Company of heroes V.1 : THIS IS NOT AS KINDER PARTY - Games

[img]http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/gg410/Mr_Someguy/relic00023.jpg[/img] [editline]20th January 2011[/editline] I lost my CD-Key though. Shit.

If you bought the game on steam, and need a CD key to enter, you can enter the CD key of your steam bought version.

[QUOTE=TrouserDemon;27538902]If you bought the game on steam, and need a CD key to enter, you can enter the CD key of your steam bought version.[/QUOTE] I bought it before it was on steam, all 3 (CoH, OF, ToV). [editline]20th January 2011[/editline] I have my ToV key, but that's it.

That should work. Mine did.

I will try it.

[QUOTE=Amsay;27526061]What does blitzkrieg actually add to coh?[/QUOTE] Best thing it adds is a better, more realistic damage system. Other then that it adds tons of new units and huge doctorine trees. I never touched vanilla CoH again after installing Blitzkrieg.

Does it work with the steam version?

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;27538995]I will try it.[/QUOTE] If anything I think I have a gold edition CD-key that I might be able to give you free of charge. [QUOTE=Amsay;27540503]Does it work with the steam version?[/QUOTE] Yes. After you have installed it in the right directory which the installer should automatically locate but you'll need to verify, input these commands in the set launch options menu for whichever CoH game you want to run it on. -dev -nomovies -mod Blitzkrieg Set launch options is located in properties, so right click the game, click properties, then it should be right there. (This is for Blitzkireg obviously)

[QUOTE=Amez;27541056]If anything I think I have a gold edition CD-key that I might be able to give you free of charge.[/QUOTE] Nah it worked, but thanks anyway.

Probably fail at balancing obvious stuff again.

No. I will not allow that to happen. Myself and the top ranked players at gamereplays are working with the devs on the patch, and one guy (a modder) actually goes as far as giving them the code to copy paste. I can say with some certainty that this patch will be better than the current version. Here are the changes to date anyway. Newer patches supercede older ones.

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;27543094]Probably fail at balancing obvious stuff again.[/QUOTE] I severely doubt that, as TrouserDemon stated, this patch is being tested by the community to ensure the best balance this time around.

Putting this out there. Does anyone here use the Staghound for the Brits and or the hotchkiss for the PE and know the game well enough to understand what you're missing out on? For late game units (tier 4) Both of these are pointless, they would fit in the game alot better if they replaced other units Like the staghound for the Stuart, and maybe the hotch for the AT HT (and even then I'd still pick the track over the hotch unless it was considerably cheaper to make in which case i might consider it but the tread breaker is not something you want to miss out on)

I use them sometimes.

Hotchkiss can be ok IF you are against US and they go fast TD. Then you have more durable AT to hold until the marder and it can do decent damage with the upgun. Other than that specific situation though, you want the AT HT. And yeah, the Staghound isn't worth it for the loss of tank vet and accuracy bonuses for Fireflies.

Why did I download the whole game again just to try out the patch that only balanced some things...

My experience with it is basically: Roll Up Get Shot Fire Treadbreaker Get Shot Drive Back Get Shot Explode

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;27548194]Why did I download the whole game again just to try out the patch that only balanced some things...[/QUOTE] Because you care about balance and the feedback and stats you provide by playing will expedite the goal of playable balance.

If you're getting killed by AT guns, which it sounds like from the 3 shots to die, then you got the ATHT too late, and will now need a MHT or just a good infantry push to clear the AT gun out.

Not entirely sure how nobody has managed to notice The Great War mod yet...

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;27548436]I was never able to use the ATHT. My experience with it is basically: Roll Up Get Shot Fire Treadbreaker Get Shot Drive Back Get Shot Explode[/QUOTE] Use to have the same issue (still do to an extent), it's suppose to sneak in during the middle of a fight get the tread breaker off and pull out before you're enemy notices, then swarm said target with at infantry or tanks or call in some arty and kill it and the engys working on it, but the range on it makes it hard to pull off and survive (though i havent played PE for a while so it might have changed), but from what i do remember it's a deadly anti infantry gun when vet'd, in fact it's better at AI than AT from my experience. remember killing a pershing by using a tread breaker, pulled out and sent in a cloaked ketten, waited for moment and called in a barrage from a friendly hummel on it, did not kill it outright but the guy massed a lot of infantry round it which spread themselves across the map nicely indeed, sent in the marder and it was good night vienna. very useful tool in the right hands.

Holy shit the Great War mod looks awesome, where do I get it?

It's not out yet.

Probably why it wasn't mentioned.

[QUOTE=Amez;27549135]I usually have one or two snipers picking off the annoying AT crews before they get a chance to hit my ATHT.[/QUOTE] But Snipers are Wehrmacht and ATHT's are Panzer Elite :raise:

Wow that Great War mod looks pretty nice. What is the gun that the English Trench Raiders use? Looks like a sawed off Lee Enfield.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;27549363]But Snipers are Wehrmacht and ATHT's are Panzer Elite :raise:[/QUOTE] He is probably talking about gewher squads.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;27549466]Wow that Great War mod looks pretty nice. What is the gun that the English Trench Raiders use? Looks like a sawed off Lee Enfield.[/QUOTE] Sawed-off pump-action shotguns.

SMG's should decimate infantry in cover / trenches at close range. After all, that's what they were designed to do. I was disappointed that in OF a squad of StG44 Stormtroopers were useless against British slit trenches.
