The Brummbar

Well, its more about synergy. Brummbar as first tank will suck but when you combine it with AT, its amazing. It denies infantry with at nades, it can deny at guns etc. Brummbar+Panther is better option than 2 Panthers.

In my opinion Brummbär does NOT need any buffs atm as it is a very strong AI tank that is capable of of clearing defensive position at ease (which also in real life was the job of a Sturmpanzer).

There is just no place for it because of the Call-In Meta. Tech to T4 and Build a Brummbär? That's simply not worth. It is better to tech to T3 for an Ostwind instead and wait for a Tiger.

I find this really sad as the Brummbär was the first tank I thought 'Wow what a cool thing' when playing CoH2 Alpha.

First thing Brummbar needs is to be able to FACE ITS ENEMY and be able to BACK UP STRAIGHT. Brummbar is perfect counter to rifle spam ( and ost ) but it dies instantly to any TD cuz it can move backwards! Most frustrating 560mp 160 fuel unit in the game.

Use reverse.

UP Brummbar once again. This time in random 2v2 as a first tank.

Guards blobs who?

its pretty solidly capable of dealing with blobs tbh. I don't see the problem with it, apart from its tier but thats a whole other issue

Reverse gets stuck on everything. thats what this thread is about

Rank 8k+ and rank 20k+ enemies, the latter even has ranks up to 40k.
No offense, but that's like playing vs. easy AI.



Pretty much my thought. Okay, asides from the insane kill amount it needs to vet up, it's a decent unit. But by the time i could get it i will have other problems than the enemy infantry.

Random, what can I say...But it does not change the fact that Brummbar was very accurate, effective and useful. I had a AT game vs some AT Asian blobber and I did same thing. (they were about 800 as AT team) and again, brummbar was pure killing machine.

Yes, turning does count as moving. It's why spotting scopes are such a pain on units such as StuGs which always shuts them off when they spot something at 50 meters.

Should also get hold-fire in addition to pathing needed by all fixed gun vehicles. Brummbars need to be able to save that shot given their long reload.

All vehicles should have hold-fire and all medium-heavy tanks should have priortize buttons.

Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2015, 09:38 AMsamich

all vehicles capable of damaging enemy vehicles should have a prioritize vehicle button. Its so annoying when i'm trying to run down a stukka with a stuart and it starts spinning its turret to try and hit some retreating volks squad.

There are examples of good players going tier4 against other good players. Its a bit of an exaggeration to say it can't be done, it can and is. I do agree that its overly prohibitive but its not as bad as its made out on here and to be honest i'd rather see the teching of the wf armies changed then the vanilla factions.
