Ostheer Artillery: 105mm, Panzerwerfer

Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2015, 05:37 AMPorygon

LefH18 when it was good, was completely fine, and now they nerfed it into a total shit.

May the RNGgod smile at you let that LefH18 vet into vet 1 then it has some use, but god knows how hard it is.

When did those NOT hurting your brain?
This guy fanatically biased to Allies, posting shit like 24/7.

I seriously protest against the mod permanently banned lolcake but not him, they simply have no difference except their biased target.

I guess relic got tired of players just spamming artillery to the enemy HQ....

"105mm Howitzer"

These changes reduce the viability of artillery saturation on the opposing player’s base. Additionally, howitzers should feel more organic with the changes to reload.
Reload time from 2.75 to 2.25-2.75
Shots fired per barrage from 12 to 6
Crew size from 3 to 4
*****************************************************************************
"152mm Howitzer"

These changes reduce the viability of artillery saturation on the opposing player’s base. Additionally, howitzers should feel more organic with the changes to reload.
Shots fired per barrage from 8 to 4
Reload time from 3 to 2.8-3.2
Barrage recharge time from 120s to 90s
Crew size from 3 to 4

Easy fix = unallow barrage in the base, but better render arty useless am i right ?

If

unallow arty barrage on base

Howitzers being able to move around is a good idea independent of the Stuka strike/AT strafe. It would make them a lot more viable.

I agree, Ostheer deserves best or second best in class in every ingame unit category. Wehrmacht was the finest fighting force of the war.

At least Ost doesn't have to be worried about allied players insta countering it with 2 clicks with most popular doctrines and soviet bombing runs are not guaranteed kills anymore on static emplacements.

Both howis could use a bit shorter cooldowns as well.

This. Weak arty is good for the game.

Deploy OKW truck outside your base ? high risk high reward

Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2015, 11:48 AMJohnnyB

Then why in the name of Hades it's A TRUCK and it's MOBILE? To be deployed inside the base?!?
The level of logic in these forums is astounding.

With only 80 penetration at range and a range of 40, it can be tough to get them vet in anything above a 2v2. I hadn't noticed the reload, but then didn't use them much anyway.

I did have someone use a couple of them against me in a 1v1. They still die to JP4, raketen and shreks fast. Having someone shoot B4 at Panzer Schwerer can be somewhat worrisome, but, in that game on Semoisky, it didn't actually hit anything.

No.

then what do you use to counter static arty spam anymore? Tank rush?

Outside of base sector for FHQ and free area denial, but together with the risks involved or inside base sector, like other armies, still with free benefits, but with no disadvantage?

Deploying your medic truck in the base sector is a great idea if you like having 0 map control and losing the game.

I very rarely deploy my medic truck outside of my base, yet OKW is my highest ranking faction. Fuck me, right?
