General Discussion / Re: Only problem I have with the soviets

The only problem is that's exactly how the soviets won the war, manpower.

I tried again tonight with my brother on duclair against 2 hard soviets, and we couldn't do it. His computer ended up crapping out and screwing his RAM over lol.

"Hell, try it 1 on 1 Lyon. ANYONE that can beat a Hard or Expert soviet on that map I'll give you $50 via Paypal lol."

It was never mentioned HOW it had to be done. There were no rules posted etc. No, it wasn't exciting. It was extremely boring, but it got the job done. He stated he would pay $50 if it could be done...and I made it so.

The AI will break down if you block off its goals (like the VP's). You lock it out and it's gg.

If you want actual $50, yea I'll make some rules too it lol. And the AI needs to function. Like I said, if my previous posts, I have no problems on maps with choke points. Sure you can block Lyons bridges and the computer say's WTF do I do now ?. I guess Lyon is not the best example. I suppose a better map might be wrecked train as it's more open.

so you're saying you can't fight Russian AIs on open maps?

so far since the 1.04 patch i have been able to beat the Russian AI everytime.

i have played against the hard Russian, once you get used to the new tactics you need to employ against Russia, you have gotten the next 10-15 minutes down set.

now let's say the player dropped, what about your ally you were playing with? Against russians you should immediately think "defensive strategy." you need to be ready for their good ol conscript rush at the start, if you are able to deplete that and keep a good portion of the map for the first 5 minutes, you are set to win.

Hi Narizna, may you play a 1v1 game (open maps, not chokepoints maps like St. Mere) with the Russian AI (hard or expert is fine) and upload that replay? I am interested to see how you survive the initial Russian blob and using the Defensive company.

Thank you.

I would like to see that as well. I don't have my old replay because I never saved it, and I played another game with my brother right after ( Gilroys Harbor ) and beat the AI soviets. Again, Gilroys it is very easy to make a choke point for the soviets where they just keep walking into your MG fire.

Like the General said. Try this on any other Map. Hell, try it 1 on 1 Lyon. ANYONE that can beat a Hard or Expert soviet on that map I'll give you $50 via Paypal lol.

Hi Vargas, [no offence] have you won the AI on expert, namely US, Wehr, PE and Soviets (Brits AI are easier to beat) in 1v1 common maps like Ango, Langres or Semois? These should be quite "open" maps.

Personally I don't frequently win the above expert AI, but it is possible on some occasions. In 2v2 games but with AI team player (expert) -- not human player, I have won 2 Soviets expert AI before. Map played is Wolfeze and Lorianne.

May I ask, when a human player drops in team games, what difficulty skill has the AI when it takes over the human? Is it expert?

Wolfeze is the smallest 2 vs 2 map in the game, and Lorianne is small as well. Try Duclair, Rails and Metal, Lorraine, any of those maps.

I am not sure what my opponent was replaced with, I can only assume it was hard, not quite expert. I couldn't believe all the units I was fighting against though. I hope I can find the replay tonight or tomorrow when I get a chance. Not to mention in the game the computer guy some SERIOUS lucky arty   ( 1 shot taking out an entire Volks squad, and 3 of my grens while they were regrouping, yea bad on my for having them grouped together. )

I can beat an Expert AI on Lyon, Vire, Scheldt, pretty much any map you can funnel him. Tank trap and sandbag the bridges, get 3 quick MG's down the middle and it's pretty much good game till you get a force to push through. However on an open large map, you just can't account all of your troops for what the soviets get to cap. It's not a lack of micromanagement. It's the fact that he simply has more, and his troops last longer. That's a downhill game.

As I'm a fair and open minded guy and we 'd like to make sure we get things done the right way.... tell you what Vargas, we now have a replay section, so why not post that game so we can see how/why it went wrong.

From your description...
Only 1 guy dropped so you only faced one AI opponent with a beaten army and a second 'Human opponent' which had at that time a beaten army as well...facing two 'GOOD human players
And you're saying that one AI opponent with a 'crapy' Human ally at THAT moment in the game managed to turn everything around....and as they say in GR 'replay or it didn't happen' ;D

I don't believe I saved the replay, I'll check when I get home, Im at work right now. If I still have it I have no problems uploading it !.

vargas, complaining you cant beat the computer (weather it is difficult to achieve or not) says nothing about the game, try playing against good PEOPLE and i assure you, not only will you learn more and have more fun but youll get better at coh to, so when you get good youll be able to beat 2 hard comps on duclair w vp on....and with VP on is how the game is supposed to be played, VP ON NORMAL RESOURCES.

So... are you a good player ?. Can you and a friend beat duclair on hard against 2 soviets, and please upload a replay and show me how it's done ?. Did you not read that I am a level 15 RANKED Wehr player 1 on 1 , and level 12 PE RANKED 1 vs 1 ?. I think that alone speaks for my skill level. I am NOT a scrub player. I have NO problem beating other players. The problem I am complaining about is an overpowered AI that steps in " IF " someone drops in an online game.

As soon as someone beats them, and posts it, I will give you 100% applause and look up to you.

I have no problem beating the AI on Expert in regular CoH buddy. I however cannot beat the AI on an open map on hard. Put me on a map with choke points like Scheldt, Vire or Lyon and it's easy. However on a wide open map, where 90% of your battles online are going to take place, you just can't account for the soviets AI micromanagement and income. Now that's all fine, it's just the AI you say, so what's so big about that.  Well it becomes a damn big issue when people drop because of lag / shitty computers / running out of time / any other issues. Then you are paired against an opponent that has every advantage against you. Am I going to play chess against an opponent that has 5 more of every piece ?. Screw that. I like the advanced AI when I play them under my own settings, on a map of my choosing. However now Im more afraid of the opponent dropping and facing the computer then I am of ANY player.

Agreed, on a map like Vire, Scheldt, or Lyon it's easy, cause you can use choke points and MAKE him go a certain way. It's not possible to survive those opening rushes on a large scale map such as Duclair, Rails and Metal, or anything else with open fields.

ahaaa. Dude how old are you liike 5?
These people took 3 years making this Mod, Unpaid , and your moaning because of the AI. N you call everyone scrubs>?
 ???
You must seriously suck at COH.

Level 15 Wehr Player on Ranked thank you very much. I don't mind a challenge against an A.I. However when I want that challenge against a machine that has more resources then I do, I'll go ahead and load that skirmish up. What is not fair is someone dropping early game, and then having to play against those cheating stats. Are you telling me you wouldn't get pissed of if someone drops 4 mins into the game, and the expert Soviet AI takes over and destroys you and lowers your level and stats ?.

Look at the " I think the AI just got better... " thread. Im not the only person bitching about this.

Again, I'd like to see anyone upload a replay of them beating 2 hard Soviets on Duclair via VP. If that CAN'T be done, guess what developers, you got a problem with your MOD.

I give props to the improved AI, however it's not fair at all if you are doing anything above a 2 vs 2 and a player drops. On a large map with no choke points, it is impossible to outcap a computer controlled soviet player. Since they need no tech tree, with advanced income, tanks become available WAY to fast. Skirmishes are fun, and if you lose, no biggie, however when it's a player that drops and the advanced AI takes over with resource bonuses, it's ridiculous.

Let's see ANY of you scrubs upload a replay of you and your friend beating 2 Hard Soviet computer players on Duclair via VP. I'd love to see it happen. Unfortunately no one here could do it. So get off your fuckin high horse.

Could you please just balance the soviets and the AI. All your opponent needs to do, is have there partner  pick soviets and drop, and it's game over once the computer takes over.

I went against 2 level 4 scrubs with skirmishes of 200 wins and 400 losses. One of them dropped 4 mins into the game as me and my ally owned his soviet troops. 10 mins later, we were pretty much overrun by the entire soviet guy that dropped. His partner, the other human player, only had about 20 kills, by the end of it, showing you how useless he was. The computer on the other hand caps EVERYTHING. Not being able to retreat is godsent to these mother fuckers. They escape with one guy and thats all they need to cap everything. We were playing Duclair, and had top fuel point and bottom fuel point. However SOMEHOW the computer built a fuckin Firepit, a Tank Hall, and 3 tanks ALL within about 10 mins, with NO fuel  ( plus remember they can't cap what fuel they had anyway ). So the computer OBVIOUSLY cheats.

Im a level 15 Wehr Player, and level 12 PE ranked. So I know exactly what Im doing, as does my partner on Duclair. Please, fix this bullshit for the rest of the people. Im going back to regular CoH.

I figured as much, was not sure if they were working on them along the same timeline as the Russian faction.

Thanks for the prompt reply gentleman !.

Just as the topic says mates. When can we expect the Ostheer as a playable faction. Any time lines or guesstimates ?
