M26 Pershing/Calliope Debate

Jump back to quoted post28 Jul 2015, 23:03 PMSierra

Sorry to be a dick here, but it's not even a "debate" Relic has said straight up that the USF won't be getting the Pershing.

Pretty sure they said they won't be getting the Calliope either, but don't quote me on that.

Actually they did, those are going to be call in/build related to the UKF. USF will be going without, but they will eventually get a 60mm mortar... I think.

USF is the best faction in the game! throw all your shit into a mg42
try to take it out, if you can't you're a noob and if you can .. hey there is another mg42 haha

making this kind of threat in coh2.org forums is ask for axis fanboys to talk shit that they know nothing about.. all you will get in here is

USF IS FINE...

They even have the 76mm sherman in the Ardennes Assault final mission, but they don't add it to multiplayer.

That seems unlikely, seeing as the British used the Centurion instead of the Pershing . . .

easily said then done especially if don't have the munitions to afford it meanwhile axis can pump out MGs even faster starting after the July 21 patch allowing an easy shut down, control of the map and lots of camp spots

yeah, its easy to say ´´ just flank it ´´ when a mg cover half map. and they normally use 2 of them what is a pain in the ass to take out.
when usf needs lot of micro just a mg42 can lock down a good part of the map, so yeah good luck trying to take it out over and over again spending lots of ammunition in smoke nades.

I think the Brits might have gotten some lend-lease. Completely irrelevant anyway since less than a dozen of them ever actually saw and combat and half of that were destroyed in combat.

Agree, USF should be able to get it as a stock unit somehow. Not replacing the 75mm Sherman, but supplementing it.

Also, M4A3E2 Assault Tank "Jumbo". Pershing was rare and didn't effect the war in any way. Jumbos did.

Well too bad, unless Relic decided to add the M4A3E2 with the expansion too, it won't get into the game.

man thats a real lame ass excuse on relic's part would have been better if they came clean and said we plan to add the pershing later on or someday if a lot people ask for it

Which is a shame, the Jumbo helped us through the Ardennes, which USF is based off of. It was liked so much that some tank crews took armour from destroyed Panzers and Shermans and welded it to their own Shermans to create make-shift Jumbos. Then the Pershing jumps in after the war is decided, does practically fuck-all, and becomes the savior of US Armour.

I don't like the addition of the Calliope either. Mobile artillery in CoH2 is fragile, the original faction's can be one-shotted by most AT. Even in WFA the artillery can be two-shotted. Now suddenly we want to have our artillery on a Medium Tank?

Another thing that bothers me, considering most US Rocket Artillery was mounted on Trucks, which does fit the design of CoH2 mobile arty.

Before adding new stuff old stuff should be fixed. Thompsons crews, m3, recon paratroopers, forward observation, ability to lay sandbags, all this stuff which were useless since release need to be redone/seriously buffed.

Than lieutenant cost should be reduced.
Than rifles vet bonuses adjusted.
Than weapons crews should be 5man/without bonus acc received.
Than major artillery made useful.

And only after all of that Relic should consider adding new things to USF.

I wouldn't mention compstops around here. Everyone knows that compstomps don't mean anything and people will immediately form an impression about anyone who does them. I know that I did.
