Hey guys.

I just wanted to hear your thoughts on Assault engies from Armor Doc vs OKW...

I've been trying them out recently, and they seem to stand up better than rifles vs OKW, especially against StormPios. As it allows me to win the first engagement a bit easier and gain map control rather fast in the first few minutes of the game.

As I can still do the usual Tech from. Engies > Captain > Stuart.

Anyway would like to hear some thoughts on this in higher ranked play against OKW. To see if this is a viable counter to the early annoyance of StormPios.

OKW engis far more better then muricans engis. With flames they will do better, but they are more support unit.

Whenever I've been able to use them effectively it's been because I've diverted sturm fire with a rear echelon before getting in close with an assault engie. Otherwise assault engies tend to get wrecked on the approach.

They won't win agasint SP unless, lik said above, you will bait SP with other squad and sneak close, then maybe you will win.

Spamming them is not good solution. Can be used as a buidling cleaners and for demo charges but not as a mainline infantry.

Light AT mines are good.

Light AT mines are good.

I remember reading somewhere that Light AT mines were bugged. Something along the lines of the chance of a critical not increasing after the 3rd or 4th mine. Is that true/still the case?

Is there a magic number that you should group them by to be most effective?

I like the idea of the light mines since I think most players don't expect them. I suppose another option is to pair 1 Light Mine on top of a Demo so that the domino effect triggers the demo. XD

I normally use them in groups of 3 in narrow choke points. If you Infantry Company they're a good way of protecting Jacksons/HMCs late game from Panthers Pumas and P4s.

In Armor they're good if you go T1 an want to kill a 222 without spending 60 muni.

In my experience I've only ever been able to kill units that are far weaker than the Assault engies with them. If you go up against anyone with substantial firepower, they will wipe the floor with your whole squad after you only got one model of theirs.

i agree the time that it takes to close the distance and become effective a few men have already died they dont have the durability of shock troops and seem fragile like pgrens

i think whether the beat strum pios or not depends on how the strum pios are microed if they aren't moving or are in cover they will most likely defeat and advance assault eng squad

SHOUT IT OUT!

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked!

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive.

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
Last Tuesday, 02:58 AM

Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
Last Tuesday, 02:55 AM

Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.
