Seriously. Why don't disable the tank even longer? Like 10 minutes would be great. And the vehicle should be completely immobile. Oh, wait... it nearly is. Remember the time in vcoh when you always could save your tanks if you have good micro? Well, not in CoH 2. 1 Click and the fate of your tank is decided.

Give PTRS 170 penetration and you can take button away right away.

But you obviously don't want that, do you?

Use IWIN tank smoke.

In CoH1 Brits have button too. Also, in CoH1 yankee and brits have some bazookas, in coh2 soviets have only shitty PTRS. And also in coh2 you can get commander with smoke for tanks. So no reason to cry

I do agree that with Soviet tanks being stronger Guards "button" ability should be reworked.
I was going to open a topic about this myself.

I think button is fine and don't really struggle with it, its doctrinal and has doctrinal direct counters in smoke. It costs a reasonable amount of munis and requires an upgrade turning your guards into those treasure goblins out of D3.

Yes soviet tanks are now better but lets be honest this was desperately needed in any-case.

I think guards would be alot less useful in the late game without button and don't see it as that op, if you charge your tank into combined arms you should be punished just like charging soviet tanks into fausts (which almost always engine damage) and stun shots from paks/stugs. Also if your on the edge of the button its quite easy to just drive back out, charge up to a guard squad point blank when you know there are zis or other AT about is your own fault.

Button is best way to counter scout car spam I find, as it should be for the muni/mp cost and dedicated doctrine choice.

+ no shreks.

You are talking about Target Weak Point right?

You think this is bad, you should have seen it in CoH1. It was essentially "Make Hans the Tank Driver take a coffee break in the middle of the battlefield" button.

As a consequence the CoH2 button feels too weak and too short for me. Objectively that is not the case, of course, because antitank combat is much faster and more punishing, but some habits die hard.

Dear OP,

Which would you rather have in your arsenal?

Non-doctrinal panzerschrecks? or doctrinal guard PTRS w/ 75MU upgrade to unlock button and pay MU every time you use it.

Its simple. PROTECT YOUR TANKS.

Do not send them marourdering accorss the map like in vcoh a sherman going on its summer holidays into enemy territory when it hits the field.

Be conservative with tanks, cover with inf, and Guards will have a really tough time being able to use button.

If they killed you with Guards (doctrinal troops), plus and ATG or tank, well my friend, they used combined arms to kill one unit. Where was your combined arms?

Did your opponent force you to drive into button range? No.

Switch factions. Abuse the alleged OP'ness. Enjoy life.

This ability is not OP but can be very helpful if you use it one by one by two guards squads. But still you have to bring some AT units to make use of it.
Just finished one guy with this "button" on Pz4 by surprise during blizzard and finish it with SU-85 and ZiS - that was just perfect :D
But still... 75ammo for upgrade and 40 for each use... Why not make it colddown? Now I cant put mines cause all the time I have to have around 80 ammo.

I thought this thread would be about the stun ability of vet1 stugs (target weak point)
