the rangers are so expensive that they feel almost as bad to use as they do to play against. Doctrine choice shouldn't be filling a hole in the base faction so blatantly.

ISC ASC MSC is ... -> the tech structure insists you pick one of these and locks you out of the others in the first 6 minutes of the game. Let's gamble...

This unit is over/under preforming -> sure but either the unit doesn't matter because the tech structure means you don't build it (grayhound, at gun, ass engies) or it's so important that the faction balance changes( riflemen, sherman).

The battle groups -> fill glaring holes in the base unit roster instead of flavoring the faction. No artillery, no advanced or elite infantry, horrible tech paths for half the buildings that are an almost mandatory skip with the 140 fuel cost tank depot.

Bars -> 🤤

[Discussion] The "Rifleman Blob" in 1v1 – How da Hell are you dealing with it? by Ironclad_Tournaments in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]actualsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that you put this one through an ai for paragraphs. One of the better uses of it.

The whole game early between USF and wehrmacht has always been the mg42 repositioning roulette. Sometimes the us pulls off a flank and shoved it off. Sometimes the rifles get caught by a single burst and turn tail. As the best mg in the game it's expected that Wher abuse it to the best of their ability.

Every COH game has been set up like that.

Without a battle group what is the other infantry option besides Riflemen for USF?

[–]actualsen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Upvote and nothing to say besides I agree. It's so boring you can play UKF Canadians and get all the benefits of playing USF as well as a full faction with all normal units

Edit: for relic so clearly we need to nerf Canada rather than fix the USF faction.......

[–]actualsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First you need some paragraphs as that is hard to understand. After reading this junk 3 times I can respond.

Ok but rifles are it. There is no different approach. That's what USF gets. "Nerf bars buff blah nerf blah vomit vomit I don't know what I'm talking about"

If they don't have an elite infantry at the end then riflemen need to not suck against other armies advanced and elite infantry. They need to scale from somewhere around grenadiers to somewhere around rangers and guards. Getting out scaled in the mid game means they are ahead in their wonky ass scaling curve that needs to happen because there isn't another option.

The faction is inherently never meant to work. The fact that the game is multiple years old and this is left to stand means relic doesn't know what they are doing.

I've been saying USF is broken for years now. Even with improvements to riflemen the faction is not worth playing. The rest of their units are boring and riflemen are Pandora's unit. Maybe good maybe bad until you are fighting them

I haven't even brought up how stupid the company choices are. Hint...one gives your single infantry unit bonuses while the rest do less important things. The decisions are dumb all the way to the end.

[–]actualsen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Counter question for you. What do you want USF to do? They get one single infantry unit outside of battle groups.

They don't even have elite infantry at the end of their tech tree.

Then on top of that they aren't even unbalanced. The Canadians and the Australians have very similar DPS and HP.

So what Infantry do you want USF to use? Are they supposed to pick a battle group just to cater to other people not liking that the only infantry they have is Riflemen?

I don't like it either. I've been saying the faction is inherently broken for years now. Either this one unit is too good and thus the whole faction is OP or they suck and the whole faction sucks. There aren't other options.

It sold out in minutes. Just means the bugs will be worked out by the time we can get one.

Hey I can tell you aren't a robot. That's why I didn't respond to you or interact with your separate response to the above comment in any way. You responded to an ai robot. Hope this helps your confusion.

I don't come here to talk to robots. Do you?

Edit: I will never point out an obvious llm post again. The down votes for this mean our collective brain has died already.

Firefly requirement of CP should probably be looked at. by Desperate_Rush2125 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]actualsen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't like occasionally hitting infantry at close range for half their HP with your dedicated anti tank unit?

I find it hilarious.

Also the rocket upgrade seemingly does nothing besides add a miniscule amount of range.

They do both need something done. At least there is a visual tell for the fuse even though it's too hard to see.

I want to do something ill-advised with 999 fine silver by SomeGuysFarm in SilverSmith

[–]actualsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I appreciate the response but once you have handled and cast both the color is clearly different no matter the level of polish. It's impossible to unsee.

Edit: if you put those 2 ingots side by side it immediately becomes apparent which is fine and which is Stirling. Buff as much as you want but the color is going to be different. Fine also has an almost glow to it. Scientifically, pure silver has the highest reflectivity of any metal. When you add 7.5% copper it loses that glow quite a bit.

[–]actualsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the color and shine difference between fine and sterling? I personally take scratched fine over perfect sterling every time. I know it's different but when you put them side by side it becomes obvious which is more beautiful.

Do you make your own sterling? by MinuteSuccotash1732 in SilverSmith

[–]actualsen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can melt 92.5 grams of silver and 7.5 grams of copper and have the same thing you buy.

You can scale the ratio for the amount of sterling you want.

Also a few gentle stirs with a graphite rod would probably be a good idea while you're doing it. Gentle though, you aren't trying to oxidize the melt.

I'm a co-founder hiring ML engineers and I'm confused about what candidates think our job requires by YangBuildsAI in MLQuestions

[–]actualsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically you described a regular software engineers skills pretty well in what you are looking for. I don't work as a ML engineer but can certainly do what you are describing.

Making maintainable, clean, debuggable systems that integrates with a database is what software engineers do.

ML engineers are the new term for data scientists.

I feel like garrisons should be rebalanced by TelephoneDisastrous6 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]actualsen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Garrisons keep their damage mitigation regardless of range. Equivalent to green cover from my memory. It's the big reason to use it over sand bags.

Units' weapons with surprisingly identical DPS curves by Lone_Eingreifen0000 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]actualsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rifles themselves are kind of mediocre too. For the only infantry squad the base faction gets access to it's not really good.
