[1.11] The Katyusha-spam problem [KI] (bug/balance issue)
« on: June 14, 2010, 05:40:18 PM »
At the moment we are usually playing against russian KI all the time we play CoH.

Playing more and more, it was pretty much funny but if the russian pick the propaganda doctrine they simply fuck up.

The very ONLY thing they do all the day is THAT:



and THAT is just annoying after all. -_-
Its not only freakin boring to have only one kind of vehicle to destroy, it also destroys the whole feeling and balance playing against the russians.

Its not really a balance problem, its moreover a "problem which seriously affects balance and feeling" - problem.


Really that isnt fun anymore.
-> playing against a urban doctrine simliar things will happen with the KV-2 in the main role.

The only doc which works well atm is the breakthrough.



Regards,

the AI seems to suicide rush artillery such as katyushas and even calliopes.

Yea thats the biggest problem. First of all you get serious problem in mid game with 3-5 kats fireing at the same time at your inf. but with some AT you take them out with ease.

Thats soo boring  >:(

Very sad.

Well I play as the russians and I can't say that i'm that stupid with my katyusha's ;)
This is really more of an AI bug than a "problem which seriously affects balance and feeling". I suppose until it is fixed, if you want that feeling and balance, you can verse a human playing as the Russians.

Unless of course they're stupid and suicide spam katyushas as well, in which case i apologize

in my opinion, the patch made the russians too underpowered. especially with the cap on the conscripts, firebase, and katyushas.

Isn't this bug related to the one where the production gets stuck if you are also upgrading the same unit at the armory?
I was playing on Tannenberg as the Soviets with Expert AI Soviet partner against 2 Expert Wehr/PE combo. Just as we were on the edge of the Germans bases my AI partner started producing only command squad, inges, partisans, KV-2 and the occassional Sniper Ace because the production qeues in all the other buildings was stuck. I tried destroying them but the AI never bothered to re-build them and we got pushed all the way back to our bases.  :'(

The funny and hard game usually ends when they start to *(f)bug(k)-up*.
Kat spamers are even weaker, u just need 1 heavy tank to destroy everything he has   ::)

This problem is certainly not limited to the Soviets. All factions have this where they spam whatever callin is available to them. Infantry will spam rangers, Luft will spam falls etc. It sucks when you're winning in a 2v2AT against allied bullshit and your ally drops and leaves you with a crap com.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
