You said it's not possible to counter the schwere panzer hq with an AT gun + attack ground because the omnipotent ober blob will hinder any efforts in doing so, at the time a ober blob occurs there are vehicles on the field and tanks inbound so we don't talk about an early game schwere panzer hq anymore. And still combined forces that take care of the obers + the at gun that destroys the schwere panzer hq will succeed.
An over aggressive schwere panzer hq never survives long.
Then you said a pak43 will deny any tank play, but then again it's not minute 8 anymore and you should have Artillery to deal with Pak43 & schwere panzer hq.

And then again, why shouldn't 1000 mp + 80 fuel shouldn't be able to deal with a single at gun backed up by 2 cons?




Please, showe me when I said anything about Pak43, please! :lol: :lol:

Taking down T4 after 20min is not that hard but that's the point. For over 10min fuel is locked down ad whole battle is about allied fuel. It's denying all cut off system.

Try to play little more allies. Against decent opponet, you just can't afford to send at gun and 2-3 aquad to protect this because you are in the middle of the fight for your fuel.
It's all about this. If they strike you with whole blob you should be able to go around for their unsecured fuel but no, fuel is secured with T4.


....


Don't forget about King Tiger.
King Tiger + Pak43 is just broken.
I want doctrine with Tiger and Pak43 for Ostheer!! :lol: :lol:

2x Obers are annoying but 3x Obers you have to counter with vehicles.


I can't imagine many good players build 3 obers!!! and by the time an OKW has 2 obers out there are plenty of ways to counter that. so "no unit" is a bit not right there

Yes with Medium armor that is countered by their buddies the Shrek Carrying Vet5 NeoVolks. Obers are broken. Its a universal truth. 40 more MP then a Sniper much much more power and none of their weaknesses. They can even snipe snipers...

So the OPs main concern is he can't play deny decap game with cheap cons or REchs after flak HQ is set up to defend fuel .... Well that's the faction design adapt and play .. Don't waste time and mp trying to kill it instead focus your battle on your side and win it and when he retreats attack his flak HQ..

The impact of Schwer on recon runs is something I hate in team games. It would be tolerable if the Schwer was some kind of optional thing that is one of many viable choices, but it's something taken by every OKW player in every game mode. Usually as their second truck. This along with base flaks has contributed enormously to the prevalence of planes falling out of the sky.



In 3v3 and 4v4 I have resorted to using Recon Support for the High-Altitude Recon that USF gets. They can't get shot down.

Why does Flak HQ reliably penetrate allied medium?

PQ- "Why shouldnt it?" :guyokay:


Did he really say that? If true...what an *expletive*


Gee Peter, why shouldn't a 37mm flak cannon forward base building destroy everything and then even damage the heaviest non-doctrinal tanks from THE FRONT?

Not only is it illogical (but what's the point in mentioning that, since this game throws logic and history out the window whenever it can) but it also damages the game by reinforcing the heavy-tank callin dependency that is hurting this game. What do we know anyway? We're just players who care and analyze a game we like(d), and they're the "masterminds" behind the dying game.

This company is so damned amateur sometimes.

The truck is fully functional without forward retreat.

I disagree with this. One critical component of COH is the decap/flanking. If an opponent is blobbing I can just simply move off and decap the map, but with the Panzer HQ he can lock me out of territory forcing me to group my forces to take it on. Guess which faction that plays to the strength of?

The unit is too mindless it allows complete control of large sections of the map and requires > 1 minute of dedicated fire from units that it comes out against to damage.

It is literally a no risk high reward unit. And to cap it all its just a tier unlock that can do it for 0 pop!

I can go on about okw faction design that that lacks a non doctrinal suppression uni and so on the bottom line is okw has hard time defending caps if they split up they get cut down.. I play all factions I can tell you that it isn't game breaking for me there are ways to adapt.
