Company of Heroes PC

Post by PanzerMart »

Just wondering if anyone else plays?

I just added a great new mod European theatre 1944 makes the game much more challenging in skirmish modes

I prefer Men of War, I want the ability to aim the tank turrets and PAKs

how about camera angles?
another big detail is range and enemy's health points.
men of war just doesnt let you shoot half way across the map, which I guess is realistic.
But Id like a supersized men of war, like a really big Red Orchestra map where you spend 40 percent of the time getting into position. I kinda want the ability to really test the Tiger's max range. A Tiger's range is like 50m farther than a Sherman or T34s in the game. These things shouldnt be fair.
Im pretty sure there are mods where you can shoot no matter the range, I just dont like how you might be 1m over the max range and it wont fire the cannon

Something else I hate about fairness is how some game makers try to even things out too much, Day of defeat is the best example. Yes it is an arcade-ic game but... the K98 zooms in farther than the M1 Garand, bolt is cycles somewhat faster to make up for the ROF. Then with the M1...you can fire as fast as you click.
Then you got obscure tanks being fielded to match the German King Tiger just for the sake of fairness. When it comes to certain things...yes...the "difference is just an eyelash" or "the man that wins a close quarters fight is usually the one with one more round in his magazine" but....things simply werent fair, thats the way games should be sometimes.
The Germans had quality of over quanitity in technology, little or no air support towards the end, allies had alot of crappy tanks and very good airpower.

rant over

Try the european theatre mod from filefront along with tales of valor youll find things are alot more balanced for example allies can roll tanks out of their motorpools with alarming speed they also have devastating air power talent trees
German tanks take a long time to construct the ranges for each armour piece is accurate as well as the anti tank guns
The unform skins are pretty accurate too

but all these things said you need to remember it is a game not a simulator :)
